...elfish News, as Yalemen quickly realized, was burlesquing William Randolph Hearst, but elsewhere in the land Red scares were no laughing matter. In Massachusetts Governor Curley signed a bill requiring every public school teacher to lead her class in a weekly salute to the flag.

California's legislature, angered by 18 University of California professors who ventured to protest its anti-radical bill, toyed with another bill which would bring...
Barred to Yale's present sophomores and to all their successors will be the familiar U. S. method of getting a college degree by accumulating credits for courses passed.

Vassar's captain was hit in the eye so hard she could not play against Princeton. Score: Yale 4, Yassar 0. Next day in the Princeton game a Vassar player had the wind knocked out of her, gamely resumed play. Sticks were broken, roughness was about equal on both sides. Miss...

But she is infatuated with a footballer (Charles Laskey) who, badly banged up after a game, is carried in on the shoulders of adoring young Yalemen. Left alone with the heroine he tackles her at the knees, rolls her over, suddenly becomes exhausted and limp...
