...spite of a heavy rain all the 1923 teams scrimmaged yesterday afternoon. Teams A and B, alternately given the ball, fought it out on the 20-yard line for thirty minutes. Team B showed the stronger attack and was able to score against the regulars. The line-up of Team A was as on Saturday with the exception of H. W. Clarke and R. Morton, who were replaced by L. W. Post and G. Owen, respectively, both of whom played against Worcester. Team A now averages 165 pounds. P. B. Kunhardt, right tackle, is the heaviest man on the eleven...
Naturally, the Weed is not in exactly the same class as His Majesty, King Alcohol. Although a few of us enjoy life. as well and save considerable good money by omitting tobacco from our menu, the overwhelming majority offer incense to the God of Nicotine. But to attack the W. C. T.

Second, during the Omaha riots another negro was accused of an attack on a white woman and confined by the military authorities. The case was printed in scare-crow headlines in all our newspaper. In a later edition of the Boston Herald, in small type, at the fag-end of a long article on the riots, the statement was made that the accused had been released-nothing else. Can any fair-minded American believe that this is honest and fair dealing? Why was the world not told in as bold type and as plainly as the accusation was made that...
Bismark, being asked what he would do if his right flank were protected by fortifications and his left flank by a promise replied he would prepare for an attack through the promise. So, in 1914, peaceful Belgium was protected by a promise, but, unlike the Iron Chancellor who was a German and judged others by himself--Belgium looked for an attack from nowhere. She rested in false security, as everyone knows. Her government was riddled with German espionage; the forts surrounding Antwerp had been electrically wired by a German firm, so that when the stege later came, the wiring...
