...players who will make the trip has not yet been determined, but this question will be decided within a few days. The squad will leave for the west immediately at the beginning of the Christmas recess and will have a week in which to train for the game under Californian conditions. The trip is made possible because of the lengthening of the vacation period to 15 days. Therefore, if the team leaves for home immediately after the game, no more than a one or two-day extension of the recess at the most will be needed...
Those of us who live many hundreds of miles from Cambridge are delighted to learn that the federal inspector has issued an edict fixing the rate for meals on a railway dining car at $1.25 a plate. Hence the moderately wealthy Californian will no longer need to embark on a four-days' fast when he comes east to college. We are glad for his sake.

"All of us," he says, "who have seen the Harvard Union and its large service to the University recognize that such an institution is badly needed at California." Just at this moment it is well to receive this suggestion of the impression Harvard without its Union would make upon...
...have won, M. E. McLaughlin, of San Francisco, Cal., has been placed at the head of the tennis ranking list for 1914 by the national tennis committee. Although R. N. Williams, 2d, '16, of Philadelphia, Pa., defeated McLaughlin for the championship at Newport, he is rated second, as the Californian's work in the international Davis Cup matches was of a much higher calibre. This is the first time in the 35 years of tennis in this country that the champion has not been rated in top place. W. J. Clothier '04 was given fifth place, and W. M. Washburn...
