Fred W. Moore '93, graduate treasurer of the H. A. A., yesterday announced the tentative football schedule for the fall of 1920. He took this action because of the fact that many newspapers have been publishing schedules of their own made up principally by guess-work.

About football this year, it's a funny business but I guess the Harvard boys aint got a much worse team than any of the others. If you should see Mr. Eddie Casey tell him to run faster with the ball this time because he should understand it that this business with Yale is not a monkey business...

His characters are alive, and the wind blows. In Balked Mr. Raffalovich burlesques certain modern fads, but such fads, even in burlesques, are worth neither the expenditure of Mr. Raffalovich's gifts nor the time of the paper maker...
