Somehow one has always sought comfort in the hope that whatever else may happen in a changing world the Boston Evening Transcript would stand put. Never seriously indicted as a "scare" sheet the old comforter of Back Bay has staked its little all upon the satisfactory handling of the expected. Its news material emerges from the editorial offices with the tough parts removed and furnishes its established clientel a not too stimulating contact with a busy world of affairs...

A games at the score sheet of last Saturday's meet will reveal how many entrants come from the New York district or farther south. To ask the hundreds of athletes from distant colleges to make the journey to Boston would be an imposition on coaches and teams.
