...Fein movement and as to its ultimate bearing upon the happiness of Ireland; but true men everywhere will join in that token of respect and admiration. To MacSwiney the liberal measure of freedom which Great Britain offers, and the prosperity which has already been achieved, are as nothing in comparison with the territorial and military independence of his people; and in that conviction he made every sacrifice...

With many regulars back in their line up, the Freshmen will be able to present practically all their strength against the sturdy Academy team which so nearly held the Eli cubs to a tic last Saturday. In comparison with this contest, 1924's earlier games have been practice scrimmages. In Captain Wingate, the Andover quarterback, the Yearlings have a dangerous opponent, fast, slippery, and gifted with a decide turn at handling an eleven. Together with Wingate are Mahrt and Ellis, Halfbacks of more than average ability. The Academy line matches 1924 in weight if not experience. Wolf, at end, proved...

It seems now that Princeton, like Centre, will...

...instead of this year, the remaining games on Princeton's football schedule would look even more imposing than they do at present. The game with West Virginia, however, will give the Tigers a chance to wipe out the stain of the defeat last year, and will afford an interesting comparison between the strength of Yale and Princeton. To win the next two games, if this is possible, will call for all that the Tiger team can show in the way of fast and aggressive football...

...inconceivable that a man who has been found guilty, as the Congressman says, "of the most fiendish cruelties" should be allowed to go free, when soldiers who committed what in comparison to the offenses of "Hard-Boiled Smith" were "trivial infractions of the military code" are still serving, time at Leavenworth. According to newspaper reports, Smith has broken parole. If this is true, surely this transgressor against the spirit of fair play should be again apprehended and placed where the perpetrator of such deeds as he committed belongs...
