...following men were elected to the Student Council from 1917: Richard Harte, of Philadelphia, Pa., 231; West-more Willcox, Jr., of Norfolk, Va., 200; Eric Alexander Douglas, of Buffalo, N. Y., 136; Norman Elwell Burbidge, of Spokane, Wash., 127. The elections to the Student Council are by direct vote, the largest number winning...
...Harvard's four touchdowns were of the same order as that which won the M. A. C. game a week ago, the direct result of "watchful waiting," but the rest of the score was of the more satisfying sort, for it was rolled up by the crumbling of the Carlisle defense before a powerful attack.
