...more exciting to watch--few opponents more dangerous. A lot is said about victories and morale, usually with the tongue in the cheek. But at the end of the third quarter in Saturday's game Harvard had little but morale left. Those who raw are bound to agree with Jack Hardwick that ties are not accidents, especially when they occur in the last few minutes of play, as Princeton and Penn State have each borne witness twice. It is just a matter of "homely guts", and if Harvard ever showed "guts" she showed them on Saturday with her "vagabond backfield...
...unanimous decision of university authorities a lumber jack forty-two years of age--an engineering student in the University of Washington whose education until a year ago was confined to the seventh grade of an Irish grammar school--was termed one of the twenty-five most brilliant minds in the United States. This honor was conferred upon him as a result of making a perfect score in the army "alpha" intelligence test. He required only thirteen of the seventeen minutes allowed to complete the test, a feat which was une ualed by any of the 3,000,000 service...
...examinations are such to allow him to become a regular student next year. He transferred last fall from Notre Dame, where he made a name for himself as a miler, and this winter he has been running for the B. A. A. He has been training this spring under Jack Ryder, the B.

Each of them has taken active part in making the good record of the team. Tunney, who is a Freshman, will probably be the choice of Coach Jack Barry, former Red Sox star, in today's game. Behind him will be a team of sluggers as well as steady and flashy fielding players. Maguire is perhaps the heaviest hitter and is likewise a power of the first-class about second base. Santoro, Simendinger, and the Dugan brothers...
...Jack Donahue, the feather-footed dancer from the "Follies", exhibited his limberness to an enthusiastic audience, nor was his patter the least amusing part of his act. His unexpected appearance during the slack wire exhibition of the Levolos added a needed touch of humor to an otherwise ordinary performance. J. Rosamond Johnson and his five negro kings of syncopation strummed their banjos and pounded the keys in the noisiest and most approved style, to the satisfaction of their good-natured listeners. The other skits and song-and-dance acts, however, were hardly up to the usual Keith level...
