...insult directed at the flag of a great nation is indicative of serious and dangerous feelings. Judging from what the CRIMSON mind had to say in a recent editorial entitled "Greater Ireland," it appears that aspersions cast upon the Union Jack in America are regarded as more important and less friendly than the trampling on the Stars and Stripes by students of McGill University in Canada two weeks ago, and the similar defiling of this country's emblem by sailors of the British Navy over a year ago in Bermuda. Perhaps gross ignorance of what is going...
...start with, let me say that in our classes the same methods of attack and defense are taught that Jack Dempsey, Jack Britton, Benny Leonard, Johnny Kilbane and other champions had to learn in the more rugged school of Give and Take when they were youngsters breaking in. The same left jab, the same right cross, the same block and the same parry are a part of our system, but they are learned and practiced by the majority, not with the thought of achieving any championship honors, but with the idea of attaining genuine exercise.

The same spirit tramples the Union Jack in a New York gutter that stoned American soldiers on their way to fight for America's safety beyond the seas...
...Haggin takes a hand in the spectacular design of the "Love Boat." The recently much-press-agented Mary Eaton makes her Follies debut with graceful toe dancing and a couple of songs, but her comparatively unknown namesake, Doris, is fully as pleasing and deserves more attention. Jack Donahue is an entertaining exponent of loose-jointed dancing, Carl Randall works hard in varied acts, and John Steele sings' well, but to mention all who materially aid the performance would be a lengthy task...
