...score in any of its previous contests this term, but the Philadelphia combination, although lately defeated 7-2 by Yale, is expected to give the University men some stiff opposition. The meet will be particularly interesting because the University of Pennsylvania team has been coached in the Italian manner, whereas the Crimson foilsmen have always practised the French method of fencing. The home team has also the unusual distinction of including two left-handed fencers...
...articles depict, a being at times strangely like oneself. This kind of humor is found in several of Mr. Herbert's contemporaries and compatriots; notably Hilaire Belloc and H. M. Bateman's drawings. But Mr. Herbert is alone in his remarkable simplicity of style and his difficult--almost apologetic--manner which as he sets forth the most absurd and ridiculous of matter are in themselves entrancing...
...bring old athletes into close personal contact with those of the present. The graduate "H" men have an opportunity to mix freely with the baseball, track, crew, and football men of today, to dine with them at the actual training table.

Harvard athletics will benefit if the attendance at these frequent luncheons will grow, both of the athletes who "have been" as well as those...
...working the length of the oval with a three-man defence in addition to the goal-tender furnishing the opposition. Especial emphasis was laid on the quick repass directly in front of the net. In the Westminster game the University forwards missed several fine chances to score in this manner. A Crimson man would pass beautifully from in back of the cage or from the side, only to have a Westminster skater get the puck instead of one of the other two University attackers. It was this fault that Coach Claflin attempted to obviate yesterday by having the entire forward...
Unquestionably the Conference has accomplished more than was expected; yet war has not been made impossible, and until that has been done those who are supposedly working in an unselfish manner for the general welfare of the world should not rest. The spirit which has made possible the wiping out of many old antipathies must be continued; unless the treaties are carried out to the letter the scoffers will be justified in their criticism. Future good faith, and future agreements, not merely for the limitation of armaments but for the elimination of armaments, will make the Washington Conference the beginning...
