...statement that a 'howling mob of McGill University students here tore down an American flag in Montreal on November 20th, spat on its trampled it underfoot and then did a snake dance on the soiled and trampled remnant,' is wholly and unqualifiedly untrue. The entire story which follows, established on these false premises, is equally untrue...
...York Union Club, demanding that the British flag which was flying in celebration of the Pilgrim Tercentenary, be furled, made a grave mistake. While such an act cannot possibly hurt England, or England's honor, it may, however, easily bring harm to the Irish themselves.

Time after time the men who packed the Living Room to its utmost capacity and overflowed into the hallways rose en masse and cheered steadily for several minutes. When the eleven walked up onto the platform, R. W. Emmons ocC. led cheers for each member of the team and then W. H. Trumbull '15 spoke...
