...rest of the performance at all. Every act is a masterpiece of its kind. Everyone has heard of the Wooden Soldiers, and of Katinka and her inexorable polka, but in vigor of execution, in recognition of artistic requirements and in sheer merit, these two most popular scenes scarcely outdo the others. The music throughout is so far above the level of the American vaudeville that one hesitates to apply that classification to the Russian counterpart.

Harvard's undefeated hockey seven will face off with the Dartmouth visitors on the Arena ice tonight at 8.15 o'clock. Although the Green team was completely humbled Thursday evening at the hands of the B. C. team, the boys from Hanover were able to outdo the fast M. A. C. team, and once they have found their pace on strange ice should put up a clever passing game...
