Word comes from Brown, however, that the team will be even stronger than when it faced Yale as Spates and Shupert, two star backfield men who have been on the sick-list for two weeks, and Fox, who starred last year at quarterback against the University but who has just returned to the college, will be available to send against the University substitutes. In scrimmage last week Fox starred. Thursday in a practice game between teams "A" and "B." he made a wonderful exhibition of broken field running by taking the ball 90 yards for a touchdown. However, his lack...
...they are the ones to blame; but the men-the workers who form the great mass of the Unions-it is for them to say that this thing has gone far enough, and must stop. It is for them to make sure that the public, which is already sick of strikes whose names are legion, does not, because of the actions of labor leaders, turn its back with disgust on the whole question of labor's demands, be they fair or otherwise.

This it is which gives to the American election an importance far transcending the boundaries of the United States. Its conduct is the affair of the American people alone...
...Convention Hall from now on will be mere puppet-play, actuated by the wire-pulling from behind the scenes. Stirring puppet-play it will be; the Old Guard, divided against itself, making what may prove to be its last stand in a presidential nomination; Senator Penrose from his sick bed trying to let his voice be heard once more; Senator Lodge facing the struggle of his career with the half-hearted applause at his speech mocking his efforts; and conflicting groups from every state and section dubbing their favorite sons "dark horses" and trying to ride them through to victory...
