...Like Theseus entering the Labyrinth, with no string to guide him out save Assistant Secretary of War Dwight F. Davis, President Coolidge plunged into the temporary offices where the War Department is carrying on the work of preparing to pay the soldiers' bonus. In and out through corridors of files, with a dozen typewriters clicking in his ears at every turn, a battalion of adding machines belching forth figures from every cranny and 2,700 acolytes, spread over eleven acres of floor space, putting 20,000 requests through the ritual every day, the President wandered, and emerged with a smile?...
...Harvard's best quarterback prospects are said to be Izzy Zarakov, Adolph Cheek, and Joe McGlone, all three of whom are dazzling broken field runners. Harvard's linemen, only one of whom has had first string varsity experience and that in a different position than he now occupies, are much smaller physically than those of former years, and in consequence, less apt to shine in the upstanding, hand-fighting game, and the fact that Robb, a Harvard sprint champion, has been assigned one of the end positions and another fast man the opposite wing position, would indicate that there will...

Another punting duel between Dignan and Williams featured the second half as well. The University line showed a marked weakness in charging and failed to open adequate holes for the backs...
...Tillson was back in uniform Monday after several days' absence due to illness and he relieved Dyer at left end on the second string aggregation for a few minutes. Dyer, however, was back at his old position Tuesday and appears to be putting up a merry battle against the ex-invalid. Murray Gibson, a veteran of last year's eleven and present intercollegiate javelin champion, was inserted into the University backfield Monday, taking the place of Legendre, who was moved to end to replace Shackelford...
