Word has come from Germany of the acquittal, in the series of trials and investigations into German submarine atrocities, of Lieutenant Neumann, commander of the U-boat that sunk the English hospital ship, "Dover Castle". He was adjudged to be not responsible, because he had orders from those "higher up". Marshal von Sanders, who by his own confession encouraged the massacres in Armenia, has also been freed of any stigma, in that he was acting under "instructions from the Government". Furthermore it now seems probable that the man who torpedoed the Listerine, and all the other submarine commanders will escape...
With the two hard games against Princeton' and Brown not yet sunk very far into the background, the University nine will meet another fast opponent in the Williams baseball team on Soldiers Field this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The visitors, it is true, have not won all their games to date, but they have improved considerably since the start of the season and with the veteran pitchers Patton and Holmes, and Benny Boynton leading the attack, will in all probability present a difficult proposition to Coach Slattery's men this afternoon...

It would be interesting to make this experiment; obtain the best of Shakspearean actors for the production of the immortal's plays with the money sunk into the elaborate Broadway revue as a working capital for scenery costumes and modern theatrical appliances, and tour the country as frequently as do the modern bedroom farces. Perhaps the public would want more of Shakespeare then...
...jump on the first play, the Freshmen failed to score after several well-executed passes, and the State five uncorked a fast offense which netted several scores before the victors could cage a shot. The Crimson 1924 men had poor luck at shooting while the New Hampshire Freshmen sunk a volley of shots from all parts of the floor, and led 22-13 after the first period...
