...runs are far less bright than Yale's. Captain McCulloch of the Tiger team is a dependable veteran, but will have great difficulty in winning from Campbell, the Elistar. Other Princeton distance men of promise are Penfield is the most likely one of these to place against Yale. Captain Swede of the Princeton cross-country team will be the Tiger's chief hope in the two-mile. Swede holds the inter scholastic championship of the country in this event; and the competition between him and Hilles will be of the keenest variety although Swede is still bothered by a foot...
...list: W. E. Massey, Princeton's most dependable hurdler, cannot take part in this event because of a recent attack of appendicitis, although he may be used in the sprints later in the year; Johnson, a crack man in the half, is laid up with the mumps; while Captain Swede of the Cross Country team is having trouble with an injured foot and may be compelled to stay out of some of the meets this spring...

They defeated Yale two weeks ago with little difficulty, Rogers capturing first place. It is doubtful whether they will be able to cope with Cornell's well balanced team, especially as Swede is hampered...
...some clever dance specialties, Vivien Oakland sings well, and John T. Murray keeps the audience in laughter during a short act of miscellaneous small talk entitled "Out Front." Marie Dressler is amusing as always, but the real comedian of the show is Al Brendel, who, as Yonson the Swede, is vastly entertaining. Every time he appeared on the stage, it was a signal for merriment on the part of the audience; one scene in particular, in which every article of apparel he wears falls apart in turn, brought loud applause. He and Flo Burt are ludicrously funny in the "Honeymoon...
