...Dartmouth team's home ice, which in addition is natural ice, a speedy contest similar to that of last Saturday should result. As before, it will be a case of speedy accurate passing matched against the crushing defense that seemed to be the Hanover team's best threat in the recent tilt. The fact that Harvard has a strong reserve second line will doubtless help to bring about a win, and the Crimson has been installed the favorite...

If Congress-rejected this proposal, Senator Robinson, confident of Insurgent assent, warned Republican leaders: "You can stick your appropriation bills up-on the shelf." Later they helped...
