Well, they seem TO be swung rather
easily. provided the proper arrange

advantages accrue. First of all, there

could be finer than the opportunities
which the young American coilegians
have of observing manners. customs
and points of view of alien peoples.
Oriental Mines Good.
In the case of the University of
Washington, whose nine played in
the Orient last Fan, an invitation for
the trip was extended by Wazda

all games played by the team, took

Thus far this season Dewitt has
lost only to the Navy Plebes and
Baltimore Friends. although so far
as the Baltimoreans are concerned
Dewitt is even as it defeated the
Monumental City boys here recently

five regulars because of scholastic
difficulties, Coach s. r. Kimble has
