Grsnfland Rice 'Copyright, 1922, New York Tribune) There Is still ample room for debate as to whether the Old Grad or the undergraduate un-dergraduate takes defeat more serious- 1 ly. We doubt that ono can present anj set rule upon this nubjiet. There Hj aro many Old Grade who don't bother much, one way or another. But there are certain other loyal souls, such as Big Bill Edwards and Dutch Carter. I Heywood Broun and John T. Mi Gov ern, who are not built to look bright! upon defeat.

There are still two hurdles to be taken before this meeting will be In : order. Carpentler must overpower Ted j I .owls and Greb must peel the crown from Tunne B furrowed brow, and It" H the dope is worth two kopeks a ton this will happen. If Greb and Carpentler meet, those " sitting in the neighborhood at thi time will see enough action to last two r-nrs Greb starts with the gong.
