...Ace of last year's Yardling backfield, Gardella showed Saturday against Cornell that he was the top-ranking Crimson defensive back. He has been out of three days practice this week with a cold but returned yesterday to try out his new wing position.

But two years ago, when he went to Europe and wrote a series of searing attacks on Hitler and Mussolini, his standing was ace high. They deplored his sneers at "Mahatma" Sinclair and his "Brainstorm Trust," reveled in his fury at Huey Long, cooled off again when he began taunting the New Deal about the "Second Louisiana Purchase." Today, "Old Peg" is in bad odor among the intellectuals because of his attacks on the C.I.O...
