Scheu, track captain and star miler for Harvard, placed fourth in the New Hampshire meet this year, but finished close behind the leaders and a good distance ahead of the nearest New Hampshire man. Playfair is a sure point winner in any race, while Channing, who was better known last year for his job as anchor man on the relay team than for cross-country, has developed greatly through the summer, and may break the tape in any race...
There is the point that the right side is several lengths ahead of the left. Captain Gundlach and Mike Aldis are a nearly airtight combination. Gunny, at right guard, provides the experience of three years of Varsity football, while Mike, playing next door to him at right tackle, adds 202 pounds of well-placed beef plus some of the cleanest tackles that have been seen of late on Soldiers Field. Over on the left part of the outfit things are not quite so stabilized. There are four men who have almost equal right to two positions. The two Bills, Messrs...
...nation's newsmen for a personal ''Yes'' or ''No'' on the New Deal. By last week it had received and tabulated replies from editors and publishers of about 35% of the U. S. daily press.

A thin, pretty girl with red dish hair, sherry-colored eyes...
...story, are Powell's songs: "Happiness Ahead," "Pop Goes Your Heart," "Beauty Must Be Loved." Madame du Barry (Warner) is a conscientious, heavy-handed effort to tell the story of one of the most exciting women who ever lived. It begins when Madame du Barry (Dolores Del Rio) is brought to Louis XV (Reginald Owen) as nominee for a place in a distinguished line of mis tresses, and ends shortly before the Revolution when, with Louis dead and his watchmaker-grandson on the throne, du Barry is led off to prison. In the interim, she has gone sleigh-riding...
