Meanwhile, alert lawmakers, who keep little notebooks, began to list the questions which Congress ought to solve within the next year. A peek into such a notebook revealed the following entries: Prohibition enforcement legislation which General Lincoln C. Andrews is demanding, McFadden-Pepper Branch Banking bill, radio regulation bill, alien property settlement, Muscle Shoals leasing or sale, railroad consolidation, government shipping business, national waterways and the Great Lakes dispute (TIME, Nov. 22), action on Col. Carmi A. Thompson's report on the Philippines (see p. 8), Lausanne Treaty, ratification or rejection of the Berenger-Mellon French debt pact, farm...
...instant. Harvard now had its back to the wall, and a moment later Captain Coady tried to kick from his 25-yard streak. The Crimson line buckled; Richards, Yale tackle, took the ascending pigskin on his chest, and the ball rolled across the goal line, where the alert Sturhahn pounced on it for the score.

Miss Kennedy depends upon her ability as an actress; she is constantly alert from beginning to end, with never a gesture too many, and never a quarter note too high, so far as she can see. Sidney Blackmer, as Gregory Farnham, the American lover, twice entangled by engagements, employs the easy, off-stage air which distinguishes Roland Young. There is too much, physically...
...point lead. Powerful line bucks by Miller alternated with shifty running by Putnam and French accounted for most of the advances. On the defense the University linemen led by a fast, fighting pivot in the person of Gamache were equally effective. Holy Cross succeeded in penetrating this alert, smashing defense for few gains and were never in a position to threaten the Harvard goal line...
