...colleges which still cling to old-fashioned ground plays is the University of Pittsburgh, for the past 15 years coached by tall, angular Dr. John Bain ("Jock") Sutherland. Jock Sutherland, who learned his football under famed Pop Warner, is the envy of every other football coach in the country this year. He has what they call a "dream backfield''-powerful running backs who can block, kick and handle passes with equal skill...
Perhaps the most interesting man to watch among the enemy tomorrow is none other than the running back son of the Bruin Coach, little McLaughry, Jr. Austen Lake has called him "a lean, strapping 197-pounder with the same angular put-together and legginess of his sire, though swarthier in complexion and a brunet in place of his dad's blondness."

Little Lake Forest Academy (180 students), in a swank Chicago suburb, is remarkable not for its plant (valued at only $750,000) or ivied tradition (although it is one of the oldest prep schools in the Midwest) but for its long, angular headmaster, John Wayne ("Big Dick") Richards. Major reason for last week's celebration was Big Dick's 25th anniversary as headmaster. Biggest news was his report on the success of the "Richards plan," which he started at Lake Forest eight years ago (TIME, Aug. 18, 1930) and which...
...reporters about his plant. He opined that the most prosperous era in U. S. history is just around the corner because industry is opening up a whole new field for agricultural byproducts. Picking up a curved sheet of a composition which he said was made from soybeans, the angular old man jumped enthusiastically up & down on it, exclaimed triumphantly: "If that was steel it would have caved in." Almost entire cars, said Henry Ford, will soon be made of such things as soybeans...
