...leaving Berlin, Premier Imrédy explained to the German press that the real purpose of the "informal agreement" at Bled was to get concessions for Hungarian minorities in neighboring states. This neatly absolved Admiral Horthy of double dealing while he was accepting Hitler's hospitality, made it appear that he was trying to do the same thing as his host, get minority concessions out of Czechoslovakia...
About 200 Freshmen turn out for football each fall, with coach Neil Stahley sending out the first call for the very afternoon of registration day. Enough prep school captains usually appear to make up a whole squad, but that does not mean that everyone is not given a chance, and the only way you will be able to find out whether your are another Barry Wood or Vornon Struck is to go out and so.

He can throw 1,200 punches in a 15-round fight (as he did against Barney Ross last May) and appear no more fatigued than if he had spent an evening at a Harlem shindig. He has fought on an average of twice a month in the past year, has knocked out 35 of his last 38 opponents. Most fight fans agreed that the little Iron Man would hammer Lightweight Champion...
