Canadian Authors Douglas & LeCocq dedicate their "confidential guide" to England to "hit-and-run writers from England ... to Mary Queen of Scots, Joan of Arc, and other ladies who have misjudged the English-and to the Atlantic Ocean which keeps us apart." Author LeCocq has been to England; Author Douglas has not. Their little (112-page) satire on their Motherland scores many a palpable hit, is never far off the mark. Both for Americans who have been to England and for those who have never been nearer than Punch, Britannia Waives the Rules will be good interlinear reading...
With five minutes left to play and the score 6-to-6, the biggest crowd of the year (80,000) saw Notre Dame's Andy Pilney drop back for a pass from his own 38-yd. line. The ball sailed across the line of scrimmage in a high arc, landed in the arms of Notre Dame's Dan Hanley who was dragged down by two tacklers on Army's 25-yd. line. Two line plays followed and then Pilney dropped back to pass again. This time, Hanley caught the ball just beyond the line of scrimmage...
...attention has been called to an editorial in your issue of November 19, entitled "Ending With a Kiss," in which you attribute to Loomis the honor of having been Jeanne d'Arc'd to victory over the behemoths of Deerfield by the promises of Miss Bette Davis.

As evidence, I bring forward the fact that three of our four most effective backs...
...last scene centers in the private sanctum of the Gold Eagle Line, 1906. Here one sees plushy opulence indirect and each visitor must enter through a golden Arc de Trlomphe, from which dangles a heavy medallion. Young Guy comes gleefully in to tell his hated failure that the scuttled ship has been said vaged, and the crime thereby disclose Gold Eagle tries to reason, but failling that he invokes the Deity to descend upon on this wayward Absalom. At the dramatic moment, Heaven responds with a beautifully-handled earthquake, in which father and son perish as the Gold Eagle...
...afternoon a metallic mass swooped in a long arc over Maine and Massachusetts. Groundlings saw its orange-red path, heard a mighty rumbling and hissing. Somewhere above the Massachusetts coastline the meteor exploded. At Salisbury Beach a crowd of Emergency Relief workers saw a fireball drop into the sea, cringed as another fragment thudded into the ground a scant 100 ft. away. One worker hastened to the spot, found the meteorite too hot to handle. A man near Newburyport saw a fireball with a 15 ft. trail splash into the ocean a half-mile from shore. Over Cape...
