Harvard's football forces were given a taste of the Pennsylvania style of attack yesterday by an ineligible eleven and the manner in which they diagnosed and covered the plays augurs well for Saturday's clash...
...workout contained no actual scrimmaging, but over an hour was devoted to the Red and Blue demonstration. The secondary was particularly alert and quick to sense the hidden ball and fake plays for which the Pennsylvania attack is famed. The line men too were rarely drawn out of position a fact which shows that the experience gained in two hard contests this fall has not gone for naught. Both team A and team B took part in this session and the seconds were only slightly less effective than the regulars...
...stiff wind rendered passing difficult, and the score does not correctly indicate the superiority displayed by the Crimson team.

A heart attack smote General Trotter last week, rendering him unconscious for several hours.

That payroll was finally met, patrons were reassured; but when they arrived for the next concert, placards posted outside told them it had been postponed. Conductor Georges Zaslawsky complained of a heart attack. Violinist Paul Kochanski, who was to have been soloist, complained he was not paid according to contract. Rumor had it that Mrs. Clarence Chew Burger, the Symphony's chief underwriter and conductor's friend, had withdrawn her support...
