...after reading page 48 of the Oct. 3rd issue, was to cancel my subscription. That page, with its rehashing of the foul Beecher scandal, would have a familiar setting in the Daily News or the Graphic. It is altogether out of place in TIME. For printing such a scurrilous attack upon one of the most gifted and cultured men who has appeared in the American pulpit you deserve to lose many subscribers. And you will. What I regret most is that to the man who doesn't know Beecher-and he is in the vast majority- you give...
Nationalist Armies concentrated in the Nanking-Shanghai area and commanded by a military council of five members (TIME, Oct. 3). Onslaught. For variously attributed reasons, the most popular being Bolshevik machinations, Yen joined forces with Feng in a joint attack on Peking.

Brown recovered a fumbled kick, made a touchdown; failed to kick the goal...
There have been many close verdicts, and a liberal sprinkling of spectacular plays in modern Harvard Holy Cross football history, but the dominant characteristic has been the fierce struggle on the one hand to stave off an even more threatening attack and on the other to break down a perennially stubborn defense. For moments of relaxation from the tension of hotly contested encounters we must look back to the first game ever played between the two colleges, in the Stadium in 1904. Harvard won 28 to 5, using so many substitutes as completely to disgust contemporary scribes. Touchdowns then counted...
...deadly array of passes proved the salvation of Holy Cross last year, and Coach Arnold Horween '20 and his staff have been grooming the Crimson defense all this week against a similar attack on Soldiers Field today...
