...utility, simple methods. Modern architects expound the same virtues. Perhaps the fact that many of them fought in the World War is significant. In November 1918, John Wellborn Root, Captain with the U. S. Engineer Corps in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne offensives, was wounded near Nancy. John Augur Holabird, later to become his architectural partner, was a West Pointer, served as Major and later as Lieutenant Colonel of Field Artillery...
Holabird & Root are both sons of able architects. John Augur Holabird's father, William Holabird, established the firm of Holabird & Roche early in the century. Son John, 43, was born in Evanston, went to the Hill School, to West Point, to the Beaux-Arts. In 1919 he joined his father's firm, helped design the Chicago Temple Building, Grant Park Stadium (Soldier Field, famed scene of Tunney's second victory over Dempsey), Palmer House, Stevens Hotel, all of Chicago...
...Italo-Papal treaty & concordat (TIME, Feb. 18), to indemnify the Holy See for its losses of 1870 by a cash payment of $92,000,000.

Coach Horween's first and second-string backfields proved equally effective, showing infinite possibilities. Speed, shiftiness, and drive, coupled with ability to flash an accurate aerial attack, augur well for the season. The interference carried out its assignments well for the most part, taking out Springfield's secondary defense on the end runs and clearing the holes made by the line on the plays through the opposing forward wall. Four forward passes were attempted, two of which succeeded. S. L. Batchelder '31 was on the passing end of both of these, with T. W. Gilligan '31 receiving. This combination looks...
These results would seem to give Yale the edge in Saturday's encounter, and augur a sixth consecutive defeat for the Crimson. Since 1922, when the University broke a four year Elli winning streak by a seven point margin, some of the closest meets on record have gone to the Blue. Two years ago Captain W. L. Tibbetts '26 led a fighting team rated as the underdog to a heroic effort which ended with Yale holding a 67 2-3 to 67 1-3 margin...
