In as exciting a game as has been seen in its 57-year history, the underdog Bulldogs tore the Harvard team to tatters, kept them away from the Yale goal line until the very last minute, scampered away with a 20-to-7 victory.

Next year it may be different...
Before Munich the British Air Ministry cast its eye about for a source of Empire-built aircraft out of the reach of Hitler's bombers. The Ministry's eye fixed on Canada.

It was formed with Government blessing to coordinate aircraft orders from Britain. All its stock is held by six Canadian aircraft makers. The six: Canadian Car & Foundry Co., Fairchild Aircraft, National Steel Car Corp., Canadian Vickers, Fleet Aircraft, Ottawa Car & Aircraft...
