When the announcement was made, observers were at first shocked by what seemed the inadequacy of Senator Fess as a keynoter. To the casual-minded, he is just a bald, slightly weazened little man with a sapless voice, a sapless personality. He used to teach history at Ohio Northern University and the University of Chicago. He was President of Antioch College from 1907 to 1917. He rustles about in the Senate like a professor in an examination room, reminding heated debaters of the Senate rules, whispering concise answers and directions to his colleagues in the cloakroom. To have such...
...last year, with the Ottawa Senators world's champions, critics said "Watch the Rangers." The blue-shirted New York team were picked to win this year because they were fast and clever, because their centre, Frank Boucher, is the smartest poke-checker in the game, because their two bald defense men, Ivan ("Ching") Johnson and Clarence ("Taffy") Abel, are heavy and efficient, because Bill Cook, who skates with the rhythm of a moose running, is the highest-paid team captain in the National Hockey League, because Bun Cook, his brother who looks like Lindbergh and is engaged...

Blond Murray Murdock, forward of the Ranger's New York hockey club, is one of the fastest, most graceful skaters in professional hockey. He seldom scores. Usually, when he has got past the defense and tried a shot he does not follow the puck like his bald teammate, Ivan ("Ching") Johnson, but skates gracefully back, content that he has made an effort. Last Saturday in Boston young Murdock got angry when Indian-faced Hitchman of Boston, wearing a patch of plaster over each eye, had thrown him against the boards. Three times Murdock went down the ice, scored twice...
