...Tall, baldish, with piercing blue eyes and a cropped mustache, he keeps himself in as rigorous trim as when he was a locomotive mechanic in the Altoona shops. His big-toothed grin is familiar to all Pennsylvania's 115,000 employes. When at home (which is seldom) he lives simply in Radnor outside Philadelphia. He claims that his house is so furnished that he can put his feet up whenever he sits down. A railroad man to the core, he has only one automobile, a Cadillac which he turns in every August for a new model. His two younger...
...Simpsons have gone to Chicago Latin School. Privately founded and run until 1926, school and building were somewhat suddenly sold out from under the parents of 200 pupils.

For headmaster they got George Norton Northrop, a baldish, well-bred, unprofessorial gentleman, collector of paintings and fine furniture, who had taught at Wisconsin and Minnesota Universities, been headmaster of New York's smart Brearley School for six years. Headmaster Northrop stipulated that eventually there should be annuities and sabbaticals for professors, good salaries, an honest attempt...

...when Right End Cherry ran back to pick up a pass from center that had gone over his head. Auburn (Alabama Polytechnic Institute) has an extraordinary football team, called "Tigers" or "Plainsmen." Its coach is Chet Wynne, Notre Dame fullback in 1921. Captain and left halfback is Jimmy Hitchcock, baldish, small, fast, whom Auburn publicists like to compare with famed Red Grange. Quarterback "Ripper" Williams is a clever arrogant field general. The Tigers have a chinless end, David ("Gump") Ariail, who may make the All-American, a stuttering sophomore end named Bennie Fenton. So far this season. Auburn has made...
...announcement of "John Martin's" new job coincided with the 20th anniversary of his magazine. His real name is Morgan von Roorbach Shepard. He says he is 55, looks about ten years older, is small, wiry, baldish. Contrary to strangely persistent legends (besides one that he is a woman) he is neither crippled nor blind, nor has he a harelip. His professional name dates back to his childhood on a Maryland plantation. A bird house in the backyard was occupied by a colony of martins, identified by his mother in her story telling as John, Joan, Robin, Alice...
