Dearest Hopes. In 1914 the Malmö Conference of the Three Kings agreed that Scandinavia would try to keep out of World War I while trading to beat the band with all belligerents. Last week in Stockholm it was already clear that World War II is not going to be any picnic for neutrals, but faces them at the outset with grim threats to their independence. Getting right down to cases, Finnish Foreign Minister Eljas Erkko asked Swedish Foreign Minister Rickard J. Sandier, Danish Foreign Minister Peter Munch and Norwegian Foreign Minister Halvdan Koht what concrete assistance, if any, their...
Last year only four major football teams wound up their regular seasons undefeated, untied. Three of them were Southern: Texas Christian, Duke, Tennessee. All three were invited to participate in post-season Bowl games. Two of them beat their opponents and the third (Duke) had Southern California licked until 18 seconds before the Rose Bowl's final whistle...
Ideological pontiff of the Christian Front, much as he today denies it, is the rabble-rousing baritone of Royal Oak, Mich., Rev. Charles Edward Coughlin.

One Sunday in November last year, he shook his grey-flecked locks and launched into an explanation of why Hitler was renewing his persecutions of the Jews. Naziism, explained Father Coughlin, was a "defense mechanism" against Communism; and Communism was inspired...
...question whether the team is good enough to beat Dartmouth, the answer should be yes if it plays the sort of ball of the which it is capable and which it did play in streaks during the Tech game. However, any play of the type exhibited in the Tufts game and in most of the practice sessions of the past two weeks will be fatal to the Crimson chances...
Crosby's bunch was covered here briefly last week. Most important thing to understand about the band is that their rhythm is completely different from that played by most bands of today. It is two beats to a phrase, instead of four. As a result, you get a style of jazz that is more staccatto, with shorter melodic phrases, and all sorts of trick rhythmic effects achieved thru breaking up the beat. In other words, this is a white man's way of playing jazz, as opposed to the colored man's more lagging, slurring attack of long phrase...
