...Behind its failure is a story of petty Louisiana politics. Each bidder for the bridge franchise secured the services of a former Governor as counsel. When the New Orleans investment house of Watson-Williams won the bid, a retaliatory political campaign was begun for free ferries and a free bridge. Gov. Oramel Simpson campaigned for re-election on a free-bridge platform. So did Huey P. Long. Long won. Gov.

With seven consecutive victories behind them, the Freshman hockey team swings into the final stretch of the season when it faces the St. Paul's sextet at Concord tomorrow in the last game before that with Yale on March...

Under such circumstances, the Cornell champion might well lead Reid across the finish line, but even this upset would not alter the point total to any great degree. Leslie Flaksman '29, who finished a short distance behind Reid in the two mile last year, may safely be counted on for third position...
