...plot of the O'Neill play is no more far-fetched than that of 'Hamlet'," he replied. "And as for the suggestion that it deals with a theme which could better be handled by an abnormal psychologist,--well, the characters of most of us would furnish interesting material for anyone...
...Heavenly Rest, one of Manhattan's newest, most expensive churches. The subject was not money but the "mystical element in the Christian faith." Pension Expert Sayre was the only lay speaker.

He played a heady and cool game throughout and although not carrying the ball once he was responsible for the last touchdown when he threw another last-minute aerial to Harding, duplicating his feat of the Army game. Harper was back to his old form again when, in the opening quarter, he made two successive first downs single handed...
