...several years back, J. N. Watters, was quite naturally called "Soapy" ever since his Exeter days, and every man with a name like Rhodes might just as well be christened "Dusty" at birth by his parents. All freely given names are not so obvious as these two, however. Bill McGeehan, probably the dean of American nicknamers, has almost single-handed run what he calls the cauliflower industry into the ground with his nicknames and epithets. "Horizontal" Joe Beckett, Phil Scott, the Leaning Tower of London, Signor Campolo, the Gyrating Gyraffe of the Andes, do not add much dignity and importance...
...Grays, under the direction of Swede Youngstrom, played the part of the Harvard eleven, running through the various Crimson plays and passes with some degree of success. The third and fourth teams were on the defensive during most of the scrimmage, but late in the afternoon Bart McDonough, Bill Morton and Bill McCall took turns at directing the Green team, running through plays which the coaches considered rough in spots and needing some improvement. The practice would have continued until after dark had the team managers been able to turn on the flood lights which surround the football field...

During hearings on the present tariff bill an attempt was made to restore it. This movement was blocked through the influence of Secretary of State Stimson, who, a onetime (1927-29) Philippine governor, said that a tax on Philippine sugar would ruin the Islands. The sugar Senators, arguing chiefly to impress their sugar-growing constituents, assumed that...
...odds; this has been due in large measure to the enthusiastic co-operation of the entire University. Last year there was much talk on the Campus about making the schedule harder. Well, Amherst and Brown were no set-ups, and the next five will all be bigger and tougher. Bill Roper and the team can make little ones out of them, however, if the undergraduates are willing to do their part. They will have a chance to show such willingness at the mass meeting tomorrow night. --The Princetonian...
