...hadn't been caught from behind in the Columbia clash after a 68-yard sprint, that fracas might have ended in a tie. In the epic battle with Yale last Saturday this great ground-gainer piled up more yards than any other back in the game, not excluding Albie Booth, and pulled off some remarkably spectacular runs. Dartmouth's other great threat, Bill Morton, put on last year one of the most beautiful exhibitions of kicking seen in the Stadium for a long time, and his accurate toe was the chief factor in his team's 7 to 2 victory...
...friends of Penrod who take their way to the University Theatre this week are not likely to applaud the talking film as heartily as they would if they had never met the boy before. The engaging qualities of Booth Tarkington's book do not lie so much in the plot, as in the subjective treatment of a small boy's world and the wistfully humorous sketching of puppy-love.

...Yale. There they played one of the week's biggest games against a Chicago team coached by grizzled, 69-year-old Amos Alonzo Stagg, who was Yale All-American end in 1888 and whose son Paul was in the Chicago lineup. Yale's famed little Albie Booth played only two quarters but gave Midwestern Yale men their money's worth by gaining 37 yd. in scrimmage, running punts back 20 yd., intercepting two passes, dropkicking with precision. He let burly Tommy Taylor carry the ball on power plays but did most of Yale's passing with...
