Many of the same veterans that defeated Harvard last year at Durham have returned, and New Hampshire should have a strong team. Because of injuries received in the last match Captain Lamb will be unable to box, but his place will be taken by James L. Kunen '36, of last year's undefeated Freshman team. In the 133-pound class Philip W. A. Hines '34, who is so far undefeated, will fight Moody, former Golden Gloves amateur champion...

No direct evidence has yet been produced, but he did know Alex Stavisky well enough to sit in his box at a theatre. Socialists yelled for his head. Premier Daladier demanded his resignation, but as a face-saver offered him the Governor Generalship of Morocco. The telephone connection was very bad.

...musty old theatre. Almost as soon as the Stavisky scandal broke Emile Fabre announced a performance of Shakespeare's Coriolanus. The house was packed.

...history of railroading. General William Wallace Atterbury, Pennsylvania's up-from-Yale-and-the-tracks president, last week estimated that the whole project would provide two years' work for at least 25,000 men. "The Standard Railroad of the World" will build 7,000 steel box cars at a cost of $17,000,000 in its own shops, will buy 101 electric locomotives for some $15,000,000. In his exuberance over this vast enterprise President Atterbury last week handed dazzled newshawks two new business "indices." "The thing to watch for is paint," said the General...
