Last week as a high wind shrilled and blew, one Glen Higley, miner, rode the tram bucket. The cable thrummed; the slowly traveling bucket creaked and groaned as it swayed 200 feet above ground. Miner Higley felt frolicsome, peered over the edge. A bellows-gust of wind struck the swaying bucket neatly and pitched him out. Because he lit in a snow drift he will live...

The referee's arm began to rise and fall...
...went home, content. They had seen what they came for. They had seen, also, Marek (Ohio State) break lose from one tackier, jump another, cross Grange's goal line. Score: Illinois 14, Ohio State 9. All autumn the skilful toe of Benny Friedman and the oaken-bound bucket-ribs of "Bull" Molenda have kept Michigan high in the Conference League. On Saturday this pair, with, alternate punts and bucks, drop-kicks and hurtling off-tackle plays, performed against Minnesota. Score: Michigan 35, Minnesota 0. Northwestern was tied with Michigan for the Conference championship...
