...that his lack of system is the most systematic of all. It consists simply in inventing plays to suit his players instead of choosing players who can execute his plays. This year, Northwestern lacks a crack line plunger and good pass-receiving ends. Consequently, the Northwestern attack is built around plays designed to shake running backs clear on off-tackle thrusts, supplemented by short passes to receiving backs. Like many other coaches this year, Northwestern's Waldorf capitalizes "mousetrap" plays-allowing an opposing lineman a clear path to the backfield where a back takes him out of the play...
Under the departmental heading LIFE on the American Newsfront, was depicted the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Superimposed on this aerial view was what no camera can yet show: The architect's drawing of the island which is to be built for the 1939 San Francisco World's Fair. Other featured items of picture-news were Louisiana's "Moses" foundling; the spectacular death of Minnesota's Dr. Joseph Graham Mayo, who drove his automobile up a railroad track; awards for diction and genius, respectively, to Actress Ina Claire and Playwright Eugene O'Neill...

There Jonathan Philbrook gained immortality by building the first schooner. There for more than a century was the centre of the U. S. shipbuilding industry. But in Bath today there is only one active shipyard-the famed Bath Iron Works. Hitherto a tightly-held little company, Bath Iron Works last week became a publicly-owned corporation. A banking group headed by Manhattan's Hemphill, Noyes & Co. offered 50,000 shares...
Founded in 1889 by Maine's General Thomas Worcester Hyde, Bath Iron Works has had an erratic record. It nearly went under in 1895 when an experimental armored ram built for the Navy failed to develop the speed required. The firm was saved by a special Act of Congress which authorized the craft's acceptance on the ground that the builders were not responsible for its deficiencies. A few years later Bath Iron Works was sold to Charles Michael Schwab's U. S. Shipbuilding Co., which sold it back to General Hyde...
