...last week. It was to be the last important game of his college career for Cliff Montgomery, Columbia's captain, quarterback and current hero. Behind a pile-driving line he made an early touchdown, only to see Navy tie the score with a 76-yd. run by Halfback "Buzz" Borries. Again in the third period Montgomery made a touchdown and the game looked safe. In the last few minutes Ed Brominski batted a Navy pass into the arms of Navy's Borries. Borries dashed for Columbia's goal, was tackled on the 8-yd. line by Cliff...
...York. Philadelphia, Chicago. Dowagers and their escorts pushed their way impatiently through the sidewalk crowds. Music students, shabby and excited, ran up the steps to their top-gallery seats. Out of the wings like ball-players leaving their dugouts came the big league orchestra players. Oboes sounded A.

Anderson in a nip & tuck election. Mayor Anderson had kept Minneapolis from seeing Crazy Quilt, Fanny Brice's raw revue. He had vetoed the city's beer ordinance, sent citizens to St. Paul for Sunday drinks. Many a Minneapolitan, weary of reform, turned hopefully...
...Buzz" Bainbridge was born in Pittsburgh. A lisping sister called him "buzzer,'' gave him his nickname. He ran away, joined a circus, did theatrical press-agentry and 22 years ago became manager of the Shubert in Minneapolis. He married Actress Marie Gale who played ingenue parts in his Shubert stock company, helped him to clear off a $44,000 debt in three years. Most businessmen counted on him to manage Minneapolis as well as he had managed the Shubert...
