...cartoon from the Yale Record . . . amused a great many of us Georgia alumni. On the back of the college official talking to the prospective footballer is written unmistakably "University of Georgia." It is obvious to us why the Yale cartoonist picks on Georgia, although the only difference between the recruiting of athletes at Yale and down south is that Yale has more money to spend, and goes about it more subtly. Yale men long ago founded the University of Georgia. Later, they established a pleasant football relationship, with Yale winning every year. Then beginning in the late '20s, Georgia...
...most timeless statements. In the very latest issue, for example, there is a somewhat autobiographical piece by a writer who describes himself as having "the appearance of a second-hand, dejected tea-bag" and whose prose style is, in most respects, consistent with his aspect.

From Heute's literal-minded German readers came a flood of confident answers. Samples...
Hearst's King Features Syndicate last week paid $1,500 for the comic-strip rights to Duchess Hotspur, Rosamond Marshall's flashy, trashy, bedroomy bestseller about a flaunting, extravagant queen in 18th Century London. Purpose: to run it in November as a cartoon-&-text feature in the New York Mirror and other Hearst papers-now tapering off on their anti-dirty book campaign...
