...half position. Bill Clark, who ran 52 yards to help the Big Green to tie the Crimson game in the closing minutes of the game last year is just at capable now as then and will be a considerable help if he is able to play. Tony Geniawicz, the catapult in the Green backfield will probably see service also. He has been shifted from the bucking back position to a halfback berth this last week. Joe Kiernan the sophomore fullback who scored two touchdowns last week will carry out the second string bucking back assignment...

In the spring of 1930 the Department of Justice set forth to prove the patent pool was in restraint of trade. Last week rather than stand a long and costly trial with the risk of losing the case and being heavily fined, the defendants agreed to mend their set-up as the Government suggested, stoutly insisting nevertheless that they had violated no law. Their consent will be a boon...
