Macdonald is a certain starter against the Quakers on Saturday, and he will probably be ready for contact work tomorrow. The only casualties in the point-a-minute Chicago romp were three minor charley horses for Charley Spreyer, Frannie Lee, and Chub Peabody. All three will be ready for action by tomorrow. Ernie Sargeant, another reported casualty, was back in his regular first-string guard spot yesterday...
Both Joe Koufman and Gene Lovett served fair warning yesterday in the Jayvee-C team scrimmage that they have returned to the fight for Varsity terminal posts. Neither outpost candidate made the trip to Chicago because of injuries, but both are ready now. Loren MacKinney seems pretty solidly entrenched at the left wing, but either Koufman or Lovett has a chance to edge out operatives Kelley or Devine for the other...
Spriest of all financial oldsters is a testy, box-jawed Bostonian named Frederick Henry Prince, who is, among other things, the money behind Chicago's smelly Stock Yard and the Board Chairman of Armour & Co. Last week two big newspapers, the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune, carried a story about Financier Prince: that in view of his approaching (Nov. 24) 80th birthday, he would not stand for reelection to the chairmanship of Armour.

...Financier Prince. Among them: he boasts that at various times he has owned 46 different railroads, that he has built four, that at the height of his operations he was good for $20,000,000 personal credit; he is reported to have refused $50,000,000 for his Chicago holdings, and to have been one of the few to liquidate before the 1929 crash; his son, Norman Prince (strictly forbidden to fly by F. H.) was a leader in organizing the famed Lafayette Escadrille, was killed in action; in 1934, he bought the big sloop Weetamoe for the America...
...smelting ingots at better than 100% of nominal capacity. Bethlehem's battery of 30 old and new furnaces at Buffalo is now working at 100% for the first time in Bethlehem's history. Steel's (mostly Big Steel's) last reserve of obsolescent capacity in Chicago and Pittsburgh waited to limp into action. When these furnaces are blown in to work once every five or ten years, steelmen prepare for overproduction and shutdown...
