V. Soong; and chubby Dr. Sun Fo, son of the Republic's founder, Sun Yatsen. The Communists were missing...
...forty-five minute scrimmage, the first string worked throughout on defensive against the Crimson-clad Jayvees. Bruising play by the center of the Varsity line, Captain Dick Hollingshead, Fritz Barzilauskas, and Bill Schuler, made things easy for the secondary by stopping most of the ground plays at the line of scrimmage...
