...exhibit (85 out of 109 under 30 inches high). If the Guild's outdoor exhibition was meant to show Sculpture for the Garden, this was apparently meant to show Sculpture for the Home. Sculptor William Zorach's Youth won a great deal of admiration for its clean-cut and subtle modeling; Robert Cronbach's well-constructed little group Industry, and Warren Wheelock's exuberant figure of Walt Whitman, Salut an Monde (see cut), showed a new ease with planes and masses. Both made art critics wish for their enlargement to a less inti mate scale...

In addition, he hopes to remove the bad spots from the civil service and to provide reasonable old-age compensation. These intentions do not paint an administrator vibrant with reform zeal, but they do show one who will refrain from reckless promises...
...Franklin Field, before 60,000 spectators, young George Munger's young Penn team, fighting desperately to regain the prestige it lost when Princeton smudged its clean slate fortnight ago, staged a thrilling one-point victory over Columbia, 14-10-13. Halfback Sid Luckman, who gained 177 yards for Columbia with his forward passes, lost the game when one of his kicks for extra point went wide...
