Meanwhile Mr. Huston clung stubbornly to his chairmanship. His friends implored him to resign for the party's good, which he vehemently refused to do. He kept far away from the White House, perhaps lest President Hoover see him, demand his resignation. In the Senate, Democrats primed their fowling pieces to blaze away at Mr. Huston when Muscle Shoals legislation, on which he had lobbied, came up there this week...

It attempts, at least, to solve the haloed Beethoven enigma, paints him as man rather than Titan...
...running again when he picked up his own rebound and sent it past Ellis when Putnam, skating leisurely around, failed to check. This shot added the necessary spark to the battle and from then on until the end the game was replete with thrills and spills. Harvard clung tenaciously to its slim lead fighting to hold back the sallies of Hunt, Chase, and Hilliard...
