Although Coach Hodder's lineup is probably only temporary, since rain has prevented any serious golf, or a comparison of the candidates during the past week, three veterans headed by Captain William E. Sibley, III '35 and three newcomers will compose the starting combination. Those to face the Green are Robert C. Hunter, Jr. '36, William E. Sibley, III '35, George E. Enos '37, Mansfield Branigan '36, David H. Sears '36, and Charles S. Bellows...
...that has been concocted out of the two wrecks, everything that can be done with the situation of two people stranded in a hick town has been done, effortlessly and good-humoredly, with excellent results as entertainment.

Small in comparison with Grangers like Burlington or North Western, it is strategically important as a connection between the Transcontinentals and Chicago. Its president is Patrick H. ("Pat") Joyce, who declared on taking office in 1930 that the "trouble [with the road] is too damn many men wearing the seats of their pants shiny." And under the hard-boiled Joyce management Great Western was one of the few U. S. roads to show a bigger profit in 1930 than...
