...always be heard, and in fair weather can be seen, in time to aim the guns. The one large question mark remaining is accuracy, with which the Army was not primarily concerned last week. Pursuit plane defense is not so soundly organized. Bomber speeds of 250 m.p.h. so nearly equal (and in some types exceed) pursuit speeds that defending planes can no longer count on overtaking offensive squadrons. Hence, to be of use, pursuit must be in the air and ready to fight when bombers arrive at a given point. To be there, pursuit must have warning of the approach...
Last week the No. 1 rivalry of the Midwest became the No. 1 football interest of millions of U.S. fans. Minnesota, in its seventh year under Coach Bernie Bierman, boasted a team equal to the famed 1934 and 1935 outfits that earned the unofficial title of U.S. champion. Michigan, under its new coach, Fritz Crisler (recently lured from Princeton), displayed an unexpected renaissance after losing 22 of its 32 games in the past four years...
...associated with Cubism, and the common notion about Cubists is that they work in their peculiar manner because they are unable to do otherwise. In this drawing, however, there is not a trace of Cubism. Quite to the contrary, it shows a draftsman who, in technical skill, is almost equal to the great artists of the Italian Renaissance. Picasso's use of line has form and solidarity which can hardly be excelled, and his handling of many different bodily positions is expert in the highest degree...
...coming Joe Gardella (who should see plenty of action especially to bolster the backfield defense) will try to keep the spinning offense at the kind of past when they were ripping through the Army line. This Dartmouth team is no world-beater on defense. Harvard will count on an equal-weighted but superior starting forward wall, backed up by Cliff Wilson and Tim Russell, to stop the Green attack, and then will attempt to turn on the offensive steam. Each opponent has scored 20 points against the Harlowmen; today they will go out to score more than 20 of their...
...Handy and Duke Ellington, have long taken top honors in their field, have long been street-corner names in the U. S. Practically unknown to the U. S. man in the street is the music of their highbrow Negro brethren. Known or not, however, much of it is equal to the best that is being written by U. S. white composers. Most prominent among such Negro composers are Los Angeles' sober-minded William Grant Still (Afro-American Symphony), Tuskegee, Ala.'s William Levi Dawson (Negro Folk Symphony), and Greensboro, N.C.'s Robert Nathaniel Dett, long famed...
