...Except for the first period in which the Crimson capitalized on the errors of the Terrier goalie to poke its four goals in the net the game was slow and uninteresting. Both teams played ragged on the offense during the last two periods and only an occasional milling about the net made the last 40 minutes exciting...
...Face. Except for Mr. Morrow, newcomers to the Senate will offer little help out of the leadership tangle. The newest Senate face-long, pointed, with fun-filled eyes-is that of Patrick Sullivan, born on St. Patrick's Day 64 years ago in County Cork, Ireland. Governor Emerson of Wyoming appointed him to the Warren vacancy. Since 1917 he has been Wyoming's Republican National Committeeman.

Points and excerpts from his primer...

These possibilities were neglected; Untamed becomes a routine, highly improbable love story built around the man Miss Crawford meets on the boat coming north. Except for a song in The Hollywood Revue, it is the first time her voice has been photographed. She sings with a deep, throaty twang; even her mutterings as Bingo, the jungle girl, do not spoil the effect of her natural vivacity and physical outlines. Silliest shot: fistfight between Bingo...
