...taking the larger lecture courses of History 1 and Government 1, which meet at 9 o'clock. In the second place, it ought to be possible to apportion the work among the student waiters according as they have or have not 9 o'clock classes. This might entail some extra bookkeeping as to hours work, but some sacrifices must be made if the plan is to be effected...
...extra-legal matters also, Lawyer Barringer is no match for his cinema confrère. His office is less shiny, his secretary (Una Merkel) less mature, his scout and handy man (Raymond Hatton) less sly. For pleasure, Lawyer Simon likes a trip to Europe, but Lawyer Barringer goes to Miami, frequents greyhound races.

When he showed them Sloan, McCoy explained: "I bet you never saw such a big dwarf in your life...
...twice. During the first half of last week's game at New York's Yankee Stadium Army made two touchdowns, thanks to Quarterback '"Beany" Johnson and Halfback "Texas Jack" Buckler. The outcome seemed so certain that nobody worried much when both Buckler's kicks for extra point failed. The break came in the final period after a march from midfield. Notre Dame's smiling Halfback Nick Lukats ripped through and around Army's line, did not stop until he had rammed over Army's goal. Quarterback Bonar kicked the extra point...
