Following Hauptmann's 172 hours on the stand, Defense Counsel Edward J. Reilly began to set up the string of witnesses which, he had brashly promised, would clear his client. But as fast as he set them up, the State bowled them down. When Counsel Reilly's "50" witnesses turned out to be a bare dozen, he loudly cried "intimidation!" Prosecution officials replied that when they put their investigators on the trail of some characters scheduled to appear for Counsel Reilly, the would-be witnesses discreetly chose to "walk out" on the defense...
...International Division last week, the Toronto Maple Leafs were overwhelming favorites to keep their present No. 1 position. Fast, heavy, durable and daring, the Maple Leafs' two most spectacular assets are Forwards Harvey Jackson and Charles Conacher, who lead the League in scoring goals. In second place were the Montreal Maroons, a clever team whose crack defenseman is Charles Conacher's older brother, Lionel.

...Manhattan last week, a crowd of 16,000 went to see Venzke, Bonthron and Cunningham renew their rivalry, found that Venzke had learned the trick of sprinting at the finish, that Bonthron had lost it, that Cunningham was as fast as ever.

Bonthron, in his first start of the season, was third...

Expecting Thompson to try a difficult side shot for the goal, eight players turned sharply on their skates, churned up a white cloud of ice. But back spun the puck to Burke, who, almost as if he were practicing goal shots alone on the rink, sent it sliding past two defensemen, past Goalie Worters-and a red light flashed behind...
Making his first intercollegiate start in the 145-pound class is John Brassil, a fast and strong boxer who was undefeated as a Freshman last year. In the second bout in that class, Fred Taylor will fight and exhibition against Readell of Springfield. Another starter in intercollegiate competition is Bill Dennis, runner-up in the intramural championships two years ago, who draws a hard bout against Bradford, a winner against Coast Guard, in the 165-pound division...
