Reapportionment. Twice since 1920 had the House passed legislation to reapportion itself and twice had the Senate failed to act. The Senate's passage of this reapportionment measure was the first in 18 years. The Senate bill largely copied the House bill of the last session (TIME...
...Senator Vandenberg went the public credit of insistently driving this measure through a reluctant Senate. It was his first major activity since coming to the Senate a year ago.

The portsider also pitched two innings against the Purple last Saturday, during which time no Holy Cross man completed the circuit. MacHale probably will be held in the relief role. The sorrel-topped righthander has improved steadily...
