...first crimson flush of victory after the Dartmouth game, rosy visions of undisputed third place were floating about the New Indoor Athletic Building, but they have since vanished into nothingness. Defeats by Princeton and Columbia have dropped the Feslermen to undisputed sixth place. The crucial game with Princeton, whose loss put the Crimson boys on the skids, was dropped largely due to the absence of the invaluable Mr. White from his position at right forward, due to a charleyhorse...

...Flush with a $37,500,000 PWA loan, the Port of New York Authority is hard at work on a second vehicular tube to New Jersey, the Midtown Hudson Tunnel at 39th Street. Eased into place by tugs last week was a bright red. hollow cube of steel as big as an eight-roomed house. After riveters build its steel walls higher, diggers working under compressed air in the lower chamber of the caisson will excavate enough mud to permit the base to settle down 100 ft. below water level. From that point they will dig sideways toward New Jersey...
