...months of his inauguration. As part of Farm Relief, the Senate wanted an export debenture. Bold and self-confident, President Hoover scotched this subsidy plan, won much public applause. He, said his friends, would show the Senate who was master. Nevertheless, that first victory cost President Hoover the friendship and support of Senator Borah and the Insurgents. A breach in the G. O. P. was then opened that gapes wider than ever today...
...Vienna whither he had gone, he had announced, to get himself denicotinized. He was warily emerging from Vienna's opera house (Pagliacci). On his arm was a proud dancing girl, a blonde, called "Baroness" Francisco von Janko, who later explained: "The King has forbidden me to talk about our friendship.

Harvard and Princeton men of today have the long-anticipated opportunity to meet again in sporting contests on a dual basis...
...Harvard and Princeton athletic breach cannot be permanent, for in the long run the old friendship of the universities, in spite of temporary cleavage, draws them together. The undergraduates at Cambridge and Princeton with fine spirit have taken the lead in asking that the traditional rivalry in sports be resumed as soon as possible. The difference in policies regarding football schedules is still an obstacle; the programs already arranged make a Princeton-Harvard football game before 1936 improbable. But in the other sports the colleges are not at cross purposes. Meetings in these can take place without great delay...
