Like home towns, native States wait to see how their wandering boys turn out before they boom their claims to parenthood. Early U. S. frontiersmen, born in the Original 13 States, were doubtful characters. Even those who made good generally had to bury their crudities a long time in the grave before the genteel seaboard was ready to honor itself by claiming them as native sons. Few have waited so long as great Sam Houston...
...carry the ball. More than half of the blame rests on the line's slowness and lack of power in charging and the guard's equal slowness in running interference. Even Jack Buckler of the Army wouldn't have been a world-beater last Saturday if his frontiersmen hadn't been opening huge holes in the Harvard defense...

S. soldiers finally join in a pitched gun-battle between poisonous redskins and a pair of frontiersmen. At the conclusion of this affray, one soldier may be seen waving a victorious U. S. flag over the smoke-swathed battleground from a papier mache rock. To the enduring credit of the cast and its producers, who intend to present a series of hardy old-time melodramas, The Round...
