...State university to study engineering. Though physically lazy, brawny Gene Vidal became a crack athlete, won letters in football, baseball, basketball, track. Entering West Point in 1916 he won still greater kudos. Coaches' fight talks bored him. Once, during time-out in the middle of a furious Army-Navy game, he shocked his teammates by calmly asking where the football dinner was to be held that night. But sport writers still remember how he used to streak down the field to catch Elmer Oliphant's forward passes; how he scored 27 of 30 points against Notre Dame...
Inner Mongolia was the bloody scene of a furious contest between Generals Tang Yulin and Liu Kwei-tang, reported in dispatches to have devastated the eastern part of the Province of Chahar. But was not this, after all, their "private war"? The Council of Generals took that view. Generalissimo Chiang had neatly solved, they felt, the larger issue presented when Mongol generals under Prince Teh Wang raised the standard of Inner Mongolia for Inner Mongolians (TIME, Oct. 23).

"Mademoiselle from Armentieres"; "gasless Sunday." when every patriot did his bit by parking his car in the garage for the day; the late Theodore Roosevelt's furious attempts to get permission from the Government to raise a division and take it to France: the exclusive cable announcing the "false armistice" sent by President Roy Howard of the United Press (TIME. Nov. 20); the tragic decline of Woodrow Wilson from world hero to ex-President...
Last week the Rangers and Maple Leafs met for their opener at Toronto. It was a fast, furious game in which oldtime grudges flared up in bumpings, trippings, crashing collisions and penal ties. The Rangers led 3-to-2 when Toronto's Hec Kilrea shot a high one which bounced off Ching Johnson's head into the net. In less than three minutes Toronto's Red Horner fired in the winning goal...
