...Wednesday, the Crimson eleven played an informal game with Northeastern Freshmen, and were held 7-7. The first half ended 7-0 in favor of the Jayvees. While on what seemed to be a touchdown march in the third period, Northeastern intercepted a lateral pass for an 80-yard gain, and pushed over the goal in the next few plays...
...hire almost all their seamen on the cheaper Atlantic. Deep-sea Pacific shippers still were obliged to consider all maritime unions. With this schism in sight, Harry Bridges would have preferred delaying strike action. But the Maritime Federation he had so carefully built up proved his Frankenstein. Standing to gain nothing by a compromise between coastwise shippers and Pacific longshoremen, the other unions in the Federation demanded a strike.

...Milwaukee. Central plumped for trimotored Stinsons, Pennsylvania for twin-motored Boeings. The battle involved rate cuts, protests to the Post Office and the I. C. C.

Dare we hope that we will remain as free of these...
...second half, Bill Watt's work at full may well gain him the starting call in the remaining games. He picked the holes carefully and hit with terrific force to gain first downs on at least two occasions. And of course the Oakes to Stuart passing combination clicked in the fourth quarter to the extent of over 30 years for the all-important second touchdown...
