Accompanied by two detectives and a score of newsmen, a plumpish priest in Roman collar and rabat bustled through Manhattan's Grand Central Terminal one afternoon last week. More police were waiting near the platform gate. Two nights before, Rev. Charles Edward Coughlin. radiorator, had whipped a prodigious Hippodrome crowd up into a red-hot frenzy of approval for President Roosevelt's monetary program. He had also stepped on some very important Catholic toes. Now, still parrying newshawks' questions, he swung aboard his train just as it pulled out, settled down for the journey back to Detroit...
Although the life of most athletic associations now depends on gate receipts, universities like Yale and Harvard cannot sensibly continue to believe that this will always be the case. The addition of paying games and the consequent lengthening of the season are at best artificial stimulants. It will take far stronger measures than these to cure athletic finances. Although Harvard's position is hardly more secure than Yale's in this respect, the H.A.A. has rightly judged that the potential evils of renewed over-emphasis are far greater than the benefits of increased gate-receipts...
Trouble with the mortar between the bricks found in the Business School Buildings has also been discovered in the Houses and on the stone facings of the gates about Dunster House.

...Last year, Fordham beat Oregon State 8-to-6. Last week's was the same kind of game, tight, almost flawless defensive football, with both teams sparring for breaks. The crowd of 40,000-one of the largest of a season which has brought Fordham $350,000 in gate receipts-thought the scoring was finished for the first half when, with a minute or so left to play, Oregon State's drive stopped at Fordham's 36-yd. line. On fourth down, Schwammel dropped back for a place kick. The ball sailed through...
Five months ago two French aviators named Gate and Constant-Bree, flying around the west African coast, vanished in a storm over Portuguese Guinea. After several weeks without word of the men, Pilot Gate's wife went in search of them, insisted on accompanying a detail of Portuguese soldiers into the wilderness of the Cacheo River. Last week the Senegal correspondent of the Paris Petit Journal reported that Mme Gate & party had returned to the coast, not with her husband but with horrid information gleaned from natives. Pilots Gate & Constant-Bree had crashed in the river region. There black...
