Yesterday's practice session was the usual play-polishing affair, with the final check-up on those special Yale touchdown plays being attended to by the coaching staff. Bobby Green's condition is almost in top shape now, and he is expected to see a whole let of service, starting with the opening kickoff...
...exhibition of how sour a tricky attack can look when it is not working was put on in the Dartmouth game. The Green line just wouldn't be trapped and was strong enough to work a cup defense, charging in a few feet and then holding their ground. It was just under those circumstances that the deceptive end and off-tackle runs should have worked, but the Dartmouth flanks were also apparently pretty smart fellows and so the Crimson attack looked impotent...
...Allah Akbar . . . God is great. . . . The Imam droned prayers, snatches from the Koran in Arabic, sitting cross-legged near his pulpit in a long green robe and a green fez (signifying that he has made the pilgrimage to Mecca). Squatting on prayer rugs and matting, his congregation droned with him, sometimes leaning forward, touching their Korans with their foreheads.

...inaugurated a program of destroying coffee bought from growers with the proceeds of a $2.40 per bag export tax on coffee.* Familiar sights in Brazil ever since have been huge grey-green piles of coffee beans smouldering slowly away under great smoke plumes, barges lumbering out to sea to dump coffee overboard, workmen mixing coffee and tar into briquets for building. Since 1931 these activities have destroyed 52,547,493 bags of coffee (almost 7,000,000,000 lb.), worth at last week's price of 9⅛per lb. some $638,750,000, and sufficient to supply every...
