...miles across country to Tampa, Fla. to act as peacemaker in Labor's biggest internal struggle of the generation. At Tampa this week the A. F. of L. holds its annual convention, and the old leaders, heirs of the late Samuel Gompers, headed by President William Green, were preparing finally to expel the insurgent new "industrial" unions headed by John L. Lewis and a corps of aggressive young associates. Since the Federation's Executive Council suspended ten unions of the Committee for Industrial Organization (TIME, Sept. 14 et ante), that momentous move had been hanging fire...
...chief C. I. O. unions boycotted the Tampa meeting and as William Green was about to depart from Washington, Mr. Lewis gave him a parting kick in the pants. He summoned him as a member of the United Mine Workers to answer charges in Washington this week of 1) conspiring to oust the U. M. W. from the A.

We don't Fearon, and we'll make them look like stiff, cold Oakes in Winter. The Duck Pond is frozen over and there is no New Haven for Allen players to rest in. Watt do you say on score? I asked Pope last Spring and he said Hessberg in Italy could not aFord to bet. Take some Staples out of Huey...
Both teams thus far have displayed complementary weaknesses defensively. Ever since Dubiel's ineligibility, Harvard has had to face a definite end problem. In recent games, Bob Green and Don Daughters have been turning in admirable performances, and have been ably supported by Gibby Winter and Win Jameson. This improvement, under the tutelage of Wes Fesler, has been swift and continuous, but none-the-less, the majority of ground gained on Harvard this fall has been around the flanks. Few plays have gathered much momentum through the center trio of Gaffney, Jones and Kessler. And anywhere from left to right...
