Interest will center around the Stubbs' sextet who will be attempting to stretch its victory string, started after a defeat at the Big Green's hands just a year ago, to sixteen straight wins. Betting odds still favor the Crimson pucksters, but the home team is given a better than fighting chance to reverse that decision because of their fine showing at the Boston Garden last months when Captain Ford saved the Harvard cause with two markers in the last period...
...less spacious chamber than the great "Hall of Columns"hitherto used (TIME, Aug. 31). In all the experience of Moscowite Walter Duranty he had never before seen the Soviet Supreme Court do business with other than red-cloth-covered tables but last week for the first time they were green-cloth-covered. As usual, the apple-cheeked Red Army soldiers with rifles and fixed bayonets mounting guard over the prisoners' box were changed every 30 minutes of the otherwise leisurely proceedings.

Last summer, at a cost of some $9,000, he acquired the world's biggest star camera, weighing more than two tons. It has a 61-in. lens, takes pictures...
...tender and delicious when cooked., and, at least to this prejudiced writer, quite as good as lobsters if not actually better. They average from five to eight inches long when market-sized. They are bright red in color, differing in this respect from the southern shrimps which are green, and generally live on muddy bottom in depths of 60 to 100 fathoms. That is not an easy place for small boats to reach with their limited gear. Fortunately the shrimps come into shallower water near the shore during the winter, where they can more conveniently be taken. Thus they will...
