...chief mourners at murdered King Alexander's funeral last week brought their own soldiers. The soldiers brought plenty of ammunition for their own rifles. It was that kind of a Balkan funeral, grand and grim. Perhaps never until last week had all Europe escorted to his tomb with so much pomp and precaution a monarch only four generations in descent from a swineherd...
...Holy Cross on Saturday. Yet, if any one stops to think about the way prospects looked at the beginning of the reason, there is cause for anything but complaint. When the squad reported to Casey and his staff on the opening day of practice, things really looked pretty grim.

Principal figures in that fantastic trial were Defendant Marinus van der Lubbe, a young Dutchman who seemed to be in a drugged stupor; Defendant George Dimitroff, a fiery, grim-lipped Bulgarian who mocked the proceedings, badgered the prosecution; gaudy, bull-necked Prussian Premier Hermann Wilhelm Göring, who, taunted by Dimitroff, flew into a trembling, sweating fury, shrieked: "I am not afraid of you, you rascal!
