...General Motors Building buzzed with rumors. President Charles Erwin Wilson had been very busy-and very quiet. G.M.'s top brass, so the gossip went, was in for the biggest shake-up in years. This week the shaking started. The biggest shake of all was given Harlow H. ("Red") Curtice, 55, the slight, reserved general manager of the Buick Motor division. He was moved up to the newly created job of G.M. executive vice president in charge of all nonproduction activities except finance (labor relations, public relations, etc.) The promotion put him at the head of the line...
...greatest air epic of all time. Hughes spent $3,000,000 making it as a silent picture; before he had finished the "talkies" arrived. Hughes got a new heroine (the first one had a Swedish accent), reshot the talking sequences, poured in another million. The new heroine was Jean Harlow, prototypal "platinum blonde."

Boston's departure puts one more 1947 coach on an enemy staff for the 1948 season and emphasizes the main imponderable affecting Harvard chances for the fall.

Their knowledge of Crimson personnel will naturally be of aid and comfort to teams facing a new, unscouted Crimson system...
...Actually I don't think it's a problem to be seriously concerned about," is Valpey's feeling, however. While complicated in its own right, the imported Michigan defense puts more emphasis on rushing than on the loops and waltzes of the bygone Harlow days. "Personnel idiosyncrasies change under different systems," Valpey points out and adds that "men will be playing in different positions next fall." On offense, the Michigan system and last year's melange have little in common except in certain phases of line-blocking, which should further confuse the picture...
