...Miller '27, the heaviest back on the field, he showed in the Holy Cross game that he has added finesse to his strength, speed, weight, and courage...
...Navy crew, though the favorite in today's race, is not the heaviest of the competing crews. The Cornell eight is the rangiest and heaviest of all the crews. Cornell is out to correct the impression it made last year, when the stroke taught by Dr. Lueder seemed extremely ineffective and the Big Red eight was left far behind. At that time the Cornell crew was rowing, as advertised, in the old Courtney style; but the trouble was that the "old Courtney style" was the form taught by the famous Cornell mentor of years past before he had found...

...Italy's debt to them at 580 million pounds ($2,818,800,000) ; and considering that Britain is paying a total of $92,310,000 a year to the U. S., with nothing definitely in sight from France, Mr. Churchill undoubtedly felt impelled to mete out the heaviest practicable terms to Italy. Count Volpi, on the other hand, could point to the fact that the U. S. Debt Commissioners have granted proportionately much easier terms to Italy (TIME, Nov. 23) than those which they have thus far demanded from France.
