Paradox though it may be, Harvard looked a good 50 per cent better while taking a 19-0 defeat from Princeton than it did a week ago during that tragic 10-0 whitewashing handed out by hard-driving Dartmouth. A week ago the situation looked hopeless; now there is some light ahead for the approaching Army game...
Instead of 300,000 registrants, Commissioner Knox found last week that he had on his hands 520,000. Under the plebiscite program, less than two weeks remained in which League supervisors could attempt to check the lists and weed out perhaps 200,000 frauds.

He proposed to go to a man with an idle dress factory, for example, rent his plant for tax-receivable paper for three years, retaining the executives at their old salaries. Unemployed would be put to work making dresses for other unemployed, who would in turn be set to work as soon as possible in other factories...
