...Ambers was on the floor. Without any semblance of an ultimatum. Invader Jenkins began his Blitzkrieg with a sneak-punch right to the chin. In the second round, just to prove that he had a two-armed attack, the challenger bombed the champion again with a left to the jaw. In the third, it was all over. Finishing him off like a miniature Joe Louis, Jenkins blasted the crown off Ambers' whirling head. It was the first time in his eight-year career that Ambers had been knocked...
Last week Mr. Roosevelt suddenly looked up from World War II. For the first time in many months, he was concerned enough to be angry about a domestic matter. His jaw jutted up & out. His voice rang with its old, terrible certainty that he was right and a great many other people were wrong.

He said that he was being frightfully polite when he called some of his opponents "well-intentioned people." Cold fire...
...Tillet is the victim (or, as a wrestler, the beneficiary) of pituitary overdevelopment, resulting in acromegaly-enlargement of the face and jaws. The Harvardmen X-rayed his head, found the sella turcica, which houses the pituitary, considerably enlarged.

Then there was the Red Book picture with that particularly and characteristically harried Freshman look about it. And finally there was the wishfully comic picture in which he was perched on the famous Yale fence immortalized by Professor Hooton's ape pictures. Obviously, there was no solution of the problem to be found here. Finally...
...around wrinkling your cortexes over weighty problems for the good of posterity. Well, at this school (Texas State College for Women, largest girl's school on this globe) the eyelash curler rules and we, all go around fluttering flirtatious furbelows at susceptible Profs. I hear you men all have jaw-breaking vocabularies. Well, we can polish the old apple to perfection--so maybe that makes us even. On the whole, I'll wager Harvard brushes its teeth just about as TSCW does...
