...ferocious block by Fullback Felix ("Doc") Blanchard* helped Quarterback Doug ("Hard Luck") Kenna sweep right end for the opening touchdown. It was Army's first touchdown against Notre Dame in five years, and it stimulated the killer instinct in the Cadets' cheering section. "Get more ... get more," they chanted, and the West Pointers poured it on. Halfback Glenn Davis, with All-America stamped all over him, carried the ball eight times for 83 yards, scored three touchdowns.

Occasionally, Bathhouse John rides to the track on the front seat of his limousine because the back seat is filled with feed for his horses, to which he gives such names as Sub-Committee, Honored Sir, Official. Why they win so few races is a mystery to Chicago sports writers, who have blamed everything from...
...years ago Police Lieutenant John W. Kenna was placed in charge of about 1,000 policemen in the midtown section of Manhattan, called "The Tenderloin," which abounds in speakeasies and vice resorts. His salary for the period amounted to $20,000. He and his mother, however, have banked during the six years a total...
