...Island. Friends thought it was good, except that Calvin Coolidge never held his head as imperiously as that (see col. 2), and it makes him a lot younger, firmer-fleshed, cleaner cut, than he really looks. That, however, may be what a good portrait should do. Furthermore, as the late John Singer Sargent once said: "A portrait is a picture in which something-is-wrong-with-the-eyes...
...Bugs" Moran, the proprietor of the garage, was not among the dead. He was spending St. Valentine's Day in Detroit. Moran inherited the North Side mob from "Schemer" Drucci, who inherited it from "Hymie" Weiss, who inherited it from the late great Dion O'Bannion. The perforated bodies were those of Moran's brother-in-law and co-leader, James Clark; No. 1 Gunman Peter Gusenberg, Con-Man John Snyder, Gorilla Al Weinshank, John May, the man in overalls, and Reinhart Schwimmer. Frank Gusenberg, Pete's "Kid" brother, carrying 20 bullets, lived for three hours...

...winning 16 points. The University team is expected to gain six much-needed points in the broad jump and shot put to carry it through to victory, but its chances are slim at the best. French should take second place, but here again he may be handicapped by his late start in training. Last year he won the event with a leap of 22 feet 1 1-4 inches, but this year Dartmouth has Canby, the favorite, who is capable of a 23-foot jump. Donner of the Green has also leapt well over 22 feet. Becker of Cornell must...
