Unfortunately, Walter neglected to tell the Lil' Pea Greens that for 11 out of the past 12 seasons, winning has not been a part of that great tradition. Last season's 14-12 mark was the first winning record the Governor and his friends have seen in the past dozen at Hanover...
...with the injuries incurred from the first three blood baths it's got to the point that if anyone gets hurt today Naviaux can forget about Temple and Colgate, the Terriers won't even be able to handle a bowl of warmed-over Lil Friskies.

...concentrated on the direct sexual themes of Dietrich in Shanghai Express, Garbo in Queen Christina, and Mae West in She Done Him Wrong. The last film does, of course, touch on the economics of Miss West and her jewels-this is the film version of her stage success Diamond Lil. And for that matter, there is some doubt about the "seriousness" of Shanghai Express, especially with such lines as that of Warner Oland's (playing the Oriental bandit-chieftain): "The white woman stays with...
