...Last week two bold moves were made on the Van Sweringen board. Master Atterbury made the first when he captured a valuable pawn, the Pittsburgh and West Virginia. His Pennroad Corp. bought for $50.000,000 from Frank E. and Charles E. Taplin the controlling interest in the road. The loss of this key road is a setback to the Van Sweringen merger plans, which does not displease the Brothers Taplin, arch-enemies of the Brothers Van Sweringen. The sale also means that the Taplins have given up their aspirations for a Great Lakes-Atlantic seaboard system. Two days later...
Last week the damage suit of another onetime employe against the company was about to reach trial. Mrs. Ethelwynne Metz of Newark claimed $200,000 personal damages. Her husband wanted $50,000 for loss of her services. Moreover, Mrs. Metz's doctor, Ames Lawrence Filiponne of Newark, last week stated that Edward Metz, 6, born after Mrs. Metz had worked for U. S.

No matter what professional field the college man may enter, the subjects studied outside of this field present a background upon...
...large gathering is expected, as Coach Gallagher has gained considerable reputation, not only as a wrestler, but also in track and football. Although the team will be handicapped by the loss of Captain Joseph Lifrak '29, the return of J. F. Solano '30, former Freshman star, after a year's absence should be an important factor in the progress of the team. Another loss which will be severely felt is that of Crispin Cooke '32, lightweight star of last year's Freshman team. He will be prevented from wrestling this season because of an injury...
