...swift dashes into harbors, hit-&-run jabs into enemy fleets. Their four torpedoes give them half the striking power of some of the newer 1,500-ton destroyers, yet they are manned by a crew of only nine, including one officer. For crews they need men who have the make-up of good pursuit pilots, men who do their jobs precisely but can snap their fingers at care...
...close of the season and to wait until late in the following season for an election; to have the coach appoint various individuals to set in that capacity during the early games and then, a week or perhaps two weeks prior to the Yale game, when the final make-up of the starting team is decided--strictly upon football merit and expediency--to have the players elect the man they then wish to honor and to have represent them

To girls with buck teeth and freckles, to elderly ladies with grizzled hair, to buxom young things with fat red cheeks and curves too voluminous, he points out cosmetic errors, boldly proposes new hairdos, new foundations. Sample Willis ukase: "Using a rose-tan powder foundation cream will do a blending job. But it won't hide freckles. In order to hide your freckles we'd have to make you as dark as an Indian and all the sparkle would be gone...
