...chronicle of a distinguish life. . . Henry F. Pringle makes "The Life and Times of William Howard Taft" a far more appealing and interesting book than one's impressions of the Taft administration would make one suspect. . . . Boris Souvarine's "Stalin" is less a biography than an attack on the man who, in the author's opinion, has sold out the ideals of the Russian Revolution...

Schoenberg and Redmon may either take turns at the reducing task or perhaps a definitely superior combination of the two may be established...
...pound group lacks a single outstanding man, but there the competition for the first team is probably the keenest of all. In fact, it may not be settled definitely all year. Veteran Pete Illman has a slight edge over Bill Tyng and Harry Tine, a Junior and Sophomore respectively, but he will have to be on his toes to keep it. The close scrap for top honors here will probably bring about lots of improvement in the division all year long. Competition of this sort, as is provided by many men in other classes who are not quite good enough...
