...Judge Joseph Frederick Rutherford, president, the International Bible Students' Association, boomed from Toronto last week to pass out from 53 separate radio broadcasting stations. The "hookup" was the widest in radio history and was the result of a goading which Judge Rutherford several weeks ago drove at President Merlin Hall Aylesworth of National Broadcasting...

Coach Knute Rockne, Merlin of football, shuffled his big squad like a pack of cards, sent in quarterback, fullback, halfback?eveyone, in fact, but the hunchback of Notre Dame. Even wizards cannot have a great team every year, and against an Army eleven that looked very much like a great team, his strategy could accomplish little. Score: Army 27; Notre Dame...
