...jobs. His perspicacity in switching from the Republican to the Democratic trough in 1932 also has contributed materially to his emergence as Pennsylvania's Public Contractor No. 1.

To Pennsylvanians therefore it seemed phenomenally unnatural that Mr. Wilson should have been able to daub Mr. Earle along with Little Matt and to make some of the mud stick on both.

The team could have had more practice indoors at Cambridge. Even the lacrosse team, which played its games through mud and rain, spent money which could better be used for some under-coached or ill-equipped minor sport.
