...League Sanctions Committee had been scheduled this week to add oil to the list of products denied Italy. Abruptly the British, who ostensibly had been driving for this end, joined the French in causing the League to "postpone" any such action. This about-face caught the Roosevelt Administration a neat clip, transferred much Italian resentment from London and Paris to Washington. There II Duce's representatives said with upped eyebrows that the White House seemed to be "outsanctioning the sanctionists," all of whom at latest reports were still selling oil to Italy...

The Press, always charmed by the slick little politician whose neat phrases helped them in making a living, was represented by a turn-out of reporters surpassed only by that given Charles Lindbergh and Edward of Wales. And, inexplicably, John J. Dunnigan, leader of the Democratic majority in the State Senate, calmly holding his political life in his hands, climbed aboard...
...second half there was a slow start but the Dartmouth booters finally got the ball down to the mouth of the Harvard goal on a penalty shot where it was kicked around for a few seconds before Ward of Dartmouth got ahold of it and sunk it with a neat placement...
