Princeton rubbed Yale's nose in the dirt harder than it had ever done since they began playing in 1873-27-to-2. Alone among all Humpty Dumpties of the season, Princeton remained unshaken by so much as a tie. Starting slowly, as usual, Princeton found itself about to kick from its own 20-yd. line. As Halfback "Chick" Kaufman dropped back to punt, Yale's Tackle John Milcullen rushed through, blocked the kick. The ball rolled beyond the end zone, giving Yale a safety and its only score of the day. Thereafter Princeton settled down...
...pathway, explained Dr. Flexner. is the one by which the sensation of smell reaches the brain. Exposed in the mucous membrane of the nose lie the hairlike end-processes of the olfactory nerve cells. Up these nerves, which are relatively isolated from the blood and lymph, the attacking virus passes direct to the brain's olfactory lobe, thence proceeds to invade more distant parts of the brain and spinal cord. The invaders, injuring motor nerve cells, produce muscular paralysis. The damage done, some of the virus returns the way it came, goes out from the nose...
...cinemas like Farewell to Arms, White Sister, gives to Mary little but these same brave, little girl accents. When she is on the stage in the last scene with Helen Menken, scrawny and harsh-voiced as Elizabeth, she is just a Hollywood actress. Philip Merivale has the height, the nose and the leanness for Bothwell, the only true man in Scotland, plays his part with praiseworthy capability...
Lamed Horses, Troubles on the Federal front also helped to send leading liquor shares into a deep, dark nose-dive on the New York Stock Exchange last week. First hint had come when a virtual embargo was clamped on liquor imports. It was learned that President Roosevelt had listened sympathetically to a Brain Trust idea of forming a government corporation to handle the entire wholesale liquor business. When the distillers submitted a code of fair competition, they saw it thrown in the wastebasket. Last week they were asked to accept a code, drawn by a special Roosevelt committee, which imposed...
...teach their players 'dirty football' so that they would know how to combat it when an opponent resorted to slugging and kicking. It was a case of self-protection, and, if you failed to protect yourself, you would be incapacitated in a surprisingly short time. I had my nose broken in the first game of every season, and it wasn't because of an accident either. I played half one season with three broken ribs and finished up another year with a fractured shoulder. Cutts, our great halfback, got a broken neck a short time before the Yale game...
