...Figures cut from a fashion magazine pasted on canvas, geometric background: "Street In Montevidco", Norah Borges... By Lurcat, reinder horns growing out of earth tall as trees; a leaf large as a mountain, "Paysage Romantique"... One steer's head, one girl's head, a railroad track, one prairie, in oil and framed, "Paysage Andalou," by Jose Moreno Villa... And it was with profound regret that the Vagabond saw his friend's portrait, Edwin Arlington Robinson, taken down and replaced with a portrait which resembles the Vagabond's hag-in all respect dear women-and simply called, "Head of Woman...
...game against Yale, Brickley kicked five goals from the field for 15 points, which is some record. The bubbear of the Hinkey lateral passing attack, with Lagore and Wilson as great threats caused a lot of midnight oil to be burned by the Harvard coaches in 1914. But by dint of scouting and devising a trick defense which worked well in its experimental phase against Princeton, Haughton surmounted that obstacle by a 36-0 score against the Elis...

In passing, Author Sullivan demolishes a few legends. Boss Boise Penrose, he reveals...
...bottom. A great number of soundings with the old-fashioned line & sinker, more recently with the echo sounder, have disclosed that contour to oceanographers. Dr. Field wanted to know what lay beneath that bottom. I occurred to him to use the "artificial" earthquake method by which oil prospectors map subterranean rock structures. This involves setting off charges of dynamite, measuring the time required for the earth ripples to reach a seismograph planted some distance away, studying the wavy lines on the seismograph record (TIME. Nov. 4). This set-up is called a geophone. Transplanting it to the sea floor...
