...rays were no help. By week's end the Dancer's troubles were still a mystery. Until luck outran him last week, the Dancer had never looked better. Last year's stone bruises were healed; the big, bony ankles were strong enough to satisfy both the veterinarians and the two-dollar bettors. Now even the Dancer's next start was doubtful. As for Vanderbilt's hope of entering him in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at England's Ascot, the odds were clearly against...
Three dailies were sold, and three folded as expenses far outran income. Last year at the annual I.T.U. convention, over Randolph's objections, the membership voted to limit borrowing for the papers from the union's pension and mortuary funds to $1,000,000 (it had already borrowed an estimated $2.5 million).

On the night of the great feast, Abu Zed publicly labeled his son: "You pig, you frog, you hyena, you almost-Egyptian...
...went out on the home team 34, the varsity, despite an offside penalty, moved across in seven plays. Culver smashed through the line three times, Clasby hit Lewis with a short pass, and then Lewis took the ball from Clasby, cut through the short side, knocked down one defender, outran two others, and carried one over with him after 22 yards of sheer determination. A holding penalty set the Crimson back to the 17, from where Ross just missed the point...
