...Wahoo wahoos" from one end of the field marked the spot where a Jayvee eleven was putting on the Dartmouth plays for Varsity inspection. Working from a single wingback formation, the Indians usually go on the warpath with a solid phalanx of blockers blazing the trail, and the coaches are busy devising strategy to keep MacLeod from breaking loose and at the same time not leave the secondary open to the best aerial attack Dartmouth has had since the advent of Coach Blaik. This is really quite a problem, but it is comforting to know that Blaik...

But this was man-bites-dog. John Nance Garner was going fishing in Texas, off for an indefinite vacation of two to six weeks...
...Junta, modeled on Italy's Fascist Grand Council, to help him rule Spain's Rightist territories and eventually "to supplant the Madrid-Valencia Government." All political parties were outlawed by General Franco except the one under his command, which received this impressive title: The Spanish Phalanx of Traditionalists and Offensive National Syndicalist Juntas...
