...surprised to find that the master is digging in a small pile of manure when he meets him; he is more surprised when the master tells him that Susette, the maid, is his latest passion. Pendleton's dreams become nebulous. He is hurt when the master bluntly informs him that his novel is worthless, hurt because he realizes the master speaks the truth. Theodore Pratt's story is one of the few pieces in the anthology which will hold your interest and which shows no signs of padding...
...Canzoneri's flat, froglike face showed neither distress nor surprise. In the opening of the second round Canzoneri sent Chocolate reeling with a right to the temple. Chocolate, astonished, fought his way clear. A minute later Canzoneri doubled him over with a jab to the midriff, smashed a pile-driver right to his polished black jaw.

Kid Chocolate hung on the rones and sobbed miserably over his first knockout in 211 fights...
Columbia had been beaten only by Princeton when it faced Navy last week. It was to be the last important game of his college career for Cliff Montgomery, Columbia's captain, quarterback and current hero.

Again in the third period Montgomery made a touchdown and the game looked safe. In the last few minutes Ed Brominski batted a Navy pass into the arms of Navy's Borries. Borries dashed for Columbia...
...unimpressive 6-to-0 performance fortnight ago against Washington & Lee, Princeton-only Humpty of the six not yet even scored on-snapped back last week into its earlier whippet-tank style. Brown was butterfingered, Princeton on its toes, taking advantage of three fumbles and one blocked kick to pile up four touchdowns and driving 63 yd. without the help of breaks for another. As usual, one touchdown and a heavy share of the kicking, passing and line-plunging were credited to wiry halfback Garry le Van who weighs little more than 150 Ib. and whose elusive hips remind Princeton oldtimers...
...which depend for their very existence upon a preservation of the status quo. In the eyes of the World, France naturally is in a more favorable position as one of several nations opposing revision rather than as a single power refusing to be budged from the top of the pile. It is the necessarily stand-pat atmosphere at Geneva which this situation implies that has driven Germany from the League, and has reduced the League to a mere machine for the arbitration of second magnitude problems...
