...makes opponents love him in spite of honest differences. Chunky and spike-haired, he prides himself on speaking his mind anywhere about anything. When he gets on the subject of "invisible government" his thin, sarcastic voice grows shrill with rage. But he is a good teacher. Two years ago Pitt seniors voted him their most popular professor. If anyone still doubted that he was a good teacher, Ralph Edmund Turner could and did refer him last week to no less an authority than John Gabbert Bowman, who few years ago publicly called him "one of the ten best professors...

...inevitable because German unity is not yet attained, and because the status quo to which France is committed will not permit its attainment.

Writing for the newspapers, Notre Dame's Coach "Hunk" Anderson pre dicted the winners of 14 games last week, including Pittsburgh to beat Notre Dame. Coach Anderson erred in only one choice, but it was not Pittsburgh. Pitt struck two fast, staggering blows in the second period: a 78-yd. run to touchdown by Halfback Sebastian, and a crushing march through the line for another. Twice in the second half Notre Dame fought to Pitt's 8-yd. line, lacked the punch to change the score...
