...Coach (Warner). The problems that confront Coach Gore (Pat O'Brien) in this picture-an attempt to buy real estate and sell it to Calvert College for a new stadium; the interest Mrs. Gore (Ann Dvorak) shows in a ringer halfback; the resentment of Calvert's best player (Dick Powell) when he gets passing marks he does not deserve -are far more interesting than the locker-room orations and kindergarten campus antics with which Hollywood usually pays its respects to football every autumn. The picture fits less into the category of a juvenile sporting print than into...
Robert Grant, Huntington Hartford, and Sandy Davenport, all Seniors, will beyond doubt fill the top three berths, as they did last year. Grant is the present state champion; Hartford, a brilliant but somewhat temperamental player; and Davenport, one of the steadiest players under Harry Cowles' tutelage. It is likely that positions four and five on the A team will be strongly contested for by Sophomores G. G. Glidden, and E. R. Sargent, both of whom did unusually well on their Freshman team...

Unable to pierce Army's line, Illinois cut loose with 18 forward passes, completed twelve of them for gains of 159 yd., only to be stopped short of scoring. An Army field goal was erroneously disallowed because the player holding the ball let both knees touch the ground...
...hunt was on in New York last week for the kind of chair Beethoven used when he played the piano. It had to have short, strong legs to suit a heavy, stumpy little man like Beethoven, a comfortable back so that the player could sit relaxed and let his shoulder muscles work for him. Nowhere in New York was such a chair to be found. Pianists like Rachmaninoff and Iturbi who depend mostly on their wrists use stools without backs. Paderewski and Hofmann who play more from their shoulders use chairs with backs which tip forward a little. None...
Scoring in the first, third, and fourth periods, the Harvard Freshman soccer team defeated Worcester Academy, 4-2, Saturday afternoon, on the Business School field. Allan Darling '37, playing in the center forward position, was the outstanding player of the game; his passing was well-timed, and his shots at the goal netted three of his team's points. One of these tallies, coming in the fourth period, was the result of a penalty kick, the other two were scored in the opening period. Worcester fallied twice in the second period...
