Midwest. Ohio State's two games with Purdue this year have been the most exciting of the Big Ten season. In the first, an Ohio State player committed a foul which seemed to Purdue's wiry, black-haired Coach Ward ("Piggy") Lambert so dastardly that he rushed out on the floor to protest. Purdue got two free shots but Ohio State got one for Coach Lambert's indiscretion. Purdue's two throws tied the score; Ohio's broke the tie and won the game. Last week there was talk of "severing relations" between Purdue...

Although it can not be said that he completely fills the position that Beekman Pool held last year, it must be admitted that he is fast attaining the latter's ability and speed. At the first of the year his game was not too steady, and several times during the season it seemed as though he lost his grip temporarily. However, his game is now reliable, and he is in a position to do a piece of good work to finish his first...
...imperturbable Talleyrand stood at the right elbow of every government that held sway in Paris. Through the maze of diplomacy and intrigue he walked, smiling ironically, drinking deeply and often of the champagne of life. M. Bernard de Lacombe has seen fit to describe him as the "chess player," calmly watching the whole turmoil of unrestrained human ambitions, toying in his delicate fingers the reins of Kingdom, Republic, and Empire...
