Actress Helen Hayes, wife of Playwright Charles MacArthur, lately withdrew from the play Coquette, then on the road, saying: "I am going to have a baby" (TIME, Sept. 16). Producer Jed Harris ordered the play closed without notice. Five members of the cast at once demanded extra salary, said that Mr. Harris had violated the rules of Actors' Equity Association...
Anthracite. Economic professors, wanting to give an example of the havoc substitutes can play to a nicely adjusted supply and demand situation, always point to the anthracite industry. Gas, oil, bituminous (soft) coal, and Welsh anthracite have proven sturdy competitors to U. S. anthracite. Perhaps to find strength in union, the Glen Alden Coal Co. (W. W. Inglis, president) last week announced plans to purchase the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal Co. (Charles F. Huber, president). Two of the oldest and largest of anthracite companies, their combined annual production will be over 13,000,000 tons, greatest of any unit...
...past few seasons the opening game has found Harvard using three or four straight line plays, but, judging from all reports, the story will be different this afternoon.

Every play in the team's repertory will most probably be employed against the invaders from Maine and Harvard rooters will be given an opportunity to judge to some degree whether their optimism is well-grounded...
Along with Mr. Bingham's policy of "athletics for all" has gone an attempt to increase the emphasis on having the men play for the inherent pleasure in playing a game well and make the desire to win not a paramount consideration in Harvard athletics. This idea has been applied especially in choosing coaches, notably in lacrosse and soccer, where young graduates have supplanted middle aged experts. Surely this policy could be furthered considerably in football "giving the game back to the players" as it often has been expressed...
...problem is chiefly, confined to baseball and football. In the case of baseball there is, so far as I am aware, no legitimate ground on which can be defended, in the interest of the game itself, the practice of permitting the coaches to direct the play. In the case of football the problem is a little more difficult, because there is involved the question of withdrawing men who have been more or less injured in play and the substitution of others for them. This situation is thought, with a good deal of justice, to call at times for judgment more...
