...alumnus of the University of North Carolina, seeing the reference in your July 29 issue to North Carolina's Governor O. Max Gardner, wrote me about setting you straight. The point in error was that Max Gardner played football at State College. You were right; he did. But the alumnus is also right; Governor Max also played football at the University. Your error, then, was one of omission...
...bottom $1. Cuban imports would still benefit by a 20% differential. When sugar was exactly at $6 per 100 lb. the tariff would be $2.20, the present duty, with Cuba paying $1.76.

Captain Iglehart tied the score on a free shot just before the final gong. In the extra period he smacked another one through. The Midwests, able individualists though they were, could make no headway at all against the Old Aiken system of feeding, riding...
...great career, at least, ended appropriately. Borotra took a set before the Tilden placements began to find their marks. Then Borotra had to leap indeed, to race backwards, forwards and sideways.
