...these arguments can satisfactorily answer the poser of that two and five-eights. The fact is that Harvard and Princeton have made a laudable effort to pierce the hypocritical cloak enveloping the gridiron openings. Yale has refused. The Elis will quietly continue their pre-season conditioners at Gales Ferry prior to the opening date they recognize...
Almost any original art invites and gets plenty of parody. But a poser for parodists is that rare kind of art which, while apparently too screwy to be endured, is too subtle to be burlesqued. In this class were two noteworthy exhibitions of paintings in Manhattan last week. Both were highly admired by artists and students familiar with modern art. Each provided exhilarating exercise for eyes trained on visual commonplaces. Because nine out of ten people want about as much exercise from painting as they want from a warm bath, neither artist was likely to become popular with...
...Love Again (Walter Wanger) puts a favorite poser of slick-paper fiction, viz., whether there is a spark in that old campus romance yet, these ten years later.

For the first eleven months of 1937 the B. & O.'s total operating revenue of $157,700,000 was $3,000,000more than for the same period of 1936. But its net railway operating income of $24,200,000 (before fixed charges) was $3,000,000 less. In the past month the depression has nipped revenues still further. Because of boom times in the spring the B. & O.'s 1937 carloading total was about 5% over 1936. But during...
