...entire squad, with the exception of Hugely, reported in sound physical condition. O'Connell was back at his right end post, and it seems quite definite that he and Douglas will start Saturday at the wings. There were no other lineup changes; the backfield combination of Wood, Putnam, Devens and Harper, which made its debut against Florida, was working together again. A short but snappy signal drill concluded the afternoon's practice...
...alumnus of Bowdoin College, he did post graduate work at Harvard, and started to teach. In 1908, however, he joined Commander Peary's Arctic expedition, and since then has devoted most of his time, with the exception of a few years, to explorative expeditions, including the MacMillan Expedition to Baffin Land, the National Geographic Society and Field Museum Expedition to the Arctic, and the Rawson-MacMillan Field Museum Expedition to South Greenland...

All the blue chips of the late bull market were hammered and sliced-the better the stock, the bigger the break. On this day A. T. & T. fell 24 points...
Editor Crowell had been faithful to his post. Man and boy, writer and editor, he had labored for the American since he was 27. He is now 40. The War, temporarily interrupting his journalistic orbit, took him as a second lieutenant, left him a major. Carroty-haired down-Easter (from North Newport, Me.), no dilettante, no pedant, he admired teamwork, organization bankers...
