...news has yet been received from my venerable sire in China, whom false, malicious rumor has reported still fleeing before the Japanese invasion. But knowing his disciples' voracious eagerness for his veracious analyses of gridiron contests, I ventured to substitute myself in the great man's place and predict for tomorrow major clashes: Dartmouth 7 Stanford 0 Yale 20 Princeton 3 Notre Dame 19 Army...
...Texas much ability as I have to predict today's game. No bull, it's going to be hard to steer a straight course. If you ox a longhorn who will win he will say, "Texas Guinan win." But I'll tell him, "Huey you to say such things" I decree that Harvard will win by a score of 20 to 7.

In the other group trifling temblors occur every 21 minutes and every 429 days; more or less violent ones every 11, 19, 22 and 33 years. To predict the approximate time & place of recurrence requires no great mathematical skill, especially if the seismologist has up-to-the-minute reports of the earthy quaverings going on all the time. To forecast the exact day and region as Cabinet-Maker Bendandi did last week, does, however, require a bold imagination...
