...Notre Dame's famed "Four Horsemen," currently coach at Fordham. Of the "Seven Mules" who formed the 1924 Notre Dame line, one was Noble Kizer, currently coach at Purdue. Last Saturday, in the week's big game, Purdue's strength was a backfield whose average progress this season has been seven yards per play and two of whose members, John Drake and Cecil Isbell, according to Coach Kizer, were abler than any of the "Four Horsemen." Fordham's strength was a line nicknamed the "Seven Blocks of Granite," who had permitted their goal to be crossed...

But literary motorists will object most to its pace, and reflect that no nation of murderously fast drivers ever chugged along so safely...
There are many vulnerable points in the New Deal armor, but upon their discovery alone no election will hinge. Criticism must be welded into a coherent whole, of which an ideology of liberal progress is a definite part. Thus sections of the S. E. C. Act should be rendered more intelligible, but not discarded in toto. The principle of collective bargaining must receive fuller recognition and better mediation machinery found for industrial disputes.
