...permitted myself to recall a proverb which I begged them not to mention lest it should create a slight coolness be- tween the Chancellor of the Exchequer and myself. But, as I have mentioned it to him today, I may perhaps repeat it to the House. I said to those with whom I talked: 'We have an English proverb: Why bark yourself when you keep...
...offense plunged, pounded, plowed. Illinois sank back to third in the Conference standing. Score: Minne- sota 20, Illinois 7. Who writes this "stuff" for you? If this is a specimen of his sport news, better eliminate all of it. The phrases used are entirely unjustifiable. I want to repeat that my subscription to TIME is canceled. C. J. RATZLAFF.

Losses from graduation and ineligibility have been heavy, and if Yale plays up to form the visitors will do well to hold the Blue to three touchdowns. Yale has, to be sure, failed to show much of a scoring offense so far, but the power is there, and the season is reaching the stage where the latent power should begin to show. As a dress-rehearsal for the Princeton game a week hence, today's encounter will hardly be satisfactory unless the Blue eleven rolls up a substantial margin...
