...scrimmage will be put on against Penn State plays. According to latest reports, the Nittany Lions played under wraps last Saturday when beaten by Waynesburg, and only put on three different plays in the whole first half. Whenever the Penn State players attempted any new shifts, the stands would roar, "Save it for Harvard...
...that the company was not affected by the deflation of 1921, a managerial feat mentioned in many a text book. Studebaker engineers point with pride to the adoption of free-wheeling in 1930, the first convertible top (1924), full power mufflers (which increase horse-power), 90% elimination of motor roar by a carburetor silencer, ball-bearing spring shackles, hydrostatic gas gauges.

Huddled against Voronsky's coming are the whites under the leadership of a drunken riverboat captain (Richard Dix). They stand off Voronsky with a machinegun, between intervals of comic relief by Zasu Pitts as a handkerchief-wringing tourist and Edward Everett Horton as a timid...
...stunned with disappointment. A bewildered murmur that rose to a roar swept the crowd. Here & there were a few boos. Then suddenly, starting from nowhere, they began to sing "America" until the night sky seemed to tremble with their resolute voices. Later in small groups they drifted back to their crazy shacks and shelters on the mudflats...
