...which he predicts seemed very near and real a short seven months ago. His vision has the greater authenticity in that it contains little that is incredible and nothing that is, to us, inconceivable. In short, the work is a serious attempt, unmarred by riotous imaginings, to show, in rough outline, the endings of our present paths and the new and better ways which mankind may tread, provided only that mankind has the intelligence, the will, and the courage. As a book showing a possible transition from this immediate world to a conceivable Utopia, the work is no mean effort...

It now rests on a base made in 1928 from the timbers of Miss America I, with which Gar Wood returned the trophy...

Three facts have come to light in the scrimmages so far: first, Coach Eddie Casey has at his disposal a much larger group of prospective first-string men this year than in 1932; secondly, the entire squad is noticeably rough in assignment work, and, thirdly, this year more than any other the success of the season will depend on the set of plays developed by Casey and his assistants...
