TIME based the assertion that famed Explorer Stefansson is "of Danish stock" upon the fact that his forebears, who came from Iceland, were indisputably of Danish nationality.

...Batchelder '31, and J. W. Potter '30. The possibility of Coach Horween's using these two sets of backs interchangeably seems to be strong. Such systems have been tried and often found successful, as for example in Yale's championship 1922 aggregation which employed as a rule one set of backs for each half.

For the sake of a dying gypsy-queen he defied a time-honored rule of the Derby. He also bullied a Catholic priest into burying a Chinese-his brother...
