...supported by any facts, the extraordinary measure of severing our heretofore amicable relations with Yale, even in this single sport, might be treated with suspicion as well as concern. No shred of evidence, however, has been found to support the novel contention that the National Collegiate Athletic Association rules provide for, or even allow, a meet to be decided upon a basis of the total points scored by the judges; on the contrary, the N.C.A.A. Rules Committee, when asked for an official opinion, stated that no such rule exists and that by unanimous vote, the Committee gave Harvard the decision...
...Representative Bertrand Hollis ("Bert") Snell, 65. In the 20 years since he entered the House, that heavy-bodied, hard-boiled Old Guardsman, who made his fortune in the cheese business, has held doggedly to his belief in High Tariffs, the Gold Standard and the Republican Right-to-Rule. In the 1920's he was, with the late Nicholas Longworth and Connecticut's John Q. Tilson, one of the House's Big Three. As minority floor leader since 1931, he has kept up a steady fight against the New Deal and all its works. Yet he plays national...
Chicago's mammoth public school system hires 13,000 teachers, educates 460,000 pupils at a yearly cost of $71,000,000. Few U. S. educators, however, feel any strong urge to rule it.

His successor, William Joseph Bogan (1928-36), spent most of his term in the morass of teachers' "payless paydays." Last week Chicago's Board of Education, looking...
...Mayor Kelly and Boss Patrick A. Nash gloomed with Candidate Bundesen. In the Hotel Congress, Governor Horner beamed amiably, plumped his chubby hand into those of well-wishers. As expected, Bundesen had piled up a big lead over Horner in Cook County. But, as a whacking rebuke to the rule of Bosses Kelly and Nash, downstate counties turned in a lead of 310,000 for Horner, insured him the nomination by 150,000 votes. Asked if he would now support Horner in November, Mayor Kelly snarled: "How the hell should I know...
Viceroy Linlithgow may fulfill these duties either by creating a genuinely self-ruling British India or by perpetuating British rule by force. In the latter case, the new Constitution provides such increased outlets for Indian discontent as provincial cabinets and provincial legislatures elected by 14% of the native adult population. Viceroy Linlithgow retains such absolute powers as the right to overrule single-handed his own executive council and to veto laws passed by the Indian Legislature if he chooses to think they "affect the safety or tranquillity of British India...
