S. again to dicker debts with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Last week the debt policy of Scot MacDonald, who has never pretended to have a head for figures, was announced for him by his Chancellor of the Exchequer, arch-Conservative Neville Chamberlain...

Brown's chief weapon this year was an unusual "triple wingback" offense, designed by Coach De Ormond ("Tuss") McLaughry to flank both tackles and one end. Colgate, coached by Andy Kerr, a wiry, witty little Scot who was Glenn Warner's predecessor at Stanford (and who, many experts think, teaches Warner football better than Wizard Warner), has an amazingly complicated attack, based not on power but on a multiplicity of spinners, reverses, lateral passes. Colgate's most noticeable linemen are Captain Bob ("Kewpie") Smith...
