...Admired by many an editor, but inaccessible because he draws only for the New York Times, is adroit Cartoonist Edwin Marcus. Only on Sundays does the fatherly Times condescend to publish "features." Cartoonist Marcus regularly does portraits for the theatrical section and cartoons on leading topics in season.

His most famed compositions were made during the War?"The Road to Yesterday" (War dragging Europe back to Barbarism) and "Damn the torpedoes?go ahead" (quoting Admiral Farragut at Mobile Bay). His "pals" are Cartoonist Cliff Sterrett...

We are still the best of friends...
...gigantic lineman named Bronko Nagurski outran his team mates in a race. Observing this, Dr. Spears, Minnesota's coach, summoned the rapid hulk and took him out of the line. Dr. Spears was looking for a successor to famed Herb Joesting who pushed his backfield bravely along last season. He regarded Bronko Nagurski as a potential fullback and, having noticed his celerity, he suggested, immediately, this position to the enormous player. So powerfully did Nagurski function in fullback capacity that a nickname ("The Big Nag") was found for him and he became the first of the autumn heroes...
