...week saw three comedies open on Broadway, all of them bad. Aries Is Rising (by Caroline North & Earl Blackwell) featured a lady astrologer, suggested that the producers themselves were guided by astrology in putting it on. Ring Two (by Gladys Hurlbut), George Abbott's third production of the season, was penny amusing and pound silly.

Then they licked a CCC team at Camp Goldendale. Wash. Last fortnight, having topped off their five-game season with a six-touchdown victory, they became, to the consternation of President Keezer and every self-respecting alumnus, one of the few unbeaten, untied college football teams...
Last year's Yardling squad was below average, and as a result Coach Hodder will have to rely on inexperienced upperclassmen this season. General skating ability, however, is good, and the team has distinct possibilities for the future. A rink available for daily practice will pay dividends in developing hockey players...
