...undefeated California, last year's Rose Bowl winner, which had gained 1,920 yards from scrimmage and rolled up 173 points (to 31 for its opponents) in seven games (three outside the conference) this season. The other was Southern California, making a dramatic comeback (with four straight conference victories and One over Ohio State) after losing its opening game to Alabama...
Dyed-in-the-wool hockey fans, who succeeded in finding a few inches of hockey news in their morning papers the past week, discovered the following innovations for the coming season: 1) there are only seven clubs in the National Hockey League (the Montreal Maroons folded); 2) there are no longer two divisions in the league; 3) the team that wins the most games at season's end will be awarded the National Hockey League championship without more ado, but the "world championship" will be awarded as heretofore to the winner of the post-season Stanley Cup play-offs...

Of Thanks for Tomorrow: "Thanks for tomorrow...

Many of the stage effects are bold and startling; but where, in Julius Caesar last season, vivid technique heightened a throbbing story, in Danton's Death the technique mercilessly, luridly spotlights a pallid, waxen corpse...
