...seductive military attache. Since all state treaties are in the hands of men who are in turn in the hands of their wives, it is the attache's business to handle the wives. Such, at least, is the idea that forms this comedy which probably would seem all right in French, though it was originally written in German (by Rudolph Lothar and Fritz Gottwald), but sounds too broad in English.

Whether the coaches want to develop two nearly equal backfields as they did last year, and will for this reason keep French out of the first combination after he is fully recovered, is a question that...
...Western college supporters, especially the Big Ten, seem to be "on the par" as far as Eastern papers are concerned merely because the Big Ten graduates in the East are planning to get-together and cheer Purdue when the Crimson of Harvard gets into action on the same field as the Old Gold and Black of "that small college located somewhere in Indiana...
