International Military Jumping was first introduced into the National in 1909. Since then it has become the No. 1 event of the show. Last week cavalry officers from seven nations were entered in the jumping events. For the first international event on the program, for which competition lasted three nights, riders were judged on form after a succession of difficult individual and group jumps. In first place after the first night's performance were the French (Captain François Durand and Lieutenant Amador de Busnel), with 19 faults to 23 each for Chile, Great Britain...
...that church, some 75 mi. north of the U. S. border, one day last week 1,000 friendly, happy people crowded to see Lydia Gruchy in a white dress and academic gown standing alone opposite seven male United Churchmen. She advanced to the altar, knelt while President John L. Nichol of the Saskatchewan Conference laid his hands upon her head and said: "Take thou authority to preach the Word of God and to minister the sacraments."

Of the "Seven Mules" who formed the 1924 Notre Dame line, one was Noble Kizer, currently coach at Purdue. Last Saturday, in the week's big game, Purdue's strength was a backfield whose average progress this season has been seven yards per play and two of whose members, John Drake and Cecil Isbell, according to Coach Kizer, were abler than any of the "Four Horsemen." Fordham's strength...
...Fordham's "Seven Blocks" the most impressive are a Polish Block and an Italian Block. The Italian is 5-ft. 8-in., 200-lb. Edmund Franco, left tackle, whom Coach Crowley calls the best college lineman he has ever seen. The Pole is 5-ft. 11-in., 190-lb. Center Alexander Franklin Wojciechowicz (pronounced Woe-gee-hoe-wits), whose hobbies are cooking and helping his mother crochet rag rugs. Last week Fordham's Franco, Wojciechowicz & colleagues blocked so efficiently that Purdue's Isbell, Drake & colleagues gained only 54 yards rushing all afternoon, one-third as many...
