...smooth yellow oval, spun lazily across the continent, it shone down on another meteor, one Friedman, who played for Michigan against Wisconsin. Now Meteor Friedman, in turn, thinking of flashing, dazzling "Red" Grange who had torn through his team the week before, had determined that he himself would flash, dazzle. Wherefore, he scored one touchdown himself and threw passes that made possible the two more. The score: Michigan 21, Wisconsin...
...Thomas?a debonair six-foot shape in blue serge, with crisp yachting cap tilted to starboard?waved his hand. Chatting with pressmen, he stroked his goatee?a preposterous tuft no bigger than a barnacle?responded wittily to their sallies, screwing up his eyes when the sun shone against his face?a very brown face, drawn taut with the whip of sea-salt. "What good is the Cup to America when you have nothing to put in it?" asked he. "I understand the only thing you have left to put in it would burn the bottom...
...lion of pure-food crusades, onetime chief U. S. Government Chemist, sat down to dinner. The occasion was his 80th birthday; his hosts were the members of the Agricultural Chemists' Association, of which he is the Honorary President.

He ran through a broken field like a thoroughbred through a bog, supported always by superb interference. (The week previous Grange played against Butler College for 16 minutes, scored 12 points...
Houston Richards featured "Young America" and his "can't-stop-me-kid attitude." He was out-shone, however, by Herbert Heyes, who, as Draper Sr., really put the play across. He enjoyed the part; and he interpreted the character so well that he made the audience enjoy it. Lucille Adams was the twentieth century English girl. Olive Blakekeny and Anna Layng also merited the hearty commendation of the audience. Every member of the cast, indeed, contributed a part toward the success of the satire. Hector and his orchestra attracted the usual "early audience," and their entreacte selections were particularly enjoyable...
