...private corridor leading from a White House side door to the President's office. In that office sat a man whom the Supreme Court had stunned to silence with its annihilation of NRA. Down that corridor marched huffy Hugh S. Johnson who for a twelvemonth was NRA personified; sickish Donald Richberg and sheepish Solicitor General Reed whose defense of NRA before the Supreme Court had proved so footling; William Green and John L. Lewis to whom NRA was a professional gift from heaven; dapper Averell Harriman who manned NRA after its first champions had departed; gawky Attorney General Cummings...

...were not thoroughly done? Those Michigan boys are too excited to care. Many ate, tearing at the flesh, gulping it with oversweet coffee. At the game the Illinois and Michigan elevens lined up. Whistle. Plop! The kickoff. In ten minutes "Red" Grange made four touchdowns. The Michigan spectators felt sickish. More kickoffs. Touchdowns for this team, for that. Loud and long the cheers. Here and there someone on the Michigan stands grimaced. His stomach griped him. Pork is a heavy thing to eat, burdensome when one has to yell like thunder. Finally the game ended.
