Perhaps a memory of the pond in the Stadium last fall, inspired the Blue coaches to hold a long practice on Wednesday, when the field was drenched by rain. Conditioning, signal drill, and fundamentals have been stressed so far. Dummy tackling, kicking, and a little practice in breaking through have completed the program. Regular scrimmage between tentative first and second teams is to begin next week...
...specks became planes, whirred over the Coghland, then over the McFarland, 115 miles westward; then the Charles Ausburn, 115 miles further; then the Lawrence, 126 miles beyond. At last Admiral Magruder on the Richmond sighted two specks and ordered his ship to belch black smoke as a guiding signal. As the planes flew overhead and down to the beflagged moorings in Ice Tickle, the Richmond's siren shrieked a welcome. On a cliff overlooking the mooring place was fixed a brass plate, made on the Richmond, already engraved: "American aviators completed world flight, Aug. 31, 1924." The trip...

...Signal Tower. Simple, straightforward roles, played without a flourish, directed by anyone with some feeling for proportion and suspense, make passable pictures. Run them off in a mountainous, shaggy, backwoods setting, make Wallace Beery the villain, Rockcliffe Fellowes the hero, Virginia Valli the heroine, and you may turn out the best deep-chested melodrama of the year. That is what Director Clarence Brown did, the story chosen being that of an honest, overalled signalman and his wife, whose hair-raising vicissitudes, domestic and vocational, are caused by a hulking railroad sheik. Punished once for snatching kisses, this sheik chooses...
