...Army Ordnance Association's* ninth display at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md., the biggest U. S. demonstration of destructive devices since the War. Bombs dropped and banged. Tanks lurched and rumbled. Field artillery galloped and crackled. Machine guns chattered. Smoke screens fumed. The courteous Signal Corps advised through loudspeakers: "We advise our guests to place their fingers in their ears," but only a few heard, having rammed in ear wadding before the 16-inch chaos was followed by two more convulsions, one from an 8-inch Navy rifle, one from a 12-inch howitzer...

Only the Farnsworth Room may be said to be adequately occupied...
...lightest and fastest elevens seen in Cambridge in recent years ran through a snappy signal drill on the Stadium turf late yesterday afternoon. This team which will represent Purdue against the University this afternoon at 3 o'clock will go into today's game outweighed by almost 14 pounds to the man. What they lack in weight the Westerners will attempt to make up in speed and accurate handling of the ball. Few plays, according to information gathered in the Boilermaker's camp yesterday afternoon, are likely to be directed at the Crimson guards this afternoon. Off tackle slants...
