...California.* He artfully persuaded his players who did show up that their parents would probably be less irate if they won. However the Japanese, including two former college linemen named Ping Oda and Ichiyafu, outplayed them for three periods. Then the Chinese team pulled itself together. Leong blocked Sim Nambu's punt on Japan's 8-yd. line, and Charley Hing slashed to a touchdown. Another blocked kick and Hing went over again. With the score 13-to-12 against them, the Chinese tried for extra point by a forward pass, Gunn to Got. Bill Got gathered...

His sentimentality was sufficient to endear him to the radio masses...
...Wallace Gilbert (New York Evening Post) but his touch is lighter than that of Leroy Tudor Vernon (Chicago Daily News) or George Gould Lincoln (Washington Evening Star). Thoroughly experienced in national politics, he sometimes gives routine stories a special twist to lift them out of the obvious. Unlike his Sim colleague Frank Richardson Kent, he has no sharp sting in his pen. He specializes on complex railroad merger stories, leaves foreign affairs mostly to his smart assistant.
