...Simonds appears to be in better form than ever this fall, and should prove, with Pratt and R. W. Turner '28, veteran center, a source of steady strength to the University team. He is one of that rangy type of lineman which has to a great extent replaced the slow, massive guards and centers of former days and which in a still more open and speedy game, such as the new rules promise before the season is over, should be increasingly valuable.

Citizens of the U. S. have been made aware of this problem through statements released by U. S. experts at the now defunct Naval Limitations Parley (see p. 10), and therefore the Navy Department was able to arouse unusual interest last week by announcing new plans...
...Power of Darkness. The Moscow Art Theatre actors portray in cinema based on Tolstoi's drama the slow writhing of Russian peasants in the shackles of ignorance under the bludgeoning of Fate. Whether drunk, sober, at home in their hovels, or on the icy road to Siberia, the characters always convey the tragedy of aspiration groping under a clod...
