...game he had chosen to see turned out to be the longest (2 hr. 49 min.) and one of the most spectacular in World Series history. When it was over, 18-to-4 for the Yankees, the Giants had used five pitchers. Every Yankee including Pitcher Lefty Gomez had made at least one hit and one run. Baseball statisticians had compiled an even dozen new records. It was the biggest score and the worst beating in World Series history. Most brilliant individual performance was that of Second Baseman Tony Lazzeri. He duplicated a feat accomplished only once before...

This broadcast was a midriff laugh to all Spanish officers who know...
...backfield, as may the running of Phil Brooks. "Chief" Boston and Clif Wilson, both Sophomores, the latter captaining his Freshman team, are waging one of the closest battles of the squad for honors at blocking back. Although Wilson has generally played with the A eleven, Boston has done some spectacular defensive work and is a strong bidder for the position. Tom Bilodeau must also be reckoned with, although out of the picture for the last few practices due to a slight injury...
