...light, fast-stepping backs of the squad are having their days at Soldiers Field now and the question is: are they in there to stay? Peter has shone occasionally in the last few years when shadows filled the Stadium and he is improving fast. His passes look good, witness the connection to Dean on Monday. Whether he can beat out the veteran Wells is a moot question. Pesky has been sent back to the second-stringers in spite of a good show that he put on Friday. Fergie Locke is being tried in the blocking back position and seems...

Once when the Secretary was inspecting Quantico, which Butler took pride in believing was the "finest post in the U.

Last big row in which Butler was the central figure came in 1929, when he was arrested and ordered court-martialed for retailing an anecdote in which Mussolini figured as a hit-and-run driver...
