Attempts probably will be made during the week to develop a bucking back to assist Goldthwaite, who to date has held the position by himself, but no conspicuous stand-out is in line. Both Camp and Durwood are possibilities, but neither shows the bucking skill demonstrated by the lighter ex-Milton player...
Buick has added two new series to its four stand-by straight-eights, claims 70 new mechanical achievements. It is lower, bolder-curved. Down in price from $17 to $281, it sells for $895 to $2,199 (lowest price range in company's history). Standard on some models are front & rear safety direction signals...
...things, the money behind Chicago's smelly Stock Yard and the Board Chairman of Armour & Co.

Of course, there will be difference of opinion; of course, a definite commitment will alienate portions of the League. But real unanimity is impossible; and attempts to cover disagreement under the mantle of generality amount to self-deception...
