Urbane, acute, and full of the fresh flavor of the Italian Alps, Professor Passerin d'Entreves is a successful combination of continental spice and Oxonian starch. A lifelong student of political science and Italian history, d'Entreves has taken over the Spring semester of Government 106 from Prof. C. J. Friedrich, his close friend and colleague. To this position the Oxford mentor, student of A. D. Lindsay and A. J. Carlyle, brings many full years of varigated experience and academic distinction...

Staley Starch Products Co. of Decatur, Ill. decided to give up their team, Halas, who was the coach, bought the franchise and moved to Chicago. Now Halas was a triple threat: owner, coach and player all at once. Times were so tough he also doubled as trainer, ticket-seller and publicity man. Not until he signed the great Red Grange in 1925, was Halas...
