That's the main problem facing Harvard's ex-Big League Coach Injuries, however, have provided more troubles. Craig Woodruff, the wise-cracking short stop, will be out of the game because of a back injury. Johny Fitzpatrick will take his place at short. The other recent causality, Cather Dick Maguire, who suffered a split finger in the Tufts game on Saturday, is expected to be on deck this afternoon. He is one of the better laddies that have squatted behind a Harvard plate and his pegs to second would be severely missed...
...proud pleasures were Postmaster General Farley's last week. One morning he drove to his office on Pennsylvania Avenue near 12th Street. Instead of stopping as usual at the old Post Office Department Building, that blackened square of granite with cone-capped towers, one of the finest examples of Benjamin Harrison architecture in Washington, his car kept on across 12th Street and came to a stop before a new building with classic white marble columns. "General" Farley was moving into the new $8,500,000 home of his Department. A fair home it was, not so ostentatious...
...drachmas ($5,700,-000) is a lot of money to Greeks.

Most writers stop writing long before they reach Knut Hamsun's age (73). But readers who feel nervous about an old man's maunderings need not hesitate to pick up Author Hamsun's latest and perhaps last book. Though The Road Leads On will not unduly excite a world which still remembers his monumental Growth of the Soil (1917), it would be a worthy and happy ending to a great career. Author Hamsun may lay down his pen in the consciousness that he has not overstayed either his welcome or his powers...
Some foreigners saw a grim humor in the President's implication that debtors must stop extravagant expenditures for armaments if they want consideration from the U. S. The President drafted his message before he left Washington, turned it over to the State Department for expert combing. It was forwarded to him at his Manhattan home where he signed it immediately after his return from reviewing a U. S. fleet on which he is spending more money than any other U. S. President in peacetime...
