Both contenders this afternoon have broken even with their early-season opponents. The 1930 outfit has lost to Andover by 6 to 0, and defeated Exeter by 2 to 0; the Worcester schoolboys dropped the opening tilt to Dean Academy, 13 to 0, but struck their winning stride against the Brown Freshmen, whom they out-scored...
...Harvard team which has shown more early season offensive potentiality than any Crimson eleven of late years step into its stride today against a supposedly weaker combination and claim rank as a powerful scoring machine?

But the champion had been before...

At his death in 1902, he was succeeded by his elder and able daughter Bertha who in 1906 married Dr. Gustav von Bohlen und Halbach. At that time, Germany was just getting into her stride in the naval competition with Great Britain, and the demand for steel was enormous. Before the War, visitors to Essen stood aghast at the monstrous flame-belching foundries hastily proceeding with their grotesquely demoniacal output. And during the War Frau Bertha Krupp von Bohlen was undoubtedly the most potent female...
