...brown-haired, sweet-faced, sunny-tempered little girl whose name was Grace Goodhue, and she lived not many years ago in Burlington, Vt., on the shore of lovely Lake Champlain. Her name is now Mrs. Calvin Coolidge and she lives in the White House in Washington. Most of us when our span of life is run are found to have been very much the same from year to year, and those who have known her all her life say that Grace Coolidge is very like Grace Goodhue, even very much like wee Grace Goodhue, who rode in her tall springy...
Colorado. William E. Sweet, Democrat, v. Charles W. Waterman, Republican. Onetime (1923-24) Governor Sweet is a radical with a millionaire background, and hence is viewed with alarm by stolid Coloradoans. Mr. Waterman's chief distinction is that he conquered Senator Rice W. Means (backed by the Klan and well-dressed Senator Phipps) in the primaries.

Totally different from the Red Grange business in that a milk route has been substituted for ice, it nevertheless squeezes out the same delighted gasps when agile Richard slides over the goal line on his handsome hip. For a long while things look black for Alma Mater Colton. False charges of professionalism ban the star back for the game. Even when, proved innocent, he plays again in the third quarter, it is of no avail-till...
...efficiency of their play suffered a let-down against Bates last week, while Yale as topping Dartmouth from her three-year throne, and was not conceded a chance against the Blue. But with an irresistible rush the Bears swept the astonished Blue team off its feet, and sent Corn-sweet over with the winning touchdown four minutes after the opening whistle. Not content with the one score, the Providence eleven continued its aggressive tactics, and while unable to tally again, kept the Elis so much on the run as to render them unable to launch a decisive counter attack...
