Although crushing Tufts, Stevens Tech, and M. I. T., the Stahleymen were utterly disrupted by the offensive tactic shown by Dartmouth. The expert passing and stick-handling of the Green players were too much for the defence, which was considerably weakened by the shifting of aggressive Norm Blotner from first defense to a midfield position. As a result of the Tuft and the Dartmouth matches, two of Skip Stanley's most reliable attack men, Sophomore Dong Anderson and Captain Phil Hammond, are on the sick list, and until they return, the team's scoring abilities are dangerously reduced...

Few days before United Press announced Kleber in command on the Huesca front, assorted Leftist dispatches, while omitting to say who was actually in command, described a General Cahue as "killed," said his successor, Hungarian Communist General Matei Jalka Lukacs, "died when a shell hit his moving car," reported the Huesca command had passed to an "Italian radical," Adriano Nathan, then described him as dead with a bullet through his head...

To these challenges the proletariat rose as 20,000 enlisted to fight as Red Militiamen-in a day and crowds kept milling around the Spanish Lenin's office...
...suppressed the Asturian miners' own attempt at a Marxian uprising, and they were out to get Colonel Aranda even though in so doing they imperiled the lives of their own families in the city he was defending. With the siege at its hottest, the Colonel abandoned the usual tactic of trying to defend a central stronghold, distributed the forces of the Revolution in various parts of the city and dared the Asturian miners to come on. On came the miners, chiefly armed with homemade dynamite bombs. On cheap cigars clenched in their teeth, they lighted the fuses of their...
