Right down the middle went the third, Hester. She married and divorced Ellery C. Huntington Jr., All-America (Colgate) football star and Wall Street lawyer, married and divorced Sculptor Oscar Fulton Davisson Jr. Among such liberal minds as inhabited conservative New Canaan, Conn., Hester was in the forefront. Still within the pale, still listed in the Social Register, Hester was not Red, but a delicate pinko...
...tons as against 210,021 tons admitted by Britain. At the same time Germany declared that only three U-boats had been sunk. Britain and France each replied with a report of another U-boat sunk, bringing the number claimed by them to more than 20 or nearly one-third of the known Nazi undersea fleet.

At the end of the first half, Yale had made only one first down; just before the end of the third quarter, they crossed midfield for the first time; and, although they managed to sneak in an airway touchdown in the last few minutes of the game, their 27-to-7 drubbing was practically a knockout. All afternoon the husky Yales had gained only 35 yards from scrimmage...
