...team will receive its initial trial under the heavy fire of the cadet guns, while Dartmouth will be weighed in the balance against Columbia. This latter game will bring face to face two of the great backs of eastern football. Hewitt, light blue ace, and Marsters, star Indian threat, will vie with each other for the afternoon's honors...
...merely a case of "growing pains" in industry, not many people would regard the situation as a menace to American economic life. It is the shadowy connection with the Communist organizations of Russia that alarms the average American, and he sees in the Marion and Gastonia riots a threat of the violence that may spread to every section of our industrial life. The very thought of red Russian influence in American industry is a bugbear to the normal business...
When domestic quarrels threaten acute physical violence, nervous householders send for a policeman to restore order. So, last week, did the Austrian Republic. Frightened by the imminent threat of civil war between Austria's two snarling private armies (the semi-Fascist Heimwehr, and the Socialist Schutzbund), the entire cabinet of Chancellor Ernst Streeruwitz, an ineffectual businessman, declared itself incapable of dealing with the situation, resigned in a body. Leaders of all political parties rushed to Vienna's police station, begged sleek white-bearded Police Chief Johann Schober to take over the reins of government...

Huguley too won his spurs in the 1928 season...
During the early season sessions in 1928, Coach Horween and his aides concentrated on straight running plays. This campaign, however, has brought to light the revival of an aerial attack. The lateral is once again an important Crimson scoring threat. It was made known yesterday that during the six scrimmages some 50 laterals have been tried, about 45 successfully completed. Even more encouraging is the fact that the Harvard eleven may boast of no mean ability in the forward passing game. J. W. Potter '30, 212-pound fullback, seems to be the main cog in the aerial machine...
