...pass receiver par excellence and colourful end whose fame for 1929 is secure because he grabbed two of Barry Wood's aerials out of the dusk in the contests against the Cadets and the Gators. He is a ranking scholar athlete and intends to complete his college course in three years...
...comparison. Merely to point out that Yale has in Booth one of the best drop-kickers in the country this season, and that Harvard has at least two who compare very favorably even with him.

They are "Rio Rita," "The Hollywood Revue" and "The Cocoanuts," but in each case there has been an explanation that prevents destruction of the aforementioned theory. "Rio Rita" is frankly a photograph of a famous Ziegfeld success and it has proved popular for the reason that it provides at small cost an opportunity for the general populace to see the work of a nationally publicized showman. "The Hollywood Revue" could hardly fail since almost...
