...count. The interception of two first year passes, both potential scores, by F. S. Grant '30 and George Crawford ocC. was of importance in stemming the 1932 attack and in producing the University scores. The first touchdown followed Grant's interception of a Freshman aerial thrust, when a series of off-tackle slants by G. L. Graves '31 and Grant carried the ball to the Freshman 22-yard stripe. T. F. Mason '30 then swept around left end for the touchdown. Captain A. E. French '29 went into the play, scoring the extra point from placement...
...effect of the warnings from Philadelphia could be guessed and fought. What could not have been guessed was a 300-word statement from John Jacob Raskob, which came like a knife-thrust in the market's back.

In a spirit of cooperation, the new decorator therefore scraps everything old (the pyramids excepted), and matches modern life with "simple rhythmic combinations of masses," and sharp color contrasts, rather than...
...second in a speakeasy in Chicago, the third at the Mexican border. Charlie O'Connor, Chicago racketeer, induced chaste Cora Chase to go with him to the Mexican-U.S. line, there to smuggle contraband Chinese into the states. Into the picture another racketeer, "The Colorado Special," thrust himself, looked gaga at Cora, she at him. He joined O'Connor in the alien-running scheme. What he turned out to be after all only faintly interested slim audiences, their tympanic membranes offended by too-frequent gunfire. One James Hagan wrote the play, showed only that he knows crook...
