...diplomatic diplomats allow the White House to make the first announcement of their resignation. That Mr. Dawes spoke out boldly for himself set up a thunder of political speculation in Washington and Illinois. Had the individualistic Ambassador sprung a surprise on Mr. Hoover? The White House insisted it was fully informed in advance. Was Mr. Dawes escaping political exile at Geneva to contest the Republican nomination with the President next June? "Damn nonsense!" snapped the Ambassador when he reached Chicago. "I'm coming home to take care of my business like every good American should." Despite the fact that...
...Army-Yale game two years ago, a spry little Yale sophomore with a crooked nose, slightly bowed legs and a crest of stubborn dark hair stole the thunder of Army's famed Christian Cagle, made all three touchdowns that won for Yale (TIME, Nov. 4, 1929). This year, still Yale's greatest back, small Albert J. ("Albie") Booth is also Yale's captain. Although he has seldom been injured, and never seriously, he spends a good part of the time sitting on the bench, wearing an oversized woolen hood which makes him look like a gnome, while Yale's other...

It was enough to know that the gods were angry, that Beethoven was dying. He raised himself on his elbow and, in the glare of a spray of lightning, shook his first...
...Championship was a shade more than friendly. The Santa Paula Team, which won the Pacific Coast Open in 1930, arrived first, played at Chicago and Detroit this summer. The Anglo-Argentine Hurlingham team got to Westbury, N. Y. just in time to steal some of Santa Paula's thunder. If they played brilliantly in the Open, their accomplishments might have affected the enthusiasm with which U. S. buyers would bid for the spare-limbed, light-footed, cattle-trained ponies Santa Paula had brought with them to sell. Talk about an International series in case an Argentine team...
