...dull and unequal contest, the Crimson bowed to the Indians, 11 to 0. Dartmouth's Turner, the starting right tackle, scored both of the Big Green's touchdowns out of the "tackle-back" formation. Vaughn kicked the goal after Turner's first tally, and that was all the point-making either team could manage. The unusual final score can be laid to the fact that touchdowns were then worth five points. Judged by the standards of the Crimson teams of the early 1900's, the 1903 squad was only fair. Before the Dartmouth encounter, the Crimson had dropped...
Died. Elliott White Springs, 63, fun-loving textile magnate, author and World War I flying ace; of cancer of the pancreas ; in Manhattan. After bagging twelve German planes and winding up the war as the U.S.'s fourth-ranking ace (after Eddie Rickenbacker, Frank Luke and George Vaughn), Springs could not cotton to settling down at work in the family cotton mills in South Carolina. He flitted off to Paris, ground out a bestselling Warbirds tale of his flying exploits, plus ten other books and many magazine articles. He came back to the mills in 1928, eventually earned about...
Miss Stein's earliest known writings were written in 1894-5 when she was taking English 22 under William Vaughn Moody. Rosalind S. Miller, in Gertrude Stein: Form and Intelligibility, described those early themes as "introspective," as more significant than the hackneyed conventional themes which ruin the eye and enfeeble the mind of the college English teachers."

It is interesting to note professional comments on the sides of the pages; such praise an "interesting...
...move in a single, sweeping motion. He cocks his single-action pistol as he draws it from the holster, fires as soon as it gets into position, sometimes, alas, even sooner. In a recent match with Dillon's men, the Colorado Gunslingers Association's President Earl Vaughn, a Colorado Springs air-conditioning engineer, managed to shoot his right calf full of paraffin. Says Dillon, who has been guilty of the same sin himself: "The oldtimers must have cocked as they drew, too. 'Course, I never heard of any of them shooting themselves in the calf...
...farm on the main Louisville road, which Turner had leased and subleased, came in flowing thick black oil-and the boom was on. Farmer Ellis Hood, 45, who barely scratched out $2,400 a year from his 85 hilly acres, now rakes in $325 a day; ex-Marine Early Vaughn Dulworth, 36, who paid $200 for a part interest in the Beam lease, now gets back $2,000 a month (his mother's farm in the main oil area has an estimated $1,300,000 of untapped oil); a hamburger-stand operator who leased the stand...
