...their mounts to the Ben Hur Livery Stables and the Ball was over, a small gentleman in evening clothes, Beaux-Arts' Board Chairman Ely Jacques Kahn, knew that the Beaux-Arts had made history this year. It was back on Broad way after a nostalgic period at the Waldorf-Astoria. For the first time an outsider had furnished the decorations, seven rayon companies having paid heavily for the privilege of advertising the ball as a Fete de Rayon Fantastique. And into the coffers of the Beaux-Arts Institute to educate young U. S. architects would go the proceeds from...
Said Northwestern's Coach Lynn Waldorf: "I'm just hoping the boys get past the Michigan game but get such a scare that they'll take Notre Dame seriously a week later." At Ann Arbor, the No. 1 football team of the country last week fulfilled its coach's hopes. In the second period, Fullback Steve Toth place-kicked a field goal from Michigan's 17-yd. line. After that an inspired Michigan team that had lost all but one of its previous games this season and shown nothing much in any of them, played...

Back in his office, Director Wilson, who was looking for a successor to Northwestern's Coach Dick Hanley, looked up the record of the bishop...
...decade ago, football coaches were famed for "systems." Currently, the ablest coaches are distinguished by lack of systems. Coach Waldorf's chief distinction among U. S. coaches is that his lack of system is the most systematic of all. It consists simply in inventing plays to suit his players instead of choosing players who can execute his plays. This year, Northwestern lacks a crack line plunger and good pass-receiving ends. Consequently, the Northwestern attack is built around plays designed to shake running backs clear on off-tackle thrusts, supplemented by short passes to receiving backs. Like many other...
