Line coach Denny Meyer boasts of a fast 186 pound forward wall, heavier than the Bear's opponents. Much interest has been shown in George Larkowich a newly converted left tackle. He is a 6 foot 3 inch, 197 pound aggressive ball player, capable of breaking-up many of the Harvard off-tackle spinners. To the right of him is Spencer Manrodt, a short, stocky guard who thrives when the going is tough. Protecting the end is Prodgers, a pass receiver par excellence. At center is Tom Carey. Carey was seen last year in the Harvard Stadium as a back...
...Deal, N. J., the 38-room summer home of 77-year-old William Crapo Durant ("Godfather of the Motor Car Industry," "Gunga Din of Wall St.") was put up for auction with its furnishings. A Kermanshah rug appraised at $6,000 went for $750, a $6,500 tapestry for $275, the $500,000 house itself...
...Buccaneers begins in Saratoga in the 1870s, where Mrs. St. George and her husband are watching over their two handsome daughters. Because Colonel St. George, a shady Wall Street speculator, needs the financial assistance of a still shadier Mr. Clossons, Mrs. St. George agrees to entertain Mrs. Clossons. This brings their girls into friendship with the Clossons' wild daughter, and gets ambitious Mrs. St. George in wrong with the Manhattan dowagers...
...best parts of The Buccaneers are its glimpses of raucous and pretentious Gilded Age society in New York, where social maneuvers interweave with Wall Street plots and humble wives of new millionaires squat uneasily on upholstered fortunes. Although Editor Gaillard Lapsley compares scenes in The Buccaneers to passages in Proust, the comparison only calls attention to Mrs. Wharton's limitations: brilliant chapters like those laid in Saratoga fade out quickly, to be followed by weary passages scarcely superior to the average fiction in women's magazines...
Last week's financing was $200,000,000 bigger than Wall Street had expected, but, unlike certain industrial issues (see col. 3), was gobbled by investors, being oversubscribed some ten times. (C. J. Devine & Co. opened quotations on the bonds at 101 11/32 to 13/32.) Bringing the public debt to an all-time high of $38,328,000,000 and the Treasury's cash balance to a phenomenal total of some $2,300,000,000 (Secretary Morgenthau wants to be ready for any event in the U. S. or Europe),† the new money is to help finance...
