...more characteristics in common with the Gilbert and Sullivan type of opera than with an armed conflict. He has seconded Millis' motion on the subject by treating the 1898 embroilment as a schoolboy's scuffle. But, like many second-the-motions, "Remember the Maine" is at best only a weak reiteration of something that has been gone over before in more positive fashion...
Coach Skip Stanley, who had anticipated a much better showing from his squad, found the defense slow in clearing the ball out of home territory, and the attack weak in breaking free for passes. To get a strong attack under way, Captain Hammond, who had not intended to play due to a bad nose, saw service most of the second half...
...turned Hollywood's attention back to a uniquely American type of hero, the hairy-chested Western badman. But the chest of "The Oklahoma Kid" is sparsely covered with hair.

"The Oklahoma Kid" is no epic,--just a second feature misplaced...
...familiar, conspicuous figures of the Nazi hierarchy-fat, strapping Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Göring, mousy little Propaganda Minister Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, coarse, Jew-baiting Julius Streicher, Nazi Deputy Leader Rudolf Hess, Labor Front Leader Dr. Robert Ley.

But they were weak in pitching. And pitching is considered 80% of baseball. To improve their defensive strength, Owner Tom Yawkey last winter bought Elden Auker and Jake Wade from the Tigers and Denny Galehouse from the Indians. But the pitcher from whom they expect big things (just in case Lefty Grove's arm is really dead) is Woodrow Rich, 22-year-old hillbilly...
