...Treasury Department; this is followed by an unsolicited list of the U. S. Senators who subscribe to your magazine ; next we have an advertisement for Christmas sales of TIME, sneaked in as answer to a correspondent; then, dear God, a letter saying that a ham actor (Adolphe Menjou) reads TIME, followed by what appears to be an anthology compiled by some forester in praise of one of your customary impertinences; then, mianmian, "no detail is too petty to try to print correctly;" then you order a subscriber to REREAD your "political spectrum," whatever that is; the last three letters...

Illinois tugged itself higher in the quest for the Western Conference championship by crossing Michigan's goal line for the first and second time this season. Garland Grange, brother of famed Harold ("Red") Grange, iceman, professional footballer, movie actor, recovered Pucklewartz's fumble of a punt and put Illinois in position for the opening touch down. Score 14-0. Ohio State blighted Chicago's commanding position in the Conference by throwing a 50 yard forward pass over the goal line in the last period to win, 13-7. Minnesota, among the dwindling quota of elevens undefeated, gobbled up Wisconsin...
