He played a heady and cool game throughout and although not carrying the ball once he was responsible for the last touchdown when he threw another last-minute aerial to Harding, duplicating his feat of the Army game. Harper was back to his old form again when, in the opening quarter, he made two successive first downs single handed...

Paris reporters trod its cobbled streets to attend and report the trial of Albi's famed "acid bandits": one Gleizes, a horse dealer, and one Aubes, a shopkeeper, accused of holding up the automobile of wealthy Mme. Holland, Albi businesswoman. Flinging vitriol in her face to blind her, they robbed her, left her in agony by the roadside. Into Albi's courtroom walked Mme. Rolland last week...
