TIME erred in calling Stanford's dark-haired Corbus "blond," but let Reader Hill mend his talk. Stanford's Corbus was named right guard on Grantland Rice's 1932 All-American team, as Grantland Rice's Manhattan office (telephone: Mohawk 4-7500) will confirm. To the Princeton freshman team and its small, twinkling Coach Johnny Gorman (the quarterback who, in the 1922 Princeton-Chicago game, called for and caught a historic forward pass in the shadow of his own goal) 23 subscriptions to TIME.

He achieved scholastic standing (in economics) far above average. Last year he was elected president of the student body, was named right guard on Grantland Rice's All-American. Quiet, unassuming, no chesty campus hero...
...major town the dawn came up one day last week with the earth-shaking thunder of a 100-gun artillery salute. Three days and nights of sleepless rejoicing, songs, dancing in the streets and every sort of Turkish whoopee began by express order of the Ghazi Mustafa Kemal, blond "Victorious Mustafa the Excellent...
