...projected conference of experts to examine Germany's capacity to pay reparations (TIME, Nov. 19) definitely "fell through." Premier Poincaré suggested another conference to consider the question of how Germany can pay, but this was unacceptable to the other Allied Powers and to the U. S. Sir John Bradbury, British representative on the Reparations Commission, thought it was like "prescribing a pill to cure an earthquake...
...considered that France would be able to make a satisfactory agreement with the German industrial magnates (Herren Stinnes, Thyssen, Klöcckner, Fickler, Rausch, Hubert) for control of factories and mines, and thus secure reparations to cover the cost of reconstruction in the devastated areas. These negotiations, however, fell through principally because Chancellor Stresemann, exercising pressure upon the industrialists, declined to depart from his standpoint that the Ruhr occupation is illegal and that whatever the French have seized from that territory must be placed to the credit of reparations- as there could be no question of paying France and Belgium...
Against Brown the Crimson stumbled and fell yet the game offers no criterion by which the comparative strength of Harvard and Yale may be judged.

It is doubtful it the Brown center could have blocked Pfaffmann's disastrous drop kick had Hubbard been in the Crimson line. The score of the game, however, proves at least...
...make out the firmest sort of a schedule for herself sometimes -a schedule that included rising at seven-but how could she ever keep it when she always overslept? She débuted, she considered a stage career, she tried to be a working-girl, she fell in love-but in each case laziness sucked the strength from each promising adventure. At last she plucked up courage to go to Chicago -and for a little while she seemed to have conquered the family curse (she was intermittently employed at some rather useless work, but still, employed)-the right young...
Specialization-in the person of Karl Pfaffman, dropkicker-defeated Princeton in the first of the so-called Big Three (Eastern) games. Harvard rushed the tall and scrawny Pfaffman into the game a moment after Combs, also Harvard, fell on a loose ball. Pfaffman kicked the goal. Later Princeton lost 2 more points on a safety. Final score: Harvard 5, Princeton...
