Last week Amster Spiro, 43, since 1927 city editor of Hearst's largest newspaper, the New York Journal which claims the largest evening newspaper circulation in the U. S. (650,000), launched "Flash News," just such a game with just such features. Two to six persons may play. Each is given a cardboard newspaper front page dummy. Players roll dice in rotation, take from compartments numbered two to twelve, according to the total of their dice, an item, headline, picture or special instruction card.

...Winter Sports season may be nearly over; but the final flash is going to be brilliant one, for the undergraduate or graduate around Cambridge who likes to follow the fortunes of the Crimson athletic teams has two brilliant Saturday cards in store for him. Today, the final game on the hockey schedule with the week Eli five in the Boston Garden is featured, while he who prefers the turf to the ice can go over to the Commonwealth Armory and watch the Varsity polo team seek revenge over Yale. As a warmer-up for these two there comes the basketball...
