...Terrible Tommy and his teammates, Fielding Yost and his Homecoming guests-including fabulous Willie Heston (1901-04), whose spraddle legs once scored no touchdowns-wriggled in among the 54,000 football fans in Michigan's magnificent stadium. They saw the vaunted Michigan backs-(Harmon, Kromer, Westfall and Evashevski)-trot onto the field and in less time than it takes to say Evashevski make sausage meat of a not-so-bad Yale team that had beaten Army and Columbia earlier in the season...
Since then the Boilermakers - despite their famed runnings backs, Lou Brock and Jack Brown (rated second to Michigan's Harmon and Kromer)- have been defeated by Santa Clara and tied by Minnesota. They still have a chance for the Big Ten championship should Michigan or Ohio State fumble- provided they beat Iowa, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Indiana in the next four weeks...

Fifteen strikers were dropped by bullets, their names a typical roster of U. S. mine labor: Louis Kromer, Steve Hrosky, George Ely, Anton Maura, Walter Ordorsky, Paul Popson, Mason Robert, George Hroska, Joe Goletz, Mike Budman, James Shannon, George Illeg, Vincent Stunga, Joseph Kromer. One fell on the railroad track, was barely dragged to safety before an oncoming freight train. For the shootings a mine boss and six guards...
