They will not be fighting for first place, for the great Pennsylvania team has cinched that; but if they can weather these two games they will be in a second place tie, or perhaps sole possessor of that runner-up berth. This is in itself a truly remarkable record, for Wes Fesler had no naturally gifted basketball players. They have literally made that team good out of mediocre material...

Since the peak of the last boom was hit not in 1929 but in the middle 1920s this recovery was spectacular only in comparison with its incredible Depression prostration. F. W. Dodge Corp.'s figure for all types of construction in 1936 in the 37 States east of the Rocky Mountains was $2,675,000,000 as against $1,844,000,000 the year before...
