...threw into the air, not their hats, but grim imprecations. They held an indignation meeting last week and long before their ire had begun to evaporate, composed a three-page letter to Mr. Coolidge, telling him, and asking him, this and that in language of a type which Presidents seldom encounter first hand. The vexed gentlemen were newsgatherers who had met twice a week with Mr. Coolidge for four years. All that time they had guarded his confidential remarks with unwavering integrity, even masking the words which he did wish to reach the public by having them issue from...

Powerful line bucks by Miller alternated with shifty running by Putnam and French accounted for most of the advances. On the defense the University linemen led by a fast, fighting pivot in the person of Gamache were equally effective. Holy Cross succeeded in penetrating this alert, smashing defense for few gains and were never...
...Seldom since the day when Pilgrims first placed expectant feet upon the rock at Plymouth, has the Commonwealth of Massachusetts had a servant who refused legitimate checks amounting to more than $50,000. This man, who plunges into politics for love and duty, is Governor Alvan Tufts Fuller of Massachusetts. Said he recently...
