Batchelder, playing behind the A line, scored two of the three touchdowns during the afternoon. In an 80 yard march down the field Batchelder did most of the carrying, ripped off two 20 yard runs and finally carried the ball over on a four yard slash off tackle. Huguley missed the try for the extra point...
...June because of its cut to 11? per Ib. But the end of the month found stocks of all copper on hand had decreased only 6,346 tons from June's figure of 570,596 tons.* The situation obviously was still unadjusted.

...staunch supporters of Will Rogers who desired a humorist in the White House are beginning to perk up. Only a few months ago the Chief Executive also headlined the Fourth Estate with the fervent desire that the London Naval Conference would bring about "a definite slash in armaments," not merely a limitation treaty. The Washington Wit scores not so much in this amusing reversal of form as in the revelation that both of these Spectacles for the People were after all, only "mimic Games"; one a peace-puzzle of comic sections and the other a panorama of toy ships...
