Another 75 radio clients receive a limited news budget by short-wave wireless. Transradio boasts ten full-fledged bureaus in U. S. key cities, 540 active string correspondents. It gets its foreign news from France's Havas, Britain's Central News. Proudly Transradio declares that the U. S. Press, for all its bitterness, has never openly accused it of lifting news out of domestic newspapers.

...some fine replacements in the backfield. Norm Rand, another of the "forgotten men" of last season, will be a capable substitute at one half and Pop Nairne, who has been heralded as one of the best runners to be seen for some years at Dartmouth will fill the second string right half position. Bill Clark, who ran 52 yards to help the Big Green to tie the Crimson game in the closing minutes of the game last year is just at capable now as then and will be a considerable help if he is able to play.

He had just got control of Loew's, Inc. for some $75,000,000. He paid another $19,000,000 for a string of Gaumont theatres in Britain without ever looking at them. But he owed all this money in short-term notes. When the market crash caught him amidships, his creditors hemmed him in, charged him with mismanagement. Even his able right-hand man, Winfield ("Winnie") Sheehan, turned against him. When...
...Francisco, Coach Slip Madigan, whose efforts have built "little" St. Mary's into one of the most formidable football teams on the West Coast, coolly started his second string against Nevada. Nevada made a touchdown. Sent in to save the game, St. Mary's first string made the score 7-to-6 at halftime. In the last few minutes of play, Nevada's centre Tom Cashill won the game with a drop-kicked field goal...
