...Bloomington. Ind. ; and tall (6 ft. 2½ in.) James Melton from Ocala, Fla. In 1929, shortly before the quartet took its first European tour, young James Melton married Marjorie Louise McClure, daughter of Novelist Marjorie Barkley McClure. The Revelers earn their big money now broadcasting for Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. over a nation-wide hookup. They broadcast for Buick too, over a midwestern hookup. With a substantial Coca-Cola contract be sides, James Melton will make an easy $100,000 this year. It enables him to live in an expensive penthouse apartment, keep a sailing yacht on the Hudson...
...froggy croaks. Trainers, seeing the remaining half of a $10,000 investment shedding weight at the rate of 10 Ib. a day, called doctor after doctor, but no physician's hand could feel that flapping pulse, no stethoscope could reveal the disorder beneath a hide thick as a truck tire. Last week Goliath II still lay in Sarasota and the Circus went on without...
Tornado freakishness was plentiful. At Cassville, Ga. chickens were stripped of their feathers. An automobile owned by a Nashville, Tenn. family went hurtling through the side of a barn without puncturing a tire. Luther Kelley of Sylacauga. Ala. lost his second wife.

I must be afraid of the press because I always dream of being sent through all those rollers that they print papers on, you know, they show...
Yale, more erratic, yet with a better scoring record than the Crimson, chose to adopt practically a five-man defense against her foe, last week-end. These tactics set at naught the almost astonishing team-work of the Harvard forwards and contrived to tire the Crimson players. Harvard undoubtedly showed greater control of the puck, but had it not been for the watchful defense work of Crosby, MacGregor, and deGive, the sallies of Fletcher, Cookman, and Bostwick, might well have skyrocketed the Yale score to a winning figure. Only by sending in Putnam, able puck-carrier, at right defense...
