...After last week's fight. Promoter Jacobs signed a five year contract for Champion Louis' exclusive services. Since a condition of fighting Joe Louis will doubtless be for all challengers a similar contract with Promoter Jacobs, Louis' victory last week gave Promoter Jacobs a virtual monopoly on all really largescale pugilistic enterprises in the future, set up a new promoting partnership which may eventually make the biggest Dempsey-Rickard coups look like small beans. Confusion. When Max Schmeling last year surprisingly knocked out Joe Louis for the first time in his career, his just reward was obviously...
...natural impregnability, it was her isolation. Before the advent of the airplane, the submarine, and the speedier steamboat, England was open to attack from the water, and efforts such as the Spanish Armada, when fleets of sailing vessels were the chief cause for worry, bring to light her virtual isolation.

Berlin film men insisted last week that the real owner of UFA and Tobis is the Franz Eher Publishing Co., which in turn publishes the Nazi news-organ Volkischer Beobachter...
...Yard could stand as a comparatively modern unit. This is the opening of new doors into some of the classrooms in Harvard Hall. Aside from the danger of fire, there is the more prosaic necessity for getting out of the room quickly to attend following classes, which is a virtual impossibility at present...
