...this season, against Colby and Boston University, the Granite State eleven has tossed 24 passes, of which 18 were completed. Six of the seven touchdowns run up against the two opposing teams were scored through the air. John Shea seems to be the main spring of the Wildcat passing attack. He is generally conceded to be one of the best passers in New England college ranks and it is hoped that his sharpshooting will give the Crimson secondaries a severe test.

Bonfils with a morning and evening Post and the Scripps-Howard syndicate with a morning and evening News (TIME, Feb. 14), continued in its crazy aspect of wildcat frontier town. Last week the Post's frantic efforts for circulation included: A spectacle to signalize the Denver auto show: "The next thing on the Denver Post's free amusement program, ladies and gentlemen,* will be a thrilling leap for death by 75 world-famous Autoarabs, the tumbling Gas Anns, the Leaping Lenas of motordom's circus world...
