Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. ALL-AMERICAN TEAM FOR 1932 HAS STARS FROM EVERY SECTION: NEW YORK, NY - (Exclusive) The All American Board of Football, made up of five of the country’s leading gridiron mentors, exclusively announces in the Universal Newsreel, its “ace” eleven of collegians for the current season. Each of the selected players gets a diploma signed by the Committee of Award, consisting of Glenn “Pop” Warner, long-time Stanford coach, Chairman; W.A. Alexander of Georgia Tech, Jesse Harper of Notre Dame, Christy Walsh, and Edward L. Casey of Harvard. Here’s the Big Team: Ends—Paul Moss, Purdue; Ted Petoskey, Michigan; Tackles—Joe Kurth, Notre Dame; Ernie Smith, So. California; Guards—Bob “Kewpie” Smith, Colgate; Bill Corbus, Stanford; Center—Arthur Krueger, Marquette; Quarterback—Harry Newman, Michigan; Halfbacks—Jim Hitchcock, Auburn; Warren Heller, Pittsburgh; Fullback—Roy Horstmann, Purdue. 2. RIGID POLICE ESCORT FOILS RED PLANS FOR CONGRESS OUTBREAK: WASHINGTON, D.C. - Down stately Pennsylvania Avenue, long accustomed to the pomp and pageantry of military parades, 2500 members of the “hunger army” are allowed to march with their shouts, their banners and their band in Russian uniforms. Eight straggling blocks of Communist leaders and their followers, singing the battle song of Bolshevism and yelling demands for governmental largess, while in front, along each side of the column and bringing up the rear, blue-coats by the hundreds hem the demonstrators and prevent threatened rioting. A pip-squeak finale to the long-heralded “December drive” on the Capitol by Soviet sympathizers. 3. UNITE AUTO-AIRCRAFT IN BULLET-SHAPE CAR TO RIVAL RAILROADS: BATTLE CREEK, MI - Commuting service and short hauling of passengers on railways may be revolutionized by a new Auto-tram now being tested here. A torpedo-shaped coach, which fits standard gauge track, and which is stream-lined to reduce wind resistance, is operated by a 16-cylinder gasoline motor. It has a capacity of 42 passengers and can make 70 miles an hour. It is calculated to provide faster, more frequent and cheaper transportation on main rail lines and is to be tried out right away by two large R.R. systems. 4. WHISKEY PLANTS RUSH PRODUCTION PENDING PROHIBITION REPEAL: LOUISVILLE, KY - With only two weeks supply of whiskey in the United States, should the 18th Amendment be repealed, distillers, under government supervision, lose no time in grinding grain and preparing mash for fermentation so as to be ready to meet the challenge of British, Canadian and Continental strong drink manufacturers. Particular pains are being taken to get the finest water possible, as, strangely enough; the quality of bourbon and other brands depends to an unusual extent upon the water used in the initial stages of distillation. 5. FOREIGN INVENTORS TEST NOVEL PLANES FOR NEW AIR HONORS: LONDON, ENGLAND - The Flying Flea, a new baby airplane developed by Lowe Wylde, makes a successful appearance at Hansworth Aerodrome. It costs $300 and does up to 45 miles an hour with a 6 horse-power motor. MILAN, ITALY - Engineer Stipa of the Caproni Aircraft factory proves the worth of his new “winged barrel,” a flying machine with a tubular fuselage which try-outs indicate is exceptionally stable and easily controlled. 6. NEWEST OCEAN GIANT SAFE IN PORT AFTER PERILOUS FIRST TRIP: NEW YORK, NY - The Conte Di Savoia, second Italian super-liner to be launched this year, arrives here on her maiden voyage after a serious mishap which might have become another great marine disaster but for quick action by the engineering crew and the dangerous descent by rope 70 feet down the ship’s, side in a heavy sea by Gennaro Amatrudo, a sailor, to plug a broken valve-port in the vessel’s “skin.” With her dynamo compartment flooded, the steamer lost nine hours, but her delayed welcome as she noses up the North River sets a record for noise and tooting by harbor-craft. 7. AQUA-BATICS THRILL WINTER SOCIETY SET AT SEASON’S OPENING: CORAL GABLES, FL - Sensational high diving from a 115-foot platform features the water carnival which inaugurates beach sports for the members of the “400” now passing the cold-weather months on the sun-warmed strands of the Southland. New York and Newport blue-bloods vie in hilarious greasy-pole contests and other marine high-jinks. Far from ice and snow, Fortune’s favorites make whoopee on the American Riviera.
