...judiciously due south of retreating backs and once smearing an upperclassman's radiator with Limburger cheese. His pranks found more acceptable outlets in stage-managing the academy's 100th Night Show, and his aggressiveness was more usefully employed on the football field. He graduated a mediocre 185th in his class of 276, but one course in which he excelled was horsemanship. That led him into the cavalry and, with the army's mechanization, ultimately into the tank corps. There he came into his own metier, just in time for World...

I was at the bottom of the class." What with his guerrilla warfare against the Point, Abrams stood a mediocre 185th in his class of 276 upon graduation in 1936.

On the narrow beach at the end of East 185th Street in Euclid, Ohio, a group of small sea-rovers collected excitedly around a yellow rubber raft. A few hundred feet out in the lake, drifting away in the offshore wind, was a derelict canoe-the legitimate prize of anyone who could salvage her.
