...campaign. His henchmen go out and get their Irish up, and the whole South Side is voting mad on election day. But this time the banks (Basil Rathbone) and the church (Donald Crisp) and the big newspaper (John Carradine) combine against the old man. Their candidate is just a "6ft. hunk of talking putty," but what with a pretty wife, four kids and a rented dog, he looks great on television; and so he carries the day.

Two Harvard jumpers competed, Guill Aertsen '40 and Bob Partlow '41, Aertsen, holder of the Freshman record at 6 ft., 1 5-8 in, cleared 5 ft., 11 in, and Partlow cleared the 6 ft., 1-4 in, mark, but failed at the next height...
