...shrunken and crumbling Basque front. As predicted, the Rightist columns found ineffective resistance among the 25,000 Basques and Asturian miners defending Santander and last week Santander fell. As predicted, Italy threw aside the last vestige of neutrality in the Spanish Civil War. The three Italian divisions-Black Arrow, Black Flame, 20th of March - which had helped reduce the city, marched in triumphantly and, in good Roman fashion, paraded a column of hairy Basque prisoners. Back home, the controlled Italian press acclaimed the surrender of Santander as "typically and essentially an Italian victory," fit reprisal for the embarrassing Italian rout...
Favorite for the title was a onetime Michigan lifeguard, Russell Hoogerhyde, 31, who, after winning in 1930, 1931, 1932 and 1934, retired to build up a profitable Chicago business in what true toxophilites call their "tackle." Hoogerhyde's proficiency with a bow & arrow really started in 1929 when he decided his form was bad. He shot 1,000 arrows a day for six months while slowly changing his arrow "anchor" grip from just behind his ear to under his jaw.

Every morning, however, Junior calls for his father at precisely 7:30 a. m. and they march in step to the Coryell Sr. garage, get in one of the two Coryell Packards, the Fierce-Arrow, the Cadillac or the Ford, and drive to work. They have a joint office and gold-plated telephones on the same wire. Whenever one receives a call the other picks up his receiver and listens in. It is a Coryell legend that while either Coryell is away on business a stenographer...
What Photographer Powell's photographs neglected to make clear to newspaper readers, who got from them the notion that U. S. fancy-diving was becoming fancier than ever, was what Diver Jump did with her weapons after being photographed with them. The bow & arrow were wired together. The click of the camera was Diver Jump's signal to drop them. By no means a novelty, the "Diana Dive" was invented by Photographer Powell in 1932, when he had Diver Georgia Coleman perform it to publicize the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles...
