...week age set a pool record at Hanover of 2:32.6 are well known, while Hough did 2:33.2 in the Princeton-Fordham meet. Other top Tigers are Captain Howie Canoune in the 220, divers Cranston and Kelley, and the relay team of Harper, Stickel, Harwood and Bayliss...
Pete was thought to be the bastard of Old Man Bayliss, soundly-hated lumber tycoon who ground his workers' faces in the sawdust and worse. Pete was even suspected of being Bayliss' spy. When a lumberman was killed because of faulty machinery, Pete, who was handy, came in for a thoroughly popular licking.
