So would Eddie Tolan; Hurdler Percy Beard, who is a chemical engineering instructor at Alabama Polytechnical Institute; Hector Dyer, Bill Graber, Pen Hallowell.

...Cleveland Clinic Foundation reported in Science "almost but not absolutely conclusive" arguments for the presence of two testicular hormones. In a benzene solution an extract prepared from the gonads produces the well-known hormone which is responsible for the development and maintenance of the secondary male sex characteristics (beard, voice, chest hair, etc. etc.).

He called it "inhibin...

Old Dan Beard has had a pigeonhole since Henry Romeike's time. Sir Thomas Lipton was a client until his death, received packing-boxes full of clippings after the last Gold Cup race. Col. Lindbergh was a client of a small agency before his takeoff for Paris. When the bureau sued him for payment last year he declared he had contracted only for the first $35 worth. Harry Kendall Thaw...
Untypical U. S. athlete is Ohio State's junior, Jack Keller, whose 14 sec. time in the 120-yd. high hurdles beat Percy Beard's A. A. U. record of 14.2 sec. A John Galsworthy enthusiast, 6 ft. 3½ in. tall, gaunt and saturnine, he is married, has refused to join a college fraternity. As a high-school freshman he stood around watching Ohio State's Star Sprinter George Simpson but the track coach put him into the hurdles instead. Last week, after winning the high hurdles, he seemed on his way to a low hurdles...
