...clear case of brains over brawn in Lowell this year. While the Bellboy grid giants are playing doormat to the intramural loop, the Lowell chess team captured the inter-House championship.

...better as a bellboy. The naked white prostitutes paid no attention to him when he delivered bootleg whiskey to their rooms, though their customers sometimes objected. Because he had never been in jail, he was picked by racketeers as front for a movie-ticket racket. He made $50 the first week. But he knew he was headed for the chain gang. He saved his money, stole everything he could lay hands on, pawned it, and fled to Memphis. There he began to read Mencken and Sinclair Lewis, and to see the white men around him in a different light...
