From his Berlin bench a Nazi judge scowled down last week at the witness box in which sat Frau Elizabeth Salm. "Just go on lying as you are," said His Honor. "Do you imagine we are capable of believing you were making coffee in your kitchen while in the next room your lodger was being shot?" The lodger was famed Horst Wessel. the student who adapted a German sea chanty into Nazidom's anthem and became the official brownshirt martyr after he was shot by Communists in Frau Salm's boarding house.

Yale's remaining marker came in the eighth. It looked as if it was Harvard's day by long odds, and Captain Loughlin began to ease up from the pitcher's box. He passed Williamson, Curtin singled, and Dugan filled the sacks when Charley Nevin had trouble with a grounder. Then Armstrong again caused trouble with his bat. This time it was a tricky bounding grounder that Johnny Adzigian failed to hold on to. In came Williamson, making it Yale 2, Harvard 3. This was the final tally as the Blue went out in order thereafter...

His brother Mortie persuaded him not to withdraw his entry. With a caddy who had dreamed that he would win, Dutra started out, ambling slowly, using his niblick as a walking stick...
...with courageous caution, sank his third putt on the 18th green for a 293 and the title. He wobbled into the club house, sent Brother Mortie to telegraph their father, gave his caddy $150 of his $1.000 prize money, sat down on a bench and exhibited to reporters his box of pills. Said he: "I didn't think I would be able to finish...
