...group of swimmers who comprised possibly the best dual meet team in the world. A coach doesn't usually lose a sprinkling of champions like Charlle Hutter, Graham Cummin, and Bill Kendall all at ones. Ulon faces a job he has attempted, and succeeded in before. He must build up a team that is worthy not only of the name of Harvard, but of the name of Ulen, for he has in recent years made his name synonymous with fine swimming...

But though kraft paper factories were fast becoming the South's biggest industrial baby, Southern capital was hard to find for newsprint. Texans were more interested in cotton, oil and cattle, were skittish...
Last week Promoter Kurth's Southland Paper Mills Inc. finally found its money. Of the $5,000,000 needed to build the plant, RFC put up $3,425,000. The rest will be raised by stock sales, Yankees not barred. Southern publishers contributed $429,000 in capital, signed for 250,000 tons of newsprint...
