...Great Man Votes (RKO Radio). Latest and youngest addition to the long roster of Hollywood "geniuses" is Director Garson Kanin, whose specialty is making silk purses out of sows' ears. A onetime Broadway actor and assistant to Broadway Producer George Abbott, Director Kanin started his cinema career as an odd-job man for Sam Goldwyn in 1937, when he was 24. Last year RKO somewhat skeptically allowed him to direct a B-picture called A Man to Remember, which was equipped with a no-star cast and budgeted for a mere $119,000. Kanin turned it into an excellent...
...course, was Coach Harold S. Ulen of the Harvard Varsity. Throughout what must have been to him the greatest crisis in his career since his team first won from Yale in 1937, he displayed exemplary self-control and good sportsmanship. No alibis or excuses were to be heard from his lips; instead, he excused himself quietly from a gathering of reporters and officials and went over to congratulate the captain of the opposing team. For a man whose entire life is centered on his team, Hal Ulen took the defeat with an admirable grace that the Harvard athletic community...
...comparison between last year's team, possibly one of the world's best, and this year's outfit demonstrates only too clearly to the spectator the appalling ups and downs invariably associated with a coaching career, and the very great effect a change in the quality of material can have on the success or failure of a team. The manner in which Coach Ulen has weathered his sudden change in fortune has marked him as a credit to the coaching profession and to his college...
...thrills of the evening started with Bud Wilcox racing Art Bosworth to a draw in the backstroke leg of the medley. Then, after Cutler and Powers had garnered first and second in the furlong, Nod Goldwasser, Junior sprinter, annexed a fighting second-place in the 50. Goldwasser's career in the pool now reads like a story-book. He has graduated from the ranks of the House swimmers to the Varsity reserves, and finally has outdone himself in first-rate competition to return a dynamic 24.4 against Brown, beating Matt Soltysiak, Bruin iron-man, for second...
...object toward which these steps are directed is, of course, admirable. But the steps themselves are unsatisfactory in their failure to go far enough. It is not necessary that every student take English A. But it is ideal that every student take some composition course during his college career, if not, by compulsion, at least by strong recommendation. Composition cuts across fields of concentration--in later years it may be as useful to the chemist as to the English concentrator--and hence such a procedure would not be vulnerable to the usual criticisms of regimentation and preplanning...
