...occurred last week till the fifth round when the three most likely contestants lost their matches on the same afternoon. One was George Voigt, beaten by the young Nottingham clerk, Sidney Roper, who last year came close to putting Jones out of the tournament. The others were the onetime Champion Roger Wethered, who was runner-up to Bobby Jones last year, and beefy, self-important Cyril Tolley...
Saturday's meet leaves the Crimson as well off as regards intercollegiate titles as at the end of the 1930 season. Hallowell's 12-yard victory in the mile from as field including McNiff of Pennsylvania and the defending champion Bullwinkle, made up for Sutermeister's forced absence from the vaulting. Fox placed sixth in the two-mile; Harding, a duplication of whose 190-foot throw in the Stadium would have earned him points in the javelin, did only 179 feet. The Crimson's other points came from a fifth place in the half-mile by Cobb; and second place...

As Richards ran in to volley Tilden...
...Montreal bulky Henri Deglane wriggled out of a series of headlocks and clapped a flying mare on bullet headed, cone houldered old Ed ("Strangler"; Lewis, "world's champion" of the Sandow-Bowser group of wrestlers, and flapped him over. Loudly cheered Canuck partisans, for no one had expected Deglane to get a fall. Again they wrestled. Lewis threw Deglane. But when the French-Canadian got up he grimaced pitiably, held out his right arm, showed toothmarks, swore that Lewis had bitten him. Indignant, the referee conferred with athletic commissioners, awarded the fall, the bout, the championship, to Deglane. Indignant...
