...Edwards Field at Berkeley, Calif. last week, 15,000 pairs of curious eyes strained to see the University of Southern California's track team defend its National Collegiate Athletic Association title. They expected Stanford, whom the Trojans had already vanquished in a dual meet and in the Pacific Coast Conference championships, to take second place. They expected to see Johnny Woodruff, long-striding University of Pittsburgh Negro, break the N.C.A.A. record for the half-mile. They expected old Amos Alonzo Stagg, now coaching football at the College of the Pacific, to officiate as head referee at the meet...
...Trojan "twins" have vaulted to identical heights to smash the accepted world's record of 14 ft. 6½ in. held by Oregon's George Varoff. At the Stanford-U.S.C. dual meet they soared 14 ft. 8 ½in. Three weeks later at the Pacific Coast Conference meet they vaulted 14 ft. 11 in., quit then simply because the crossbar could not be extended higher. As host for the N.C.A.A. meet last week, the University of California erected new standards 15 ft. 6 in. high. Somewhat psychic, Sefton and Meadows both correctly guessed before the meet that...
...their planes were useless. As had happened many times before in this shoestring war, Bilbao was falling for lack of munitions. At a 3 a. m. conference the Basques voted to hold out to the end, but at the front men were fighting with knives and stones. Down the coast road to Santander, 50 miles away, whither the Basque Government had already moved its records, streamed thousands of Basque refugees. Rightist planes refrained from machine-gunning them, unlike the retreat from Malaga to Almeria...
...last week because the greens had been winterkilled. Designed by Golf Architect Donald Ross, who came to the U. S. from Scotland in 1899 and has since, on 350 links all over the U. S., reproduced as effectively as the land allowed the sweeping dunes of his native sea coast, Oakland Hills is notable for its raised, table-like greens. This feature tends to handicap players like Sarazen, who hit low-flying iron shots, favors bigger, stronger players like Snead, Dudley and Guldahl who can use clubs with more loft to drop the ball on the table from on high...
While hotspots from coast-to-coast observed moments of silence in her memory, while Broadway pitchmen hawked little copper medals stamped with her image and a Hollywood boy was gnawed by a 15½-in. rat which crept up his pants during a memorial revival of one of her pictures, the late Jean Harlow went to her last rest last week in a manner which has come to be regarded by the film colony as quiet, conventional good taste. With a reliable force of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer company detectives on guard to see that there was no repetition...
