...central part of the program suffered, for the Band was off the stage, and except for a brief triumph of the Hungry Five, a small combo that combined um-pahs with lumps and grinds things were pretty spotty. The Krokodiloes did well with "You Tell Her, I Stutter,: and "How'm I Doin'" was very good, partly because of the dancing of Mildred Blacklock. She was the high spot of the choral numbers: a consistently skillful dancer who adapted herself especially well to the cramped stage.

...nation over, A.A.U. and A.H.A. partisans are waxing eloquent over the entire American amateur athletic picture. Avery Brundage's Olympic committee, of which Bill Bingham is a member, gets excited about amateur athletics once every four years, searches through its dusty files, and throws its weight behind a likely combo for the U.S. representative in each event...
