About then, Fritz swore off wild oats, in 1931 married Ernestine Zwerleine, later a John Frederics millinery model, daughter of a Viennese architect. He also teamed up with Lyricist Earle Crooker, wrote Salute to Spring (1937), which did moderately well in St. Louis but never moved East, and Great Lady (1938), which opened as will Camelot in Broadway's Majestic Theater, and closed after 17 performances. For four years, Fritz wrote almost nothing but sketches and songs for the Lambs Club Gambols, the intramural games of Broadway. Then a friend in Detroit asked him to do a show...

Observations with high-speed camera and photoelectric cell show that an expert golfer may swing his club head as fast as 125 m.p.h. At such velocities air resistance becomes a considerable factor. At the American Physical Society's convention in Washington last week, Physicist Sylvan Jay Crooker of Purcellville, Va. reported that air resistance may be diminished fifteenfold by scientific streamlining of the club head, the shape (except for the face of the club) conforming to airship hull contours tested in wind tunnels. Declared Dr. Crooker: "Dynamic and ballistic analyses, checked by field tests, prove the low-resistance [streamlined...
