...Davis, whose popular fame rests largely upon the cup he donated to international tennis, is rich, 50, a Harvard man. He began his career as Public Baths Commissioner of St. Louis. During the War he served as a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Regular Army, won the Distinguished Service Cross "for extraordinary heroism" in operations at Baulny and Chaudron Farm, France, Sept. 29-30, 1917. He became an Assistant Secretary of War in 1923, was the first World War army veteran to be advanced to the head of that department...

...competition for light-weight crews, Columbia, winner of last year's cup is rated as the big favorite. Harvard is given the advantage over Yale in this class because of its victory over the Blue on the Charles last Saturday, but Penn and Princeton, the other two contenders; are dark, horses and may upset all the dope. The University crew is minus the services of Donough Prince '31, flashy stroke man, whose place will be taken by T. N. Perkins, Jr. '31. J.Q. Adams '31 will take the latter's seat at No. 2 and the rearranged crew will meet...
