...every English crime fancier recalls, the legs, though obviously male, had been femininely peroxided and powdered. Suspicion has been strong that the murdered man had been living with some other man who eventually slew him when threatened with blackmail. Last week Pathologist Spilsbury did much to dash this theory by discovering on the male Brentford Torso three long strands of hair unquestionably female.

H. Lawrence. At present Author Whitcomb...
...will be a favorite is the broad jump. Eddie Farrell predicts him to better 24 feet in the spring competition, and this performance, coupled with the efforts of Eddie Calvin, guarantees two out of three places in every meet except the Intercollegiates. Both Green and Calvin are also good dash-men and can be counted on to score for the Farrellmen at this distance. In his sophomore year, Calvin was breaking the tape in 5.4-seconds, and though he never attained his best form during the winter season which closed with the Tri Meet, he is potentially a winner...
