...above). The prospect of a Stanford track team winning the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America championship was nothing of the sort. California teams had won for nine consecutive years. When Southern California decided not to send a team to Philadelphia last week, Stanford's Coach Dink Templeton felt that a "skeleton" team of seven Stanford men would be enough to take 35 points and title against some 600 of the best athletes in the U. S. Points at Intercollegiate meets are scaled down from five for a first place to one for a fifth. Usually seconds, thirds...
Beaten for the fourth year in succession. Stanford's Coach Dink Templeton could have blamed it mostly on mishaps to his two best runners. Stanford's huge John Lyman shot-putted a new world's record of 52 ft. 8½ in.: Stanford men placed second and fourth. Henri Laborde won the discus throw as everyone knew he would. with two more Stanford men placed for points behind him. Bill Miller of Stanford tied Bill Graber of U. S. C. and three others in the pole vault. Herbert of Stanford won the 200-metre low hurdles which...
Frank Merriwell, who, along with Dink Stever, has been for years and years the Classic Yale man of fiction, and whose adventures at Mory's in the Old Brick Row, in Professor Beer's classes and at Harvard football games, in those days played at Springfield, have been familiar to countless readers since the middle '90s, will shortly appear upon the screen and over the radio in strictly modern dress.

Just, however, as there would be something incongruous in Dink Stover's making his hideous blunder of giving two girls a lift in a straight-eight roadster, so Frank will look just a thought uncomfortable in the polo coat and pleated trousers of contemporary collegiate fashion. While he flourished mightily in an era when undergraduates sat along the campus fence and sang "Integer Vitae" and "Freshmen, Wake" of an evening, he could never be quite at home in the Dizzy Club while on a Manhattan week end, or participating in a perfumed and platinum Whitney Avenue cocktail party. A more...
...lacks the appearance of a champion runner. He looked even less like one the day he won the quarter-mile in a class track meet when he was a Stanford freshman. He ran in sneakers. But his time was 51 sec. Stanford's seasoned track coach, Robert Lyman ("Dink") Templeton, was so much impressed that he took Eastman in hand, had him go away for the summer to put on weight. Last year, running in the intercollegiates for the first time, Eastman lost to Vic Williams in the quarter-mile, won the half-mile handily. By that time, everyone...
