Their second defeat in two nights, the Jayvee hoopmen were nosed out in an overtime by the Boston Boys' Club 42-37 last night at the Gym. Doc Campbell with 19 points for the visitors and Sam White for the Junior Varsity with 11 were the high-scorers...
...burned themselves out, but the full impact of Hemingway's major achievement is just beginning to make itself felt in U. S. fiction. Last week a young Arizona novelist showed what happens when the legendary heroes of the Old West-men of the cast of Wyatt Earp or Doc Holliday-are examined with an understanding gained from Hemingway's studies of later desperadoes. They emerge as quick on the trigger as ever, but hard-up instead of heroic, dissatisfied, bewildered, trapped. Although they start shooting at the hint of an insult, they, too, eat dirt, have their human...
...helped him through that institution and its Bible Training School. Ordained a Baptist minister in Toronto, Robinson received a D.D. and doctorate in psychology from the College of Divine Metaphysics in Indianapolis. Beyond teaching Sunday school and helping at evangelistic meetings while earning his living as a druggist, "Doc" Robinson (as his friends now call him) never preached, soon came to disbelieve Christian doctrine.

Sending these out keeps 60 Psychiana employes busy...
Frank Robinson says that at a visit to the White House a year ago President Roosevelt told him: "Doc, you and I are trying to do the same thing: make people think." A top-notch salesman. Doc Robinson has never forgotten how, in his behind-the-counter drugstore days, he once sold five one-gallon jugs of mineral oil to a man who came in to buy a pint. Besides its own building in Moscow, Psychiana owns three drugstores, a daily paper, the News-Review. An accomplished organist, the founder has an 800-pipe Wurlitzer in his big Moscow home...
