...different dope sheets for this Quadrangular meet in the Garden on Saturday are starting to appear, and from the different predictions made it is clear that no one has any real idea of who will turn out to be the winner. All four of the competing colleges certainly have at least a good fighting chance to win; and between two of them most of the prognosticators seem to be about spilt...
...Donovan would have to be a double winner, and this is exceedingly improbable, seeing the way that Nicky Kerr and Jim Pender are going in the dash. So that leaves the way open for the Elis, as far as I can see. It is a very difficult meet to dope. The four teams are going to be so close together that a slip on the part of any one of them will throw the meet to someone else. Even Harvard might win, if Northrop take the mile, the two mile relay team wins, and they pick up a few other...
...would be as bad as 75 1-3 to 37 2-3. They will come up to Cambridge as definite underdogs, realizing that Cornell has an even more powerful outfit than had been generally expected; and they will come up realizing that their only hope of upsetting the dope and winning this Quad meet will be their strength in the field events coupled with Harvard's strength in the running.

"It takes too long a time and plenty of money," said Dr. Mei philosophically. "It is from this fact that you get the reasoning of the Chinese Government and its application of capital punishment. . . . It is China's only hope of saving the nation from the dope menace...
...preposterous that the most powerful man in Eastern Asia should have been violently overpowered with the killing of 46 of his guards; lost his false teeth in the process; insisted upon reading the Bible during most of his 13 days' captivity at the hands of a "onetime dope fiend," Young Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang; and then should suddenly have returned by air to Nanking announcing that he himself was partly to blame for his own kidnapping and that the kidnappers had let him go partly because they had been much moved by reading some 50,000 words of his private...
