Saturday's races revealed the lack of endurance of both University crews occasioned by constant rough water in the Basin which greatly reduced the number of long, hard rows. As a result Coach Brown is now starting his men in earnest on the long grind in preparation for June...
Spartanburg (S. C.) Herald-Journal, Columbia (S. C.) Record and Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle: $855,000 of notes of the owners, secured by all the stock of these papers. In spite of the earnest Graustein statements about the Graustein press, almost all the rest of the press flayed the Graustein policy. Conservative editors saw it innocent enough but potentially dangerous to press freedom. The yellower sheets saw nothing but machinations of the Power Trust-and undoubtedly hoped to capture circulation from the 13 Graustein papers by painting them black.

...Earnest efforts had been made since the beginning of the century to secure funds to remedy this situation, and innumberable plans had been drawn.

At the sound of the bell, Fellows charged viciously into Hale with rapid blows, then, as he came into closer range, pummeled his opponent with jabs. In the second round Hale seemed to be gaining control of the tide of battle; Fellows had resorted to his shifting, defensive tactics and let himself be chased around the canvas, with Hale pursuing him and dealing out punishment. In the final period, however, the contest turned into a mauling, with...
