Sure Thing. In Phoenix. Ariz., Wallace Bros. Circus offered $1.000 to anyone who could stay aboard Tiny Tim, the elephant, for three full minutes, won their wager with two men, a boy and one woman-who sued for $111,000 for injuries.
Field Test. In Durham, England, engineering students had it all figured out on paper that 20 men could outpull one elephant until Jumbo, a circus animal, ruined their calculation by pulling both students and teaching staff 20 dusty yards on the end of a tow rope.
Adolph W. Samborski, director of Intramural Athletics, presented the Straus Trophy to this year's champion Eliot House at dinner Tuesday evening. The Elephant win broke the three-year string of Kirkland, which was second by a scant 22 1/2 points this season.
Eliot's first eight regained the House crew cup yesterday afternoon in the Charles River Basin by defeating four other House boats in the finals of the intramural crew season. Winthrop, previously undefeated in four races, finished a half length behind the Elephant, with Kirkland third.
Lefthander Scott Rickettson gave up four hits to Eliot but was aided by good breaks and poor Elephant base running. Luke Lockwood allowed the victors only two hits, but one was a line double to Jebb Brey which scored Dave DeRham who had reached base on an error.
