...turn, Julius Caesar, Virgil, Antony, Cicero and Brutus become the subject of Cleopatra's unconventional commentaries and after each one has been sufficiently cheapened and demoralized beyond recognition the author turns to Roman stupidity, brutality and licentiousness which he riotously portrays without causing the reader to blnk an eyelash. His obstreperous satire becomes annoying when it is detected as so obviously blatant and artificial. It might be justifiable to sweep all of the heroism away from the character of Caesar, but there should be a motive for such an action. Satire without an objective is innate...
...drive into the rough; Sarazen, who swings with compact precision, banged far down the fairway. "Ho ho!" cried hasty ones, "You see how this will end!" But Smith, whose wrists are wiry, winged a shot home and sank his putt for a 3. He missed another birdie by an eyelash, then holed a long side- hill recovery putt.

No thought was given to teams, but merely to individuals, and when all of the 15 events had been discussed, a tabulation of the points showed Lawson Robertson's University of Pennsylvania team out in front by an eyelash, only half a point ahead of Yale. The points for the leaders were Penn 28, Yale 27 1-2, California 23, Stanford and Princeton 22 each, and Boston College 18. Coach Farrell's men are doped to collect, at the inside, a total of 12 points...
