...color guard of R. O. T. C. students started up the slope toward the Greek Theater. As the honor guests swung in behind, a golden concrete "C," high above on a hillside, glistened in the sun. President Sproul led the way with Governor Frank Finley Merriam, ex-officio chairman of the Board of Regents.

More of a favorite than Thomond II was the horse that beat him last year. Betters all over England and the world last week thought so well of Miss Dorothy Paget's Golden Miller that the odds against him were only 2-to-1. lowest in Grand National history. Turf experts estimated that British bookmakers would lose $9,600,000 if Golden Miller won.

Light-heavyweight Champion Bob Olin, cousin of a News cameraman, got his start as a Golden Glover in 1928. So did Lightweight Champion Barney Ross, in 1929.
