...will enthusiastically approve of this game. "What we particularly desire," said Mr. Fisher, "is a closer contact between Harvard and the Southwest, and we took this football game as a short-cut to our goal. You know, two strange business men can get closer together in an afternoon of golf than they might in weeks of correspondence, phone calls, or even business visits. It is the same in inter-university matters, and we indulge the hope that this football game will quickly engender an intersectional fraternalism between Harvard and the Southwest which could not be brought about by formalism...
Helen Hicks, a stocky girl from Hewlett, L. I., with fat cheeks and muscular legs, has become one of the best women golf players in the world by imitating her friend Maureen Orcutt.

This rash maneuver is not very convincing, but it does give pith to the advertisement which appeared last week in all Manhattan theatre programs: "What you think of this play may start an interesting discussion. Talk it out over a big plate of HORTON'S ICE CREAM...
Strange and unfamiliar to Stokowski must have seemed the Academy of Music two days later as he walked through its sombre emptiness to the stage. Strange and unfamiliar must he have appeared to his orchestra-members, in his brown baggy golf clothes instead of his usual impeccable black. For it was no rehearsal, even though the hushed silence which greeted him was only that of tiers upon tiers of vacant seats. Then with strains of Bach and Mozart he gave a program unique for him, his first before a microphone and unseen listeners, his first to be paid...
