...cold, biting wind yesterday afternoon, Eugene H. Walker '37 covered the four mile cross country course along the Charles in 27 minutes, 43.4 seconds to win the annual University handicap cross country run. John P. Scheu '35, promising varsity harrier, without his handicap of fifteen seconds had the best actual time. Hampered by the weather conditions, Robert S. Playfair '36, the only man to start from scratch, failed to finish among the leaders. Yesterday's race was the last true competition the varsity runners will have before the I. C. 4A. meet which takes place in New York City...
...annual University Handicap Cross Country Run will take place this afternoon at 3.30 o'clock over the four and one-half mile course at Soldiers Field. Among those running will be Robert S. Playfair '36, stellar Crimson harrier, who recently won the Harvard-Yale-Princeton Cross Country Run and Charles F. Woodard '35, both of whom will start from scratch. Handicaps will be announced just before the start of the race. Last year's run was won by Frederick L.

As a matter of fact...
...high-poised head and well-spaced eyes-Winooka, fastest sprinter of Australasia. Winooka was unheard-of outside Australia until last year when, a four-year-old, he won eight of 13 starts, failed only once to finish in the money. Of those races the greatest was the Doncaster Handicap in which he broke the late famed Phar Lap's Australasian record for the mile. Carrying 139 lb., Winooka ran it in 1.35¾. Since his record forced him to carry terrific handicap weights at home, Winooka's owners, A. J. Mathews and W. A. Macdonald, decided to send...
...Fascism that it reversed the process. Those writings of Marx and Engels which were so productive of enthusiasm has another and a less fortunate effect; they crystallized an opposition to the ideal which went to reinforce the more obvious opposition to its practice. Fascism labours under no such handicap. Its critics are never sure that they are attacking the concept rather than a mere imperfect application of it; and its high priests will appoint neither prophet nor creed to dispel a confusion that is so convenient...
