Scheu in the mile, though certain of defeat by Venzke, will find his hardest competition for second place in the 1500-meter in Bill Ray of Manhattan. If Bob Hall is able to compete in the high jump, he will be matched against Manahattan's Johnny Thompson, who cleared the bar in the Prout Games at 6:2, the same height attained by Hall a week earlier...
...only at Michigan but in many another state this month universities have been wrangling with legislatures to re-store prosperity budgets. Encouraging to pedagogs was the experience of one of the hardest hit institutions, the University of North Carolina. Governor Ehringhaus had recommended that that University be held to a budget some 40% below that of 1928. Last fortnight the University's small, able President Frank Porter Graham, who calls more North Carolinians by their first names than anyone else in the State, made a personal appeal for a 25% increase, told legislators that his University was "reaching...
...rest of the season because of his appendix, and with Walter Crampton, also a 135-pounder, out with a wrenched ankle, the lineup for the Army meet on Saturday will receive a considerable shift. Ward's loss comes as a major setback, especially since the two hardest contests of the season come within the next two weeks. Rated as the classiest intercollegiate boxer in this section, he has lost just one collegiate bout in three years of competition, that to Louis Wertheimer of Syracuse, the intercollegiate champion...
When play ended, 21-14, 21-19, in Manhattan last week, Barna had maintained the supremacy which his admirers take for granted. His winning match, however, had been the hardest in his four-week tour of the U. S., which it ended. Young McClure, an 18-year-old who has been in the front rank of U. S. ping-pongists for only a year, had amply justified his right to represent the U. S. in the World Singles Championship this week in London...
...Hardest hit by Drought were corn and oats-both the shortest crops since 1881. Two years ago the corn crop was 2,900,000,000 bu., worth $560,000,000 at a farm price of less than 20? per bu. This year the harvest was only 1,380,000,000 bu. At an average price of 78? per bu. it was valued at more than $1,000,000,000. The oat crop was less than one-half that of 1932 but the farm price had jumped from 13? to 52? per bu. and total value increased in two years from...
