...High Jump.--Won by Edwards (A) (5 feet 6 inches); second, Larsen (A) (5 feet 5 inches); tie for third between many, but the teacher's reward cannot be reckoned either in terms of fame or of money. The satisfaction which comes with the knowledge that one has supplied to human beings such means of enjoyment as come through an understanding and a love of good music, is in itself an immeasurable reward. Harvard considers the training of teachers so necessary that it offers three halfcourses in the teaching of music in the Graduate School of Education, and students...
When flights are undertaken, the upper deck of the Langley is completely cleared; masts and smokestacks and all other paraphernalia disappear. The Secretary of the Navy, Admirals, Captains and gobs jump into nets on the sides of the ship, with conspicuous lack of dignity, when a plane is about to alight. The getaway of an airplane is easy.

...Queen's Club, London. Hume won the 220-yard hurdles in 25% seconds and Brown took the shot put with 42 feet 8 inches-a 'varsity record. H. M. Abrahams, of Cambridge, with victories in the 100-yard dash, the quarter-mile and the broad jump, was the most brilliant individual of the afternoon. Walter Hagen, who recently created a world's record of 62 strokes for 18 holes of golf in tournament competition, broke the course record at the Asheville (N. C.) Country Club with 66 in open tournament play. The hockey team of the Boston...
