...approaching weekend's schedule, Doug Pirnie appears to be the Harvard trackman most likely to succeed except for the threat presented by Barney Ewell of Penn State, who won both dashes and the broad jump last year. Last Saturday Pirnie, backed by a stiff breeze, did the furlong in 20.7 seconds. His best unaided time was 21.8 in the Dartmouth fray...
...eminently creditable reports that Hess was in Spain shortly before his hop to Scotland, possibly talking peace to deal-loving British Ambassador Sir Samuel Hoare, possibly talking anti-Communism with Red-fighting, churchgoing Dictator Franco. But why should Hess risk a dangerous airplane ride and his first parachute jump, plus the very best chances of internment, for a chance to negotiate with elements he could probably reach in Spain, Portugal or Sweden? And if his mission were official, how could Germany risk the effect on national morale that his queerly explained flight must inevitably cause...
Clinging tenanciously to the heels of Yale's Varsity for 13 nip and tuck events, Harvard's undefeated track squad went over the top in the final pair, the broad jump and Javelin, and scored a 70 1/2 to 64 1/2 upset in the forty-eighth contest between the traditional rivals...
...possible remedies. Apparently insignificant changes, such as the rearrangement of the shop layout, resulted in an increase in the average shop production from 78 to 90 per cent of standard requirements. The most striking alteration, however, was the introduction of the "group bonus payment system," which caused production to jump once more, from 90 to 104 per cent.

Though shorter and less dangerous than the famed Maryland Hunt Cup race, the Iroquois (three miles, 18 jumps) turned out to be tough. Galsac, the favorite, bowed a tendon on the next-to-last jump. Another horse broke a leg, was destroyed. Winner was Rockmayne, a bay gelding racing in the colors of Louisville's Barbara Bullitt, cousin of Ambassador William Bullitt. His time: 5 min., 41 2/5 sec. Her prize: $1,000 and a leg on an old silver cup made in 1820 for the Earl of Coventry...
