...something must indeed be done, for the H.A. A. cannot go on steadily retrenching, limiting its activities, and carrying as large a debt as it is at present. Regrettably enough the Democratic administration has not as yet brought back the old-time football crowds which paid for everything from kangaroo-leather running shoes to the heavenly-scented rubbing-oil. Among the possibilities which have been mentioned are those of establishing an athletic endowment by some of our more solvent polo-playing graduates, and the taxing of Freshmen for their required exercise. These both carry heavy disadvantages...
...slight, sandy-haired man who gets ideas for some editorials while riding on a roller coaster in Louisville's amusement park, Editor Armentrout remained in jail long enough to pay the price of 50? rather than "50 licks with a black lash" for joining a prisoners' Kangaroo Court.

...Follies.

Son of a Mudgee, N. S. W., farmer, he beat Vines in Australia last winter, spry little Jiro Satoh in last summer's Davis Cup matches. Unlikely to get far at Forest Hills, the experience will help him become, with Crawford, the mainstay of Australia's Davis Cup team...
...code signal, the members of the secret society creep up on Garrett, gag and bind him with adhesive tape while he is having his shoes shined. A high-school girl (Judith Allen) entertains his bodyguard while the boys take Garrett to a deserted factory, try him in a kangaroo court, exact his confession to both murders by dunking him in a rat-infested well. The conclusion is an amazing scene, presumably a DeMil-lenium, in which the schoolboys parade through the streets singing such songs as "The Old Grey Mare" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" while riding Garrett...
