...Crimson's Ralph Zani was credited with third place in the 200-yard breaststroke when Navy's Gerry Nay was disqualified for an illegal kick. Zani turned in a good 2:25.4 minute performance. Williams' Charles Davis won the event--the only one in which Yale did not take a first in 2:20.2 minutes. Eli Dennis O'Connor recorded the best time of his life, 2:20.8, but it was only good enough for second...
Like a good many other U.S. novelists who get a kick out of posing as intellectual primitives, Sinclair Lewis was much more of a literary fellow than he let on.

...third dimensional traps into which author, producer, and director Arch Oboler blundered is the temptation to "throw" things at the audience.

The best effects come in the middle distance, although close...
...Business. Strictly a playing pro and hating to teach ("I charge $50 an hour, so even my friends will leave me alone"), Mangrum travels 40,000 miles a year by car, another 40,000 by air in pursuit of the tournament dollar. Money-Player Mangrum's biggest kick: the $22,500 he won in two weeks in 1948 at the "world championship" at Chicago's Tarn O'Shanter, his home course...
