...occasion for my latest bit of amusement is the comparison of the recent Drake and Penn Relays [TIME, May 4]. This fellow is obviously an Eastern man, or he would not attempt so often to belittle Midwestern and Far-Western events, nor would he show on occasions a total lack of understanding with regard to events held outside the eastern one-sixth of these United States...
