...animalian, however, for among its titular governors are a Shepherd (President), a Boy (Vice President), Collies (Masters of the private Gambols). Most members are professionals, but there is a sprinkling recruited from the Army, the Navy, the Good Fellows. Acting Shepherd is Playwright Edwin Milton Royle (The Squaw Man, Launcelot and Elaine). Last week he and The Lambs Council were faced with the problem of raising enough ready cash to keep the club running. A second mortgage for $100,000 on the club property seemed the most expedient way out of The Lambs' difficulty. Immediate cause of financial embarrassment...

...Launcelot and Elaine. In 1921 the noble, moody and self-incriminating Launcelot walked on a Greenwich Village stage with the lily maid of Astolat in a dramatic version of Tennyson's poetry by Playwright Edwin Milton Royle. It was a play to which school teachers were recommended to send their charges. It remains so; is enunciated, in the present revival, with true stock-company grandiloquence...

...humor--in the Elizabethan sense--that erases the memory of wooden Shakespearean heroines. And she is not Junoesque. Bassanio's suit was somehow less plausible for the youth of his friend Antonio; the lines of both were carefully read. Shock-headed and slant-eyed Rummey Brent gave nonchalance to Launcelot Gobbo, and little more can be done with...

...course, tell you what men in my opinion should do well on their past records. In the 440, there is, above all, Yale's flash Launcelot Ross who won the quarter against Pennsylvania in 48 seconds, for a new Yale record. When a man gets down to 48 seconds, he can't be left out of any dope sheet no matter what the meet may be. Other good men seem to be Engle, a Yale sophomore, and the trio who raced each other last Saturday in the Dartmouth, Colgate, Syracuse meet. I mean Barbuti, of Syracuse. Swope of Dartmouth...
