...Manhattan, Horace F. Poor, 50, president of the Garfield National Bank, crawled out of a sick bed and wobbled to an open window. Once there, he made as if to leap out, down to the street four floors below him. As he did so, Ella Randolph, his nurse, scuttled across the room to stop him. Just as Horace Poor toppled over, she grabbed his ankles and held them so that he hung down head first, looking into the hot crowded street and waving his arms...
...probability the answer lies in none of these suggestions. Today--and even more so tomorrow--a Bachelor's degree is but the bottom rung in the educational ladder. Men choosing the pedagogic field must now prepare to leap the hurdles of the Master's and the Doctor's letters. Therefore although many have the teaching profession in mind they hesitate to announce their decision on entering the graduate school, realizing that further study may possibly lead them into paths divergent from the professorial chair. A man entering the Law School or the Medical School has his future definitely decided...
...Edmonds has reached 13 feet six inches, none of the men has shown signs of reaching his limit. When Barnes set his present record on April 28, in a West coast meet, he cleared the bar with six inches to spare, as shown by slow motion pictures of the leap. Curr's form is not yet perfected, and for this reason his present performance is not regarded as final...
...French '29, in addition to being the favorite in the 100-yard dash, is depended upon for a first in the broad jump. His leap of 23 feet 11 and one-half inches in the Dartmouth meet, although discounted by a favoring wind, is nearly one foot farther than any Yale jumper has reached this spring. The closest competition will come in this event when G. A. Lomasney '28 battles with Oldt and Brandenburg of the Blue aggregation for second or third place. Against Dartmouth last week Lomasney jumped 22 feet eight inches, while at the same time Brandenburg...
Another event in which the Green can count on a first place without serious competition is the high jump. T. L. Maynard, last year's Sophomore who created a sensation by winning the intercollegiate high jump title with a leap of over six feet four inches is expected to take this event easily tomorrow. Although he was not been doing much over six feet this year, the best height that can be looked for from F. T. Burgess '30 or P. S. Brown '30 will fall under six feet...
