Coach Brown took the University boat out in the morning and had them go through a short workout at a low stroke. While the first string oarsmen were taking things comparatively easily the other crews worked out over a longer course. Observers were impressed with the strength the University sweepswingers displayed rowing at a low beat. James Lawrence '29 seems to be ironing out the few little errors which have been somewhat of an impairment to his form and gives promise of giving a fine exhibition next week as pace setter for the Crimson eight...
Last week U. S. granaries grew greater and greater with stored wheat. U. S. wheat markets went through heavy liquidation. U. S. wheat dropped below 95? per bushel, lowest price since 1923, and as low as the lowest low since the War. In recent years dollar wheat has been an ebbtide mark, a symptom of a demoralized market, a text for sermons on overproduction and the farmer. But last week dollar wheat would have been good news: 90? wheat seemed to be the new low level for which crop prices were heading...
...only a few trucks and racing cars.* Sponsors of the Ruxton maintain that the pull of the front-wheel drive is a more efficient application of power than the push of the conventional rear-wheel drive. More apparent to the layman is the ground-hugging streamline effect of the low structure made possible by the absence of the long drive shaft and rear-end differential. It is this low body which has made possible the elimination of the running-board-the passenger steps from the car directly to the ground. The Ruxton also claims greater "readability" and driving ease...
...miles in 9 min., 22 sec., breaking a record set ten years ago by Cornell's Ivan C. Dresser. Southern California's Jesse Hill broad-jumped 25 ft. 7/8 in., another intercollegiate record. Yale's Sidney Kieselhorst, champion last year, did the 220-yd. low hurdles in 23 3/10 sec., breaking a record which had stood since 1898-almost. Officials refused to allow Kieselhorst his record because of a "tail wind." For the first time, three intercollegians threw the javelin more than 200 feet-Stanford's Leo Kibby winning with...
...Philadelphia won. His Simplex Piston Ring Special averaged 97.583 m. p. h. This was slow driving for Winner Keech, who in 1928 held the world's speed record by moving 207.55 m. p. h. at Daytona Beach, Fla. But it was not easy, for he took the notoriously low-banked, treacherous Indianapolis turns without lowering his throttle. His skilled chauffering won him about...
