...largely Christian Lebanon, where Moslems are mistrusted, the Fighting French had better, luck. Last week in Beirut they set up a new government under slight, grave-faced Maitre Sami Bey el Solb, who had fought the Turks in World War I side by side with T. E. Lawrence and King Feisal. Around him Premier el Solh gathered a strong Cabinet and prepared to hold a free election for the Presidency and Parliament.

Although the Crimson mounds man racked up seven strikeouts, Nichols' superior support from a hustling Bruin aggregation that made only one error, gave him the edge...
Tennis coach Jack Barnaby seeded four more of his Varsity players, Jim Jenkins, Hugh Hyde, Dick Sorlien, and Ted Cohn. However, since he was not familiar with the records of most of the graduate school entries, Barnaby had to trust to luck that none of the good players would be eliminated in the early rounds...
