...resemblance between Larry Mahan, 23, and the bowlegged characters who worked the oldtime rodeo circuit is purely coincidental. Mahan does not even know how to roll his own cigarettes. In fact, he does not smoke, or drink hard liquor. He shaves every morning, says "Sir" and "Ma'am," and occasionally wears a suit and a tie. He owns land in Oregon and a power sweeping company in San Diego; he is a partner in businesses in Arizona and Texas.

Three Skills. After competing in all three of rodeo's riding events-bareback, saddle broncs and bulls-Mahan last year became the second-youngest man ever to win the All-Around Cow boy title (rodeo's equivalent of Most Valuable Player) and the fourth-highest money winner of all time when he collected $40,358.

It isn't enough merely to stay on for 8 sec.; each cowboy is also...

The CRIMSON said "the game will be remembered for the remarkable recovery of the Freshmen and their victory in the face of almost impossible odds. It was an uphill game from start to finish...
...CRIMSON under the direction of R. H. Stiles, Dwight Ingram and Francis G.C. O'Neil moved into its new building on Plympton St. on Friday, November 19, 1915. On the next, day Captain Edward W. Mahan had the finest day of his football career as he scored four touchdowns to help Harvard defeat...
