Governor Futrell and the local sheriff protested that the Weems "funeral" was only propaganda, that Frank Weems was still alive, but their pooh-poohing paled beside a published photograph of Willie Sue Blagden exposing a plump thigh bearing a large black & blue mark...

Stanford's 880-yd. relay team (James Kneubuhl, Ray Malott, Stanley Hiserman, Jack Weierhauser) scooted around the track in 1 min., 25 sec.-.8 sec. faster than the mark set by a University of Southern California team in 1927. Runner Weierhauser's tape-breaking for the world's record was not his only major feat of the day. As anchor man in the mile relay, the last event of the day, he outran University of California's Olympic...
