Progress in the Houses toward carrying out the CEP recommendations is still in the early stages. Elliot Perkins '23, Master of Lowell House, said yesterday, "In providing adequate advisers, we have taken a step in the right direction. Where we go from here is uncertain, but it is among the first orders of business in the House...
That this was the case Vag discovered approximately two minutes after entering the city--where he had heard was being held a street concert featuring that swinging master of the Eastern Gilt Edge circuit, Lester Lanin. As Vag made his way towards the center of town he barely avoided colliding with a gentleman, weaving and listing rather badly to port, who had succeeded in losing dinner and a large portion of lunch over his shirt and sportcoat. A quick glance and regrettably long sniff sufficed to give Vag an impression of Brockton which nothing would ever remove...
...Life Master Sobel, 48, whose shapely legs won her a job in the chorus line of a Broadway play in 1926, used to wear dark glasses at tournaments to help create a disarming dumb-blonde impression.

Right alongside Silodor and Crawford, in the judgment of top bridge players, are Howard Schenken and Alvin Roth, both of whom have missed master point opportunities by staying away from many tournaments. New Yorker Schenken, 54, was already renowned in the bridge world back in the early 1930s, has steadily maintained a reputation among the experts as one of the very greatest players, though he stands only twelfth in master points (2,919) and makes his living as a travel agent instead of a fulltime bridge pro. A recent recruit to Charles Goren's team, Schenken is a highly...
