I put a name on there so people would know what...
...Monkeys. It was well that the Boy Scouts have an elaborate organization for it undertook no mean responsibility in bringing some 25,000 Scouts to Washington.

To avoid overtraining he ceases coaching a week before the major races. His favorite starting-line goad: "It doesn't mean anything to think you're good-go out and prove it." Upon seeing Washington complete a second sweep at Poughkeepsie last week, Rusty Callow, seated nearby on the observation train, grabbed Al Ulbrickson and kissed him.
