Under fair water conditions four Varsity boats, Cornell, Syracuse, Pennsylvania, and Harvard, rowed up to a flying start for a two mile race, while thunderheads were threatening overhead. At the mile rain curtained the boats as they rowed down the course, Harvard out ahead with the largest early lead of any contest this season. Syracuse was second, followed by Penn, with the Big Red trailing the fleet...
...four Oslo Powers do not have the same German problem. Norway, Sweden and Finland have some protection against Germany in the Baltic Sea. Denmark has a common 42-mile border with the Nazis. Furthermore, in the 1,500-square-mile province of North Schleswig, Denmark owns territory that, from 1864 to 1918, belonged to Germany. Several times during the last few years the German press has indicated that some day North Schleswig would be returned to the Reich. While Britain indicated last month that she would fight if Denmark were invaded, the Danes know that the German Army could probably...

Starting at Aachen on the Belgian frontier, Führer Hitler demonstratively inspected the reputedly impregnable 400-mile steel and concrete Limes Line (also called West Wall) on the French border, pronounced it good. II Duce wound up a tour of the Italian-French border with a more threatening speech against France than he had previously made on his tour...

...crew from Syracuse is still a question mark in pre-race speculation. Some have claimed poor steering was responsible for the Orange loss to Cornell over a one mile course. A man being lifted bodily out of the boat spoiled what promised to be a good race at Derby two weeks ago when the Orange faced Yale. It is true that the Crimson defeated the Syracuse boat by a decisive length and a half when it raced on the Charles, but the margin will not necessarily be the same after four weeks...
