Most overlooked but one of the best men in the band is first saxist Milt Yaner. And if you don't think that having a first sax that knows how to lead a section is important, listen to Benny Goodman's orchestra right now. He has one of the best alto solo men around, but when the section plays together, it sounds like a battle royal. With Jimmy's bunch, however, it's just one smooth tone, and Yaner is the gentleman responsible for this very telling factor...
...comic-strip may seem a bit too close to the odor of the breakfast table to be worth serious consideration. The reader who finds a vicarious thrill in pouncing upon "Terry and the Pirates" each morning is apt to overlook the genuine skill of the artist, Milt Caniff, in favor of a few well-turned curves on the body of the Dragon Lady. Each section of Canift's daily feature contains a carefully planned composition, both in regard to figure placement and value rendition. His work is characterized by the decisive manner in which he manipulates lights and darks...
...snort at the present and sigh for the good old days in characteristics of track fans as well as the G. O. P. Bill Bingham, Penn Hallowell, Jack Seborer, Emile Dubiel, Milt Green, Norm Cabbera--these have become legendary figures in the annals of Harvard track.

...Edward Ethridge is good in the broad jump, and he is going to fight it out with Dartmouth's Warren King, a 22 foot man. Cornell, despite all their sprinters, hasn't been able to turn up any good broad jumpers, and no one has come along to fill Milt Green's shoes for the Crimson. Ethridge looks like the potential winner, for he cracked Yale's Coxe Cage record last week with a jump of just under 23 feet; and the Elis have one Windy Gary who is just about as good...
Judging from the holes that graduation made in the team, a lot of spirit and hard work will be necessary. Milt Green was consistently good for three first places. Norm Cahners won a lot of points. Dick Johnson was as good a javelin thrower as there was in the east. Then there was John Dorman in the middle distance runs. Gorry Downer, Bob Hall, Mal Millard, and even Bob Playfair once in a while...
