This year Casey has retained a squad of 57, which is considerable larger than usual. Norman Fradd, director of Physical Education, has been giving the entire squad daily exercises to get the men in condition and toughen them up, in order to avoid the injuries that were so fatal to the 1932 team. The first scrimmage was held on Tuesday and a second one yesterday afternoon...
...Socialist Party was asked to cooperate in the NRA consumer campaign, to canvass housewives to sign pledge cards. Party spokesmen replied that they were too busy "organizing the working masses under the act'' to divert any of their energies to other purposes.

Now a Melbourne manufacturer, in his middle 50's, Norman Brookes still plays formidable tennis. Last winter he teamed with Vines in a doubles match against Gledhill and Gerald Patterson, whose victory at Wimbledon in 1922 was the last by a British subject until Crawford's this year.
