...Down Strike, suddenly boomed by the General Motors trouble last December as a new phenomenon in U. S. labor warfare, seemed last week to descend from its peak of the week before (TIME, March 1) almost as rapidly as it had risen. The Sit-Down Strike, as an instrument of Labor policy, was impressively sat upon in many places. It had lost its surprise value as police and employers learned more about combatting it.

Al got a fifth in the Outdoor Intercollegiates last season after he had passed the peak of his form; and previously he had doubled to win the 800 and 1500 meter races against Yale. It was Northrop, too, who gave Gene Venzke such a terrific battle in the Heptagonal games at the Stadium last May. If he has approached any such form this year, and apparently...
