Heckel, Junior Varsity third baseman last year, should fit into the Varsity picture this pring. He is a steady, fast fielder but has heretofore proved pretty weak at the plate. If he can improve his hitting a place in the infield is waiting for him. Bob Fulton, Freshman catcher and captain, is a flery ball player and a potentially good hitter. He will have to work, however, for Eliot Bacon, Jayvee backstop, seems to be coming fast and by spring may really be in the running.

When the parade started, 1,000,000 New Yorkers were lined up along the sidewalks to watch it. Shops along Fifth Avenue, closed for the day, had boarded up their plate-glass show windows.

The crew of the S. S. Algic, a 5,496-ton freighter owned by Joseph Patrick Kennedy's National Maritime Commission, refused to help unload cargo onto a lighter in midstream. Uruguayan longshoremen were on strike against employment of non-union labor. Inspired to a quixotic display of labor solidarity by three rabid unionists, the Algic's seamen swore they would not work with scab...
