...weeks later, another fisherman hauled in a 32½-pounder, then a world's record for Kamloops (now it's a 36-pounder). Then the rush began. Anglers converged on Pend Oreille, equipped with deep-sea tackle and high hopes. When the Kamloops bit, they bit hard. One man, rowing along the shore one morning with his rod draped over the stern, suddenly saw the rod fly up as if alive.

Cunningham led the Crimson to victories at Annapolis, Princeton, and the Thames, besides at Lake Washington, which gives the Varsity an unofficial national championship...
...boat for three days, Jany, an accountant in the swimming off-season, did a little exhibition swimming last week at the Easterns in New Haven when he ripped off a 51-second hundred and a 50-yard freestyle in well under 23 seconds. The six foot two-inch, 210-pounder is at present staying at Lowell with John Watkins, captain of the swimming team, and will train in the Block-house pool till he leaves for Ohio Saturday...
