...great crowd rose shouting for Nurmi, the incomparable, the undefeatable, who once ran the mile in 4:10 2/5, who has innumerable times defeated Willie Ritola, Joie Ray (TIME, July 28, Jan. 19 et seq.)-a Nurmi like the After, of the patent-medicine advertisements. While he ran, they sat voiceless, staring at a Nurmi whose legs churned up and down, whose shoulders rolled, whose chest heaved-one who unmistakably resembled that unhappy journeyman of the piles, hookworm, gallstones, liver complaint, kidney trouble, Bright's disease, lost manhood-poor Before. They saw him, with a desperate display of iron...
...Soldiers Field yesterday, under the hottest sun of the year, the Crimson nine blossomed into a baseball team. Twelve hits, four of them for extra bases, with the steadiest kind of pitching, were more than enough to make up for some atrocious fielding, and when Captain Hammond caught Ray's fly for the last out, the count stood 9 to 4 for the University against the recently crowned Maine champions.

Dimlich reached first on a questionable Zarakov error, and scored later on Ray's hit, after Ullman had dropped an easy fly off Jordan's bat. Ray and Jordan executed a double steal, sending the last Maine tally over the base...
...seventh, the second Hammond triple scored a run, when Rogers lifted a long sacrifice fly to Ray in center-field. The last Crimson tally came in the eighth off Price, who replaced Hamilton. Zarakov drove a sharp grounder through second base and took third on Roland's hit to the same place. Todd walked, and Samborski scored Zarakov with a high sacrifice fly to right field. Tobin lined to the third baseman who caught Roland at the plate...
