From 1915 to 1925, Joie Ray was considered the best mile runner in the world. In 1925 he tied Paavo Nurmi for the indoor record?4 min. 12 sec. Three years later he astonished everyone by making good his boast to become a marathon runner. He was on the U. S. Olympic team in 1928. Since then Ray's achievements have diminished, but not his confidence nor his odd, insistent courage. He competed in C. C. Pyle's second transcontinental footrace, lost a six-day race against a horse in Philadelphia. He tried prizefighting, long-distance roller-skating, driving...

For his first marathon Ray scorned to train, set off at a fast clip wearing the shoes he used for middle-distance running. Doctors cut off these shoes when the race was over. In them they found evidence of almost super-human endurance?two swollen purple lumps which were Ray's feet, chafed to the bone and caked with blood from broken blisters.

That Wadsworth House has been found wanting is conclusively proved by the fact that several years ago plans were suggested for a new and modern medical centre. This building has been held in abeyance because the donor...
...goal in the last quarter and Glover slipped across for Tulane's second a moment later. The crowd-83.000-sat still in a warm twilight while Tulane tried for the extra point and failed. Ernie Pinckert, a brilliant blocking back, made two of Southern California's touchdowns. Ray Sparling the other. After the game they heard themselves described as "football champions of the Universe," watched their coach, Howard Jones, brother of Yale's Tad, being presented with an automobile...
