Eliot dominated the upperclass tournament with six men in the finals. The Elephants Bill Shoeberlein and Sid Tyler faced each other in the 147 pound class, and Noel Scullion and Pete Saurian met in the 177 pound competition. Frank Lombardi at 137 pounds, and Whitey Black, in the unlimited division, both pinned their men, to make it a perfect evening for the Elephants...

A small crowd of 10,000 spectators trooped out to Moscow's Octobrisky Airport, impassively watched the nation's largest airplane, the giant ANT-14, waddle across the field, lift its saurian tail, lumber aloft. Suddenly in a spatter of color the world's record for mass parachute jumping was broken.* Thirty-six graduates of the Soviet parachute school, some of them women, issued from the side door of the ANT-14 like bees from a hive. Ten others leaped from...
