Last week at Annapolis for the Eastern sprint regatta, McMillin got another chance to change M.I.T.'s status. With 34 eight-oared shells from 13 colleges competing, spectators saw the biggest flotilla ever assembled for a crew regatta in the U.S. But for McMillin there was only one other shell on the Severn River: undefeated Harvard, which had lost only nine varsity races since 1937, had already beaten M.I.T. twice this year...
...Hatch Memorial Shell is well situated for almost everything. Sitting back in a chair (rental ten cents), one can watch sailboats moving around in the water, sky-writing airplanes spelling out "New Blue Sunoco" in formation, little children crawling over their mothers and dropping pieces of their chocolate covered ice cream all over them, or one can just watch the cool breezes whipping the spring fashions into shape. One can feel the trickle of cool beer running down a parched throat, feel the warm rays of the sun hitting lightly protected flesh. One can hear G. Wallace Woodworth...
That was enough to make an effective strike. Creole, the Standard Oil Co. (NJ.) subsidiary that produces almost half Venezuela's oil, reported output down 75% and closed its 300,000-barrel-a-day pipeline south of Lake Maracaibo for fear of sabotage. Shell Oil was reported to be closed down even tighter than Creole. The stoppage was just as tough on the government: its revenues, derived mainly from oil royalties, fell off sharply...
...German army was a good laboratory example, Dr. Kalinowsky told the annual convention of the American Psychiatric Association in Detroit last week. After World War I, which produced many "shell-shock" cases, German psychiatrists concluded that the neuroses were caused less by battle experiences than by secondary mental processes, e.g., the wish to escape from danger, and resentment of comfortable civilians. By 1926, pensions were a factor in these neuroses. Thereafter, Germany denied pensions to many shell-shock victims...
Only the freshmen took a first for the Crimson in the regatta which Harvard swept clean in all events last year at Syracuse. The J.V.'s lost to a hot Princeton shell by half a length. How-ever the Crimson accumulated enough points from the three races to hold on to the Rowe Cup, awarded to the school which performs best in all the contests. It was the first time the varsity lost the E.A.R.C. since 1946 when Wisconsin...
