...again expected to be the two-mile run, where Pete Reider, Dave Norris, and Ralph Perry could all place. Dick Wharton and A1 Wills are capable of winning in the 1000 and the 600 respectively against the formidable opposition of Princeton's Tempest Lowry and Yale's Bob Skerritt, as should Kip Smith in the pole vault...

Forty-four-year-old Sir Cedric Hardwicke (youngest actor ever knighted) plays the witty Canon Skerritt, who glories in the forms of Catholicism, finds comfort in its intellectual discipline as he sips his old Madeira, calls his parishioners boobs, but achieves a state of grace through the faith of his kitchen slavey...
