...polyglot future subjects), she was often tempted to yawn. For weeks she had been through an endless procession of official receptions, tedious reviews, soporific speeches and tiresome dedications. On Tuesday, at Pietermaritzburg, there had been a presentation of local dignitaries, a civic luncheon party, a reception at the stadium to meet the white colony, a reception at the race track to meet the natives, a garden party at the Governor's mansion, an inspection of the guard of honor.

It is about as safe now as a balloon in the hands of three five-year-olds. When it will be broken is merely a question of which of the three Varsity strong men rounds into shape quickest. Leading the triumvirate is Jack Fisher, a Senior and All-New England center for Dick Harlow last fall. The former Andover athlete who threw 168 feet...
