...himself across a bar 6 ft. 11½ in. high. Last week the official high-jumping world rocked to word that a relatively little (5 ft. 9 in.) Texan at the University of Illinois, using a new technique, had cleared 7 ft. The trouble with the news, from the standpoint of the orthodox: 1) instead of using the conventional running take-off from one foot, Jumper Dick Browning takes off from both feet; 2) instead of rolling over the bar on his side, he goes over in a backward somersault.

...only too happy about the strike. "Thanks for your kind offer of a column outlet. The football season has ended. The basketball season has hardly started. The baseball season has yet to begin. IT jes' looks as though there ain't nuthin' doing nowhere, nohow. From a column-writing standpoint, this strike is perfect. I've just finished hanging on my door a sign, 'Do not disturb'. I aim to catch up on my sleep. No runs, no hits, no errors...
