...crew from Syracuse is still a question mark in pre-race speculation. Some have claimed poor steering was responsible for the Orange loss to Cornell over a one mile course. A man being lifted bodily out of the boat spoiled what promised to be a good race at Derby two weeks ago when the Orange faced Yale. It is true that the Crimson defeated the Syracuse boat by a decisive length and a half when it raced on the Charles, but the margin will not necessarily be the same after four weeks...
...notes: "Doojie-Woogie," Johnny Hodges' latest effort for Vocation, is well worth getting. It has the usual weird alto sax of the leader and some very fine rhythm riffs . . . Mildred Bailey sings a song from the Mikado, "Tit Willow," and despite shrill shricks of horror from the Savoyards, it still is an excellent job . . . Blue Note, a private recording concern of New York City, has just released its third and fourth records, a ten and twelve inch platter of the blues, with such stars as Frankie Newton and Albert Ammons taking part.

It may have Errol Flynn, whose drawing-room polish didn't come from western saddle soap. But it is still a horse-opera. It has the spirit of the old western epic, with the invincible hero who single-handed oan send packing every bad man in town, with beautiful bar-room wenches, and with more gun-fights than horses. And this should be enough for anyone...
