...years ago, just before the Ski races at Stockholm, I decided to get in some early Fall sport, so October found me leaving my native Storvik for Lappland, about 50 mil distant (about 300 English miles.) After two days train ride across to Happaranda I joined my friend Lapp Linnen in his Lapp Kojja (cabin) where we rested in anticipation of a Reindeer hunt the following day. Early dawn found us on the trail of a herd, prepared for six to seven hours journey...

Not a champion drinker, Brundage acquitted himself creditably Stockholm. Soon after, he took up handball, and became one of the country's outstanding singles players while his own construction company put up some Chicago's flashiest apartment...
...trip twice. Beryl Clutterbuck Markham accomplished the hard East-to-West passage solo. Crooner Harry Richman and Pilot Dick Merrill went over and back. Meantime the Blixen-Bjorkvall Bellanca, loaded with ping-pong balls like Harry Richman's Lady Peace, never left the ground. Its take-off for Stockholm was constantly postponed, apparently because the pair were finicky about the weather. This did not bother Baroness Blixen-Finecke. The blonde noblewoman was having so much fun partying on Long Island that she could not find time even to complete her radio lessons...
