Sefton and Meadows learned their art from Southern California's Coach Dean Cromwell, who declares that an expert vaulter's greatest single asset is a correct psychological outlook. Both run a 99-ft. stretch before the takeoff, grasp the pole at 12 ft. 2 in. for the ascension. At the crest of their flight they are poised almost upside down, flip their bodies over the bar with a quick kick. Meadows is light (165 lb.) and fleet, depends upon speed along the runway. Sefton is taller (6 ft. 3 in.) and huskier (180 lb.), counts more upon brute...
Epsom Downs is not a flat mile-and-a-half but a tricky course which first runs uphill, drops down around a sharp turn, rises again at the finish. Coming into the stretch, Goya II forged in front as Perifox and the Aga Khan's Le Grand Duc moved up to challenge. Goya II soon faltered and Jockey Michael Beary, who had run Mid-Day Sun to the outside to escape the friction at the turn, pushed his steed fresh down the sun-baked stretch, streaked up to a clean length's lead. Mid-Day Sun held fast...
Dealing with the story of two reporters -- one female and the other supposedly male (yes, another reporter film), Mr. Raymond's latest vehicle does a swell job confusing pure melo-drama with humor not so pure. At times "There Goes My Girl" is definitely amusing, but the stretches of dialogue between the sparse high spots stretch off into the dim, dim distance. The film is not recommended for exam wearied students. Most trite remark: "What are we, men or mice...
...Mitchellmen kept right on, however, pecking at the offerings of ace hurler Ted Bruce until the big blow-off in the fifth, when the impossible was accomplished and the ball game was knoted. In that inning after McTernen was out at second trying to stretch a single into a double, three hits and a fielders choice scored two runs and left three aboard. Then with two out Captain Tom Bilodeau slashed out a fierce drive down the third base line for a circuit elout to bring in four more fairies...
...competition off his brow, Adolph W. Samborski, director of Intramural Athletics, last night issued the final standings for the Straus Trophy. Not unexpected is Kirkland's top position. Somewhat unexpected is the discovery that Eliot, several points behind Lowell when winter hostilities closed, passed the Bellboys on the home stretch and nosed into second place behind the Deacons. Also noticeable is the fact that the order in which the Houses placed in these final standings is the same order in which the crews finished; perhaps a new tradition will arise: "As the crew goes...
