Keeping the beat down to 30 and 32 until the last half-minute, Spike Chace's boat kept up a smooth easy stride and finished in 7:09.6. The two or three feet gained by Tech at the opening gun vanished as the Crimson, rowing 37 to M. I. T.'s 40 and Rutgers 38, crept up for a half-length lead which they increased to a length by the three-quarters...
Great symphonies, like great novels, are usually written by men of mature years. Notable exceptions are the 39 symphonies of Mozart, who wrote his first when he was eight, and died at an age (34) when the average composer is just beginning to hit his stride. But the big symphonies of the German romantic period usually came comparatively late in their composers' lives.

For a Frederick Lonsdale comedy, full of fishwife manners but ducal breeding, was unhurriedly finding its stride. Not since 1930 (Canaries Sometimes Sing) had a Lonsdale play softly crackled on Broadway, but most of the audience could probably remember Aren't We All?, Spring Cleaning...
