...night, again & again, again. Vinca guesses his secret, confronts him with it. Terribly sorry but terribly proud too, Philippe confesses, hopes Vinca will not want to kill herself. Much to his surprise, she does just the opposite; to his bewildered chagrin, takes it in her uncanny feminine stride, teaches him a lesson about women that he will never forget, never understand...
...England again in 1149.8. After breaking the tape, Hampson fell flat on his face beside the track. He managed to stand up without help when the band played "God Save the King." Second to Hampson by a foot was Alexander Wilson of Canada, who had raced him stride for s tride over the last 100 yd. Third was Phil Edwards, Canadian Negro who used to run for New York University. Edwards had set the pace for the first lap, held on to save third place by 2 yd. from U. S. Champion Eddie Genung...
...beaten him by two inches at 100 metres. Metcalfe started badly. At the head of the straightaway, 100 yd. from the finish, a white runner, George Simpson of Ohio, was in front.

...likes until three hours before a meet when he gobbles steak, tea, custard. Calm, almost lethargic, Eastman's style of running is in character. He contradicts the Indian maxim which says: "White man, body make legs go; red man, legs make body go." His shoulders lilt with his stride but his body does not move and strain, his glasses never wobble on his nose. As Indians are supposed to do, he toes in slightly and, unlike most fast runners, tracks in an absolutely straight line. Eastman lost none of his prestige by losing one race last week. Coaches...
