...hard a race for the Juniors, and they won decisively, but their form was almost ragged at times. The catching was not good, and all in all they were anything but a polished crew. Not only that, but they were paced by a relatively inexperienced stroke. Meanwhile the Senior boat pulled through evenly and showed excellent form, but they were left in the lunch...
...sorrow and confusion after the death of the West's first Prince of the Church, Bishop Sheil had a quick decision to make-whether or not to cancel his speech. In a stroke of astute churchmanship, he resolved to deliver it as Cardinal Mundelein's political and ecclesiastical testament, a summing up of the liberal views which had made the Cardinal a personal friend of President Roosevelt and a public friend of the New Deal...

Before last week's play started, 15 of 17 New York aspirants thought he would win. So did Bobby Jones...
