If such an argument could be supported by any facts, the extraordinary measure of severing our heretofore amicable relations with Yale, even in this single sport, might be treated with suspicion as well as concern. No shred of evidence, however, has been found to support the novel contention that the National Collegiate Athletic Association rules provide for, or even allow, a meet to be decided upon a basis of the total points scored by the judges; on the contrary, the N.C.A.A...

Since then, during Spain's wild swings from Left to Right to Left in last February's general elections, President Zamora, a pious Catholic, has stayed in the unlovable middle. So outraged was he by his suspicion that his old friend Manuel Azaña, now Premier, had taken part in the Left parties' October 1934 revolt that he refused to speak to Azaña. On the other hand he was so suspicious of the Fascist tendencies of the last Right-controlled Cortes that...
