Newsmen who queried the Brünnhilde on her swimming achievements found her English uncertain. She claims to have swum the Danube seven miles through Vienna, says that since 1919 she has been "the backside champion of Austria...
...TIME OUT, has "swum through rivers of blood", as our friend Cellin'i would have it, and presents a little inside chatter on the showing of the Harvard team last Saturday. Talking with the coaches after the game gave one the impression that they were pleasantly surprised by the performance of the Harvard team during the first half and were just as disappointed by the let-down in the two final periods. What was the trouble? you ask. Why should the Crimson eleven be powerful enough to score in the first few minutes and then subside into a brand...
...starting block for the 200-yard freestyle event, will be Edward C. Devereaux '34, and Abbot W. Sherwood '35, both of whom saw plenty of service last year.

...prime was dearer or more venerated. For the last thirty-eight years it rested easily on wires. Corinthian columns were near it. Above it were illustrious names, such as Parkman, Motley. Beneath it, of late, has been Speaker Saltonstall. So fortunate a fish wouldn't have swum away of itself. Somebody from the gallery prigged it on Wednesday. The ingenious Cantabrigians of The Lampoon and The CRIMSON were at once suspected. There is talk of a youth carrying a long box with Easter lilies sticking out from one end; of other youths smelling of liquor. But codfish begets thirst. Were...
