Jean Regan rode The Flirt over ten jumps without touching the top-bar on any one. Seventy thousand people, more than had ever done so before, attended the horse show; one of them was Senor Aime F. Tschiffely, who three years and four months ago set out from the Argentine to ride to the U.

They expected to see famed Chris Cagle, the Army halfback, rush through the little men in front of him. Instead, whenever he took the ball, a flock of Notre Dame players started at him like birds which he could not brush away.
