Another Columbia threat is portly John Vergeichik in the sprints. He was good for under 54 seconds last year in the 100, but has failed to crack 55 this season. His 50-yard efforts also have not been startling this winter. Jim Curwen is sure to take both sprints handily, Eric Cutler and Frannie Powers will prevail over any Lion men in the distances, and Rusty Greenhood should have no trouble with Jack Keating of the Blue. In fact, Keating may take third behind Crimson's Chet Sagenkahn if the latter continues his consistent work on the springboard. The Columbia...

Again France indulged in a friendly gesture to General Franco and informed Premier Negrin that no special plane would be allowed to remove him from French soil. Again the Premier found a way out.

Salvemini went on to state that England and France are not real democracies, but, since they constitute the least threat to our national security, we must align ourselves with them for protection against the dictatorships...
