Last night's events, giving Harvard swimming enthusiasts their first taste of real first-class competition, provided thrills galore. Ruddy, the Columbia crack long-distance man, provided the major thrill of the evening by defeating his chief rivals Clapp, of Stanford and Ault, of Michigan, in a grilling furlong swim. All three men had already put on stellar exhibitions in trial heats of the 440, and yet they battled through to a hair-breadth finish in the 220. Ruddy was the winner, followed by Clapp, while Ault fell behind in the last stages of the race...
...immediate conflict which has given the thrill of a lifetime to the famed old Ohio town of Youngstown, round which muddy rivers pass, three figures are preeminent. Perhaps the truest steelman of them all is Eugene Gifford Grace, president of Bethlehem. Much as the late great Carnegie picked Charles M. Schwab to head Carnegie Steel, so Schwab chose Grace to be the star of Bethlehem. Tall, slender, faultlessly clothed, President Grace went to Lehigh University in Bethlehem, Pa., there captained the baseball team, there became acquainted with the long rows of mills that mark Steel Town. After graduating he became...
Nevertheless, for him who for the love of the game and the benefits of exercise alone enters the field of athletics, the thrill of intercollegiatism may have little or no appeal. He may represent his college in other fields, but as far as organized athletics are concerned, an hour or two put to good physical advantage is sufficient. Intramural athletics provide an opportunity for this more tempered enthusiast who does not wish to make sports the sum total of his extra-curricular activity. However, the day "when ten Harvard teams will meet Yale's ten" might well fulfill this function...
This fact, we think, has sometimes been ignored by "intramural" enthusiasts. That famous animal, "the average boy," gets much more thrill and pleasure from representing his college on the third or fourth football team, crew "F," or the second freshman basketball team than in playing for Smith dormitory, the class of 1933, or the brothers of Alpha Beta Gamma. The reason is obvious. Lines distinguishing such groups within the college are often artificial or indefinite, and the lines between his college and another are natural and definite. He feels the common fellowship which is essential to good team play...
...triangle, with its hopelessly puerile dialog, has barely enough momentum to suggest a climax until the climax arrives-this time an auto race. The way the race is worked out, to the drone, like the vibration of gigantic, loose 'cello strings, of the little cars, is the only thrill of this typical program picture. Richard Arlen and Mary Brian have the leads. Best shot: poker game in a small-town commercial club...
