...took off my gym suit and then went out for my shower, holding a towel before me. Some of the girls were in the community showers-they were naked-and some were quite bold. I went to one of the [five] private showers, but several other girls were in line for them and I had to stand there and wait my turn. The girl in front of me, I remember, turned and told me that my face was very red. I did feel quite hot. ... I was brought up not to undress in front of other kids and the Board...
Sirs: ANENT COL. VISKNISKKl'S APOPLECTIC DENIAL OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR TOWEL CURTAILMENT AT PHILADELPHIA EVENING LEDGER, IT MAY HAVE BEEN SHEER COINCIDENCE BUT SHORTLY AFTER THE COLONEL WENT TO THE NEW YORK JOURNAL IN 1930 . . .

...Tudor Gardiner mangled their men in the end of the afternoon, their combined ten points didn't give the Crimson enough score to beat the Columbia outfit. The victors' five referee's decisions were enough to let them hold a two point margin. Daughday's man threw in the towel after two minutes of wrestling when he had a shoulder wrenched, and Gardiner flattened...
Said Publisher Bok: "My wife gave me a new gun for Christmas-but the Colonel gave me both barrels." Efficient Visniskki showed him how he could save the Ledger "a staggering sum." One way: to leave the middle paper-towel rack of three in the men's washroom empty. Another way: to get rid of Stanley Walker...
