...among the best of modern religious work.† At present Architect Ralph Adams Cram is working on a design for a sports window for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. His depiction of polo, golf, tennis, baseball, steeplechasing, cycling, handball, swimming, gymnastics, yachting, bowling, billiards, horse racing, rowing, track athletics, football, skating, hockey, soccer, fencing, wrestling, pole vaulting, boxing, trap shooting and motor boating is being hooted at, for lack of realism meets not with the approval of everyone.

Hyatt helped materially last year in Oxford's 6 to 5 victory over Cambridge by winning the shot put and pole vault events. This year, although Cambridge won the meet, Hyatt took two firsts, in the broad jump and pole vault, setting a new meet record in the latter event when he cleared 12 feet in an exhibition leap after having won the event...
