Suddenly Carl Y. Matthews saw something else-a dark triangular fin slicing through the water, going toward his daughter. He knew what it belonged to, though never had he heard of a shark in Gull Pond. Quickly seizing a rusty iron bar that was lying on the beach, Carl Y. Matthews interposed himself between the fish and its prey, met its rush, smashed it on the head, dragged it ashore, killed it. It was a blue shark 6 ft. 7 in. long...
...unique. The keels, for instance: instead of just one along the bottom, from nose to tail, the Akron has three-one under the top of the envelope, the two others along the sides, about a quarter of the way up from the bottom. Through each keel frame runs a triangular catwalk, the upper one giving access to the safety release valves above the helium bags. The lower ones serve as corridors to the engine rooms, airplane hangar, crew quarters, galley, messrooms; leading forward to the mooring apparatus and aft to an emergency control car inside the lower...

S. cinema debut of Tamara Geva, hitherto known for her dancing (in the Chauve Souris, in Whoopee, in the "Body and Soul" episode of Three's a Crowd) and her beauty-blonde, with a strangely triangular face, large, exciting eyes.

Oscar Sutermeister '32, one of Harvard's intercollegiate champions, will be defending his pole vaulting title on Saturday, his record height being 13 feet, 6 inches. This year Sutermeister has come up slowly, failing to place in the triangular meet last February, when Everett Collier of Cornell took first with a vault of 13 feet, 10 1-4 inches; second honors went to Noyes of Dartmouth at 13 feet, the Hanover athlete's place being largely responsible for the Harvard victory in the end when Farrell's forces eked out a 42 1-2 to 41-point victory over Cornell...
