...famed for Hurdler Fred Kelly. After the War it was Charlie Paddock, fastest sprinter of his time; and more recently it was Frank Wykoff. Since 1928 he has been renowned for his record-breaking pole vaulters, most sensational of whom were the "Trojan Twins," Bill Sefton and Earle Meadows, who wound up their college careers last year by breaking the world record with identical vaults three times, once at the unheard of height...
Coach Cromwell's 1938 crop of runners & jumpers who came East last week have been undefeated this season. Outstanding sprinter is Adrian Talley, who lived up to expectations by winning the 100-yd. dash last week. Outstanding pole vaulters, curiously enough, are another pair of "Trojan Twins," Loring Day and Kenneth Dills.

Drawing chiefly on the Trojan Women of Euripides, Trojan Incident relates the aftermath of the most famed of all wars, shows the Greeks leading the women of Troy into slavery and concubinage...
...tell its story, Trojan Incident leaps frenziedly in all directions, snatches at pantomime, dancing, choral singing like merry-go-round riders snatching at a brass ring. Artistically a desecration of Greek drama, Trojan Incident has nevertheless a mongrel excitement of its own: the tale flushes with pathos and movement, and some of Wallingford Riegger's music, such as the narrative chant The Song of the Horse, gives the story a rhythmic speed...
