...cornered meet will take the place of the Brown-Holy Cross Triangular Meet, which was held this year in the Stadium for the first time and was a walk-away for the local track and field men. The proposed meet, however, will be no cinch for the Crimson, as all of the five other competing colleges have first rate men in two or three events who will take points from Harvard's total...
People have sailed, swum, flown, rowed, fought, argued their way across the English Channel (21 miles). If and when the much-bruited Channel tunnel (TIME, April 8) is built, people will be able to train-ride across or even walk. But only two men have ever pedalled across the Channel. Hydrocyclist Rene Savard,in 1927, crossed in 7 hrs. 13 min. and last week Raoul Vincent, pumping patiently at the pedals that made his paddles go, got across in "record" time...
...injury in batting practice the day before, starting F. E. Nugent '29 in the leadoff position. He put B. H. Ticknor '31 in centerfield, when he learned that the gymnasts were starting their southpaw Lipp, but Ticknor continued in his batting slump, striking out three times.

Auburn Cemetery, that the Vagabond was set to musing on the eternal brevity of all things in general, and the period between then and his examinations in particular. But the sun shone too brightly...
Outstanding in the Midwest is Tudor Hall, Indianapolis, established by the late Miss Fredonia Allen "who brought Eastern culture to-the Midwest." Connecticut neighbors are Farmington, fashionable and not strict, and the Ethel Walker School where girls are seldom allowed to walk outside the gates. Virginia's Foxcroft stresses manners and sports, as does the more intellectual Rosemary in Greenwich, Conn. Westover in Middlebury, Conn., insists upon its selectivity. The Masters School at Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., is proud of its social standing and religious training. Castilleja School in California is the most famed of Western girls' schools...
