This year only a handful of enthusiasts turned out to watch one of Harvard's great track teams. For it was one of Harvard's best track teams, despite the outcome of the Heptagonal meet which was the result of an inevitable letdown after the pitch reached against Yale the week before. Moreover Jackko's team loses so little horsepower by graduation that an even more brilliant season is in the cards...
...final instructions in how to cheer. (Raise hat, give three lusty cheers. Then hold hat in the right hand over the left breast as Their Majesties pass by.) Cameraddicts were warned that they might: 1) take no flashlight pictures; 2) make no attempts to influence Their Majesties to watch the birdie. St. Maurice Valley Sportsman Jean Crete and a corps of assistants angled for 450 speckled trout for the Quebec specialty Truite Mouchetee de la Maurice to be served at the Government dinner at the Chateau Frontenac.

Beside the little Pawcatuck River, six miles back of where the Atlantic makes Watch Hill a swank summer resort, the lively 270-year-old town of Westerly, R. I. (pop.: 11,000) lies snug against most ordinary ocean blows. But the one that whistled in on the afternoon of last September 21 was no ordinary blow, it was the wildest in the memory of any New Englander. Having washed a good deal of Watch Hill away, it tossed garages and outbuildings into the air, snapped off church steeples, huffed houses down, crippled the power lines, blew in, among others...
