...today's other race the lightweights at Annapolis will be rowing on a difficult tidal course which is often quite rough. Besides familiarity with the course, Navy possesses another advantage in its month head-start in getting on the water. The consequent differences in bladework may be a telling margin...
...Wright back on his feet, and made him once again a force to be reckoned with, was a series of commissions from men as highly individualistic as himself. The result was several of the buildings rated today as among the alltime greats of U.S. architecture. Among them: "Falling Water," in Bear Run, Pa., Wright's first reinforced-concrete house, in which he flung cantilevered floors dramatically out over the waterfall; the S.C. Johnson & Son Co.'s Racine, Wis. wax factory, with soaring mushroom columns in the work space and a 16-story laboratory tower completely sheathed in glass...
...encounters around bends in the jungle paths, of ambushes, surprise dawn attacks, endless forced marches.

A battalion of Marauders, after seven weeks of marching through mountains, mud and water, was surrounded at Nhpum Ga; most of the survivors were red-eyed, hollow-cheeked, scarcely functioning by the time the siege was lifted...
...race was a two and a half length romp as it led from the very beginning and steadily widened its advantage. After 30 strokes it already was a length in front of Cornell and M.I.T. Rowing a solid 31 strokes per minute, Tony Goodman's crew had open water on Cornell at the Mass. Ave. bridge when the Big Red started to make its move three-quarters of a mile from the finish. All it was able to do, however, was leave Tech further behind as the Crimson eight stayed ahead while keeping to its low stroke...
...Crimson freshmen's loss in the first race of the afternoon prevented the lightweights' continuing last years' record of sweeping five straight regattas without losing a race. The Cornell freshmen understroked the Crimson eight most of the way, winning by less than half a length in the very rough water. Cornell, Harvard and M.I.T. finished in 7:45, 7:46.2, and 8:01, respectively...
