...Finance Committee of General Motors Corp., sailed into Manhattan harbor on the Roma, last week; and out to greet him sailed his good friend Governor Alfred Emanuel Smith of New York on the yacht Saelmo, owned by Shipbuilder William Henry Todd. Because of an extremely active southwest wind and choppy sea the Roma and Saelmo could not draw nigh to one another without danger.

...wind blew cold over the dunes of the course at Sandwich; the sun was hidden behind rolling clouds. Only a Scot could enjoy golf on a day like this, but Jurado played quietly on. Most of the Americans had turned their scores in. Tommy Armour was out, eliminated on the second day after a hopeless round, but Barnes was in the running, so were Mehlhorn and Sarazen, and as for Hagen, he was leading and looked like a certain winner-Hagen, who had been acting in the movies all winter, who had given his clubs away and decided only...

...heart); the second in devotion to music, of which he is an accomplished votary; the next twelve in British diplomatic service to many strange countries; the next in writing erudite tracts on geology and archeology; and the latest twelve in more artistic though no less studied writing.

...French '29, in addition to being the favorite in the 100-yard dash, is depended upon for a first in the broad jump. His leap of 23 feet 11 and one-half inches in the Dartmouth meet, although discounted by a favoring wind, is nearly one foot farther than any Yale jumper has reached this spring. The closest competition will come in this event when G. A. Lomasney '28 battles with Oldt and Brandenburg of the Blue aggregation for second or third place. Against Dartmouth last week Lomasney jumped 22 feet eight inches, while at the same time Brandenburg...

...Moore '29 should have little difficulty in winning the javelin throw. His performance at Dartmouth, when he threw the weapon 194 feet four inches, seems to make him a favorite, even when the wind, which undoubtedly contributed to the distance, is taken into consideration. Pendleton of Yale took second in the Princeton meet with a throw of 152 feet nine and three-fourths inches, while Keesling was a third with a slight shorter distance. The fact that Pratt did 176 feet two inches at Dartmouth for a third place, gives good grounds for expecting at least eight points in this...
