After that, month after month, Sikorsky toiled, sketched, planned and studied in his personal struggle to conquer the air. He built another helicopter. He built a frail little fixed-wing airplane. They refused to fly, too. He built still another airplane, the 52, and after days of taxiing and trying the controls he got its flimsy, bicycle-wheel undercarriage off the ground, and began trying to learn to fly. After eight minutes in the air he tried a turn; the S-2 crashed from a height of 80 feet and was completely ruined. Sikorsky limped away from the wreck...
...Miller has a lovely pair of legs and tries hard to live up to them. Keenan Wynn and James Whitmore, as the collection agents for a prominent gambler, should bring down the house as two of the daintiest thugs who ever did a sentimental buck and wing at the annual picnic of Murder, Inc.

Godfrey Truslow assisted on the second with a long boot from left wing which Weiss headed in. On both goals the Brown goalie was caught flatfooted, having been drawn to the other side of the goal by the assisting wing...
Grif Buttrick started at right wing, replacing Bill Lingelbach, who sprained an ankle in practice last week. Buttrick very nearly scored with two long shots from the side. He also set up several shots with excellent crosses from his wing...
