Horace Mann, undercover Hooverizer in the South, was allowed to withdraw last fortnight from further political operations when he failed to win the support of the Republican National Committee for his "lily white" movement (TIME, Feb. 18).

If he runs in both events, it is quite likely that he will capture a second place in each, although the strain may prove too much for him. R. C. Aldrich '31 and J. O. Wildes '30 are the other Crimson hopes in the mile run. Both have...
...Medical School, and the Harvard Freshman lost to Lincoln's Inn Society in the regular weekly matches of the state inter-club squash racquets tournament on Saturday afternoon.
