Thousands were held breathless on the banks of the Charles as the Junior Crew negotiated the Henley course in record time, the Seniors and Sophomores coming in 2nd and third respectfully...
...Lawn Tennis Association came out of conference in Chicago with the scroll of honor for 1927. There was little question about the head man and leading lady. As he has done since 1920 William T. Tilden, 2nd, placed first in the ranking list of U. S. tournament tennis players. Helen Wills, struck from the 1926 list by appendicitis, returned to the top of the female troupe.

Hunter, No. 2, and Manuel Alonso, one-time Spanish subject, No. 4, were the only veterans...

The Bursar's office, for example, at Yale, is operated by two men and no more than three stenographers, but the size of the same office in Lehman Hall would make it seem as though the Bursar and his army of assistants at Harvard were running the United States.
