Last year a CRIMSON editorial expressed the popular dissatisfaction with the acoustics of the Memorial Church and pointed out the necessary improvements, of which only a bare minimum has been carried out.

Wood throttled his boat down to 85 for the next lap, 82 for the third, a bare 80 for the fourth. Rotund, red-haired Hubert Scott-Paine and his mechanic. Gordon Thomas, crouching in Miss Britain's small streamlined cowl, got their motors warmer as the race went on, reached a maximum of almost 81 m.p.h. on the third lap. Miss America X was about...
