Three Arlington runners crossing the line in a bunch for fourth, fifth, and sixth places ruined Harvard's chances of winning the meet. Perkins of Arlington beat his teammates, O'Neil and Walsh, to the finish. Warren Taylor '28 was close upon this group, finishing a strong seventh...

To relieve the general feeling of uneasiness in the audience further a soprano came out between the acts with "What Do You Do Sunday, Mary"--which didn't make us feel a bit better.

Then the big events-the Pulitzer Cup race and the John L. Mitchell Trophy race. Eleven army pilots competed for the latter, flying Curtiss PW-8 planes with 480-horse engines. They went in a roaring bunch around the triangular course, flirting about the turns so closely that one man's wingtip severed a guy wire supporting a pylon. Lieut.

S. side, had executed their alternate strokes upon the same ball with skill consummate enough to subjugate ponderous Cyril Tolley, leader of the Britons, and his partner, Major Charles O. Hezlet. National Champion Max R. Marston, representing Philadelphia, and Robert Gardner, Chicagoan and U. S. captain, had subjugated W. A. Murray and E. F. Storey. Jess W. Sweetser, of Manhattan, and Harrison Johnston...
