Crack British runners are the coolest, most versatile in the world. The Oxford-Cambridge track teams, which invade the U. S. every four years to oppose Harvard-Yale and Princeton-Cornell, generally shine in the running events but are defeated because of poor performances in the field events. Publicized as the strongest group ever sent, this year's Oxford-Cambridge team proved unusually well-balanced. Relying on both team "Presidents" (captains), Alan Pennington (Oxford) and Godfrey Brown (Cambridge), for double wins, the Britishers had unbeatable talent on the track except in the hurdles.

Distribution. If & when beer returns it will no longer be "The Biggest & Coolest in Town, 5¢." Taxes, Federal, state, local, will probably run its price above 20c per glass. But will beer-by-the-glass return? Few brewers were sure. The distribution problem still offers the greatest conflict of public and private opinion. As deep-rooted as ever is dread of the saloon. Crusader Fred Clark holds firmly to his organization's purpose of "taking profit out of liquor distribution." Such an able Wet as Representative-elect Wadsworth of New York fears that Repeal, the ultimate goal, might be retarded...
