...over the soggy Greenwich Country Club links augured well for future intercollegiate tournaments. In the qualifying rounds, stocky, easygoing, Charles Davis of Lawrenceville took the medal with a creditable 36-hole total of 153.

Sample: There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight became Salvation Is the Best Thing in the World. This week ruddy, grey-mustached Brigadier Hubert Edward Burtenshaw of Chicago, dean of the Salvationists' 50,000 U. S. bandsmen, celebrated his 50th anniversary of drumming for the Lord...
