Rutgers' star swimmer, Kojac, whose performances have placed him in the public eye for the last two seasons, qualified in the backstroke, his favorite, and also the 150-yard medley, the new event of the meet. The easy manner in which he finished the medley indicates that he is a dangerous rival for Harme in the final this evenings, He is generally conceded a first in the backstroke, and it is expected that he will help his teammates to a place in the 200-yard relay, the only other event in which he is entered.

Poet Hoffenstein's second book, Year In, You're Out, contains much the same kind of thing in much the same manner, but here is less satire, more lyric yearning.
