There are frequent scenes in which one seriously suspects that Miss Lamarr will, at any moment, be tied to the railroad tracks, but fortunately...
Fred West of Cornell will have to muster his best to retain his shot put crown in the Briggs Cage the afternoon of the meet against the Crimson coalition of Howle Mendel and George Downing. Bill Shallow will probably survive the assault on his 35 pound weight record which will be concerted by Warwick McCutheon of Cornell, and George Read of Yale...
