...yard event Andrews, of Dartmouth, who took a second place last year will encounter stiff opposition from J. W. Fobes '32. The former will hardly do better than repeat his performance of last year, when he finished second, but in the 600 victory seems to lie between him and F. E. Cummings '30. Last winter Andrews placed second to Captain Swope in the 600-yard event, and reports from Hanover have it that his form is considerably improved this year.

...yard run. Last year he tied G. A. Tupper '29, to set a new triangular meet record of 33 4-5 seconds.

Now and then it should be remembered that roughly 12,000,000 Chinese stomachs are suffering the gnawing pains of slow starvation. Use less to repeat that thousands of parents are eating their children when they can catch them, thousands of young people gnawing their grandparents as they fall. A population greater than New York plus Chicago is slowly sinking below the level of dog-eat-dog to Death...
