Entries for the tennis tournament, which heads off the Yardling program, are already being made at the Union and the Tennis and Squash Shop, Samborski said in an interview yesterday. The tournament, which will begin Monday, September 30, and will be played off during the week, will be held under the supervision of Freshman tennis coach, Dick Dorson. Dorson will probably select his Yardling team on the basis of the tournament showings...
Happiest man in the whole show was Jimmy Walker. After returning from abroad, halfheartedly practicing law while his wife ran a flower shop, conducting a short-lived radio program, he was back in the world of headlines, photographers, wisecracks, still the popular idol of many a New York City voter.

Vigorous Detroiters swarmed to the opening past windows showing mannequins modeled after Detroit socialites, saw live Saks mannequins parade samples of the new shop's $1,000,000 stock of top-notch gowns, furs, jewels. They bought $30,000 worth -a fine day's business. Mindful of his Hollywood debut two years ago when police had to hold back the crowds and resuscitate fainting women, Adam Gimbel used no initial advertising. Nonetheless, the Detroit papers were kind to him. One reason for that may have been that he had made a deal with the Fisher brothers. His shop...
