I was in grave error. What I had diagnosed as a flut­ tering pulse turned out to be the strong rhythmic pulse of a surging powei-house. The group for which I held low hopes — on the basis of relatively close losses Here are the requirementas to Missouri, Penn State, and Michigan Appointment to the Aviation Cadets is open to single men, between State — rebounded vnth victories in the Indiana State meet, the Indiana A.A.U. 20 and 26V2 years old, who have completed two years of college meet and a strong second in the Central (or can pass an equivalent examination).
