Class of 1920
The sensational exploits of Gus Sonnenberg, everything but world's champion heavy weight wrestler, continue to absorb the attention of sports enthusiasts throughout New England. At last accounts Gus was on the mend in a Boston hospital, recovering from concussion of the brain, sustained in a bout with the champion, Strangler Lewis. But the injuries that overwhelmed Twenty's candidate for the championship and saved the skin of the titleholder came, not from any prowess of the Strangler's, but from a single inaccurate flying tackle on the part of Gus. For once he missed his mark, shot through the ropes and over the heads of the reporters to the floor of the Arena below. Before that his tackling and his general wrestling had been superb. He had out-wrestled and out-strangled Lewis, scoring the first fall speedily and masterfully, and leaving no doubt at all in the minds of those present as to who will be champion of the world when another wrestling season comes to a close.
Some of the other boys have also come in for recent mention in the news columns. One of New Hampshire's weeklies has this to say about a native son: "Robert Dow of Harvard University won a scholarship which entitles him to a three months' stay in England to study and sightsee. He left New York Sat- urday morning for an eight-day voyage." And none other than the reliable Hanover Gazette announces: "Prof. A. W. Frey leaves the last of the week for Cambridge, Mass., where he plans to spend the greater part of the summer in study at Harvard University." What ails these youngsters, anyway? Are courses at Harvard inevitable?
So far as we know, Hike Newell is the only '2O representative to get his picture in the papers of late. Hike's "photo by Bachrach" appeared in the Boston Herald not long since, at a time when thousands were visiting his Frigidaire Food Preservation Show at Jordan Marsh's in the Hub. Whether it was Frigidaire's new water cooler for offices or other microscopic slides of microbes that drew the crowds, Hike, as New England manager for the company, deserves and hereby is awarded the credit for "packing them in" at his show.
From among our many other rapidly traveling business men, various interesting items have been gathered, as follows:
Ken Hussey, whom the W. T. Grant Stores refuse to allow to settle permanently in any one' spot, has become a full-grown manager of their emporium in Gardner, Mass. After a year and a half in Wisconsin, necessarily out of touch with College affairs, New Year's Day brought him back to New England, where he hopes for closer connections with the Big Green.
