1937

News was scarce this month. From the lengthy list of changes of address most of you must have spent the summer moving instead of writing newsy notes to the secretary. So aside from a few choice morsels this month's column was gleaned by phone and diligent application of Martinis amongst modest classmates.

The Bill Carharts appear to have made a major move. They've left the Chicago area for Caldwell, N. J., where they now reside at 4 Acorn Place. That's an even swap with RussStearns who has anally found a spot for his family at 711 Central Ave., Highland Park, m.

Royal Abbott has come back to the U.S.A. after a number of years of service with General Electric in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He may be reached through International G.E. at 570 Lexington Ave.,

Gordon Graham has deserted New Hampshire for Chicago again - apparently the countryside wasn't sufficiently stimulating for his writing.

Bill Leonard, seems to be supplementing his CBS-TV program with a fashion column. A clipping from the Los Angeles Times showed up the other day with a picture of Bill "before" and "after." The well-dressed man, if he works with his coat on while seated at a desk, should sew an elastic tape with a button hole in the bottom to the center inside seam of the jacket, buttoning the tape to the top of his trousers. This pulls smooth the wrinkled neck of the jacket. Wonder if Bill has also taken up sewing.

Carl Ray has "moved out to Sky wood Drive, Chappaqua, N. Y., a few hundred yards down the road from Wayne Ballantyne. Wayne thought it was a good idea at first but evidently Ray's persuasive powers have hypnotized the Ballantyne family into spending their free time working on his front yard and cleaning up the hurricane damage.

It looks as though Dave Camerer has finally made it. By the time you get to read this, his publishers, A. S. Barnes & Co., will have three volumes available in your favorite book store. No one should miss reading The Tumult and.the Shouting which is a saga of the life of Grantland Rice. Dave spent most of last year working with Granny Rice and as he says "merely carried the broom" as far as this biography is concerned. For Dave it was an honor and privilege to be tapped to work with Granny on this book which covers outstanding sporting events right up to the last months of Granny's life - but after talking with Dave, I believe most will feel the honor was well placed.

Winning Football Plays and Pounditout are the other two books. The first is a collection of outstanding plays submitted by twenty-one of the country's top football coaches complete with illustrations. "A genuine attempt has been made to keep the reader from foundering in a welter of basic verbiage, quicksand and yawns that so often accompany the more involved books on the subject.' Pounditout is a hilarious fantasy about a race horse that wouldn't or couldn't run. It's a true story - he was named in a contest held by the New York World Telegram and Sun and some fifty thousand people sent in names for him. Illustrations are cleverly done by Lenny Hollreiser.

Behind this Camerer publicity is a motive. Dave has promised to pay his class dues and contribute handsomely to the Alumni Fund - so support Camerer and you will be contributing to Dartmouth, if I have to attach his royalties.
