This is a great story. The East Coast - West Coast rivalry reminds me of “Seabiscuit” / Santa Anita

What is “the Spoon?”

Thanks David. The Spoon is a senior award given each year to the most popular member of UPenn’s senior class.

Great account, Josh. I had no idea the IC4A’s came west to Edwards in ‘32, and that Carr beat Eastman there as well. You bring these times alive.

Thanks Earl. I enjoyed researching this story and will find a way to weave some of it into my book.
