Boastful Miami, fidgety at being out of the publicity picture of a President on vacation in Florida, hired the Goodyear dirigible Defender and sent its Mayor C. H. Reeder and other potent citizens flying down the coast to the Hoover offshore fishing grounds. The Defender dipped low over the Saunterer, dropped a pouch on its deck containing a hail-and-farewell message from Mayor Reeder to the President.

Monahan stated that the Golden Bears had no plans for intersectional contests in the future and asked if Harvard would send a team out to the coast. Mr. Bingham replied that there wasn't the remotest chance of it. Harvard does not believe in intersectional games and has gone on record to that effect with Yale . . . : Judging from the Harvard Director's conversation the crew situation on the western littoral interested him not a little.
