...evening last week the little U. S. gunboat Fulton, carrying a complement of 186 officers and men under Commander Harry D. McHenry, was cruising in as ugly a bit of water as lies off the coast of China. Bias Bay, 50 miles northeast of Hongkong, is notorious as a base of operations for Chinese pirates.

...changes were apparent in the Harvard football camp yesterday where the eleven went through the usual practice work as the team moved a day nearer the culmination of the whole season's work. When the Crimson entrains at 10 o'clock Friday morning for New Haven the full complement of players will be in the best physical condition in several weeks.

Easterly is back at left guard after several days on Team B. Gundlach...
