...stated to Mr. Perry that the Navy's stand on the eligibility question at the time of the Army-Navy break was better taken and far more sportsman like than West Point's; and that the latter's attitude was tantamount to saying "We will kick off from midfield; you, opponent, will kick off from your twenty yard line". Mr. Perry's reply was in effect that no one need schedule the Army team under compulsion, and that only refusals by opponents to play under the circumstances would break what properly has been termed the obdurate attitude of the Army...
Crewmen go to their stations within the ship's envelope, each performing his first duty of searching a prescribed area for stowaways. Then, with the ship moored in midfield, the first flight guests climb up the little stairway into the control cabin: Secretary of the Navy Charles Francis Adams, Assistant Secretary for Aeronautics David Sinton Ingalls, Rear Admiral William Adger Moffett, President Paul Weeks Litchfield of Goodyear-Zepplin, his vice president Designer Karl Arnstein, and many another. In all there are 113 persons aboard, more than a dirigible has ever carried...

S. promoter, Harold F. Pitcairn, manufacturer of airplanes. But it was still a strange and dubious invention...
...second half Dunster received the kick, and ran the ball back to midfield. After a few more plays, it was discovered that there were 12 men composing the Dunster eleven, but this difficulty was soon remedied by removing one man from the field, and administering a five-yard penalty on the offenders. Lowell took the ball on downs, and in the last period forced their opponents back to the goal line, scoring with about four minutes to play. On the point after the score, however, a forward pass was grounded, making the final score Dunster 7, Lowell...
