Various fast scout planes of high speed and unusual climbing ability have been said to approach a helicopter in their vertical climb but no one of these machines, no matter how powerful its engines, has been able to leave the ground at flying speed of less than 45 to 70 miles an hour. A large field is, of course, necessary for this type of plane, and in the aerial mail service for example an open expanse is often difficult to find...

...annual line-up for the All-American football team, Walter Camp has this year placed only one member of the University on the first eleven. E. L. Casey Occ, at halfback was the University's sole representative, while Yale and Princeton both failed to place a single man on the all-star aggregation. On the second team the Crimson is unrepresented, but C. A. Clark, Jr., Occ., is awarded a place as guard on the third eleven...
