...into Liberty Hall, which was formerly a garage. First came a beadle, then an archdeacon, then a priest in red biretta, then Bishop McGuire of Africa in a purple cape and mitre of gold cloth, carrying a crook and wearing his bishop's ring of amethyst over a pair of white gloves. At the rear came Marcus Garvey in a feathered hat and George O. Marke, Royal Potentate, who came from Sierra Leone for the ceremony...
...Hitchcock. They rely on expert horsemanship, which the present invaders possess to a greater degree than any of the Americans save Webb. They play a clever, maneuvering, short-passing game. In combination play, an English Back usually stays near his goal continually. No. 3, the pivotal man, pairs either with him or with No. 2, leaving No. 1 to "ride off" the opposing defense or play a lone hand. An American Back often sets off on field-long gallops to score.

They can take care of themselves, whatever happens...
Throughout their entire flight, the U. S. world flyers have never had any clothes except those they stood in. With the enormous gasoline loads their ships had to carry, they could not even have the luxury of the extra weight of a spare pair of socks. When they landed from arctic regions, they threw away their winter kit and bought lighter garb. Last week they were stationed at the small village of Brough on the Humber in England, having an "easy time"- though working feverishly all day, overhauling their motors, reconditioning their planes-and purchasing new cold-weather outfits...
