...scored two of the three touchdowns during the afternoon. In an 80 yard march down the field Batchelder did most of the carrying, ripped off two 20 yard runs and finally carried the ball over on a four yard slash off tackle. Huguley missed the try for the extra point...
This sane point of view may seem beyond need of comment, but there are hundreds of American college alumni now living who heard nothing like it during their undergraduate days.

Second Race. Two days later weather conditions were more favorable, with a fair southwest wind. The Committee boat's little flags announced the course: triangular, 10 mi. to windward, then 10 mi. southeast-by-east, then back to the starting point.

Eventually she comes back to Doggie...

Harold Bromley & Navigator Harold Gatty finally took off last week from Samishiro Beach, Aomori Prefecture, Japan for a nonstop flight to Tacoma, Wash. Twenty-five hours later they were down again at Shiriyazaki, about 40 mi. from the starting point. Reports were meagre, but it was known that the City of Tacoma, an Emsco monoplane, had been in the thick of headwinds, rain and peasoup fog in its course over the Kuriles Islands. One despatch indicated that the plane was forced back by a broken exhaust pipe...
