Near Ottawa, something that looked like a white-hot stovepipe flashed wickedly over the heads of three men in a boat, they said. Other Canadians saw flying teacups. J. William Sheets of Seattle announced quietly: "They come through our yard all the time." E. E. Unger, meteorologist in charge of the U.S. Weather Bureau at Louisville, Ky., reported a strange orange light rolling across the southern night. Idaho's Lieutenant Governor Donald S. Whitehead saw a whole flock of broody bright objects sitting motionless in the midday sky. A woman in Texas saw a disk...
...citizens were perched in the school building, the Methodist or Baptist churches, or in tents on the block-square island of high ground. Around them lay the deepest flood water in local history. They had brought portable oil stoves, bedding and other necessities to the island. The Coast Guard boat brought supplies every morning; the movie house rowed in a new film every night. The State Health Department vaccinated everybody for typhoid and smallpox...

Gone too will be Captain Bob Stone, who was at four, and Stu Clark, at two. Significantly, from the balanced-boat angle, all three are starboard oarsmen...
Filling Cunningham's spot will probably be the toughest. The rest of the boat conquers of falls on the pace that its stroke can set and maintain for them.

If he intends to draw from this year's Jayvees, he will have the advantage of drawing from, tested oarsmen, for his number two boat captured the Eastern Intercollegiate sprint title for Junior Varsities while the Varsity was winning theirs. An unfortunate coincidence, however, is that Jayvee stroke, Oliver Filley, is already an alumnus...
