A counter-weighted forehead strap takes the strain off his neck. He steers the plane by resting his forearms in movable "pans" with hand grips for stick, throttle, etc., at their forward ends. His feet work the rudder, brakes...
...runners were more successful. They beat Andover 62-37 and picked up nine of a possible 11 first places. 52 track and field men won in the 40-yard dash, the 300-yard dash, the 60-yard run, the 1000-yard run, the shot put, the weight throw, the broad jump, the high jump and the discuss throw...
