...anything but a dig to speak of our "tiny university's (fulltime students: 1,248) huge stadium." If your man was disappointed in the showing of the Eastern athletes, why didn't he say so? And incidentally his story of the Pennsylvania carnival was built around the performance of a sprint relay team from Texas and two boys from Ohio State, a member of the Western Conference. Small wonder, is there not, in being unable to write about any of your effete Easterners...
...Built in three years in Luftschiffbau-Zeppelin's hangar on the shores of Lake Constance, the Hindenburg was originally designed by famed Dr. Hugo Eckener for the well-blazed airship trail between Germany and Brazil. Last year, however, Akron's Goodyear-Zeppelin Corp., which is closely linked to the German firm, persuaded Dr. Eckener that it would be a smart thing to beat all other nations in the race to establish a North Atlantic airline.

Of the rest ten never left the drawing board. 25 were lost by storm and accident, six by causes unknown, 21 were dismantled, 46 were wrecked in the War, eleven were surrendered to the Allies, seven were sabotaged to prevent surrender...
...another, always does more harm than good to all the parties involved. In the matter of the "Hindenburg" it would be even more regrettable, for then the extraordinary significance of this event would be obscured by a distasteful flurry of paltry pellets of jingoistic mud. The "Hindenburg" was built for trausatlantic passenger service: she is the first airship to be commissioned for this purpose, since the "Graf Zeppelin" was primarily an experimental ship. Commanded by Germany's grand old man of the air, Dr. Hugo Eckener, the "Hindenburg'e" regular trips will be between Germany and South America; but this...
