Curtis D. Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy: "I gasped not with horror when 'Sergeant Major Jiggs,' famed bulldog mascot of the Marines, was dropped from an airplane in a parachute and drifted crazily down to the crowd of spectators at the football game between the Quantico Marines and the Fort Benning (Ga.) Infantry, fortnight ago (TIME, Nov. 29). Ladies near me shuddered, hid their faces lest the intrepid bulldog should meet his doom; some said, 'How cruel!' Bulldog Jiggs landed safely. . . . Then last week I received letters from the Anti-Vivisection Society and from the Society...
...gathering dusk, it was the good right foot of Wadsworth, substitute back, which offset the wonder pass from Chauncey to Saltonstall that sent Harvard momentarily into the lead and the Crimson stands into a riot of joy.

...third in the second heat in 10 1-5 seconds and qualify for today's contests. This afternoon's century is expected to be a fight all the way to the tape with Miller, Norton, and Russell possessing a slight edge. The complete reversal of form exhibited by the Bulldog star was one of the features of the first day's competition. Russell ran well within himself and appears dangerous, while Hussey can always be counted on for a place among the leaders. With this sort of competition Miller should run the greatest race of his career, and is expected...
