...Doolittle administered a knockout with the first blow struck after the boxers had touched gloves. It was amazing because it was so quick. Pedley was stretched flat before any of the spectators realized it. It was all the more remarkable because Doolittle was boxing out of his class in weight-a light heavyweight in the heavyweight group. The incident, which is local legend hereabouts, and much retold, was an early proof of the quick-thinking faculty Doolittle has so often exhibited in flying. A friend of mine who saw him "sail out" at Cleveland says that many a pilot near...
...First Class-fast, luxuriously equipped extra-fare "limiteds." Second Class-standard Pullmans on slower trains. Third Class-day coaches.

...building. It is hard to imagine a greater obstacle in the successful development of the athletics-for-all policy than insufficient facilities in such indispensable requisites as locker rooms, showers, etc. Dr. Richards and his assistants, the visiting teams, the coaches, not to mention all the minor sports and class athletic teams, would benefit from modern and enlarged quarters. We can hardly expect perfection immediately, but it is heartily hoped that before many moons pass the University authorities will be announcing plans for a new field house...
