Died. Harry Wright Rogers, 36, pioneer pilot, oldtime airline operator; of a jugular gash received in his first serious crash in 17 years of spectacular flying: near the Glenn Curtiss Airport (of which he was operations manager), Long Island. Died. Mrs. Winifred Finlay Fosdick, wife of Lawyer Raymond Elaine Fosdick; by her own hand (pistol), after shooting her children, Susan, 15, and Raymond Elaine Jr., 10, to death in their sleep; in Montclair, N.

Like all Fords, the big new plane is all-metal. Its wings spread no ft.

A smoking compartment could accommodate additional passengers. There are two lavatories, a galley with gas stove...

A vital factor in the Eli campaign is the availability of Iglehart, brilliant defenseman and goal-getter. Sinus trouble prevented his taking part in the second game and it is extremely dubious whether recovery will be prompt enough to insure a reappearance. Coach Stubbs of Harvard, on the other hand, has his team at full strength...
Despite the belief that a win is far from improbable, Yale is nothing like overconfident. Her best hopes lie in the renewal of team play and the work of goalers Beard and Curtiss. Special care will be taken to incur fewer penalties which have left the New Haven defenses vulnerable in several of the last games...
