...Koch, 40, has been poking around in the Arctic since he was 19. He sailed with the bicentenary jubilee "North-Around-Greenland" expedition (1920-23), later commanded three government geological surveys to East Greenland, the last in 1930. For that year the American Geographical Society awarded him its Charles P. Daly gold medal...
...African civilization dates back to the times when Oriental culture, including that from China, began to influence the Western world.

He went in at No. 2 while Hitchcock moved to No. 3, Winston Guest...
Play in the second game had hardly begun when the West realized that for its rough play in the first game the East was giving back double measure. This time it was the Eastern player who shouldered his opponent out of the way, swung his mallet heedlessly in races for the ball. Hitchcock took the game's first bad tumble, his pony rolling over him, pinning his right leg, giving him a slight brain concussion. Play was stopped for 20 minutes, but Hitchcock insisted on going back. Shaken and aching, he rode automatically with an old campaigner...
