California makes a record-breaking trek eastward to play Penn on Franklin Field. Florida meets Georgia Tech, Tennessee faces Alabama, Princeton plays Cornell. Among the other contests of importance are Holy Cross vs. Fordham, Illinois vs. Iowa, Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame, Alabama vs. Tennessee. Here in New England two clashes will be the center of interest. Harvard's team will receive its initial trial under the heavy fire of the cadet guns, while Dartmouth will be weighed in the balance against Columbia.

Weather was chilly, the moon ruddy...

Her crew of five expected to cross Siberia, the northern Pacific along the Aleutian Islands, south to San Francisco, across the U. S. to New York, to Europe via the North Atlantic...
