...Intercollegiate Aerial Tournaments will receive government support. Should there be another war the colleges will be able to turn out hosts of trained eaglets of the type of Quentin Roosevelt and Hobey Baker, ready for service.

The transcontinental intercollegiate air race is not merely a possibility but a probability in the near future...

Bullard '20 who has given up rowing is showing speed and control on the mound and will be a strong factor on the pitching staff. W. B. Felton '19, who pitched on the 1919 team has been showing promising form and has lost none of the skill he exhibited in his Freshman year. From last year's Freshman team, C. B. Butterfield and F. L. A. Cady will push the two older...
