MacMillan and Roald Amundsen have both warned against the use of planes, the Yankee agreeing with the Norseman, in view of similar experiences, that dirigibles are safer. Amundsen is going this year in the Italian-built dirigible Norge, which spent the fortnight undergoing tests at Rome. As he left the U.

In the Melrose game the losers were outclassed by a faster, heavier team and were forced to play a defensive game throughout...
...week. Tonight it will try and prevent the number of defeats from balancing the victories. Coombs has definitely received the assignment at left guard for the present. It was thought that Barbee's superior physique would win him the job, but Coombs' speed has put him ahead of his heavier rival. Barbee will be a relief man for both Malick and Coombs...
