Somebody mentioned the 26 men trapped behind the bulkhead door. The commander shut him up. The sea, icy cold at 240 feet, sucked all the heat out of the ship; the sweating hull gave off moisture that intensified the cold...

In the Yale line-up two of the most noteworthy players are Outfielder Eddie Collins Jr., son of the Baseball Immortal who helped bring fame to Connie Mack's pre-War Athletics, and Pitcher Joe Wood Jr., son of famed "Smoky Joe"* who won 34 games for the Red Sox in 1912. At Colgate another Immortal's son, Pitcher George Sisler Jr., has proved he is a chip...
