...submarine 54, once a coffin for 40 seamen off Provincetown, Mass., now a rescue laboratory stripped of fighting gear, gurgled purposefully down into seven fathoms of blue Gulf Stream water off Key West last week, carrying a trapped crew of 15 volunteers. The U. S. S. Mallard (tender) stood by. After 15 minutes a black buoy bobbed up among the waves. Three anxious minutes crawled by.

The editorial staffs of The Dartmouth and the Harvard Crimson, college dailies solemnly arranged to meet on tables at Cambridge, Mass. The Dartmouth, trepidatious, threatened to give collegiate journalistic standing to Alton Kimball ("Al") Marsters, famed Dartmouth footballer. Marsters, Dartmouth interfraternity ping-pong champion, rates no golden key for activity on the college daily, but Editor Robert Rathbone Bottome said that, if necessary, he would appoint Marsters to his staff if the Crimson pingers ponged potently. The Crimson's men complained bitterly...
