Last September, Marino Bello, once stepfather of the late Jean Harlow, had asked him to outfit and man his vessel so that Bello and friends-notably Countess Dorothy di Frasso, a nurse named Evelyn Husby, and Richard E.

Hoffmann signed on a crew consisting of three able-bodied seamen, a few waterfront hangers-on, some fine-looking NYA boys from Long Beach, some men who said they were engineers.

Right here at home we have the obvious fact that now the Harvard which won its last four games and the earlier Harvard which lost only by a touchdown to Dartmouth are two very different elevens indeed...
