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. Fulley, a cousin of Anthony Eden-could hunt for gold on Cocos Island, some 300 miles southwest of Costa Rica. 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. In quick succession the Metha Nelson rammed another vessel, caromed...

...safer and more logical argument for Dartmouth's loss, therefore, would seem to be that the Big Green is not one of the east's top teams today. A good early season team, and a flashy and "break" outfit, the Blaikmen of 1938 are not by any means in a class with Cornell (who beat them), Carnegie Tech, Pittsburgh, Holy Cross, or Villanova. 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...
