High above, the Stukas wheeled, broke up into sections of three and peeled off downward in screaming, vertical dives. Just as the British planes left the deck, the first Stuka dived through the crashing anti-aircraft fire, let go and flattened out. In a searing flash, a 1,000-pounder blew a hole in the flight deck to starboard, smashing planes about to take off in the next flight, causing heavy casualties among the mechanics servicing them. Another tore through the side plate, another plunged close by into the sea, its bursting fragments spattering the crew of one pompom...
Jack Ferguson, a 170-pounder, who captains his team from the quarterback position, will lead the Bullpups in Saturday's contest. Last week they battled the Tiger cubs to a 13 to 13 draw, and previous to that had taken the Brown Freshmen and Hebron Academy over the bumps. Exeter, victor over the Crimson by a 12 to 0 count, set them back 20 to 7, and Andover, which the Yardlings trounced 20 to 0 for their only victory of the season so far, fought the Eli Cubs to a 7 to 7 deadlock...

Open, ordered the word DISQUALIFIED chalked up against the name of Edward Oliver, they did not realize what they were starting. Edward Oliver, a greasy-haired 230-pounder called "Porky," had teed off (with two other players in his threesome) a half hour before the time assigned for his last round. That was contrary to the rules of the U.S.G.A. Even though Ed Oliver's total score (for the four rounds) was 287-a tie with Lawson Little and Gene...
