...adventures, told of a California girl he knew who eloped with a Venusian and was never seen again. Each distinguished gentleman present had his own version of the visitor's reception. "The man's a pathological case," said the Air Force Chief of Staff, Lieut. General Heye Schaper. Said President Cornelis Kolff of the Dutch Aeronautical Association: "The Queen showed an extraordinary interest in the whole subject." "The Queen," said Professor Maarten Rooy of the University of Amsterdam, "sat impassive-a hostess who does not want to offend a guest...
Needless to say, Powers annexed the 220 by a country mile in addition to the clean-cut victory over favored Bob Schaper of Brown in the 100. The only fly in the ointment as far as Power's performance was concerned was that George "Diesel" Gibbons was sick and unable to swim. It was Gibbons who nipped Powers in an exciting 440 two years ago to give the Bruins their only tank win over Harvard, and last year the same Mr. Gibbons decisioned Powers in another close quarter mile race...

Lonnie Stowell and Captain Frannie Powers will give him plenty of opposition in both of these races, however, Powers even has a chance to upset Schaper in the century...
George Dana and Chet Sagenkahn were not at their best in the low board dive, but the former managed to carry off top honors with 89.53 points. Jim Curwen and Dave Stearns pushed Bob Schaper right to the finish in the 50 in 24.1, and these four points just about put the visitors out of their misery...
