Thirty-one members of the University will sail for France from New York on the French liner Chicago today to drive American ambulances at the front. Passports were issued from Washington to the volunteers apparently with no delay, in spite of the crisis. A good deal of anxiety naturally has made itself manifest in regard to the safety of the passage, but the French line has assured the American Ambulance Field Service Headquarters that every precaution will be taken. This may well mean that the ship will be convoyed throughout its voyage, although no definite promise has been made...
...spite of the present international crisis, passports have been issued to these men with no delay. It is possible that the ship will be convoyed through-out the voyage, but this is not definitely promised.

Cabot has shown up especially well, and is a steady, aggressive player and an accurate shot. He and Captain Walker are the strong points of the 1920 line. F. C. Church is a reliable point and carries the puck brilliantly into the opponents' territory, and is well supported by J. Stubbs at coverpoint. W. J. Louderback has shown good form in the goal, but has not played a generally consistent game...
