The mushrooming aircraft industry greeted the news with a figurative tooting of factory-whistles: hauled out blueprints for a big war trade, prepared to jump capacity to peak-load production and tie it there. The Big Three of California plane-making-Lockheed, Douglas, North American-prepared to take on from 2,000 to 10,000 men to get out $110,000,000 worth of accumulated orders, with millions more to come. Without plant expansion the numerous California companies can build more than 700 aircraft of all kinds monthly-more than 8,000 a year...

Harvard is literally with its back to the wall, but if the Sophomore-studded Crimson eleven can carry on from where it left off in Palmer Stadium last Saturday, chances of victory improve.
