...Bermuda, up from the new airport on coral-girt DarreH's Island rose the four-motored, 18-ton flying boat Cavalier for its first test flight since arriving in sections from Great Britain two months ago. For 26 minutes the big craft drummed over the harbor at 185 m.p.h. with only its crew aboard. In a few weeks, Imperial Airways will start it buzzing back & forth to the U. S. in a series of tests preparatory to passenger service this summer...

Opposite her is Robert Taylor as handsome Armand Duval is convincing in the most tortuous windings of their love affair...
...lose, no race will be too hard for Harvey Love's Freshman crew. Apparently competition with the Yearlings will not suffice to test the mottle of the '40 boat. In the first year of the new coaching regime, it will untie the knets of nautical tradition to scale the plane of Varsity competition. However, graduated steps will lead up to this height: a race with Columbia and M.I.T. on May 8, and a four-cornered contest on May 15 with Cornell, M.I.T., and Syracuse...
