Last year the two best builders of U. S. racing planes were Zantford D. ("Granny") Granville and James Robert ("Jimmy") Wedell. Between their fat little Gee-Bee's and Wedell-Williams Specials it was a toss-up in any race. Last February "Granny" Granville was killed in one of his own planes at Spartanburg, S. C. (TIME, Feb. 26). Last week Jimmy Wedell was killed in a Gypsy Moth near Patterson, La. A student taking his first flight was believed to have "frozen" to the stick, stalled the plane...

Cornell has the Mangan-protege Vipond in this race, and the Big Green has Quimby, also a first class distance man; but they will both have been considerably de-energized by their race in the 1000 yard run event. It remains to be seen whether these iron men can stave...
...outclassed the New Yorkers in spite of the deceptively small score, although the metropolitan team was not running full strength. On the whole, the Crimson's strong reserves should prove a strong factor in favor of the home team this evening in a game which would otherwise be a toss-up, but the Harvard sextet will have to show a lot better playing than it did against the Tiger aggregation which Yale trimmed so easily a short time ago.
