...aviator has a vast number of varying air currents to contend with, and he must therefore be acquainted with relative velocities and varying conditions of winds. To illustrate these conditions Professor Rotch showed charts on the screen of wind velocity and pressure at low and high altitudes. The pressure and velocity increase rapidly as the altitude increases. Charts were also shown of the prevalent winds. West winds are prevalent at high altitudes and in the winter. North of the equator the trade winds are northeasterly and south of the equator they are southeasterly. If the aviator or balloonist followed...

...played against Technology. In a very ragged exhibition only eleven can play on a team, there is an opportunity for every man who comes out, since practically every position is open.

Regular practice will not begin, however, until the snow is off the ground, and Soldiers Field is in good condition. All men out for the team are expected to be regular and careful in their diet, although the regular training table will not start until just before the intercollegiate games...
