I'VE saw one merchant ship
and glimpsed one airplane,"
Commander Rogers said, smil-
ing cheerfully now that all
danger was past.
''The airplane didn't glimpse
us and our rising hopes suf-
fered a severe dampening.
The seas were high when we
saw the ship and it was not
possible for the men aboard
TO see us as we were but a
mere speck.
"The worst weather was on
the third day. when it rained,
but the plane rode the waves
well and, aside from a wetting,
we did not suffer. We spread
a canvas to catch some of the
water for drinking purposes.
We had no food after the
fourth day, as we did not
stint ourselves on the emer-
gency rations we carried.
mo, you can't give COM
mander Rogers too much cred
it for the way he came thru
it ALL" said Machimst's Mate

It is not a question Of trying to make money but rather of &C., commodating those who have a right 10 see our teams in play.
 "Pennsylvania conducts 15o sports and of these football and basketball .tlone pay their own way Basket ball breaks even, so 1t Is up to foot ball 10 enable us to carry on all the others The money we get from our football games-about $75Q,0o0 year-enables us to put crews on the water, and equip and maintain baseball, lacrosse, fencing and soc cer teams and all other branches of athletics"
