Of the ship in case anything goes
wrong with the mechanical ap-
paratus.
Perhaps, the first time the Akron
sticks its nose out of the dock it may
not even be released for any sort
of fight.
Once assured of the proper meth
DDS for the handling of the Akron
on the ground, the engineers will
proceed with the trial flights.
NNE Of these flights will be made
" over a predetermined route
and for very limited distance, to
determine such things as the turn
ing qualities Of the ship and it's
maneuverability, or how easily it
responds to the various controls.
In another flight the amount of
dynamic lift will be ascertained,
that is, the load which the ship
can carry under the power of its
motors and beyond the lift fur
niShed by its buoyant gas.
Another flight will enable the
engineers to determine the rate at
which the ship will be able to
ascend.
Here the new type of propellers,
which tilt from horizontal to YER
tical position, will be tested under
various conditions.
Finally, special speed trial
flight will be made over a specified
route.

LARGEST SCORE

The largest score ever run up
by a Penn State team was 100

on the short end. Correspond

0, Lehigh 1O6. Between these ex-

ing, down to 13 games in which
the result was 0 to 0,
