 The Denali was valued at between S300,000 and S400,- 900 and the cargo of nearly $500 tons, including 10 tons of dynamite, much coal and mining machinery, was worth as much more.
 The first news of the yes sells flight was picked up by the Signal Corps station at Ketchikan, and also at Ju- neau in an sos at 3:13 o'clock Sunday morning. In less than an hour the Cyane was speeding out from Ket- chikan, through heavy wealth CT and a thick fog, to the scene of the distressed steam CT.

Harvard University today was the

of Princeton University, forerun-

Meet records were expected to
tumble right along the line during
the contest between the intercol-

Harvard's outcome will be placed
virtually on the shoulders of Mil
