Alice the shock was indelible. and no one
now lights three on match in her presence.
Miss Gibson made her debut in New York,
as model She attended Columbia Univer-
sity at night and gloriied gowns in dress
shop during the day. The monotonous routine
and the gaping customers sandpapered her
spirit, and the dress shop abruptly lost its
most popular model.
Sheheaded for Floyd Bennett Field, secured
her pilots license, and began jumping at air
meets around the country.

about the art of jumping. First, she never

'On the ground am shadowed by an unre-

year ago in Miami two ribs broken and
my hip dslocated. That made my eighth
accident in five years. Even New York cab
drivers are thoughtful of me. Last Christmas

two weeks. If were radio comedienne, I'd
adopt as motto, The more firma, the more

She has one other aversion "a more rabid
one because it had its birth in tragedy. Alice
had been schooling girl friend in parachute
jumping. Before taking her up for her first
drop, Alice made certain of the girls courage
and nerves. As they strolled toward the plane,
an aviator offered the two girls cigarettes, and
lit theirs and his own. Then they took off.

Now she falls through the air with the
greatest of ease - this modern Gibson girl.
tall, blonde, dynamic beauty. Born in the glow
of the Golden Gate, she was destined to keep
the scene shifters busy. Her first move was to
Nome Alaska, with her parents. Then her
mother took Alice to Borlange, in the most
picturesque part of Sweden, where Alice grew
up in the colorful native costumes of that
land.
It's only few years since she received her
college diploma from the famous University
of Upsala. She is "a now and acknowledged
to be one of the most expert parachute

college girl, his COUSIN, sitting IN the
open cockpit behind him. He frowned slightly
as though some worry annoyed him. Alice
Gibson had flown with him for number of
years. but it seemed only yesterday that she
had approached him at the airport for the
first time "a rosy checked little girl with
long blonde curls = and asked him for ride.
Mother says she knows will be safe with
you," she had said convincingiy, if untruth
fully. He soon had reason to regret becominga a
victim of charming feminine cajolery. After
her first fight he never could get rid of her.
She haunted him and the airport.
They were up 2,20O feet over Stockholm.
Through the clear air, that immaculate citys

The girl nodded with reassning grin. The
ship zoomed up in an arc and curved into an
upside down position In the next instant the
careful Captain was minus his passenger.
Alice in Coudland had unbuckled the seat
strap and was tumbling through space. -.
Captain Gibson, turning around suddenly
after Strengthening out his ship, was be
wildered by the empty cockpit. Looking down.
he saw his recent passenger far below, and
cursed his stupidity in having taken her up
when he was stunting. He might have known
she would be up to tricks, and he had been
adamant in refusing her permission to make
parachute jump. Parachutes were not as safe
in those days as they are now.
The parachute Alice had was "Robor" -
the Model T of its kind, and now out of use.
The ripcord was awkwardly placed back of the
left shoulder not across the chest as it is
now-and she remembers a few frantic
seconds of reaching for it. A sharp jerk. and
she dared to open the bright blue eyes she
had kept so tightly shut. Like mushroom.
the chute blossomed, and Alice Gibson
swayed downward on her first parachute
Jump daring, thrilling, perilous plunge
she will never forget and which her gallant
cousin still finds hard to forgive.

The Lion varsity, surmounting a

rowed to three and one-half length

ishing more than another length
astern. The same order of finish
prevailed in the two other triangular
contests.
Rough Water Hurts Time,
FOR the entire mile and three

jayvee shells battled rough water

Conditions were fairly good for the

the varsity boats started that the

left the premises for Pinehhitter
Johnny Stone, however, did he become
really appreciated, for next on the
firing line for Washington was Joe
Bokina, who pitched three base hits
and two bases on balls to the Bostons
in the ninth inning. enabling them to
score three more runs, boost the score
to 81, and clinch the game.
The Nationals, in the meantime,
were waiting for Mr.. Walberg to break
down. Rube was reported to have a
weakness for fading, but somehow he
never got around to it yesterday until
1t was too late to do Washington any
good. He actually became better, per-
mitting only one National to reach
base from the fifth inning to the
ninth. despite generous use by Man
ager Bucky Harris of our sides pinch
hitting talent.
Thus, what thrill there was to the
affair was prolonged until Travis
opened the ninth inning with ring
ing double past Foxx's nose. Taking
the cue, Reynolds bopped a single to
send Cecil to third base, from where
he scored when Jake Powell flied deep
to Cramer.
BY this time 1t became noticeable
that Mr.. Walberg, the most prolific
sweater in base ball, was sweating. He
laboriously walked Red Kress to keep
the rally in progress and Kuhel STEP
ped up to smack pitch over the
right field fence to clean the bases.
Red Sox relief pitchers by the regi-

Harvard Captain Stars.

MILTON GREEN, the Harvard
N captain, was the outstanding
competitor in the meet with three
record-breaking victories, one Of
which was disallowed because of the
favoring wind. Five other meet marks
also fell.
Green won the 110-meter high and
the 200-meter low hurdles events as
well as the broad Jump.
His winning leap of "a feet "a inch
was accepted as new record, as was
his 23.5 seconds performance in his
successful 2o0-meter low hurdles trial
during the morning. He opened the
afternoon program with 9 14.6 seconds
victory in the l10-meter high hurdles.
This time was four -tenths of q second
under his own record for that event.
but the officials ruled he was aided
by the wind.
Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania, one
Of Americas outstanding Olympic
middle distance hopes and a two-event
heptagonal winner last year, made his
one 1886 meet start a sensational one.
He broke the tape in the 1900
meter race about so yards ahead of
Alex Northrop of Harvard in 3:52.6,
time that was Ia seconds under Bill
Bonthron's IC4A record and 7.8 sec
onds faster than his own winning
time at Princeton last year.

an invitation to present the cham

Upon DR.. Luther's acceptance, the

steps to have Dr.. Luther's words
short-waved to Germany. where Olym-

The broadcasting company last

optimistic.
