A number of coaches of the bovs’ and girls’ teams have voiced their dis- their laxness in calling fouls, which | naturally. had a tendency to let the | game get away from them, and a cross between a football and basketball game was the result.

Its ships are slower than those of, private operators, though it is hoped that this will be off- set by shorter stops due to elimination of passengers. The first schedules are pretty sketchy in view of past private gervice—many points will be left off the map, at least to begin with, and flights will be fewer in number. Army air! ‘heads deny that their pilots are young and inexperienced, |1 but several were immediately killed ‘enroute to posts in Idaho and Utah. The cancellation order was vaguely worded, left room for new private contracts if they are demanded and are necessary. It seems certain, in that case, that the subsidy ystem is to be discarded, that the fixed price basis will prevail, that smaller concerns will be given a break in! obtaining contracts. : * a * There will be no Nobel peace prize for 1933.

For ten days the Club has received no di rect word from Arthur Abele in Little America. The interruption is One of these is the fact that the engineers are changing the radio equipment at Little America and installing direc- tional antennae so that future mes- sages, stories and broadcasts will come through perfectly. Messages are now being received by Admiral Byrd and his men on the ice but they are unable to send messages out. We should be receiving our stories in another few days now and we bet they will be exciting stuff! There is lots SR a going on down in Richard C. Hoyt Little America. Radio Man The fast of the supplies are being brought in from the various caches on the ice and the winter quarters are being made Cap- tain Allan Innes-Taylor, in charge of Admiral Byrd's dog department, has left with three other men for a 300 mile journey back toward Car- men Land to establish a food base as part of the scientific program of the expedition. A crack which is de- veloping in the ice in back of Little America is causing the Admiral some concern and he is taking his usual early and wise precautions. When Arthur’s stories start coming through again, we hope he will tell us all about that dog sled journey so you may mark it properly on your Club maps. This delay gives us a chance to tell you about an interesting mem- ber of the Club who is .not on the Expedition but is a very important member of it. This is Richard C. Hoyt who, with his radio receiving set, constitutes the northern end of the 10,000 mile air line that trans- mits the stories from President Abele and Lieut. Comdr. George Noville, who are collaborating in keeping the now 12,000 Club mem- bers informed about the doings down at the bottom of the world. From midnight to 8 a.m. every night except Wednesdays, Dick Hoyt is glued to his set, high in the radio room of the Mackay Radio and Telegraph Company, on Broad Street, New York, and receives Abele’s stories, expedition news bul- letins, messages to families and all the other “word traffic” which goes on between this scientific Expedi- tion and the outside world. Hoyt is a cartoonist, a photographer, a wood-carver and, he says, a fairly good sailor, in addition to being an expert radib operator. And what do you think he does on his days off? He is an amateur wireless operator! In this capacity his name is “W2FFL” and he is an active member of the Naval Militia. This week we had a most inter- esting visit from D. G. Shook, in charge of the expedition mail bur- eau at Washington, and he asked us to explain to the Club members how they can have letters or envelopes —————————_r aetitey) mn JeANTARCHICA No Word!

Then they will go by steamship to ‘placed on board the Expedition’s flagship, Jacob Ruppert, and the Bear of Oakland, which will take them next December or January to the. Ross lce Barrier. There they will be unloaded and hauled by dog team to Little America where they will be postmarked and returned to you and the other recipients. By the time they get back they will have traveled almost 25,000 miles . and, with the beautiful stamp and from the Little America Post Office, venir for years to come. .
