NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In one of the first inter-college air meets ever held, the Flying Club will oppose Amherst in a three event competition at 2 o'clock Friday, December 12, at the Framingham Air Port. All licensed pilots from each college are eligible to take part.

The first event will be spot landing; the contestants attempts to land within a circle 50 feet in diameter from an altitude of 500 feet. Following this will come paper strafing, hitting with the propeller a roll of paper previously dropped from the plane, and bomb dropping. Flour bags will be used in this, with the same circle as target.

Members of the Flying Club who will compete are President John Bartol, Secretary George Fox, Treasurer Keith Davis, Arthur Nelson, Daniel Martin, Charles Daudt, and John Senior. The Meet Commodores are the three officers and William Strohmeier of Amherst.
