"Names make news." Last week these names made this news:

In a fog that blanketed New York Harbor some 200 well-to-do Yale and Harvard men, with a sprinkling of Prince-tonians, sailed for Boston aboard the S. S. Pan America, chartered to attend the football game at Cambridge (see p. 23). In the first three hours 148 bottles of champagne were consumed. By 3 a. m. the bar's supply of Scotch whiskey was exhausted, not by heavy guzzling but because some of the passengers, including Publisher Noble A. Cathcart of Saturday Review of Literature, were accused of hoarding. The ship's stewards asserted that more liquor was purchased that night than on five round trips to Bermuda, but the party was not rowdy. Next morning fog again bound the vessel off Cape Cod and it became apparent that it could not land in time for the game. Philosophically the passengers turned to Hochheimer wine. An electrician repaired the radio, wrecked the night before by a jealous accordion-player. Doubly disappointed was Walter J. Salmon who had elected to go to the game rather than watch his horse, Dr. Freeland, run in the $25,000 Maryland handicap at Bowie; and Nicholas ("Nick") Roberts, ardent Yaleman of Montclair, N. J. who had not missed a Yale-Harvard game in 30 years; and J. Murray Mitchell who was to have been host to a large luncheon-&-game party at Cambridge. (He had their tickets in his pocket.) But all gathered good-humoredly about the radios in the smoking room and afterdeck to hear the play-by-play reports. When the Hochheimer was gone the drinkers turned to rum, were finally reduced to gin before the S. S. Pan America returned to Manhattan having, as Author Elliott White Springs said, "sailed a wonderful game." Banker Harvey D. Gibson observed: "We didn't bargain for a long sea trip but we made one." Others aboard the floating grandstand: Reeve Schley, Waddill Catchings, Allan A. Ryan, Leonard Hanna, Rodman Wanamaker II, Mr, & Mrs, Austin Smithers.

Least disappointed in the end was Walter J. Salmon. His horse won the race. Held up in Chicago, robbed of his shiny expensive sedan and wallet containing $22, Lawyer Albert Fink of Chicago, counsel for Alphonse ("Snorkey") Capone, pleaded with the gunmen for money to get home on, got $5.

Thieves stole the limousine of Governor Oliver Max Gardner of North Carolina from the driveway of the executive mansion, drove it away-License No. 1, glittering State seal & all-in the direction of Virginia.

Baron Kylsant of Carmarthen, former chairman of Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. sentenced to jail for a year for sponsoring a misleading stock prospectus (TIME, Nov. 16), refused to eat or take exercise, was placed in an observation cell.

Funnyman Will Rogers sailed for the Orient with his friend Correspondent Floyd Gibbons to report the Manchurian hostilities. Said he: "Japan is going to hear the awfulest compliments, as I hear they don't stand for any wisecracks."

In the Lake Forest home of William Hamilton Mitchell, wealthy Chicago investment banker (Mitchell, Hutchins & Co.), a group of socialites dined, among them Mrs. Edward A. Cudahy, Jr., Mr, 6 Mrs, William McCormick Blair, Mrs, Louise de Koven Bowen Phelps, Ralph Mines, About 11 p. m. five gunmen burst in but the guests, playing backgammon, were not perturbed. Austin H. Niblack had just gone home and this, they thought, was some practical joke of his. They changed their minds when the bandits began to collect jewelry. While the robbers were at work Chauffeur William Matheson slipped to a telephone, in a whisper called police. Two officers arrived, were lined up with the victims by the gunmen who then lost their nerve, fled. The police gave chase, shooting and shot at, and recovered an overcoat containing nearly all the stolen jewelry, valued at $150,000. Three of the robbers were caught.

Ill lay: Ruth Hurley, 9, daughter of Secretary of War Patrick Jay Hurley, in
