Six Harvard flyers will take off Saturday morning for their part in the first New England Intercollegiate Air Meet which is to be held in Northampton. The Crimson airmen are favored to overcome the combined forces of M.I.T., Yale, Brown, Amherst, Williams, Norwich, and last but not least, Smith.

President Frank J. Swayze 2L expressed perfect confidence in the ability of the team to nose out Amherst, which presents the main threat, and Smith, which is rumored to have a number of expert flyers. It is not expected that the other colleges will figure heavily in the scoring.

The four events are to be contests in spot-landing, bomb-dropping, and balloon bursting, and a race of about ten miles. Wilbur L. Cummings '37 and Arthur W. Nelson '38 are favored to garner the first places in the spotlanding while George F. Fox, III '37 will probably take the ten mile race.

The members of the club will leave the East Boston Airport at 10 o'clock Saturday morning and fly in formation to Northampton for the meet at 2 o'clock. At least six planes will fly under Crimson colors, and a few more may join.

A bronze statue 30 inches high will be awarded to the winning club, and another prize will be given to the high-scoring pilot. The first three pilots will also receive individual medals.

The six pilots from Harvard are Cummings, John H. Bartol '36, Linn Bollinger 1GB, flying Fleets; Ignatius Sargent '37, flying a Mono Coupe; Fox, flying a Walker Cabin; and Nelson, with a Fairchild 22
