An uneven collection of wartime sports and military items mentions Frenkie Marind and a BOE race, a 1844 model car, jerseys and size comparisons, a Winter Campaign in Dallas with a $15,553 War Bond goal, and tours through cities including San Francisco and New Orleans. It also notes Arnie Herber possibly trying out with the Giants, Dodgers considering Mexico, a Pensacola naval match at Camp Blanding, and a promotion to corporal for training officer candidates, ending with a quip on dynamometers and corn and eggs.
