Saturday, April 1, and steered out into Puget Sound on the first lap of her voyage to Far Eastern shores.And aboard her were 13 sturdy baseball warriors of Indiana University, Coach and Mrs. Levis, Dean and Mrs. Edmondson and the four soldiers of fortune, working their way to the Orient. The ship's orchestra played on deck until all the . passengers were safely aboard and the vessel was wellup the sound.Dock at Victoria.At 4 o'clock she docked at Victoria, and after taking on a vfew steerage passengers and a cargo of liquor, took for the Pacific, and by nightfall was far out of sight of land. Within a f6w hours the ship started rolling slightly, and it was not long until the first terrible feelings of sea sickness began to creep over the majority of the voyagers. Everyone was in bed early that first night, since that seemed the only way to avoid the inevitable. The sea was no better the next morning, and few of those who were boldenough to venture on deck were not able to remain long.That was the worst day, as far assickness was concerned. Dean Ed-#mondson, Bob Kidd and Mick Lynch were the only members of the party who escaped. The sea gradually kept getting rougher, but the boys began to get their sea legs, and by the timeIfour days had elapsed everyone was feeling fine.Pass Near Alaskan Coasts,••As the ship was taking the shorter northern route, we .passed within a short distance of the Alaskan coast about the fourth day out, and it is said that had the days been clear, the passengers would have been able to see the Aleutian Islands. It was terribly cold up there, with snow and sleet flying and the wind blowing a gale. The boys were slightly handicapped in their battle for perfect health by the fact that their cabins were situated on the lower deck for-ward, where the pitch and roll was more noticeable. After about five days out a storm was encountered, many sailors saying it was the worst they had ever seen on the Pacific with the exception of a typhoon.On the night of April 7-,-we crossed the 180th meridian, and at that time we skipped a day, making us one day ahead of the time in Bloomington. We have been losing about 45 minutes each night, so I have lost all track of the comparison between the time here and at home.A few days ago all the crew and those of the passengers who are going past Kobe, were vaccinated against Chinese diseases. It is said that disease is rife in China and that it is not safe to go ashore without being vaccinated. The ship stops at Yokohama, Kobe, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Manila. We will be a dayin the first two, two days in the next two, and five days hi Manila, and theTbaseweeoveiran|,ageigamwonT1DeltpoollasreacPro!trancisicwaswithshintubsqueehamcom:mixistewha 4 o'c para well crewwhoundetreai hardtreaimg 1marhearnamwaswariITcrew whic on I pass same withsame length of time coming back.‘GREEN BUT TOUGH,’ COACHtIP.DSAYS 0FT50PHER GRID1ENBoles Rosenthal, Former Bear Mentor, Sends 100 Line Candidates Thru Spring Work(By The Associated Press)Minneapolis, Minn,, May 8—“Green, but willing and awfully tough/' is the manner in which Boles Rosenthal, newly appointed line coach at the University of Minnesota, described the candidates for the 1922 football teamMeets Japanese Publisher.Yonezo Okamoto, a Japanese publisher who has lived 18 years in New York, has taken a great liking to the members of the party, and he offers to drop all his business responsibilities in Tokio to see that the pai'ty is royally entertained while in Japan.(He has promised to take me thru the largest newspaper office in Tokyo on the return trip.)A word about the four adventurers, Kaiser and I are serving as bellboys.
