Col. Royden E. Beebe Jr. of Burlington Vermont and Tampa Florida at 34 is one of the Army’s youngest full colonels. A command pilot and West Point graduate, Beebe rose to deputy chief of the air staff and director of operations after arriving in Australia. He is son of Brig. Gen. Royden Beebe and closely connected to Col. Demas Craw, a posthumous Medal of Honor recipient. The piece notes Beebe’s rapid ascent and ties to notable figures as of February 13, 1934.

Polo Rivalry Turns to Accidental Skirmish Near Scho Field
Beebe and Craw, once West Point polo teammates, clash in a dogged rivalry. After a midair collision at 12 000 feet and Beebe's escape from a jammed cockpit at 1900 feet, Craw bailed earlier at 9000 feet. Two weeks later Beebe knocks Craw from his horse with a Willow pellet during polo at Scho Field Barracks. Beebe, a field minded staff officer, notes they competed fiercely with little chance of lasting harm.
