k f | | WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1927 BYRD POPULAR AS SCHOOLBOY, TEACHERS SAY Entered Virginia Military School, But Later Went to Naval Academy Lexington, Va. June 29.—(>)— They called him “Dick” and “Dicky, and knew him as an all-round 3 dent in classes, military affairs and athletics when Commander Richard Evelyn Byrd, the daring flyer, was a cadet at Virginia Military Institute. More than that, he was a _ pet “rat"—which is the same as plebe at West Point and Annapolis — of the barracks and enjoyed extreme popularity. Byrd entered V. M. I. with the class that graduated in 1908, but after two years accepted an ap- pointment to the Naval Academy, and while waiting for a vacancy at- tended the University of ini “Dick was a very man when “he entered,” Charles Paul, of Roanoke, Va., a member of the class of 1907, recalls. “He took everything coming to him as a ‘rat’ in fine spirit y-and the lot of a ‘rat’ is a hard bne.” Ready to Fight On one occasion, however, Dick took exception to a slurring remark about his size from a third class- man, Paul says, and everything was set for a fight on the banks of North -River when upper-classmen intervened. Dick was more disap- pointed than anyone else, but had the satisfaction of not hearing any further remarks about his size. Dick and I were on the gymna. sium team together for two years,” John E, Doyle, of Norfolk, Va., lates. “He handled hintself beauti. fully on the apparatus and was especially agile and accomplished as a tumbler. Though small in size, he was wiry and afraid of no stunt, no matter how difficult.” Byrd would “try anthing,” accord- ing to Colonel R. Burclay Poague chairman of the committee on ath leties, and impressed all who came in contact with him with his courage. Colonel Henry C. Ford, who taught both history “and English while Byrd was in the school, told him he had a promisine career us a writer. Did Well in Class well, in elas ays Col- Mallory, professor there is’ one thing ; me _ particularly. When he left the institute, in spite ef al) the bustle and confusibn at the end of the season, he took the trouvie to come and bid me good- bye und thank te for the help I had given him in class. iti editor of The to the M. L weekly newspaper, | Brown, of Birney, Mont., a! ate of Byrd's, relates “You probably know of the cave ed ubout two miles west of small stream flowing past barracks), At the’ time hen we were cadets, very few had ached the end of the cave, but tha it had an end we were assured by sor Pendleton. “Filled with determination to reach the end, four of us, Dicky tyrd, John Crittenden, Edward Tay- lor and I, spent cach Sunday for weeks working out one passage and} then another, “Blocked for a while by a seem- i impassable bit of crevasse, we ally made a way around it, to a place we thought for a while was the end of the cave, It was the end of one passage, but here a hole no larger than a man went down at an angle of more than 45 degrees. “Into this, head first, went Dick Ryrd, and once started there was no turning back, That wet limestone was slick as glass. Four wet, very muddy cadets went down the long side, one after another, into we knew not what, but what proved to be a large and rather beautiful passage, ending iy a blank wall and our ad- venture.” AMERICA AND CREW OF FOUR ON THEIR WAY (Continued from page one) when there had been newspaper no- tices that a flight might be expected, Not more than 25 automobiles were parked on the field at any time and the crowd that pressed agai the police lines around the incline numbered probably not more than 300, The three young children of Theodore Rosevelt were on hand with their parents and cheered with shrill, joy. as “Uncle Commander Dick,” as they ¢all Byrd, shot down the runway on his great adventure. Acosta at Controls Acosta was at the controls on the take-off and Byrd was in the navi- gator’s cabin with Noville and Bal- chen. 1 After the plane had left and while newspaper telegraph wires were chat- tering with accounts of the take-off in the hangar, the spectators stood about in groups on the field discuss, ing the hop-off and speculating on the flyers’ chances for success. It was generally agreed that the man who commanded the first plane ever to fly over the North Pole would; have no great difficulty in following an_air trail that has already been twice blazed. ‘The América was brought to Roos! yelt Field from the Fokker facto: in.

Speed Not Important Byrd stressed repeatedly through- out the long wait to etart that speed was not of prime importance, as he was not trying for any prize nor try- ing to beat any record. “Lindbergh was an entrant for the Orteig prize,” he said. “And Cham- berlin and Levine were trying for a distance record. But this flight is for purely scientific conditions and} it would be foolish to lessen our chances of finding out what we want to know by rushing away to a hur- ried start.” Byrd hopes to learn many facts concerning the general rules by which it is believed winds over the| ocean are governed for the use of! future transoceanic aviators, Despite his repeated assertions that he was in no hurry, however, it was generally believed that Byrd left when he did today at least partly because he felt he was losing pres- tige. It became known that he was! receivine in recent days many sarcas- | tic letters and telegrams concerning the delays of his flight and it was thought these migMt have carried | enough weight with him to tip the balance in favor of a take-off when the weather became fairly favorable.

From Brayhead to Paris, the distance is 594 miles, Future Plans Unannounced Commander Byrd left without any further information concerning his plans after reaching Paris. It has been variously rumored that he in-| tends to fly back, that he will con- tinue around the world, and that he will fly to several other countries | after landing ‘at Le Bourget Field.
