While Caldwell was at the helght of his toothall career, a Providence news- paper carried the story that he had played on the Brown freshman team against the Dartmouth freshman team in 1923 and the Yale athletic authorities promptly barred him. This cauged an unprecedente sation in college ranks but despite the many objcctions from powerful university am on frionds and alumni, the rule was upheld and Caldwell was barred from the Princeton and Ha 1 games.

Some of the 10,000 United States soldiers and sailors who took part in the greeting may have projected their minds back to the days of 1918, but former animosities were forgotten, New York turned out en masse to honor the valiant aviators, Lower Broadway from the Battery to Ninth street was packed with people. Fifth Avenue as far up as Central Park was crowded from curb to building tronts. The program for the Bre- men fliers was even more elaborate than the one arranged for the home- coming of Lindbergh last summer. Accompanied by Grover Whalen, chairman of the mayor's reception committee, the fliers left the Ritz- Cariton hotel at 10:45 a. m. An escort of motorcycle policermen cut a path for the official car through the dense crowd between the hotel and the North River pler where they boarded the Macom, the city's wel- coming tug for their trip down the river to the Statue of Liberty., Mob Scenes Enacted | The trip across town to the pier igave the fliers a taste of what was in store for thcm. Miniature moh scenes were enacted as spectators fought with each other and with police for points of vantage. Torn paper rained down from the apper stories of skyscrapers along the way. Cheering followed In the wake of the roaring motorcycles. Pages from Gideon Bibles and tele- phone dircctories were found among debris that had been thrown down trom hotel windows.
