No detatis—just the plain statement that it had been done. To the War Department the shooting down of an enemy plane ts just @ part of the day's work. But to the thousands of friends of Hobey Baker it announces the beginning of & now career that may be as great— with an ordinary share of good luck —as that of any of the famous alr- men of Canada, France, England or Maly. Hobev Baker has very unusual ad- vantages as a fighting man. He ts) one man in thousands—one of the| greatest athletes ever developed in American schools and colleges. When Hobevy wae at Princeton he was 4 famous football player, a groat baseball player, and rated top list In many other sports.

They grew until !t was ween that they were army planes One of the planen circled above the field, and spiralling down to a mod- erate height sailed slowly overhead and turned again to the north. “It's Baker,’ da megaphone cheer leader. “It's Hobey Baker.” | And so it was.
