The accident was not due to any structural failure in the plane.

The University of Miami will experience a banner year during the scholastic year 1931-32, according to preliminary returns on registration. Figures for Thursday showed a total of 525 regularly registered full-time students. Complete records will not be available for twq weeks at least, but the Hurricane has gathered enough information to prove that the faculty and the downtown backers of the university were right in being optimistic about this year’s prospects.
The number of students registered to date exceeds last years total of the same date by 26 percent. Registration has not yet
