T oNDoN, Nov; 15:-If there is any
q woman in the United States who
AA@ thinks she can equal or better
the record of nearly 100 miles an hour
in an automobile, she will now have the
chance to win the title of world g
champion woman automobilist. Miss
Dorothy Levitt of London at present
claims. the title and has many prizes,
won in various races, both in cars on
the other day she eclipsed all women>s
records at, sBlackpool, by twice doing
the flying kilometer in exactly the
same time-24 3-5 seconds, which ap-.
proaches 100 miles an hour. :. RI

me. "Please issue challenge to

only two real racing cars over here
the 200 horsepower Darracq, now the
property Of D.. Guinness, and my 90

sold to South American millionaire.
It goes to Brazil in few days. But
if my challenge is accepted in America,
I will build a new racer: It will be a
80 horsepower, for I think I can handle
that best. -

The public naturally has an idea as

Of its other poverty in public buildings,

EASY FOR YALE SEVEN
Neso-HdUen Skaters Beat Columbia
In Rough Hockey Game.

In al intercollegiate hockey game, played at
St Nicholas Rink last night, the Yale seven de-
feated Columbia, 10 O. It was called hockey
game, but judging from the play IL could better
be described "shinney," for II was a ragged
exhibition OF the Canadian sport that the teams
put up The spectators were more amused IN
watching the scraps between the players when
the referees back was turned than in the
actual play.

and seemed unable to get together TO do any
effective work. Occasionally Behr. Marcus and
A..S would make dashes down the rink, and
ou.y the work Of BRstOn IN goal prevented them
from scoring. This mans work between the
posts was the only redeeuing feature Of the
play
Columbia made several changes in its lineup
IN the second half but did not profit thereby.
Mckenzie took Bradys place. Jackson replaced
Willis at cover point. and Barlow took Jack
sons place on the forward line
Yale opened with several hard shots on goal.
and IL was great work on the part Of Easton
that prevented points. Jackson then had q good
chance to score, as he received the puck when
directly IN front OF the net, but his shot
wide. Behr finally got q goal when after good
team work with Marcus he got in on the nets
and easily scored He repeated this two min
utes later, after cleverly lodging his opponents
ana making a nice shot which slid BY EastOn.
The Columbia forwards then got started down
the Ice together, but were so slow that the Yale
forwards overlook them and spoiled the best
chance they had OF scoring as Armstrong was
