A young man wrote to q New York
dealer in sporting goods for pair

skates mentioning the length of his
foot was thirteen inches. This ap-
peared to be so extraordinary that it
provoked comment among the en-
ployes in the store, and there was a
general measuringof feet. The long

that to be in perfect proportion the
length of mans foot should be ex-
actly Is per cent. of his full stature.
Let's see. Take a six-foot man-that
means II inches; according to this
formula his foot should be 1913 inches
long. Our young friend proved to
be 6 feet 2 inches tall, or "a inches.
Fifteen per cent. of this would give
him a foot Ill inches long.

But mother put the pockets in,

same fireman, Jack Bethel, who was
killed last night. Mr.. Rippy has been
a faithful employe Of the Southern
Railway for thirty years.
Mail Clerk P. N. Pritchett of
Greensboro, was in the wrecked
coach at the time of the collision.
The coach was combination car,
with the front baggage compart-
ment empty. Mr.. Pritchett was
standing at the forward end of his
compartment asserting letters and
was knocked down upon his knees
by the part of the car that was crush
ed in. His right leg was wrenched
and his head hurt in several places,
but he was able to crawl out of the
car. When the fire started he got
all the letters and papers out and
put them in a safe place.
The colored porter of the pas
senger train, Jesse Graves of Green's
boro, was painfully hurt in an arm
and leg and will probably be un-
able to walk for several days.
Baggage Clerk, Zach Hamilton Of
Greensboro, was fortunately riding
in the second class car when the col
lision came and came off with only
few bruises. He said that the emer-
gency brakes partly stopped the pas
senger train, and prevented the
coaches from telescoping.
Robert Wells, of Greensboro, news
butcher, received small cut OH the
head and a few bruises on the
leg.
THE ORDERS.
Conductor G.. M. Oakley of Green's
boro, frankly admitted that he over
looked his orders to meet No. 173 at
Auburn. Engineer Rippy also said
that he forget the instructions and
ran on by the station.
THE DEAD.
Fireman w. J. Bethel was the only
one among those killed, whose body
was recovered. He was found be-
side the track on the right hand side
of his engine, in pool of water that
had escaped from the demolished
tenders. Baggage clerk Hamilton
and others took the body up the
bank and placed it in a clump of
bushes near the water tank. The
man was perfectly dead when taken
out. | was walking about in the
dark and stumbled over the body.
Securing a lantern, l found the
mans face covered with coal dust
and cut in several places. His left
hand was cut almost through with a
large piece of flesh gone, and it ap-
peared that many internal injuries
had been sustained.
Bethel was about thirty-five years
old and leaves a wife and four chill
dren in Greensboro. He was trust
ed enploye Of the Southern for
many years. He was with Mr.. Rippy
at the time Of the Walnut Creek
wreck 1908, and stuck to his engi-
neer as long as his life lasted.
Engineer w. C. Parker of Spencer,
and Fireman Young of Greensboro,
whose first name was not learned,
were both killed, and their bodies
consumed in the fire which broke
out soon after the collision.
Mr.. Parker is a widower of thirty
five, and has two small children in
Spencer. He took the run last night
for Engineer Freeland of Selma,
who was booked for the run, but for
some reason did not take it.
Fireman Young, a white man,
twenty-four years of age, of Lexing
ton, was a new man on the Durham
division, who had only recently taken
the run.

Bitter, But Not Conclusive.

President Eliot, of Harvard, has
apparently in no way lessened his
animosity toward intercollegiate
sports OF a certain kind, and more
especially the great and inspiring
American game of football. His an
nual report, the athletic portion Of
which was made public in mid
week news reports, shows pretty
conclusively that his opposition, in
so far as it remains words only, is
not to be overcome by any mere
changing of rules or by any other
minor alterations that can be made
in the game and its conduct.
According 20 this eminent head of
great American university, foot
ball is a fierce thing, and remains
an undesirable game for gentlemen
to play, or for multitudes of spec
tators TO watch" hockey and bas-
ketball are undesirable; cheering
at intercollegiate contests is 'absO-
lutely unnatural" and money spent
TO see great games is wasted"
This is a pretty severe Indictment,
but the point that interests Harvard
students and the majority of her
alumni, we take it, is what practical
effect President Eliot's bitterness
Will have on intercollegiate games.
In this regard, his report is not con-
elusive. Even the recommendation
that Harvard play but two games a
season with other colleges in each
branch of sport seems hardly Wig
oroUs enough to make its way with
the Overseers this year. Changes
are surely coming in the Crimson
athletic affairs, but how soon is not
yet known.
