ONE KILLED;
2 INJURED
FATALITY MARS AUTO RACES AT
MORRIS PARK Y
Machine Going Sixty Miles an Hour
Dashes Through Fence and
Drivers Skull Is
Crushed

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2S.-In the first acci-
dent of consequence in the twenty-four
hours endurance automobile race at Nor
ris Park race track, one man was killed,
two persons perhaps fatally injured, and
score of others more or less bruised
today.
One OF the cars. while going over sixty
miles an hour, crashed through a fence
at the cstern turn of the track in the
thirteenth hour of the race. The car was
forty horse power Lozier. which was
being driven by Harry Smelzer of New
ark, N. ]. He was struck by heavy
timber and thrown from the machine.
When picked up it was found that his
skull was fractured and he died at the
Fordham hospital.
John Clark, a spectator, who was stand
ing near the fence when the machine
dashed through, was injured internally,
and boy named Fred Tape suffered a
fracture OF his leg and other injuries.
3mel2cr ard his partner, Linkrom, were
racing with another machine with which
they had Leen sprinting for half an hour.
Suddenly the tire on the front right
right wheel of the Lozier car, burst and
the auto swerved toward the fence at the
point where about 200 persons were lean
ing over tie rail watching the race. The
accident came with such suddenness that
they were unable to get away and fully
twenty Of them were knocked doUn and
painfully hurt.
Crowds rushed out on the track and it
was impossible for the police to hold
them in check Many had narrow es-
capes from being hit by cars that were
racing around the track, the race not
having been interrupted by the accident.
Driver Lipkrom, who was riding with
sJnelzer, escaped injury.
1t vus announced that the machine
probably could be repaired in few hours,
ard, If so, it will re-enter the race.

ing to their individual needs. Indoor in
struction will be given twice week, and
the same number of days will be devoted
to the outdoor work, including basketball,
volleyball, track and tennis stunts.
In the realm of basketball the univer-
sity has been fortunate in having regis
tered as regular stuoents coterie of the
finest basketball players of last years s
prep teams, who will no doubt be able to
secure the championship honors without
much opposition.
AS an essentially important beginning
the basketball squad will have as coach
Preston Osborne. the crack forward of
the Whittier college five, which team has
for the last two years annexed the col
lege championship and also stood second
in the champion series of the Southern
California Mems league.
Osborne has consented to instruct the
young ladies and will be a valuable
coach. AS for material plenty of expert

that caused the waiver OF the uudoupteo
condition of the race"
Sir Thomas vo.ubly thanked the clup,
accepted the conditions. and towed IN
Gains and raced. With the second Sham
rock, without saying anything to the
club or calling the explicit condition re-
garding precedents. he towed across IN
calms again and raced and the New YORK
Yacht club knew nothing of 1t until after
the first contest of the race was sailed
Nothing was done about It.
Then when the third Shamrock was
built, Sir Thomas again failed to corsult
the club regarding towing. and brought
his boat across and towed The whole way
In Gains and all other times and violated
one of the essential conditions of the race.
There were members of the New York
Yacht club who, when they heard of
this, were red hot and wanted to call
the race off. but the counsels of others
prevailed. They were told in effect this:
Gentlemen, you cannot call this race
off. The boat is here and you have got
to race. No matter If every condition OF
the contest has been violated you must
sail the races. If you do not you Will
never hear the end of 1t. All you can
do is race and win, and then remember
that concessions made were unappreci-
ated."
These are, some facts. There are still
others.
Fast Boats Under New Rule
The difference between the old rule and
the new is this:
The old rule measured boats on the
basis of water-line length and sail area,
adding the water-line length to the
square root of the sail area and-dividing
by two. Under this rule the water-line
length is the predominant feature and is
the factor by which the deed Of gift stip-
ulates the size of the boats. /.
The new rule ignores the water-lire
length. 1t measures the theoretical sail
ing length, measured one-quarter of the
beam from the middle of the boat and
one-tenth of the beam up from the
water.
To get speed 1t has not put stop to
light building. Queen, Effort, aurora,
Winsome, Istalena, Avenger, Gardenia.
built under the rule, are all extremely
light boats.
1t has been said that these boats are
extremely fast This is only measureably
true. Water line has long been consid-
cred as bearing a direct relation to speed.
1t is fact that Effort, which rates lower
than Nicola and Weetamoe, the old type
boats she races against. is 62 feet on the
water line, while the old boats that have
to give her time are only 81 feet long.
The new so-called 57-raters measure 65
feet on the water line and are not much
faster than the old boats of the 57-foot
length. Avenger. which has won most of
her races and has made the undoubted
hit of all the new boats. rates only at 4S,
yet is very nearly as long on the water
line as the old boats that rate at 81 and
have to give her tremendous allowances
of time OF course she Is handicapped by
her full body more than they are, but
there is no such difference in size as their
ratings indicate.
Nat Herreshoff, who ought to know,
says that Reliance could defeat new
boat built to the rule by ~nearly an hour
and half in forty-mile course, boat
for boat, both of 90-foot water line.

enough, in fact, to make two first-class

also be entered in the Woman's Basket
ball league in addition to the representa-
tive five in the collegiate federation.
| Among the prominent candidates for
positions on the college five are Anne
Shepherd, Ella Winstanley and Grace
Ford, three crack players who occupied
berths on the champion Los Angeles high
school team for the past two years.
Marlborough Stars on Hand
Marlborough school also contributed
to the number of stars now available for
the Methodist team Miss Katherine
Asher, generally considered the best
guard ever produced by the private school
club. will be on hand when the time
comes. The Taylor sisters from Long
Beach high have also registered for work
at the university, and with their repu-
tations of excellent playing on the beach
town five will add greatly to the per-
sonnel of the college aggregation.
In addition to this list of monogram
players, the Methodist squad will be
strengthened by the acquisition of Miss
Vera Brooke, who captained the Occiden-
tai college five last year and who has
enrolled for postgraduate work prepara-
tory to securing the regular teacher s
certificate from the state university.
AS a crowning contribution to this bevy
of distinguished players the university
will have as a nucleus of tried and true
players Miss Laura Woodhead, who was
a member of the all-southern five for two
wears, and who is considered the best
player in the position of forward in the
south, who will return in time tc re-ente1
the game; Miss Ethel Hogan, also an
all-southern star at forward, who was
out of the game for two years on account
of poor health, is again in fine fettle
for play and will make a strong bid for
her old position. Miss Alta Thornton, an
other all-southern player at center, as
mentioned will add her force to the
squad.
The schedule of games has not as yet
been arranged, as the big contests do not
come off until after the holidays. In the
meantime the varsity candidates will put
in two afternoons a week getting in
shape for more strenuous efforts later
in the year.

HTOMEN'S athletics, in all depart
wv ments of college sporting activi-
ties indulged in by the young la
dies, gives promise of splendid develop
ment at the University of Southern Cali
fornia this fall. The large enrolment of
girls at the Methodist institution and the
accompanying demands for participation
In all branches of physical culture. is an
earnest that the university will in all
probability have the most successful
period of athletic accomplishment In the
annals of the school.
The athletic authorities, rather antici-
pating an increase in the number of ap-
plicants for general physical instruction,
took time by the forelock. enlarged the
scope of the department of physical edu-
cation and effected the appointment of
several valuable additions to the corps
of instructors. Following their accus-
toned habit in the selection of faculty
acquisitions, the board of trustees finally
secured the services of Miss Edna Agnes
Cocks a young woman of charming per-
sonality and queenly mein of several
years active experience in athletics
gained while instructor of the women's
gymnasium at the Case School of APP
Piled Science of Yale university together
with additional knowledge gained as head
of the department of physical instruction
of the Kansas City high schools.
Miss Cocks will be associated with Prof.
Elsie Vanderpool in the gymnasium
branches and will shortly organize a
girls gym club for advanced instruction.
Miss Gertrude Comstock, professor in
charge of the outdoor department of
athletics, will also have an assistant in
the work this year, Miss Alta Thornton,
who has been a member of the girls
basketball five for three years.
