famous Carlisle Indians play the

The following Saturday will find the
game on in earnest, when teams
throughout the country viii be doing
battle.
M~artinsburg in the past few years
has not had a strong football team,
and ii is now up to the secretary OF
the Y. M. c. A. to place g good team
in the field.
It will be remembered that last win
ter the association had a strong bas-
ket bail team, the peer of any in the
Valley and there is no reason why a
football team Of The same calibre can
not be organized.
With Athletic Field for the games
and a large number OF football enthus-
lasts in the city, there is no reason
why it can not be made a paying
proposition fer the association.
There is plenty OF good material in
Martnsburg, quite a number who have
played the game, and with a good
coach to lead them. a strong team can
be organized, and good games wit
messed.

OFFICERS WILL TEST
VALUE OF AIRSHIP
Enthusiasts in Signal Corps Believe 1t Can BE Used
To Garry Ammunition Wilbur Wright
Expected to Arrive Soon

Practical demonstrations Of what may
be expected Of the aeroplane as on en-
CINE Of war will be given by of8oers
Of the Signal Corps soon after tney
have been taught the intricacies Of the
machine.
Wilbur Wright is expected in ash
ington in a few days to teach officers
Of the Signal Corps how to operate his
flying machine Lieutenants Lahm and
Fulois will be the first officers to re-
ceive instructions from the inventor
Both Of them have already flown in
the machine. and have watched its prog
ress from the moment it was unpacked
at Fort Myer until it broke all records
for endurance.
These are the officers who, after they
have learned TO operate the machine,
will experiment with a view to ascer-
tanning to what uses the aeroplane is
best fitted for service in the army.
There is a theory among some of the
officers in the Signal Corps that the
machine can be used only for recon
nOitering purposes, but such enthusiastic
aviatOTs as Lahm and F'ulois express
the opinion that the machine will dem
Onstrate its usefulness by carrying am
munitiOn.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-08-11

Experiments along these lines will he
made at College Park in the near flu
ture. They are of particular interest
10 the navy and will be watched closely
by Lieutenant Sweet, who has been as
signed by the Secretary OF the Navy
TO the aeroplane board. The navy is in
terested TO learn whether il would be
possible for a flying machine to fly
over the deck of a battleship and drop
a charge of dynamite or nitro-glycerin
to the deck below. There is the con-
Jentlon on The one hand that il cannot
be DONE due largely to the fact that
the ship in the water and the atrship
would be moving al different rates of
speed, and that in order to escape gun
fire the flying machine would have to
travel so high in the air that its opera
tors could not drop anything with any
great degree OF accuracy.
The problem has intere sted the Sig
nal Corps and within a few weeks the
officers viii endeavor to solve ii by
carrying dummy charges slOft and en-
deavomng 10 drop them on a given spot
It is not improbable that several
changes will be made in the machine.
Iteutenants Fulois and Lahm made a
number of changes IN the Baldwin diri-
gible and il has been noted that F'ulois
has been making elaborate drawings Of
the aerOplane now owned by the Gov
ernmept.
