IOWA HITS TRAINING TABLE
Board OF Control Approves Action

IOWA CITY, Ia, Dec. A-(SpeciaI)-Un-

to the rules Of the organization.
At a meeting held this week the Univer-
sity OF Iowa board in control of athletics

Though local sentiment among the students
favors the training table the stand must
necessarily be against 1t, for such is the
decree Of the Big Eight. If Kansas, Ne

will again be in vogue among these schools

In case three Of the member of the
conference notify the officers of their
negative action to the training table, aDol-
ishment It is probable, that Drake uni

Demarest had to accept two zeros. but

Some OF the inventors have risked the
small fortunes on their flying machines,

among them who would not be willing to
try II all over again. He is sure It woHd

Mr.. Kimball was the sole inventor on the
ground. He had built a helicopter which
gave great promise, but never made good
After several attempts to get into the air
It went to smash.
Then Mr.. Kimball constructed a biplane
that eventually met the same fate, He is
at present engaged on a third machine.
Stanley Y. Beach and Gustav Whitehead
built an aeroplane with which they hoped
to win the $500 prize offered by the pro-
motors Of the aeronautic exhibition held
at Arlington, N. ]. 1t proved a perfectly
good aeroplane with the exception Z t II
failed to fly. T%hereupon the inventors fell
out.
Aeronaut Beach was convinced that the
mistake was in making the machine a bi-
plane. He insisted it should have been a
monoplane. Aeronaut Whitehead was sat
isfied that the whole trouble was that they
had not quilt a triplane.

started legal proceedings to recover the
engine. Mr.. Whitehead vowed that he
would never, never give It up until Mr.
Beach consented to build a triplane. lie
kept his vow for a week, but then his reso-
luton broke down. He sent for his former
partner and told him he could have the
engine and build a monoplane or any other
kind Of plane he wanted to.
The engine arrived, and Mr.. Beach tried
out his new scheme, and still his invention

ievoting themselves to this great In
vention.
In the vicinity Of Mr.. Pickard's house
1t the old Poet Whittier place IN
Amesbury, there are great many
young men whose ambition to learn
something about wireless telegraphy
Is so great that most of the hours OF
the day they are experimenting with
instruments of their own construction
After the young experimenters 90
to their beds the experiments OF the
scientists can be tried, but the inter
cal Of freedom is not long one, for
early in the morning the enthusiasts
are at It again.
Mr.. Pickard has been in communi.
cation from his wireless station with
Clifton, Ireland, and has had many
messages from across the water. He,
rs well as other wireless experts, has
found out that the old idea OF placing
a wireless station on some high hill
Is not necessary; in fact, 1t is better,
he says, to locate the station at sea
level.
Il has also been ascertained that
much better work can be done at night
than during the day. Just why this is.
no one seems to be able to tell, but
It Is undoubtedly true. Messages can
be sent double and treble the distance
after dark than during the daylight
hours and the later at night the work
Is done the better success seems to
attend the experiments and efforts.
Mr.. Packard is devotlng himself now
TO the perfection Of several importent
inventions in connection with wireless
telegraphy and does not use the appa-
1 ratus connected with his laboratory as
much as formerly and now only for
purposes Of experimenting with his in

Although he has patented many
things. Mr.. Packard Is not aware OF
what becomes of all Of his inventions.
