NEWS ABOUT FLYING AT HOME AND ABROAD
calm of Aviation Events Are CrOweIing
Thick and Fast.
I'm the Realm

Washington, D. C.-Events in the
realm of aviation are crOwding thick
and fast. On the same day Orville
Wright made a new aeroplane record
at Fort Myer, Hubert Latham made
an almost successful attempt to cross
the English Channel.
Again the motor of the French avi-
ator failed, and this time at criti-
cal moment Five hundred yards
from the English coast the engine
stopped and he fell into the sea. This
second failure may disappoint, but
will hardly discourage, such a plucky
man.
At Washington Mr.. Wright sue
ceeded in making a new record for
fight with passenger. In the pres
ence of President Taft and distin-
guished company he flew with Lieu
tenant Lahm almost an hour and
thirteen minutes, thus fulfilling the
terms of the Government contract in
respect to duration. During this per-
iod he comprised distance fully
double that between Calais and Dover.
That shows the meaning of this splen-
did performance.
DESCRIPTION OF WRIGHT MACHINE
The machine used by the Wrights
at Washington consists of two planes,
one FIVE feet above the other, and
measuring thirty-six feet from tip to
tip. The seat for the operator is
placed in the centre of the lower
plane, off to the left of the motor.
The passenger sits on the other side
nf tha motor
The motor itself is a product OF the
Wright brothers, four-cylinder,
thirty horsepower, water-cooled gas
oline engine. The gasoline is pumped
directly into the intake pipes, there
being no carbureters.
The tips of the planes are flexible
for the space of about twelve feet.
BY means of a lever they can be
turned in a curve, resembling hello
cold, the wings moving in opposite di-
rections. A second lever controls the
twin rudders, which are supported by
a brace ten feet from the rear of the
planes. BY working the two levers
together the equilibrium of the ma
chine is maintained.
Ten feet in front of the operator S
seat two planes resembling a box kite
about fifteen by three feet are used
for controlling the ascent and descent.
Two propellers about nine feet in di-
ameter and revolving in opposite di-
rections are used to thrust the aero
plane forward.
The weight of the machine, includ-
ing both operator and passenger, Is a
trifie under 1900 pounds.

NO HUGCTNG
in BASKETBALL
Collegiate Body Decides That
ii Tends to ROUghneSS

More than thirty representatives
from nearly all the institutions in the
East in which basketball is played ac-
cording to the collegiate rules met in
a conference with the basketball rules
committee IN the Columbia University
gymnasium yesterday afternoon.
All the changes which have been
made in the rules since last season
were carefully gone over and explained
by Harry Fisher Of Columbia; w. b.
Hyatt. Of Yale; Lieutenant J. w. still
we'll, Of West Point. and Ralph Nor
gan. of Pennsylvania, who took turns
i'm illustrating the rules. The various
captains, coaches. managers and off,
ciais discussed the changes and offered
suggestions.
An effort has been made TO reduce
and eliminate the roughness which has
crept into the game. and special legis-
lation has been directed this year
against personal contract in the game
Hereafter men win be supposed ia
follow the ball more closely and give
up the close hugging system Of guard
ing that has brought the game into
disrepute. In trying to get after the
/ bail the players must now strike at the
ball II they want 20 get il away from
the opposing player. and not at the
man, as many players have done IN the
past.
KID Keinath who Is coaching the

nounced as his opinion that the
changes in the rules would result in q
reduction IN the scoring and that the
/ game would correspondingly lose II
interest from the spectators point Of
view He said that the spectators
preferred plenty of shooting, and with
the guards having the advantage over
the forwards. as will be the case under
the changed rules, scoring viii b.
small.
In order 20 prevent unnecessary de-
lay a team may ask for time only
three times in each half, and nc
/ further time win be allowed. even
when q man is injured OF forced e
leave the game for some other reason
Another change is that when a player
touches the boundary line he will be
called out Of bounds. instead of wher
he puts one foot entirely out Of the
court az the old rule stated. When the
ball is returned from out Of bound:
without being touched by player 4
is considered dead.
A lot of time was taken up in dis
cussing a proposed rule forbidding Z
player TO make a leap or take Ions
step before dribbling. passing o.

was modified so that the ball has {,
