DRUNKEN CHAUFFEUR
ALMOST KILLS
JOY RIDERS

When DR.. Stenton celebrated his
birthday Yesterday he had no idea that
he would be called upon to act as
hero, but such was, nevertheless, the
case.
The doctor gave a select dinner party
to a few friends and decided to top
off the evening with a large automo-
bile ride. Forthwith he engaged a
Midland machine and the party was
soon driving at a merry pace through
the boulevards. The doctors attention
was called to the chauffeur's reckless
speed and upon close examination ne
found the driver to be in an inebrlateo
condition. In fact, he was boozed to
the limit AS the machine turned
corner it missed a telegraph pole by
hair, and at this time the doctor made
up his mind to take a hand. He acted
none too soon, for as he grabbed the
spark plug and lessened the machines
speed, it was headed for a broken por-
ton of the road which would bave been,
in all probability very fatal to the JOY
riders. BY this time the chauffeur be-
gan to act strangely and resisted the
doctors interference in q very obnox-
ious manner. The chauffeur had con-
sumed such an abundance of booze
that it seemed to take away all his
senses, but by the aid of the doctors
companions he was soon under con-
troll and the party drove down Grand
avenue to the Gatlin Institute, where
the "merry" chauffeur was placed at
once under treatment and brought to
his senses. DR.. Stenton said: 81 have
had this chauffeur many times before
and he is a good man and knows his
business, but booze got the best of him
so I thought l would take him to the
Gatlin Institute and have him remain
there and take the cure for three days,
and that will probably keep him on the
water wagon hereafter

Los Angeles herald., 1910-11-22

Four men were tied for fourth place
in the high jump, and according to
past methods in conference meets each
athlete will get one-fourth of a point.
Illinois gets two of the quarters, L. l..
Washburn and J. Ritchie having been
in the tie. This gives illinois fourteen
and one-half points, but does not
change its position. w. Crawley of
Chicago draws one-fourth of a point,
making the maroon total thirteen and
one-fourth, without making any
change in the standing. e. Mitchell
of the Washington university of St.
Louis gets the other quarter and puts
Washington on the list Of those de-
serving honorable mention, the quarter
point being all the st. Louis school
drew.
Despite the stories which have come
out of Notre Dame regarding the plans
that school had for preventing the loss
of first place, nothing official has been
heard by the conference heads, and If
there are any plans afoot the Notre
Dame authorities are content to keep
them under cover for while. 1t was
said some time ago that Notre Dame
bility against Dimmick and Philbrook
and the withdrawal of the fourteen
points they made from Notre Danes
total, but it has not been done so far.
Regarding the report that Notre
Dame would protest Nelson of Wash
ington State university and ask that
he be declared ineligible on the same
grounds which cost Dimmiek and
Philbrook their places, Notre Dame
has not yet acted Since the story
was printed however, number of
local men prominent in athletics have
come out and said they had heard the
Indiana school was considering such
action, the news having come from a
former Notre Dame student who was
supposed to be in position to speak
with considerable authority.
Should Notre Dame make and win
the contention against Nelson, there
would be another shakeup in the
standing and Notre Dame would at
least get a taste of first place, as
Wasson would get first place in the
100-yard dash, which was won by Mel
son, and Notre Dame would tie with
Leland Stanford for the lead, with
seventeen points. The other points
would go to Miami, Mccoy having fin
ished third in the "100"; Wisconsin,
as Richards would get first in the 220-
yard dash, which was won by Nelson,
and Minnesota, as Hill would go to
second place in the 1920"
Third place in these two events
would never be decided unless the lone
point in each case would be divided
among those athletes in the final heat,
but did not place. and even this would
not have any effect on the standing.
The best Notre Dame can possibly
hope for is a tie in case Nelson's per-
forTnances would be thrown out. AS
the matter now stands, Leland stan
ford athletes are the western confer
ence champions of 1910.
The final standing would be as fol-
lows:
