NO GAME WITH VANDERBILT.
Michigan Likely TO Drop Struggle With
Southerners in 1912.

Nashville Tenn. Dec. 2S-Pros-
poets for a Vanderbilt Michigan game
on Dudley field next season are con-
siGered SO slim here that the game
may practically he considered an i'm
possibility. This is due to the fact
that Michigan has decided to drop a
game from her schedule and will not
have the opportunity to make the
southern trip, although the officials
would be glad to see another game
with the Commodores. There is no
chance that Vanderbilt will be able
TO go to Ann Arbor the Harvard trip
being all that they VIII be able TO
handle next season, and, therefore,
the games committee at Vanderbilt is
busy looking for another good game
IN Nashville.
The fact that Michigan cannot come
here means that there is little more
probability Of the University OF Vlr-
gnia game. II is a recognized fact
that the local football followers are
demanding better games than can be
found in this territory and Virginia
looks like the next best game. now
that Michigan is practically out of
the question.

JAps AS MARArAoNERs.
In Try Out Nearly 400 Went Full Dis
tance of Trying Race.

According to reports from Tokyo,
Japan, the athletic authorities there
have started their tryouts for tho
olympic games in Sweden next year.
The frst event to be tried by the laps
was the Marathon, and 1t Is said that
a string of nearly 400 went over the fun
classic distance Of 20 miles 3S5 yards.
Although the account of the race
carefully omits the name of tho win
ner, ii did rot fail to mention that the
winner bea; the record by eleven min
u,es.
Since the Olympic revival there have
been five big Marathons-that is, those
in connection with the Olympic games
The best three made so far is , hours
81 minutes 20 2-5 seconds. and this
was made On the original course, from
the village Of Marathon to the Stadium
at Athens. in 1906. The runner was
Sherring OF Canada.
For the Jap to run II minutes faster
than sherring's mark is a highly meri-
torious feat, and II he should repeat it
at Stockholm he will bear watching.
| on the books, the fastest time for the
classic distance by an amateur is
hours SO minutes 26 1-5 seconds by
Matt Maloney, on Dec. 26, 1908, and IL
Is noteworthy as being the worlds
best mark.
The critics have it. Of course. that
there was something queer. about the
measurement Of the course. but Malo-
lney ran a very fine race indoors in the
amateur Marathon. and 1t is just pos
sible that his race on the record day
was all right Should it be possible
that IL was Maloney's mark the Jap

then it would be as wei for our long
distance wonders to stay at home
from Sweden for on form, they would

lvanced for so early trials by the Jap
anese is that the men who turn out to
be the best win. from now on, receive
a special course of training at the eX-
lpense of the government.

CHAPTER XXI.
In the Pilot House.

Cayley had been right In assuming,
as he did in his conversation with
Jeanne, upon the subject, that Roscoe
and the other people of the Walrus
had never noticed the ice chimney nor
suspected the existence OF the pilot
house upon the cliff-head. Also, he
had followed correctly the track Of
Roscoes mind In the deduction that
the two latest castaways upon this
land-that is, Philip and Jeanne
must have persisted in the great storm
which began on the night when he
fired the hut, and continued for so
many weeks that he, like them, lost
all trace of reckoning.
During the storm he had lived In
the cave, much as Philip and Jeanne
had lived in the pilot house on the
cliff; he had, that is to say, in some
purely automatic fashion. kept on ex-
listing. The mere momentum of a ma
ture mans vitality makes 1t hard for
him to die. But when the storm
abated and milder weather came, he
bestirred himself, as Cayley did, and
set about digging a tunnel OF his own
through the great drift which had
blocked the entrance TO his cave.
The next time the moon came up,
after he had completed the tunnel
from the cave, he set out down the
beach toward the ruins of the hut.
1t was not mere curiosity which
attracted him. nor any lurking fear,
but simply the hope Of making some
salvage from the wreckage OF the hut,
or possibly, from the bodies Of his two
victims, in case he was lucky enough
to find them. He had no doubt at all
that they were dead.
His pleasure over the quantity and
condition of the stores he found In
the ice cave compensated for his
disappointment over not finding the
bodies of his two latest victims.
Evidently they had not even at
tempted to use such shelter as the Ice
chamber afforded. for it showed no
mark of human habitation at all. They
had probably wandered outside and
died in one of the nearby drifts. Per
haps he would find them some DAY
For the present, however. the stores
occupied his whole attention.
Very methodically he set to worK.
carrying them off to his own cave,
working without fatigue and without
ermission-working so long as the
moonlight lasted.
He was lust setting out with bis last
load when, glancing skyward to see
how long the light would hold ne
caught a glimpse of Cayley on the
wing. The sight occasioned him no
return-not even momentary-of the
old terror. He cursed q little because.
