AVIATOR'S MISHAP
Capt. Paul Beck Starts Out to Fly to
Annapolis But Engine Goes Wrong

Birdmen have mishaps like the rest
of humanity, and Capt Paul Beck.
the Army officer who started out Sat-
urday afternoon to fly to Annapolis
from College Park, failed to reach
here and met with several mishaps on
the way.
Captain Beck became bewildered
in mid-air, and with his engine gone
wrong, was uncertain of his where
abouts. On descending to the ground
he found himself near Orange Grove,
in Howard county. miles away from
the route he had proposed to follow.
He received a shock. but was not SER
iously hurt, and his machine was
slightly damaged.
After spending the night at the
home of Mr.. Leonidas lowering, he
returned to College Park yesterday
morning. 1t was the purpose of Cap
tain Beck to repeat, and if possible,
to surpass the feat of Lieutenant
Rodgers, who flew from this city to
College Park on Thursday. Weather
conditions being favorable, Beck be-
lieved he could not only traverse the
forty miles, but could make the return
trip, and be back at College Park in
an hour and half after starting.
But weather conditions were not
favorable. So dense was the ether
that he could see but few feet about
him. But Captain Beck had his nerve
with him. and, remembering the
achievement of Lieutenant Rodgers
he determined to make the trip at all
hazards. Faster and faster he flew,
the damp, cold air whistling about
him. He had reached a speed of 40
or so miles an hour when he sudden
ly realized that he was above un-
familiar ground.
Rushing through space at nearly a
mile minute, he strained his eyes
trying in vain to scan the landscape
beneath him and discover some famil-
lar landmark by which he could get his
bearings. The hazy atmosphere had
led him astray and he was off the main
line. Keeping firm grip on the
steering gear, Captain Beck leaned
forward in order to get better view
of the landscape. There was a snort,
queer cling of the engine and the
aviator knew that something was
wrong.
He swung around quickly, but it
was too late. The aeroplane was
careening and descending at rate
that was far from comfortable. The
aviator realized the danger of the
situation, but his head was cool and
his grip firm. Quickly and surely he
applied the brakes and began to de-
scend. Before the machine fell he
was close enough to the ground to
avert serious injury.
Scraping a barb wire fence and
knocking the aviator from his perch,
the machine struck the ground. Stun
ned and shocked Captain Beck lay
quiet moment and then slowly arose.
He found himself unhurt, except for
decided buzzing in his ears, and his
chief concern was for the aeroplane.

ARMY-NAVY GAME
Football Conflict To Take Place Nov.
25-PrObably At Princeton

Ii may be regarded as definitely set
tied that the Army-Navy football
game will take place this year on No
vember %, instead of December ,. as
had been understood. The location
will probably be Princeton. though
this has not been finally settled.
In agreeing to play on the Saturday
before Thanksgiving Day instead Of
the Saturday after, the Navy has
acquiesced in the wishes of the Army.
which has always desired the earlier
date. The agreement, however, covers
the one year only, and is in the nature
of an experiment. The Navy was
more disposed TO yield the point, as
the Saturday after Thanksgiving
comes on such a late date this year.
1t was stated that the fixing of
the date so early was the controlling
reason for taking the game away
from Franklin Field, rather than a
question of tickets. As the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania will not have
completed its own season by that
date, the grounds could not be put
at the disposal of the service teams
and their friends.
Practice for the fourth class squad
will begin in earnest this afternoon.
Seventy-five fourth classmen, about
third of the class, have reported The
best will be culled from these. and
the balance will form the squad for
the fourth class team. The latter
team will play the other class elevens
and also have several outside games.
Ensign Douglas Howard, head coach.
and Field Coach Frank Wheaton will
assume charge of the new men this
afternoon

ALAUCHING SUCCESS
The Girl In The Taxi Pleases Large
Audience at The Colonial Theatre
"A Cure For The Blues

As laugh producer THE Girl in
The Taxi, =" which was presented here
for the first time Saturday matinee
and night by Manager Boyer, of the
New Colonial Theatre, has few equals.
Everybody laughed and the mirth
was infectious. 1t was a great show,
and large and representative audi
ence enjoyed it from start to finish.
Nobody shed any tears, and nobody
wished to. The keynote of the show
is merriment and all who witnessed it
were made to feel the cheeriness of
life, and to forget the dark side. The
show was the finest that has ever
been here and could not have been
better staged in New York. The at
traction was good, the stage setting
most attractive and the costumes new,
fresh and handsome.
The performance was No. ! in every
detail, and if the initial attraction, as
given under the new management is
a representative of the class of shows
Manager Boyer means to bring here
to the Colonial Theate, then there are
great things in store for the local
theatre contingent.
Manager Boyer and Assistant Man
ager Croucher are to be congratulated
upon the merits of the show given
here Saturday, and should receive the
unstinted encouragement of the pub
lie and the generous patronage of all
who enjoy up-to-dae shows.
An innovation in the way of a la
dies retiring room was appreciated
by the women, and promises to be g
popular institution in local theatre
circlees.
