MOTORCYCLE RIDERS CRASH.
Two Are Injured at Los Angeles
Track-Record Broken.

Los Angeles, Nov. 1.-THE breaking of
a worlds record and a sensational crash
which hurled two riders to the track
added unusual excitement this afternoon
to the motorcycle races at the Stadium.
The accident came in the deciding heat
Of the Glass B professional race at ten
miles. Clarence Biggs was tearing along
at a terrific clip when something went
wrong with his machine. He quickly
pulled down to the footboard, and in
doing so crossed the path OF G. B.
Stokes.
There was a crash that sent both riders
spinning, but fortunately neither was Sc
riously hurt.
The worlds record was broken in the
first heat OF the Class A invitation race
at two miles by l. L Humlston. He
drove the distance in lis 3-5, cutting
two-fifths of a second of the time made
by Eddie Hasha on the same track last
year.

From the Springfield Republican.
At Towson, Nd. strenuous campaign
is being waged against typhoid, with the
result that of 1874 wells in the town only
four are to be left open by the board Of
health. Is it wonderful when such shock
ing conditions can develop that the
United States ranks far below other CIV
ilized countries in its typhoid record?
Some OF the condemned wells may still
be used for cattle provided the pumps are
kept locked when the trough is full. Vio-
lation of this rule will be punished by de
maturing the water with coal oil Water
is the best of drinks, but it can be as dam
gerous as any and II seems an almost i'm
possible thing to persuade the public to
take the simple precaution Of boiling all
drinking water or else sticking TO tea and
coffee.

The coaches were reticent and the
team downcast as they emerged from
their private car. and even the loyal
cheering of hundreds OF students who
went down without breakfasts to well
come the players failed to tighten the
situation suffused with gloom. The
squad came through the game in pref
ty good shape, and the whole team is
expected to be ready to begin hard
work tQrmorrow for the Pennsylvania
game. six days of practice remain to
them. o'Connor and Champagne were
the most severely injured. but Coach
Sharp expects they will be out by the
middle of the week.

Poor Press Arrangements.
BY erecting additional seats, moving
back the east and west stands, and puts
ting up a wire fence lengthwise Of the
Eridiron. the athletic association at
Georgetown hoped to do away with
crowding the side lines and the front
of the cheering section during the prog
ress of the. Virginia game. Unfortunately
the crowd became excited, unmanageable.
and, like a flock of sheep. quickly jumped
the fence during the closing minutes of
the game. and the same old trouble was
again apparent: the side line was crowd
ed ten rows deep.
Innovations in the matter of seats must
have met with public appreciation. but
all the police in Washington could not
have kept the oYerexcited crowd be-
hind the fence when Costello stepped
back to make his drop kick.
There is only one remedy for such
condition of affairs, and until steps are
made in this direction the side lines
will always be crowded at the big games
on the Hilltop.
Newspaper men reporting the game,
former Georgetown football stars, and
friends of the university have no business
on the side lines at a big game.
Every college in the North provides a
press box at the top of one OF the stands
for the working newspaper men. George
town should build one and insist upon
it being used.
Former Georgetown football stars and
others should be provided with seats in
the stands: a special section might be
set aside for their use.
The benches placed on the gridiron
side of the wire fence should be reserved
for substitute players only with the
coaches and Tubbers.
The space between the west stand and
the Wire fence Saturday was packed
with spectators, while several hundred

In the first game at Union League Park
yesterday the Nationals defeated the

The back ield work of Davis. Barton,

time and again they would circle the

Virginia Was Ready.


IF We cannot beat Georgetown. We can
at least try and build up a defense which
will stop them from beating u.s." was the
sentiment of Virginia's coaches two weeks
before the big game played here Saturday
How well the Virginia coaches sue
ceeded in building up such a defense is
now ancient history.
What team this season has been able
TO check Jim Dunn or Tug Fury?
Yet Virginia stopped this pair. and
in addition broke up nearly every at
tempt made by Costello to circle the
Charlottesville ends.
Virginia coaches witnessed the In
dian game here. and it did not take
them long to note Georgetown's at
tack.
If we can stop Dunn, Fury, and Co.'S
tello we will beat Georgetown" they
told their players, and spent many
weary hours with the Iinesmen trying
to perfect quick, heavy charging line
figuring that if line could be devel-
oped that would get the jump on
Georgetown neither Fury Dunn, nor
Costello would do much damage. They
succeeded.
While all this time was spent on
Virginia's defense. the offense was not
being developed in proportion, and for
this Georgetown should be thankful
later the chances are that Virginia
would have won il.
The majority of Virginia's players
will be back next fall. and 1t behooves
Georgetown to be ready for them when
they come up here. The new men look
promising, and are sure to develop.
