Losses on Great Lakes Not Due to
Shifting of Lightship.

Complaints from vessel owners who lost
ships on the great lakes during the re-
cent storm to the effect that an eight
mile shift of Iightship 81 was responsible
for the grounding of many craft have
been found to be untrue by Department
of Commerce inspectors. The officers
found that the vessel did drag her an
chors one mile, but they reported that IL
the vessel had dragged eight miles she
would have landed six miles inland.
The inspectors found that one vessel in
the vicinity of the lightship which had
out two anchors and was steaming full
speed ahead was blown ashore by the
wind.
The only message from any one on
lightship 50, in Lake Erie. came in the
form of a message scraped on a door
from the vessel which was found on
shore. The message was from one of the
crew, and simply told his wife goodbye
The vessel has been given up as lost.

PRINCETON, Oct. 23-The Prince
ton varsity was put through a full
hour of scrimmage with the regular
icrubs yesterday. Both teams played
hard football and fought each other
10 standstill. neither side being
able to score.
Almost from the first KICKOFF the
contest developed into a kicking duel
between Lamberton, for the first
team, and Gile, for the scrubs, In
which Gle had the clear advantage
over his opponent. The varsity back
field would gain a little ground and
Immediately lose the advantage when
few punts were exchanged. Gle
has shown up much better since he
has been shifted from the backfield
to the line.
Emmons was at quarter for the first
team and besides running the team
well he showed signs of developing
into good open field runner. Stew
art Baker, Shea and Click were given
a rest from scrimmage again yester-
day. All three likely will start the
game against Dartmouth. Captain
Hobey Baker tried for number of
goals from field from the % and 30
yard lines, but was successful in get
ting only one over. This was not in
the regular scrimmage, but after
ward, when the regulars were given
practise in kicking formations, with
tsle scrub line breaking through.
