YOUTHS NARROWLY
ESCAPE DROWNING
Boat Sinks with Three Aboard on COL
umbia in Dark-Two Swim Ashore,
Other Rescued

Orrin Beinhart, Laurence Moeller
and Edmund Carpenter, all about
fifteen years of age, had an ex-
perience last Sunday night which
probably will make them lesS ven
turesome in the future about voy-
aging in the currents of the Colum-
bia, especially in an old and leaky
rowboat.
The boys took Carpenters boat
and went across to the north shore
opposite their homes about three
miles west of town, Sunday night.
They started back after dark and
within about hundred yards OF
this side a seam opened in the
bottom of the boat and before they
hardly realized what was happening,
their craft had sunk under them
All three clung for few minutes to
the nearly.sub ubmerged boat, which
kept turning over and over under
their weight and the action of the
current.
Realizing that to stay with their
frail support would very likely
mean that all of them would be
drowned, the Beinhart and Carpen-
ter boys decided to try to swim
ashore and get help to rescue young
Moeller, who was not a strong
swimmer. So they struck out fol
shore and finally pulled themselves
out on the bank, pretty we'll ex.
austed by the long swim in the cold
water.
Their shouts had by. this time at

christ who was out on the river in
another boat, and he gave chase to
the wreck, finally rescuing the
Moeller boy about a mile down.

.ELBERTAS COME
WITH A RUSH
Ten Cars Went Out Last Night
Shipments for Week Will
be Fifty Cars

Ten solid cars of Elbertas rolled
out of Kennewick last night and by
the end of this week at least fifty
cars will have been shipped, mark
ing the height of the peach season.
The Chas. HI. Collins Co. sent out
five cars from this point last night
and also loaded one car at Kiona.
The Association also report loading
five at their warehouse. Each firm
estimates that their shipments for
the week will total twenty-five cars.
Not all of these will be Elbertas.
however, as about a car a day OF
mixed fruits and melons are going
out.
Practically everything from here
is going into Idaho, Montana and
Dakota points, although the Collins
Co. report shipment of two cars
to Portland. The average pack is
from 80 to Is and the price is hold
ing firm at 40 to so cents with the
demand strong.
Growers of Elbertas are having
their hands full to keep ahead of
the ripening fruit though no serious
shortage of help has been reported
H. NJ. Bartlett is the largest indi-
vidual shipper and is now market
ing about thousand boxes a day.
A record load was hauled from
Richland yesterday when one driver
with four-horse team brought in
4O1 boxes.
The shipping houses report that
the railroads are giving fine service
in furnishing iced fruit cars and no
delay from this source has been
met. About two thirds of the FL
berta crop, it is estimated, will have
been gathered by the end of this
week and the rush will begin to ease
up.

twice in the eighth session.
In the other tenround bout of the

outpointed Jack Payne, of Chicago,
in a rafting scrap. The boys fought
every minute OF the time. 1t was a

Young's great showing was the sur

was an easy target fer a straight left
and right cross. Young hOored Lee
the first time in the eighth session
with a dandy left hook. Charlie got
up at the count of five with Young
on top of him. A right cross knocked
Lee against the ropes, whore he
tumbled to the canvas, the referee
stopping the fight. Young put up a
wonderful battle, leaving the ring
without mark.
The Baker Payne scrap was one Of
the fastest ever staged here Bakers
cleverness earned him the shade.
Payne appeared willing at all times,

Herculean Task Faces Tech.
Auburn and Georgia Some lob

as varied as the merchandise in
country emporium and considerably
more valuable.
quite an assortment OF assets for
Auburn.
Then here is an admitted fact:
If Tech is going to take the Orange
away from Auburn and leave just the
Blue, Tech has to show all the spirit
and the drive the Jackets showed
against Sewanee, and then has to
turn loose every bit of football in the
Jacket cosmogony.
In this event the Jackets, already
considerably battered as to Messrs.
Johnson. Nance, Alexander ct ais,
will have to 60 through considerable
more of the Bat Nelson act of assimi-
lating punishment with just an out
side chance Of winning.
GAY Tech does all these things and
~ wins-what's the result?
Tech will have to face their ancient
and most hated and feared foe, the
Red and Black Of Georgia, with the
knowledge that Georgia knows every
formation the Jackets have, and the
team will have certainly suffered In
condition after the Auburn affray.
Now, it's no lead-pipe cinch that
Tech could take Georgia into camp
under the most favorable conditions.
1t is as debatable question as the
tariff, votes for women and the regu-
lation of locker clubs. It's practically
a certainty that under unfavorable
conditions Tech will have the same
chance OF defeating Georgia as a SER
pent would of doing harm in a disttl-
lery.
nh ha. t,,,a ao,rsaa ~ pureua
The Jackets can play carefully, hold
ing Auburn as closely as possible and
taking chances on the breaks in foot
ball fortune coming to them. and
emerge cooked and primed for Geor-
gia, or Tech can take desperate
chances, fight from the gong, and
come out of the game with consider
able glory, but little chance Of de-
feating the Red and Black.
COUND the sentiment out at the
~ Flats and among the Tech alumni
and you'll find that Tech would rather
beat Georgia than trim Harvard, and,
knowing this sentiment, 1t is alto
gether likely that the willy Heisman
will not take any chance In the Or
his resources for the intrastate en-
gagement
But there is one consolation for
Tech, thus apparently in a Glove
hitch. Mike Donahue, most careful Of
all coaches, is going TO be even more
careful than Tech, for he has the
Vanderbilt game and his chance for a
championship one week in the offing.
Maybe while Mike is playing the safe,
sane and conservative the Jackets can
put over the knockout.
And maybe Tech will come out I'M
injured.
And maybe Tech will then beat
Georgia.

~ OMETHING like 3S,451 fans
have asked me during the past
few days whether Tech was
just taking things easy in their game
against Florida and thus trying to
fool Sewanee, or whether the team
was really doing its best against the
Gators and if the latter, how | e&-
plain the surprising reversal of play
ing form shown by the Yellow jack
cts.
Yes, frankly, Tech was doing her
best-on that day and under the con-
ditions. What the conditions were
that really count in a case of this
sort is something it would be diff
cult for any one not more or less OF
a football expert TO comprehend.
Suffice it to say that conditions had
radically changed in the one week
that Law between the Florida and the
Sewanee games, insofar, at least, as
they were at all related to the play
ing of the Tech team.
.NG.NY are wondering whether Sc
IVA vance had not been a greatly
overrated team up to last Saturday;
and by the same token they are mar
yelling whether Tech heo not been
greatly underestimate. in other
words, they presume that one or the
other of these two answers must be
the explanation of Techs impressive
victory. For my part believe
neither.
1t is true enough that Tech played
rather better ball last Saturday than
she has played any previous day this
fall: but then it was time she should
do so. The team has been brought
along more slowly this year than
usual and with so many men new to
the Varsity system it took time to
teach them how to work the stuff to
advantage. Besides this the team
has not been keyed up" for any pre-
vious. game and it probably did not
know its own latent power and pos
sibiIities. To this extent it has prob
ably been somewhat moderated up to
last Saturday.

wv schedule that now confronts
the gallant warriors Of Geor-
gia Tech is to-day probably wishing
that he had given the calendar the
once over several times before the
November battles were arranged. Had
he done so there Is no scintilla OF
doubt that Techs chances for Geor-
gia and Southern championship
honors would be considerably more
roseate than they are under present
conditions.
Now, this is written in no spirit Of
criticism of the schedule maker. Be
yond doubt in view of the lights that
were shining in the merry spring
time, when the articles of warfare
were signed, he arranged the best
program of football amusement that
Atlanta has ever known.
Think of it, Sewanee Auburn and
Georgia one week after the other. No
other Southern football team has &C
copied anything like so strenuous. But
other Southern football teams had
championship aspirations. Up to a
week ago Tech had none. Where
fore, the Herculean task put up to
the Yellow Jackets.
The athletic authorities expected
and they had just reason to expect 1t
that when the call for football can
didates was sounded by Coach Heis-
man for the 1918 football season, It
would be responded to by flock Of
youngsters with a wealth OF youth
and high spirits, but poverty stricken
when IL came to a question of weight
and football experience. Such had
been the case for years. There was
no indication that the precedent
would be broken.
Heisman sounded the call. He
sounded It without expecting any
thing in the way of result He sound
ed it because it's football custom.
Then appeared on the field Mr.. Jim
Preas and Mr.. Tolley Johnson, and
Mr.. Gene Patten, and Mr. Nance, and
Mr. Cushman, and other Misters, more
or less notable.
Luck is coming our way at last"
remarked the Tech supporters, as the
gentleman remarked when he threw
eleven after fiock of box cars.
THE season wracl1ed its weary way
i along with the Jackets showing
nothing more extraordinary than a
tomcat sleeping before an open fire
until the Sewanee game. Then the
Jackets began to sting. When the
dust of battle had settled after last
