Three atheletic heroes sprang from
the ranks of the navy athletes during
the afternoon. Diemer, Harper. and
Griffith all made frsts and Apple
equipment race away from the army
men when he fired three shots while
some army men were wrestling with
their guns.
Diemer took the broad jump away
from Painter of the army team, by
making eighteen feet nine inches on
his last trial just passing Painters
mark of eighteen feet seven inches.
Dlemer also took the high jump with
five feet five inches.
Harper took the 100 yard dash in
10 As seconds, which is remarkable
time considering the fact that he
had so little time in which to prepare
for the meet. He also ran away
with the 220 yard dash from a good
field of runners.
As for Griffith he was easily one
of the outstanding features of the
day. Anchor man in the tug OF war

tug-of-war groaned when he took ue
half of the navy's half of the rope
just to stretch it once around his
waist. The navy maze It two straight

man didn't move forward once. He
just leaned back and it was over.
In the $50 yard dash Huntington

never headed throughout the entire
stretch. McCracken, also of the navy

naval station band to play a one

As for the meet. it was one of the
best athletic events Pensacola has

contributed by men who only recently
were striving to win their letter IN

LONDON. Oct. S.-Sarrails men have
compelled the enemy to fall back from
the village Osman KamiIs, which the
British artillery rendered untenable,

raids, according TO French and British
official reports issued tonight.

raids were supported by airplanes'
indicating that the ayiators turned
their machine guns loose on the op
poeine trenches from low elevation
This is thought TO be the frat time
airplanes have been so used IT trench
raids. The British statement says the
airpIanes dropped bombs on hostile
batteries and engaged the infantry
with machine guns.
Airplanes scored another success by
rutting an anti-aircrsft gun out OF &C
ton az Ciftlidzik. west Of Demir His
sar. They also damaged an ammuni-
ton dump at Cestovo, northwest OF
Lake Doirsn.
