"And what are you doing that for?

"Oh. is that so? Then you are just

Mr.. Whitehead took the owner of the
building to the aforementioned hotel
and bought luncheon for him. He told
him of his airplane dream, and
Vaughan Thompson-for that was the
name of the owner-was impressed by
1t. He said:

Contract for Six Flyers.
Mr.. Whitehead, being skilled me-
chanic, put the old machinery in the
Thompson property in the best condi-
ton he could, made few purchases
on credit, and went to the air depart
ment with this proposal: "You may
send your inspector to my machine
shop any time you wish. I should
like a contract to build six airplanes,
and they will be as good as any other
maker in the country can give you"
They gave him a contract for the
six. An inspector reported that his
factory was of sufficient capacity for
a trif1ing order of that kind, and there
upon the 45O-acre Whitehead company
began it's career.
On the strength of his order for six
government machines Mr.. Whitehead
was able to make such purchases as he
needed for his small undertaking. He
also borrowed $35 to pay two mechan-
les who helped him the first week.
From that the industry grew. He sur
mounted obstacles that would have
awed almost anyone, and did things
which astonished the cleverest bust
ness men of England. But he achiev-
ed results. He finished his six ma
chimes in far less than the specified
time, and then he got a contract for
hundred.
The works grew; and the orders
grew Also. He built great airdrome
facing field of hundreds of acres,
and, to the amazement of government
officials who thought his field was no
use as a training station because Of
the fact that river flowed through
it, he buried the river. He diverted
a stream so that it is now not to be
seen on his property.
The lunch which he gave the other
day marked the end Of the second year
OF active full operation. There is no
telling where it will end.

Shut Out by Score of | to 0
in First Defeat of
Season

Newark lost its first game in the
New International League race yester
day after winning three. 1t was
Arthur Irwin's Rochester Hustlers that
handed the Bears their first defeat, and
they rubbed it in by shutting them out
by score of to O.
Pete Heitman, for Rochester, and
Aiccr Jensen, the Newark moundsmen,
engaged in one of the prettiest pitch
ers' battles ever gazed on at Wieden-
mayors Park.
Jensen, who is from Perth Amboy, al
lowed the fewest hits, but unfortu-
nately lost the game. He gave but two
safe blows in the nine innings, one
coming in the second inning, which
Rochester turned into a run, and the
other not being made until the final
round, when Heitman drove safety
to left.
Estes led off in the second for
Rochester with a clean blow to right
field for one base. He stole second
and went to third on Jensen's bad peg
to catch him off the bag. Jensen then
gave Levie pass to first, and this was
his undoing, for Levie had hardly set
foot on the initial sack than he at
tempted to steal. Newark infielders
foolishly played him for ar out and
Ed Holly touched him, but while he
was putting the ball on him Estes
scampered over the plate with the only
run of the game.
Heitman allowed Newark but four
hits and kept them we'll scattered. New
ark came mighty near scoring in the
opening inning. Holly was called out
at the plate on very close decision,
at which he protested vigorously. With
one down Holly doubled. He tried to
come all the way home from second
while Gathers was being thrown out
at first. 1t looked as if he slid into
him out. In the sixth inninr Holly
doubled with two out, but this time he
did not advance. for Gathers flied out
to centre.

the par is 70, she did no less than five

his long puts and missed his short

Stevens Institute
Squad Wins on
N. Y. u. Track

New York University's track team
was defeated by the squad from
Stevens Institute in dual meet yes
ter afternoon on Ohio Field by the
score Of 62 to so.
Weather conditions were excellent,
but the track was in bad shape. This
accounts for the slow times in several
of the contests. Of the fourteen
events, Stevens took first in all but
four.
The individual stars of the meet were
Captain Bill Mesloh and Roberts, of
Stevens, and Captain Hal Finley, of
New York. The Jersey captain scored
fifteen of his teams points by virtue
of three frsts. He came home win
ner in the two sprints and in the low
hurdles.
Roberts totalled sixteen points as a
result of two first and two second
places. He won the pole vault and the
high hurdles and took second place in
the low hurdles and the high jump.

The approval by the trustees Of Co.

The major part of this will be con-
tributed to the Athletic Association
and will enable it to weather the
deficits caused by the war. This years
deficit of $4,000 is being made up by
contributions from alumni.
The new plan which is being adopted
cations on the campus to become fnan-
cially independent throughout the war
is similar to the plan already in use in
many colleges of the country.
In addition to putting the Athletic
Association on firmer basis, the phy-
sical education department of the col
lege has passed ruling which will
help more than any other means to
make athletics at Columbia of general
participation by the student body, in
accordance with the recommendations
of Secretary of War Baker
Each student now must spend certain
number of hours each week in physical
training. The alternative for this is
to pass rather easy examination
which gives the man the privilege of
going out for team. This will mean
that every team will have a larger
squad than before. AS one of the
coaches said, "there will be eighty to
hundred out for 'cross-country in
stead of the squads Of twenty or fewer
that have come out in the last few
years."
