Thomas Eaton Was Killed.

A Key West, Fla, paper Of last Sattr-
day prints the following account of the
accident there in which Thomas W. Eaton,
a Wilmington aviator, was killed:
"a collision between two aeropIancs
about $50 o'clock yesterday morning
near the naval mir sta ton, when the
machines were attempting to make a
landing resulted in the killing of Student
Aviator Thomas w. Eaton, and the
serious injury Of Student j. J. Mitchell Jr.
The accident occurred when the machines
were about 100 feet in the air. Student
Eaton was heading downward, while the
other one was lying on a straight course. /.
When the machines came together each
became uncomfortable, Eaton falling
head first, while Mitchell landed upright.
As soon as the watchman on the lookout
tower saw the accident he gave the signal
to the other men around the station
and the rescue party was soon on the
scene, and on arriving there they found
Eaton to be dead, while Mitchell was
suffering from injuries about his body
IL is the opinion Of physicians that Eaton
met death instantly, death being caused
by fracture Of the skull, just above the
left eve. Mitchell was rushed To the
Naval Hospital and although his injuries
are OF serious nature, his physicians

GREATEST ENTRY
LIST FOR j. OF P.
Many Athletes to Compete in the
Relay Carnival, April 20-27.
on Franklin Field.

The drawings for the position at the
pole for Pennsylvania relay carnival,
which takes place on April 1927, were
made Tuesday by Edwin NJ. Abbott, the
clerk of the course for the events. They
show by far the greatest entry list that
has ever been received for these famous
sports. In all, 39l teams were drawn for
the different events. All of these are
bona fide entries. with the exception OF
about ten, that were put into the draw by
the relay management as the colleges had
not been definitely heard from, but 1T Is
considered most likely that they would
send on their teams. BY putting them IN
the drawing. these teams got their chance
aS otherwise they would have TO be
considered poSt-Cntres and go on the
outside. This was the case with Cornell,
whose manager wrote some tune ago
that they would probably enter the one,
four, the sprint, medley and the freshman
race They were also put into the two
and the distance medley, rs they may de-
sire to put teams in ono or the other OF
these events. The relay teams from the
First Naval District of Boston and the
Great Lakes Naval Training Station were
put into the drawing for the military and
naval relay races, as both of these impor-
tant camps desire to compete II they can
get together the money for the expenses
of their men.
The college championship relays make
remarkable showing. OF course, il could
not be expected that all the teams listed
will compete. Dartmouth, for instance,
will not bring down their four-milc team
unless the men show good time in their
final trials. Nj. |. t. asked 10 be entered
in both the two and the four-mie cham
pionships, though they will run only in
one of these events. Their trials will de-
tcrminc into which event they will put
their men. Pennsylvania had fair luck in
the drawings, but State College must have
had their official rabbits foot concealed
some place in Attorney Abbott's office, for
they drew the pole twice and second posi-
tlon twice IN four of the six races State
Is bringing down their entire track team
and viii be represented in all the relays
and also IN all the special events
The total of teams entered has surprised
everybody. The races give every
promise of being even more interesting
than in pre-war times, because OF the
uncertainties OF the present season and
especially because of the presence of the
army and navy athletes in the meet.
Their events with the exception Of the
one mile relay come on Friday, which
makes this day equal to Saturday in
interest
