Aero Defeats Auto
And Motorcycle In
Novel Race on Ice

New York, Jan. 1. - Ice boat fol-
lowers Of Red Bank. N. j., and ad-
jacent towns assembled at the North
Shrewsbury River yesterday after
noon to help usher in the ice yacht
ing season. Instead OF ice yacht
races. the crowd had the pleasure of
witnessing a novel race on ice, in
which figured an aeroplane, an auto
mobile and a motorcycle.
Lieut.. Jack F. Casey, pilot, was out
in his aeroplane and after circling
about few times made his landing
on the ice. Whereupon william o.
Hoffman drove his automobile on the
ice, and later Al Chambers glided on
the smooth surface on his motorcycle.
Because OF the poor wind the ice
yacht races were called off, Then
somebody suggested a race between
the aeroplane. the auto and the motor
cycle. The three speedy crafts paced
down the river toward Oceanic. The
aeroplane kept slightly in the lead
while running on its wheels, but left
the car and cycle far behind when it
assembled.

TAD JONES SURE TO

New Haven. Conn, Jan. THAT
Tad Jones will be back as head coach
of the Yale football team next fall
seems assured. It is up" to, the for
mer All-American quarterback him
self, and friends of his here are sure
that satisfactory arrangements will be
made.
That the authorities feel the same
way was shown when the announce
ment came from Minneapolis that
Harry Williams had refused to again
sign with the University of Minnesota
and was coming to some Eastern uni
versity. presumably Yale.
Immediately the officials here said
that Yale was not the university
meant. DR.. Williams. who is a grad
ate of Yale, and who has a son here
now. spent part of last week in New
Haven, and at that time naturally
saw some friends Of his on the fac
ulty. but no move was made by the
football authorities to, see If he was
available for the position.

ing been practiclng daily during the

Coach Haas Is in doubt as to
whether he will continue his pres
ent lineup with Baynes as Captain
Wilson's running mate at forward.
Baynes. while a fairly good shot. is
slow in his passing and does not
hold on to the ball well enough.
This boy should make a star and IL
he can only be made TO realize his
defects and play the game as he IS
capable of doing he will be the equal
of Downes, who is considered the
greatest center in the south. Downes
Is a wonder and is showing great
improvement over his play OF last
season when he was the hardest
man to stop in the IL Intercollegiate
League.
War Risk has got together
quite an array of fast aggressive
lads and should be able to give a
good account of themselves in this
their first contest. Atherton. who
was a star at Mount Saint Joseph
for the past four years. will play one
Of the forward positions and Co.'S
