Fold Wings and Dive for Earth
When Approached.

Dallas, Tex, Jan. S.-Wild geese
cannot compete with the airplane in
speed nor in maneuvering, and the
pigeon, swiftest of the winged crea-
lures. is outclassed by the flying men,
aviators here declare, and hunters
corroborate their statements.
To prove his ship faster than the
Wild geese, one aviator climbed into
the sky and flew around a great "
shaped drove flying north. The~geese
at first held their formation, but when
the plane was but a few yards from
them they became panic-stricken. AS

of the geese folded their wings and
dropped like p1ummets toward the
earth. Several hundred feet below the
airplane they flattened out, but each
time the aviator approached they
folded their wings and dropped.
g. An aviator dare not dash into a
flock of geese. for collision with them
would wreck his plane. Accidents due
to collision with birds in air have
wrecked afrplanes and in at least two
cases caused the death of the pilots.

Such is the consensus of opinion of
athletic directors of institutions COM

who declare that football drew it's larg-
est crowds and created its greatest
interest during the 1919 season.
Crowds ranging from 5000 to 5000
persons witnessed the majority of
games, athletic directors reported. Six
thousand persons saw the Kansas
Aggie-Iowa Aggie contest at Ames. Ia.
More than 5000 people were banked
on the sidelines at Columbia, Mo-,
when the Tigers met Nebraska. The
Kansas Aggies played to %, 900 spec
tators during the season.
A considerable bulge in football re-
ceipts for 1919 over those OF other
years is noted. but it is pointed out
that increased expenses of the game
