LOSES FEW
MEN BY GRADUATION.

MoRGANToWN, June 1s.-West
Virginia University lost fewer arh-
.letes this year by graduation than
for several years., it was announced
today by University officials. Sew
leral athletes became ineligible to
play in one sport by exhaust1ng
their four years Of intercollegiate
competition, but are still eligible
to take part in n or more other
sports. This condition was brought
about by the war when students
left school in the middle of the year
and returned in the same haphazard
manner.
In football, three men were lost
by graduation-Joe Harrick, Bob
Kay and Shugrou- Basketball lost
four men-Martin, Hawkins, Kiger,
and George Hill, although all four
Of these men have another year OF
football competition left. Joe Har-
rick and Turkovich were the only
members of the wrestling squad to
be graduated. Captain Lazzell and
Cantner were the track athletes
graduated. while Turkovich and
Martin will not be available to the
baseball squad next year The ten
mis- team remains intact.

WOMAN COACHES
SUCCESSFUL TEAM

ST. LOUIS. June 13.-(By The
Associated Press.)-A champion
ship baseball nine developed ana
coached by a woman won indlvi-
dual gold medals and a silver low
ing cup in the public school league
here which just has closed its sea
son. The coach, Miss Elsa Star
oske, had general supervision OF.
the Meramec School team in praC-
tice and in playing. The team
manager and captain directed the
club on the playing field after aa-
vice from their coach. The medals
and loving cup wer offered by
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch-
Miss Staroske says she has been
interested in athletes from the
standpoint of a teacher who at
tempts to direct the physical de-
velopment of a student as we'll as
them mentally.
Our winning the pennant was
not all my work" she said. The
boys had the proper spirit, played
good ball and were determined to
show other teams they could win
even il they did have a woman for
"a coach. I'm for them. and they
are for me, and by working to
gether we Won.
Some boys can play certain
places better than others, I've
learned, but the best way to man
age a boys team is to depend up
on the youngsters themselves ara
make them believe that they have
to come through and somehow or
other they will if YOU encourage
them.
I'VE first learned TO hat the
ball. and hit it hard. Good batting.
with good pitching won for us.
Our fielding was pretty good as
a whole, but the main thing about
our team winning was due to the
boys e~agerness, determination
and Willingness. If did NIT know
the proper play or just what to
call it, they did,"

RlDICULES CLAIM U. S.
DOES NOT NEED AN ARMY

WEST POINT. n. y, June 10
Assertions that the United States
does not need an army we're met
by Secretary Weeks of the War
Department in an address at the
graduation exercises OF the United
States Military Academy today
with the statement that "civiliZa-
ton of the wor1d&rests on no surer
foundation than did the civillza-
ton of Boston," at the time of the
police strike, nearly three years
ago.
.'If it were not for the restrain
ing force of the military establish
ments of the nations of the
world" he declared, AN indescri-
bab1e state of chaos would result
and civilization would be rapidly
eyterminated through self-destrGc-
ton"
To say that the United States
does not need an army he added is
Just as reasonable as to say that,
Boston, Chicago and our other
large cities do not need a police
force"

FIRST STORY OF
FLIGHT RELATED
Captain Who Broke Parachute
Jumping Record Tells of
Experiences.

DAYTON, June 13.-Lashed and
whipped about by a 12O-mile-au-
hour gale more than four and a
half miles above earth, on the verge
of s~uffocating, caused by loss of
lis >oxygen tank, and compelled to
cling to ropes and straps attached
to a parachute for fear that a
whlrling cross current might weak
en- and cause them to break, are
several of. the mere details re
lated today by Capt. A. w. Stevens,
whot recently broke the worlds
parachute jumping record when he
descended 24,206 feet.
The fact that it was Captain
Stevens first drop tends to make
his feat one of the most remark
suffered no i11-effects from his
hazardous trip. The plane, a twin
motored Martin bomber, piloted BY
Lieutenant Leigh Wade, broke the
worlds altitude record for this par
ticular type of ship, carrying the
three passengers when it assembled
24,2O6 feet. Sergeant Roy Lang
ham was the third member Of the
party.
Captain Stevens was reluctant to-
day tc discuss details of his ex-
perfence. For a long time I have
wanted to make a parachute drop"
he said. Ordinarily to obtain first
hand information as to the sensa
lions one feels. l am highly graf
flied to think I was able to bring
another record to McCook Field.
when the plane reached the
ceiling, I made ready to jump. AS
near as 1 could judge, we were over
Springfield, Ohio. Bidding my pals
goodbye. I jumped.
THE opening of the parachute
caused the oxygen tank to become
loose from its fastenings on the
front of my clothing. Grasping it
with both hands I tried to retair.
it.
."The wind, which was travelling
at a speed OF 100 miles an hour,
whipped the parachute around like
a jack straw. I a forced to use
both hands on the ropes and straps
which held me to the chute to check
oscillation which threatened to
weaken the supports. 1t was then
that 1 lost the tank. I think it fell
some place near Springfield.
ct was an experiment I shall
never forget. Before settling down
to a lower altitude, l thought my
time had come as I was nearly suf-
located due to the rareness of the
atmosphere. Dropping out Of the
gale into calmer atmosphere below,
I quickly recovered, however.
81 landed at jamestown, approx
mately twenty-five miles from
where I left the plane. The de
scent took just thirty minutes.
Just before taking off at Nc
Cook Field anEorderly appeared
carrying a lunch~kit containing
sandwiches and coffee in vacuum
bottles. We ate the lunch $4,000
feet in the air, and we all enjoyed
Il thoroughly. The temperature
at the ceiling was zero
Another plane picked up Captain
Stevens at jamestown and broughs
him back to McCook Field
Two hours and five minutes was
required by Lieutenant Wade to
| pilot the bomber to her RECORD
breaking altitude.
