Costello Challenges
JackBeresfordFor
ScuIling Trophy

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. g.
Paul Costello plans to go to
England next spring in quest of
the Philadelphia Gold Challenge
Cup. The Penn A. C. sculler,
who lost the trophy without
even so much as a race this
summer, has forwarded formal
challenge to Russell Johnston,
chairman of the cup committee.
The cup is now held by Jack
Beresford, of England, who au-
tomatically came into possess
sion of it by winning the Olym
pic singles final against Garrett
Gilmore, former holder of the
trophy.
Beresford viii be forced to
row or forfeit in due course of
time after challenged, and the
race will probably be set for
early next spring, some time in
June.
The cup last changed hands
in a rather peculiar manner.
Costello defeated Gilmore for it
early in the year, but then lost
to the latter in the Olympic
trials here, and consequently
did not have a chance to defend
it against Beresford abroad.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. g.
It's not a generally known fact,
but in his younger days Doctor
]. w. Wilce, who on September
Is begins his twelfth year as
the guardian angel of Ohio
States football destinies, as
pired to be pole vaulter.
Prior to entering high school,
the youthful Wilce practiced
faithfully with bamboo pole in
the back yard at home. After
entering high school he was
more diligent than ever.
One of the greatest thrills Of
a high school and college varsity
career came to the future ia
nous football mentor when he
first cleared nine feet in the
pole vault. Eventually his leap
to fame was through football,
crew and basketball, rather thar
in the pole vault, but the fact
remains that as a youngster he
yearned to soar to great height
via q bamboo pole.

mistice day in London was observed

the dead heroes of the war. With a
guide I started out at 10 o'clock to
try to see the services at the Ceno-

where the kink was to place a wreath
after II o'clock. I got as far as Traf-
algar Square, four blocks fro mthe
cenotaphn by IL, when the two min
utes of silence was observed, and it
was a very impressive experience, for
as far as I could see in every direc-
ton vas a solid mass of people. I
obtained an elevated position from
which 1 could see, and at the close of

and several other great clocks-all

the mighty sea of people became 81

motors were stopped and for two full
minutes stiffness reigned. Afar I
could hear the fait crying of a baby,
and near me another baby was softly
cooling . Nc other sound assaulted the
ears. The sun shone brightly, a gen.
tie breeze softly stirred a great flag
of the British Empire floating proudly
from a staff on a tall building.
At the close of the time of silence
one could hear the noise, slowly at
first like the coming of the wind, gra-
dually rising like an advancing storm,
and DON We were again enveloped in
the noise, roar and hustle of a great
city.
I finally got to the %cenopath by 2
o'clock and a procession of people
were filing past from II until 4, plac-
ing wreaths and tokens at the base
of the monument. There are several
monuments in London of this kind.
I saw one, erected to the memory of
