The teams lined up again. And
then 1t was that Mcmillan surprised
the entire Minnesota eleven by call
ing for repetition of the play.
Again Mcmillan set out as if to skirt
the end. Again he handed the ball
to Wells. And again Wells heaved
1t to Borleskie, who clutched the
spinning spheroid as it sailed
through the air, this time logging
90 yards towards the Gopher goal,
where McGovern, the last man bar
ring the way, tossed him on the five
yard stripe. \ couple Of plunges
and Michigan had the ball across
for the only counter Of the fray.

True, there may be nothing in a

Every big league player, regard

Possibly the story is just a press
agent stunt for the British open
champion. Even if it is. it's a good
one. There is a probability that Jim
really intended to return to New
York to spend his Christmas vaca-
ton.
However, ! am inclined to believe
that Barnes was so upset by the loss
of the club, that he sought to forget
golf for time by getting north to
where the game couldn't be played.
Incidentally New York is the best
spot in the world for Jim to have Z
new club turned out according to his
pet specifications.

But the Swami answered: IF we

U. S. HAS IL RADIO
FOG-SIGNAL STATIONS
Sixteen to Be Added in Next Six
Months-Development
Is Rapid.

With the establishment of a radio
station at the Five Fathom Light
ship. off the Jersey coast. the United
States Government now has IL fog
signal stations in operation. Sixteen
other stations under construction
will be completed within the next six
months, 1t Is announced by George
r. Putnam. commissioner of light
houses.
When all the new plants begin
operation. Mr.. Putnam said. the
United States will have more fog
signal stations than the rest of the
world combined. Seven of the new
stations are being placed on the
Great Lakes. two on the Gulf of
Mexico. five on the Pacific coast. one
in Alaska and an additional station
on the Atlantic seaboard, at Portland
Light.
Rapid development has been made
in the use of radio fog signals during
the past six months. according to
Commissioner Putnam. A recent in
stance of the effectiveness of the
system, he explained, was shown in
the Raifuku Maru disaster, when the
location of the sinking Japanese ship
was determined by the liner Homeric
through the use Of the radio compass.
With the growth of the lighthouse
signal station system, arrangements
have been made to replace all of
the present spark transmitters with
tube sets, thus eliminating any in
reference with other forms of wire
less communication. Although a
wave band around 1000 meters has
been set aside for the use of the
lighthouse stations. some interfer-
ence has been noted from the opera
ton of the present transmitters. So
far, a CIV transmitter has been
placed only In the station at the Am
brose lightship.
Along with the development of the
fog signal station system, a large in
crease has been noted in the past six
months in the number of ships pro-
vfded with radio compasses. Today
approximately 400 ships are so equip
ped. in comparison with 291 six
months ago.
