QUEEN MARIE DOES
 NOT WANT LIQUORS
Tells LeViathan Officials Tea and
 Water Are Her Drinks
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 $. s. Leviathan, Oct. 13.-{Pl- Queen Marie of Rumania is on board the Leviathan today on her way to the United States.
 The big ship put to sea last night at g o'clock from Cherbourg during rain storm with every light around the waterfront aglow and the cruis- CT Memphis of the United States European squadron brilliantly illum- mated and her searchlights playing upon the flagship of the American Merchant marine.
 Queen Out on Deck
 In order to see the illuminations and to get good view of the also brilliantly lighted Leviathan, Queen Marie remained on the deck of the tender Welcome as it put out from Cherbourg to go alongside the big liner which is to take her across seas on a voyage she long has antici- pated with great pleasure.
 Captain Herbert Hartley, commo- dore of the United States lines fleet, his staff. and the crew of the vessel were drawn up to greet the royal guest and her party. The Rumanian national anthem was played as Marie. Princess Ileana, Prince Nicholas and the other members of the entourage came aboard.
 Dinner Is Informal
 There was no dressing for dinner. The queen and her suite were all too worn out by the days exertions, the trip from Paris 10 Cherbourg by train and the receptions and fare- wells by representatives of Rumania, France, and the United States in Cherbourg before 1t was time to go out to the Leviathan.
 It was an informal meal that the party sat down to in the private dim ing room of the royal suite. And the dinner was the first of those which Queen Marie is said to have been desiring. It was a distinctly Ameri- can repast in which corn on the cob and fried sweet potatoes were features.

The orchestra played Rumanian airs. Rumanian and American flags were intertwined throughout the public rooms of the ship and the floral decorations were predominantly of the Rumanian colors.

LITTLE GIRL SLAIN
Ohio Police, After Autopsy, An nounce That Youngster Was Kill ed by Blow on Head.

Orwell. Ohio, Oct 13.-(Pl-Solu- ton of the murder of 21a year old Isabel Zandarski confronted officials today following a finding at an autopsy last night that the girl was murdered by blow on the head.
 A search of more than three weeks, conducted since the child disappeared from her crib in the Zandarski home, moved swiftly to close yesterday. Her body was found by a hunter in a COW pasture mile and a half from her home,
 When found, in a thicket the body was clothed in a flannel night gown and was barefoot.
 An inquest will probably be held today at which an effort will be made to uncover new clues and a motive for the girls murder. An thony and Josephine Zandarski, parents of the child, will be exam ined, as will Frank Zurick, an uncle, officials said.

cerned the trip across the Atlantic will be dry" one inside the royal suite. During a luncheon on board the train from Paris to Cherbourg yesterday, at which. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was a guest, there was only water and coffee to drink. The mas ter of ceremonies stopped at the table to inquire what the queen would prefer during the voyage on the Leviathan. She replied that she hoped to have as many distinctly American dishes as possible.
 'So far as drinks are concerned" the golden-haired mother -in-law of the Balkans added. always have plenty of ice water for me. If can not have ice water, then let me have hot tea"
 There will be plenty of ice water for both the queen and Prince Nicholas, who has been a teetotaler for three years. In saying that he had not touched alcohol for three years, Nicholas explained that he was an officer of the Rumaman navy and that he did not desire any one ever to accuse him of not being sober.
 Queen Makes Plans
 During the voyage Queen Mario will pass the time chiefly in reading and writing and listening in on the radio. When she gets out in the west she hopes to have a chance to go horseback riding, this being her one outdoor sport. Prince Nicholas plays golf and he and his sister 1leana both go in occasionally for tennis
 Through a member of the royal party on board the Leviathan all doubt has been put at rest as to what Queen Marie's religion /is, rumors that she expected to leave the Church of England and join the Greek orthodox church. to which her children belong, were said to be without foundation. The queen, this informant asserted. did go to the Orthodox Greek church with her children for communion, but she feels that the difference between her church and the church of her chil- dren is So slight that there is no reason for her to transfer her mem- hership from the church into which she was born.
 Queen Marie was up at GAS o'clock this morning after a good nights rest, She had a cup of tea and later breakfasted on grape fruit, soft boiled eggs, toast and cof- fee. The queen had a dip in the ships plunge at 9:30 o'clock.
 T was very tired last night, but I rested splendidly," she said. Everything is so comfy in my suite," she added.

(BY ART CARLSON

Southern California, as youll re- call. had a well balanced track and field team in 1925.
 IL was good enough 10 invade the elite eastern sector and cop the in tercollcgiatcs. It was good enough to whip Yale, Georgetown. Penn and the res>. You've got to have some thing to straddle such a field.
 This year Southern California not only has a strong aggregation. it has a great one, one of the greatest ever herded together in a single | college corral. It far outclasses the team of a year ago, as good as was that troupe.
 You1l remember the Trojans won the 1925 intercollegiate at Phila- delphia with 33 points. They whipped Princeton in second place by 312. Secondary positions pulled the Cromwell combine through.
 But Three Firsts
 The westerners scored but three firsts-Leighton Dye in the high hurdles, Kenneth Grumblcs in the low and Bud" Houser in the discus accounting for them. Three firsts in Is events. Pickup" points showed Southern California ahead and kept it there.
 This year at Cambridge, Southern 1 California. with most of last years stars, plus a sensational group of newcomers on the job, looks abso ! lutely certain of five first places at l least.
 Captain Houscr should win the shot and discus. Dye the high i hurdles. Grumbles the low and Lee 1 Barnes, Olympic celebrity, tthe pole vault. That makes 25 points that nothing short of a general dcbacle can prevent the Trojan thinclads from garnering. That's quite an suspicious start too, no matter how 1 you look it it.
 Further-there's Ronald Stever. hurdlor, Stever placed third in the highs last year. He should repeat this season. Then there's Brice Taylor. sprinter and quarter-miler. Taylor landed fifth in the loo in | 1925. Looks much better now. And there's Alden Ross, high jumper. Ross tied for fourth at philly year ago.
 There you have six members of the crack 1925 aggregation and Barnes, a sophomore, capabls of running up combined total Of $ points in any athletic iamborcc.
 Add 10 the list Morton Kaer i hurdler, broad jumper and iavelir tosser: Cliff Reynolds, hurdler; Henry Coggcshall. high jumper with mark of "6-4 1-4"; Edgar ! House, Johnny Parsons and Hers chcl smith, sprinters as well as q few lesser lights, and you have 2 team strong enough to trot out al the next Olympics without worrying over the result.
 No SloUCh Affair
 As you know. the eastern inter collegiate meet is far from a sloucl affair. On the contrary it would be hard to find keener and classier competition anywhere. But deSpit' all this, I wouldn't be surprised tc see Cromwell and his boys romI away with their second successiV, championship with a total of 4 pointS,
 And 45 points should come brett, close 10 doubling the score of th runncrup, providing. of course. Yale 1 Penn, Princeton ct al. live up {, early season performances.
 In short, Southern California bid fair to prove to any steptics park ing along the athletic right Of wa, it has one of the greatest coleg track and field teams ever hoope, together by one institution O learning.
