pilot heard Peterson's command re-

positive the ignition was off. Mr.. Der
liner will conduct a further investiga-
ton today, but pending that inquiry
he was of the opinion that the sud

to pre-ignition, a not uncommon oc'
currence, especially when the power
plant is hot.
Mr.. Berliner said he was glad the
propeller that struck the chief me-
chanic was wooden and not metal. in
which event Peterson would have been
injured seriously.
Peterson, who was mechanic on
the Byrd North Pole aerial eXpedi-

ago.. Prior to that he was in naval

his two previous propeller "smacks."

backfired and the blade struck Peter

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON-The official opening OF
the foot ball season was held without
fear of the law such as prevailed in
years gone by.
In the year 1914 Edward II forbade
the game, and in 1889 Richard II
passed a new act for it's suppression,
while Henry ", Henry VIII and
Elizabeth all tried to stem its increas-
ing popularity by increasing the penal
ties.
These laws were frequently enforced
against delinquents, and 1t is recorded
that at Dublin in 1879 one Denis Wo.
gan was fined flo and jailed for n
week because he kicked off at a local
foot ball game.
