udPplly.
The "Woolaroc" was rapidly
nearing its goal.
At 11:20, Indianapolis time, the
Radio Corporation at San Francisc,
reported it was in direct communi-
cation with the S. S. City of Los
Angeles, which reported:
"Woolaroc been taking radio
bearings from station NCH at Hilo
Expect to have position shortly"
Immediately afterward Goebel
calculated and reported his position
as latitude 24.35 north, longitude
$50 west, which would be squarely
on the course and approximately
408 miles from the goal. The posi-
ton given is just under 1000 miles
from San Francisco.
Goebel told the City of Los An
geles:
"Am hearing the radio beacon
family"
Both the Golden Eagle" and the
aloha" we're built and designed tc
attain greater speed than the
"Woolaroc's" 80 miles an hour. Each
of the other two monoplanes should
be capable of making 125 miles an
hour, under lightened loads.
Teacher Has Little Chance
The Miss Doran," in which Mil
dred Doran. the young school teach
er, is a passenger, is capable of no
more than 100 miles an hour with
normal flying load. It's maximum
speed on the Dole flight is ex-
pected to be 80 miles an hour, be-
cause of excess weight.
Observers here believed it pos
sible if the "Woolaroc" was close
to Hawaii that the aloha" and the
Golden Eagle" might be closer.
Flying on schedule; everything
fine" Goebel of the "Woolaroc" re-
ported in his last communication.
The biplane Miss Doran" was not
given more than a vague chance of
winning the race to Wheeler field.
1t started an hour and a half late
and its maximum speed was less
than that of it's three COM
petitorS.
Reach Goal Soon
If the Golden Eagle is flying as
it was predicted she would fly, the
ship should reach Wheeler field
about 1:30, Pacific time.
The Aloha of Martin Jensen, ca
pable of almost equal speed, should
arrive at almost the same time, ac-
cording to estimates of observers
here.
The two planes took off within
four minutes of each other.
The Woolaroc took Off in three
plane group, with Jensen and Jack
Frost, pilots of the other mono
planes, but its miximum speed was
less than that of the other planes.
1.-The fact that the two other
monoplanes and the biplane have
not been sighted, does not mean
anything" Lieut.. Ben Wyatt of the
Department of Commerce told the
United Press. '1They are all fine
ships and are undoubtedly flying
above the fog. Vessels at sea could
not sight them"
Planes Being Repaired
At Oakland airport all was quiet,
although three planes remained as
possible entrants in the Dole prizs
fight.
The Dallas Spirit of Capt. William
P. Erwin was undergoing minor mo-
tor repairs. 1t was believed it might
be started down the runway again
today.
The monoplane of Bennett Grif-
fin, the Oklahoma, was undergoing
extensive repairs and it was believed
improbable that 1t would take of
soon.
The Air King, disqualified when
piloted by Charles Parkhurst because
of insufficient gasoline capacity, was
still at the head Of the runway
awaiting possibel test flights.
