showed much football ability in the
game against w. and J. last Satur-
day, Coach Snavely WAS more dis
pleased with Bison play than he
has been at any time in mis- three
years here.
1t was evident in the stands that
theh laundering Herd had lost much
of its ability to thunder. ard Snav.
ely noticed it more than anyone.
That the team has plenty of power
was evidenced by the fact that they
took the ball on their own 20.yard
line and with one exchange of punts
carried it over for touchdown.
But with that one flash of power
the Blsons folded up, never to re
cover except once A few minutes
later and in the closing moments
of the game, when even q touch
down would not have won.

NEXT MOVE:
NOWUP To
ARMY

, ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 17.-Rear
Admiral Samuel S. Robson,
superintendent of the Naval
Academy, reiterated today a
statement, made shortly after
he assumed the command at
the academy, that he wishes
to see athletic relations re-
esta blished between the service
academies.
These relations We're disrupted
after the football game of 1927 Re
cause the Naval Academy refused
to meet the Military Academy unless
the three year rule, limiting partici,
patton in Varsity athletics to three
years, was observed by the latter.
Admiral Robson also said that he
welcomed any move tending to bring
the institutions together and the
Navy would meet the Army on any
reasonable terms.
A former member of the football
and baseball teams at the Naval
Academy, Admiral Robson has
maintained his keen interest in
sports and has shown his desire on
several occasions to bring the serV-
ice schools to an agreement.
From the standpoint of the
Naval Academy, December
would be suitable date for the
game with the Army team,
though the schedule already ar
ranged has imposed hard task
on the Navy team.
1t is realized here that no restrict
tons could he imposed on the Army
team If q game is played this season
as It would be unfair to expect it to
drop players and reorganiZe its team.
However, 1t is pointed out that
the Army team, as now constituted
would conflict very little, if any, with
the four year rule which is the pro
posed basis Of compromise between
the service schools.
eagle, though playing football be-
fore he entered the academy, repre-
scented an institution which, accord
ing to n statement from West Point
was not of collegiate rank while
Murrel had but one year of colegi-
ate football at the University of Min

chief ones affected by any eligibi |

Pilots Roy L. Mitchell and Byron K

They exceeded by hour, % minutes
and So seconds the old mark set re-

WEAKNESS brought the airmen to q
landing. amid the riotous acclaim Of
$4,000 persons, one Of whom was killed
after a flight which became more haz-
ardouS and difficult as the days aloft
cut down their physical endurance.
Survive Severe Storm.
The climax of the attempt came but
two men said it nearly killed them.
They survived q severe electrical storm
which damaged their refueling plane in
a forced landing and stopped all other
air traffic to fight on for the record, at
tanned IL hours later.
Exhausted, the airmen Immediately
were taken under guard to a hotel, to
sleep throughout the day If they desire.
They were spent. I'VE broke the record.

Resting with them was Ernest

High lights of the feat followed rap
idly last night and early today as the
record was reached, q new mark was
set and the landing made.

Roads were jammed for miles and
the airport was crowded with spectators
when the record was eQualed shortly
before midnight. The crowd increased
as the Stinson-Detroiter monoplane,

a terrific outburst as the record was
set at 12:10:52. Rockets and flares were
released In salute to the airmen. A
display Of fireworks added to the bril-
lance of lights at the field.
A little later the cruising lights of
the ship appeared as the pilots drop
ped from the altitude Of 5000 feet
which they had held early In the night.
Twinkling against the darkness the
lights swung about the airport, straight
ened out to the east and then climbed
again. ..
Crowd Charges Police.
Thinking that the flight was to con-
tinue, the crowd tried to disperse, but
few had left their places at 1887 when
a red flare, the signal Of a landing, was
dropped from the plane.
Less than 10 minutes later the wheels
touched earth. Then the crowd charged;
police were helpless. The field was over
