There were no caribou except a band Of 40 sighted up the Chande- lar. Wolf tracks were numerous. The rabbits had all disappeared and only few ptarmigan were left. There were TO signs of fox and only one lynx was seen.
 The two men did not feel like killing so big an animal as q moose and wasting the meat. Al Retzlaff has fish story which would be hard to beat. He says he caught 24 grayling. varying in length from 10 to 20 inches, in IS minutes.
 The unusual rainy season of the interior extended also up into the Endicotts. causing many hardships to the party. Ono night they camped nr a pc. nsula and w. at 3 am. to find that the river was cutting new channel and marooning them. There was bar ely time to pack their supplies to the mainland. With each trip the water through which they waded became deeper and the cur rent swifter, until it was up to their waists and they could hard iy keep their feet. Fifteen min utes after they were across, the river cut its new channel and the peninsula on which they had spent the night, was an island surround ed by raging torrents in which no man could swim. There was not even enough timber on the island to build raft. They would have been hopelessly mar ooned.
 Mir Marshall discovered in one place that the current was wash ing away willow trees 34 years old, proving that the flood must have been higher than it had been for 34 years. The climate of the Endicotts is ordinarily dry,

sore thumbs stretched upward. Many waterfalls foamed down the rocky walls while on the valley floor lay enormous boulders, some of them bigger than houses which had fallen from the turrets above.
 The canyon most resembling the Yosemite was one they found leading into the main North Fork. Eight miles long, enclosed by great cliffs, it was filled with the roar of waterfalls. Thirteen falls, over 200 feet high were counted in mile and a half A glacier laden peak, resembling the Mat terhorn, which overhung the val ley, added to the grandeur. Though th re were not the beautiful trees cn the floor of the conyon found in the Yosemite, the scene was nevertheless softened by the won derful contrasts in color of the mosses and shrubs-the dark green of Alaska Tea. deep red of a plant the Eskimos call "Ango- wuk"-,the crea m-colored reindeer

 In MT. Marshalls' opinion the Endicott country may be Hast stampeding ground for people who want to see what the continent was like a thousand years ago. The scenery is magnificent. Places which are as scientifically beauti- full and utterly wild as the Endi- colt or Brooks Range, are getting very scarce in the world.

 On Summit
 From their base camp they made their way to the summit of a table-topped mountain which was on the dividing line between the Arctic and Yukon watersheds. Ev- en if it had not been raining it would not have been possible to see the Arctic Ocean from there, as it was too far away. Just be- low the divide was the most fan tastic valley seen on the whole trip. Outlined against the sky ov- erhead were weird shapes of stone huge square blocks and "giant

PURDTE FLASHED GREAT FORM IN
 TOPPING BIC TEN
By FIELDING II. YOsT

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Dec. A. Consistency Of team and of game performance marked the record of Purdue in winning it's first Big Ten football championship.
 The Boilermakers had most, if not all, the clements which in the play of football games go to pro- duce what is generally called, the breaks of the game" but which to me is the game itself.
 They were good at running the ball, forward passing and kicking. They had good kicking and covering of kicks, and were good at running back kicks, ar indispensable part of the game.
 Purdues defense was good enough to make it the first team to stop Chicago and also the first to hold Iowa without a point, this latter feat being especially note worthy.
 In addition to the detail of play the morale of the squad was good Indicating the steady building which has gone cn at Purdue since Coach James M Phelan insisted the medi cine needed to make Purdue a foot ball factor was some big victory which would give the players con- fidence Victories over Kansas Aggies, Michigan, Chicago; Wis consin, Mississippi, Iowa and In- diana can be considered as filling the coach's prescription.
 Purdue is the eighth of the Big Ten teams to win an undisputed title while nine of the ten teams have either won the title or shared it with other teams when the schedule failed to select definite winner.
 Purdue took leadership in year, when teams of the Big Ten were Waging equal battles and since the title was won in such struggle as this, few will deny George Ade and John T. McCutcheon, famous Purdue alumni, the right to send out a collaboration in prose and picture declaring "The Moonlight's Fair Tonight Along the Wabash. ,

Starting blocks have come to stay as a distinct advancement in track equipment, if the overwhelming sentiment of college coaches and officials has anything to do with it, and it probably has. The older guard of the Amateur Athletic Union has declined for the time being to go so far as the National Collegiate A. A. in unqualified adopting the foot blocks for print CTS and murders but the A. A. U., reactionary thought it may seem at times, believes firmly in the ad- vantage of using the blocks.
 Like the tenth-second watches, however, the blocks have arisen as a bugaboo to the record breakers, such as George Simpson of Ohio State, because of the fact that the International athletic authorities have been slow to accept innova- tions in practice and equipment. The I. A. A. F. did not accept the tenth-second watch until it was too late to put Charley Paddock's s100-yard record of g 5-10 on the books. The same ruling powers may not adopt the starting blocks, or sanction their use, in time to certify the record of g 4-10 made by Simpson at Chicago last June.
 Track authorities are decidedly split on the subject but a majority do regard the blocks as necessarily productive of faster sprinting time. So long as the runner covers 100 wards solely under his own power it hardly seems reasonable that getaway from blocks, on level with the ground, will inspire any more speed than the charge out o1 holes dug in the cinders.
 "As I see it." said George Bres- nahan. Iowa track coach, "tne chief advantages are that the use of blocks standardizes the starting, avoids the hazards ot having noies made in the track and speeds up the meet"
 On the other hand, Lawson Rob- crtson. Olympic head coach, be- lieves the blocks give a distinct ad- vantage. permitting longer start ing stride, and Charley Paddock regards them as good for at least a ward advantage at the outset of a race. :,
 It's an interesting debate and likely will go on until the ln- ternational A. A. F. meets in Berlin next May to do something about it. Already the American advo- cates of the blocks have shipped samples abroad for foreign delegates to tezt and examine.
 Managers may come and go, so

far as St. Louis major league ball clubs are concerned, but the pow ers-behind the throne will continue to be Branch Hickey, the aggressive business organizer of the Cardinals, and Philip De Catesby Ball, owner of the Browns.
 Ball, it develops, was merely in a playful mood when some discus- sion arose recently in Canada about selling the Browns for a price of around S3,0O0000. The understand ing in St. Louis of those close to Ball is that the former Federal League magnate will not sell the Browns under any conditions, un- til they win an American League pennant. They say he would be satisfied to step out, once he en- joyed the satisfaction of seeing the victory flag fly from Sportsman's Park.
 St. Louis, with it's huge new arena seating 21,000 and big enough to envelop Madison Square Garden so far as interior dimensions go, is bidding strongly for a place in the fistic spotlight. The Missouri me- tropolis failed in an effort to land the amateur fistic plum of the year, the 1880 National A. A. U. cham pionships, which were awarded to Boston again, but is rapidly taking rank with other big centers in fis- tic prominence.

Flyers Receive Congratulations
on Successful Feat From
President Hoover

Spokane. WASH, Aug. 2l.-R-
Nick Manner and Art Walker we're
home today after having pushed the
Sun God across the continent and
back In fi''e-day nonstop refuel-
ing flight.
The planes landing gear touched
the ground at Felts field at 5:50:40
p. m. tP. 8. T) last night, a minute
less than five days after the ship was
sent into the west towards San Fran
cisco, the first refueling point.
Manner brought the ship to a per-
feet landing and before it had been
TAXED into position near a temporary
reviewing stand, Walker leaped into
the arms Of the mauling crowd that
had broken through double line OF
policemen and national guardsmen.
A few minutes later Manner, his
legs wobbly. and clothes oil-spattered,
climbed out of the tiny cabin of the
plane. Both flyers apparently were
in excellent physical condition. but
were unable to hear ordinary conver-
Sation.
The Sun God was ordered to the
ground by the executive committee OF
the National Air Derby association.
The executive committee said it be-
lieved the objects Of the flight-to
show the feasibility Of transcon-
tinental commercial refueling systems
had been achieved and that further
flight would be in effect an anti-cli-
max. The plane flew 7200 miles on
the trip. Manner and Walker were
congratulated by President Hoover.
In q message to them, he said:
Congratulations on the successful
completion of your nonstop refueling
flight across the continent and re-
turn. This was q further demon
stration Of the ever widening scope
and practical utility of aircraft"

railroads in the northwest today or
dered an embargo en- shipments Of
rye, barley and oats from Aug. %
to Aug. 81 in compliance with rec
concentrations made yesterday by
the Northwest Shippers advisory
board.
All railroads in the northwest
handling grain had announced ap-
proval. Of the embargo today with
the exception Of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis road. Officials Of that line
had said previously, however, that
they would order the embargo If
other lines took such action.
Stored supplies Of the embargocd
grains and. low prices prevailing
made it advisable for farmers to re-
duce the movement Of these crops,
advisory board executives said.
Farmers, the grain trade and the
railroads agreed on the advisability
OF the curtailment now.
Reports from Duluth today indi-
Gated that only about 6,O0O, 900 more
bushels Of grain can be accepted at
warehouses Of 4 total capacity Of
81, 600 900 bushels. More than 20,-

D|R|GIBLE PRACTICES
RELEASING AIRPLANE
Los Angeles Returns to Hangar
After Ten-Hour Flight;
Hooks Hold Craft

Lakehurst. N. j., Aug. 21.-(AP)
The United States navy dirielble
Los Angeles returned to its hangar
early today after l0ls hour flight
over central New Jersey.
While in flight the dirigible prac-
ticcd picking up and releasing an
aeroplane. The plane, .piloted by
a navy man whose identity was not
revealed, was caught by wire hung
from the stern of the Los Angeles,
which connected with a hook on top
of the plane.
Flying at the same speed as that
of the Los Angeles the pilot brought
his plane in position under the stern
of the great airship and swung the
hook on his wing into the U-shaped
wire alta hm ent. The propeller
of the plane was continued in motion
to prevent the tail from dropping.
This difficulty will be surmounted
by attaching another hook to the
tail of the plane and another further
back on the dirigible, it was ex-
planned.
After flying together for several
minutes the plane was cut loose
from the airship as the pilot drew
the hook from the yoke and swung
the craft toward the ground.
