COACHLESS MINES
APT TO Be TESTED
Princeton Wants Yale to
Adopt PIan-Great AIibi
for Tutors.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

~ RINCETON has sent word to
Yale asking the Ellis to agree to
rule in which base ball
coaches shall be seated in the
stands when teams of the two
universities meet next Spring. The
Yale board of athletic control will con-
slider the question on Monday and the
chances are said to be good that it will
acquiesce.
This brings to a head a matter which
has long been discussed in theoretical
way. It is believed that if Yale and
Princeton agree to let their ball tosserS
run their own game that sister members
of the Eastern Intercollegiate Base Ball
League newly formed viz Pennsylvania,
Dartmouth Cornell and Columbia, will
follow suit.
How the coaches feel about this there
is no need to ask 1t Is hard enough to
teach base ball to a bunch Of college
men-that is to say, real inside base
ball a la big league-without leaving
the team when the game actually is on.
But, as 1t happens, the coaches will have
no say. The opportunities for coaching
alibis, of course, are obvious and this
NAV appeal to the teachers as some
compensation.
A red hot member of the Yale base
ball committee was struck by great
idea when he first heard of the Prince
ton proposal.
IAN right. he said to the Yale
authorities, well agree to having our
base ball coach in the stands, If you will
put through a rule making the foot ball
coaches sit in the stands also"
They say there was lot of choking
over that one, but as it turned out, the
base ball man was spoofing. At least
partially so, and he will enter no OBJ
lection to a seasons try-out OF coach
less base ball games.
Yale and Princeton, it is said, will
continue their non-scouting agreement
in foot ball, and this base ball scheme
is a direct result of satisfaction as to
the way the foot ball idea has worked
out practically.

between Chinese and Soviet troops in

early this morning with Chinese losses
oficially reported at more than go
killed and many missing. Reinforce
ments were being rushed to the battle
area all day yesterday by China.
Marshall Chang Hsue Hliang ex-
pressed indignation at what he termed
the malicious propaganda being broad
cast by the Soviet. He said TaSs, the
official Russian news agency, has tried
to convince the world that whIe Rus
sian and Chinese troops have invaded
Russian territory.
This" he said, ais not true. Our
lines are 10 miles inside the boundary
Yesterday, while messages were being
broadcast from Harbarovsk denying re-
ports that Russian troops had invaded
Chinese territory, fighting was still go

He declared China was not aggressive
and only desired the determination OF
Communist influence in China. He ex-
pressed surprise that foreign public
opinion, which for 10 years has treated
the Soviets az criminal outcasts, should
now sympathise with Russia.

BY LIEUT.. NICK Manner,
First flyer to attempt nonstop round-trip
transcontinental flight.

transcontinental flight.
ROCK SPRINGS, Wyo, August IT,
We have been having our little difficulty
on this nonstop flight of ours from
Spokane to New York and back, but
Art Walker and are feeling fine and
all is well with this fine stanch ship,
the Sun God.
The difficulties, and they are nothing
to kick about, really, because dificul-
undertaking like this, have arisen from
our night contacts to refuel. When
we came over Rock Springs to make
our first refueling contact at that
point, the baby down on the field with
the floodlight so dazzled US with 1t that
we were blinded.
The light hit the propeller blades Of
the refueling ship and the reflected
glare darn near put our eyes out. The
result was that we were unable to see
exactly what we were doing and our
hose. That's what is likely to happen
in these night refueling contacts you
read about.
Wait for Moonlight.
We quickly dropped message to the
foodlight gentleman to cut of his arti-
f1e3al sun and told him we'd hang
aTpund till the moon got brighter. We
took ON what we could then in the way
OF fuel and then arranged for another
contact at z o'clock this morning.
When I write this we have success
fully accomplished six refueling con-
facts since we left Spokane Thursday
evening, and four of these were made
after dark. Believe me, these refuel-
ing pilots have done their job skill
fully. Flashlights have given us our
principal illumination in taking on
fuel after dark.
It's . ticklish job handling that re-
fueling hose at night Once, as I have
said, our propeller sliced a hole in the
hose. Another time the hose broke and
the gas came gushing out.
When we got over Rock Springs our
gasoline tanks sure were dry. The sup
ply we took on at San Francisco yes
terday morning didn't last as long as
we though 1t would. Over Rock Springs
We took on 800 gallons Of more gas and
gallons Of oil; that was In our flrst
contact there. Later we took on SO
gallons more Of gas.
Had Good Weather.
The weather has been swell, except
for o little rain over Salt Lake City,
and Art and are keeping very COM
Portable, all things considered. But
did you ever try to sleep in a para
chute? We've been kidnapping by
turn now and then, with our para
chutes on, and believe me they don't
make the best kind Of pajamas.
As we continue on toward the At
lantic seaboard we are increasingly
confident Of being successful in this
first attempt ever made at nonstop
round-trip transcontinental flight.
We expect to arrive In New York late
this afternoon and that marks the East
ern end of our flight. At New York
we'll hang over Roosevelt Field, out on
Long Island, give our plane a 1ine long
drink of gasoline, and then start on the
trek back home to Seattle.
Art and I send our very best to all
our friends. We wish they could be
along with us. We are both well and
feeling At to keep this up for days and
DAYS. We are getting plenty to eat and
you'd be surprised at the size OF our
appetites. -
