While taking off on return flight from Philadelphia to Quantico Va 150 miles away his landing gear struck obstacle and as he climbed to safe altitude he looked below to see the ground crew signalling lranticaly He realized that the wheels of his plane badly damaged that either to continue his flight or attempt landing would be extremely hazardous An ambulance and fire engine dashed onto the feld but Sanderson had intention of using his parachute to bail out To the astonshment of the watchers below he continued his flight southward. Eventually he reached Aberdeen Md but by that time the wrecked gear, swinging like pendlum had SO damaged his lower wing and the fuseage that crack-up was imminent. The ship being hammered to pieces. He would have to land leave it. Emergency messages had been flashed to all Army and Navy stations to the south to be on the lookout for the stricken plane second rescue crew was standing by at Aberdeen Army Air Corps field With the motor wide open he crcled the field, dropping his money and his watch wrapped in service with his handkerchief Then he glided the shorene and brought his crippled craft down Chesapeake Bay with splash, yet without injury to the flyer or further damage to the plane Even when the had shifted from fire engine and ambulance to rowboa and wanted to take him ashore he refused to leave until the salvaging of his arship was assured Log of the U. s.

State School Board
 Blocks Brain Bowl Missouri Game

New Britain, Conn.,, Nov. 16-(UP) -The state board of education today turned thumbs down on any post season games for the undefeated- united New Britain Teachers College team.
 Coach Jim Kaiser's team has re- ceived two invitations from other teachers colleges to play in post season games, one of them coming from Maryville, Mo, Teachers Col- lege, which also is undefeated.
 When the satte board got wind of the invitations 1t went into session and then came up with this state ment:
 "The policy of the state board of education is opposed to post-season, intersectional contests.
 "The regular scheduled season at New Britain has been completed and invitations for additional games will not be accepted.
 "The board believes that the best interests of the Teachers College, the student body and the state will be served when every youth has an equal opportunity to participate in sports and health activities.
 "Over- emphasis in athletics, how ever, frequently leads to many dis- turbing practices both in an effort to build up winning team and in other problems that arise within the insti- tution,"

The Holy Cross team won two games from the league leaders the cornell team. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way with only a few pins difference each game, Holy Cross rolling 1928 while Cornell bowled 1927 for three games.
 The Duke team rolled very good scores the first and second game but came mighty close to losing the third.
 The Temple team was handicap ped by the absence of one man al- though the rest of the team rolled good scores they weren't big enough to overcome the Duke team.
 The Pittsburgh team rolled two good games and fell down very bad in the third game to win two games from the tough Purdue team. The Purdue team after being badly beaten the first two games they made a great comeback to win the third big margin
 The Colgate team won two games from the Fordham but set a record for a new low for the third game. The Fordham team seemed as though they just couldn't get start ed until the third game which they won very easily.
 The dual life of the Colgate An- chor man Piedmonte which has mystified the league since it started has finally come to light and now the league can rest at ease once more and settle down to bowling again. Piedmonte went around leading children into mischief by the way Piedmonte is the duck that played in the picture with Baby Sandy in the Little Accident.

 Hanover, N. H., November 16. -- (Up) - Unpredictable Dartmouth goes against Cornell here Saturday but whether the big Green will sure prise Its Ivy League rival still puzzled already -befuddled experts today.
 The boys, who make weekly pres dictions based on form, crystal balls coins, formulas and other scientific devices, nodded their heads wisely at mention of Dartmouth when the season started for Coach Earl (RedJ Blaik was rebuilding with two regu- lars, l4 juniors and e handful oi sophormores from Q mediocre frost eleven.
 Dartmouths football nickname - "The Big Green" - seemed quite appropriate with, 15 lettermen, in. cluding nine regulars, lost through graduation. Then, too, five of tho teams six major games were roac contests.
 Though turning in lopsided win: over st. Lawrence and Hampden. Sydney, Blaik's charges failed ts impress. The line showed power but was ragged on both offense ai1t defense. Blockers staggered aheae of bali carriers like pleasure. ing Alumni on homecoming day
 Players were shifted, and linemei were equipped with new defensive tactics. The squad showed suffi cient improvement, the expert thought, to make the team sligh favorite over c sub-par Navy eleven That proved to be the first wroni prediction as the game ended in [ scoreless tie.
 Couldn't "Click". |
 The Indians continued along unl beaten trail with dull thought defi nite victories over LaFayette ant Harvard. In the Stadium, BlaiI juggled his reserve-sky squad t capitalize fully on scoring chance that brought two touchdowns and !; field goal. Against Harvard, the lin really clicked, failing to yield first down. But Bill Hutchinsoi was the only back able to dent tn crimson sophomore frontier.
 Blaik, dissatisfied with the team puerile punch, installed new of fensive wrinkles for the Yale gam in the Bowl. As in the Harvarl clash, the Indians were made short enders by . majority of the selectors Hutchinson's running against tn Eiis was spectacular. Jim Bau man, slowed by an old lege injur, showed cool competency as a forwarI passer. and the line turned in an other great job. In the field hous after Dartmouths 33-0 triumph Blaik himself was undecide, whether the team had arrived sud denly or whether Yale was weak.
 The experts, however, were Iiearl certain that Dartmouth really we an underrated club and promptl picked the team to defeat Prince ton and complete it's conquest of tn Big Three on successive Saturday Again they were wrong as the once defeated Tigers clawed to 6 9-7 vii
 Cornell, winner of six straigt major games, will be the favorit this Saturday, but the Indians ma deal another upset. |

Providence, R. l., Nov. 16 - (U. P.) - Coach Fuss McLaughry spent considerable time with his backfield reserves today as the battered Bears readied for a "breather" game with Connecticut Saturday. Captain John McLaughry, son of the coach, and Bones Stepczyk, both on the injured list probably will be held out to rest for the final game with Rutgers.
