SAN FRANCISCO, Gal, July 12. A floating ball which flashes it's signal as far as 10 miles over open water may go far toward averting the mysterious disappearance of ocean fliers.
 Leon F. Douglass, wealthy in ventor of the hollow metal sphere with its 91 light-reflecting facets, says it would spring free when a plane hit the water. A sea anchor = parachute-lik device - would keep it stationary Douglass has offered to supply the device free to any fliers. Each sphere would bear the name of the plane carry ing it.

PASADENA, Calf, Dec. 27.-Side-
line trainers, strictly of the layman
variety, examined the injury rolls Of
the Tennessee and Southern Califor-

the vaunted Vols from Knoxville
had more to worry about than the

Jones could view with anxiety the

Neyland of Tennessee is uncommun-

the terror of Tennessee will be in
the starting lineup if he's able to
walk into the Rose Bowl New Year
Day without the aid of crutches and
two shoulder-bearers.
For sentimental reasons, if moth
ing else, will Coach Neyland send
into the lineup the lad who has
been the mainstay of his team for
three years. Whether Cafego will
be able to stay in action more than
the few moments he played in the
Auburn or kentucky games remains
to be seen, and Maj. Neyland, Train

Fullback Banta still is hobbling
around with lame knee, injured in

Smith, all-America guard, will trot
onto the Rose Bowl turf with his
hand in cast, memento of Troys

The Southern delegation observed
that Maj. Neyland, strict disciple
marian, was more worried over the
round of social events arranged for
his team than anything else. The
round, however, is over

workout today, with gates barred to
outsiders. Cafego, who didn't ap-

night he hopes to keep in shape by
light exercise from now on. and
hopes in large letters to be in top

ultimate repercussions on domestic
trade on the abrogation of the U. S.

might be hit hardest if the Far

CHICAGO, July 28.-Wheat prices
f1uctuated nervously today, alter
nately rising above then dropping
below previous closing levels and
finishing unevenly lower.
Continued good milling demand,
less favorable crop news from the
spring wheat belt and strength in
foreign markets helped an early up
turn of about cent. Later, private
reports of good rains in the domes-
tic Northwest and a forecast for
showers in Canada touched off the
selling which was particularly de-
pressing to May, 1910, contracts,
which slumped more than a cent a
bushel. Some of the selling of the
latter was encouraged by belief that
exports this season may be smaller
than last year.
