show a light or set OF q rocket to
attract attention.
And, to conclude, while at the
bottom we shall have to have means
of lighting the everlasting dark OF
those mysterious regions. We don't
have dark alone to counter, how
ever; water Is never quite clear.
Relatively clear water reduces visi-
bility to the same extent as a mild
fog. Water must be particularly
clear to afford visibility Of 10 yards.
Lights Outside Cabin.
Now we shall have several power
full lights fixed outside the cabin.
But, as everyone who drives a car
knows well. the reflection of head
lights can be binding in foggy
weather. Side illumination, such "a
that from street lamps, Is much
more effective. So we are placing
our searchlights outside the cabin
and above the ports; the light
shines down from above. The focal
center Of the main lights will be
fixed at a point about two and one
half yards from the portfolios, SO
that we can photograph fish clearly
illuminated against a dark back
ground. To observe smaller animal
life, we will use weaker lights placed
closer to the portfolios. Each search
light Is enclosed in q steel casing
with a plexiglass window. Mirrors
and lenses will focus the beam in
the right direction.
Obviously, however, the lights will
not be on all the time. They will be

(Sirth of a. Series.)

BRUSSELS, Aug. 9.-Although
there's little enough space in our
cabin, it will be crammed with in
struments. Some will be for naviga-
tion, some to keep the occupants
alive, and some, of course, for
scientific observation.
In respect of navigation, the pilot
must be informed as precisely as
possible on the movement of his
ship. And the first consideration is
depth. Water pressure will tell us
how deep we are, just as diminish
ing air pressure tells an aeronaut
by means of an altimeter how high
he is above the earth.
We will have two manometers:
One indicating the depth by hand
on a dial, the other registering
depth on roll of paper. Both will
have an important purpose in the
test dive, in which the Bathyscaphe
will go down without passengers.
The first will release ballast at a
fixed depth by electric impulse; the
second will check the first, proving
that the desired depth was reached.
Instrument Entirely New.
We have, in addition. designed an
entirely new instrument. The in
terror of steel ball is open to the
sea water under pressure. Because
it is liable to expand with pressure,
1t will enlarge as we go deeper. This
gadget floats in liquid inside another

side. In addition to oxygen SUI
ficient for the actual dive. we shall
carry emergency oxygen reserves
for an additional "a to 80 hours.

flight, Prof. Picard and his aid.

in the alright gondola of their bal
loon an unscheduled extra 10 hours
because the vent controlling the re-
lease of hydrogen from the balloon
to permit them to come down
jammed. As Prof. Picard wrote
calmly in his log. We are prisoners
of the upper air. However, the
coolness of night reduced gas pres
sure enough to unjam the vent and
they were eventually able to get
down.-Editor' Note.)
Secret Device to Be Used.
Radio is not particularly effective
under water. 1t doesn't carry far
enough to be of any use for our
purposes. But we shall be ideally
situated to use supersonic frequen-
cies. Fortunately, the British Ad-
miralty has loaned us the necessary
equipment, a still-secret device
developed during the war for COM
munication between submarines. So
we shall be in constant contact with
the mother ship. However, we are
also carrying small radio to signal
our position once we reach the
surface.
For added security, we are carry
ing various other signal systems.
For instance, small floats will be
fixed to the outer hull which can be
let loose at the bottom. On reach
ing the surface, they will either

container. The slightest increase in
size Of the inner steel ball will drive
the liquid higher in a glass tube
We believe this instrument will
register variations in depth OF as
little as a yard at 21a miles below
the surface.
To check the speed of their rise,
aeronauts Use little windmill
whose blades lie horizontally to the
earth. The direction in which 1t
twirls shows II they are going up
or down and the speed at which it
goes around shows the speed Of
ascent or descent. We shall use
similar instrument.
It will be fixed on the float and
its findings will be reported by
electric current. A buzZer system
will send a dot-daSh signal If we're
going up, dash-dot signal If we
are going down. So If we have to
douse all lights the better to see
the ocean life, our navigator will
still be able to check the primary
movement of the craft.
The most important instrument

scaphe. Our range Is limited and
we shall anyway be in constant
supersonic contact with the mother
ship, which will follow us on the
surface. But If we want to check
the contours of the ocean bed, or
the drift Of deep currents, we must
have compass to prove direction.
But that's easier said than done.
Remember we're totally enclosed in
q steel sphere. Earth magnetism
such as influences the compass
needle doesn't penetrate steel. Reg
ular submarines use gyroscopic COM
passes which are too cumbersome
for our purposes. So we are ex-
perimenting with compass fixed
to the outside of our cabin (such
as airplanes use to overcome the
engines magnetic influence; but
we won't 60 into detail on this until
We see II 1t will work.
Another problem is air. Two men
must breathe in an alright space
of some 141 cubic feet. There must
be some method Of replenishing
the oxygen the passengers absorb.
What's more, there must be some
means of drawing off the carbon
dioxyde the passengers breathe out,
also the humidity they exhale. The
problem is so similar to that en-
countered on OUR Shakespeare
flights that we are using some of
the same devices; let's hope they'll
bring us luck! Alkali containers will
absorb the carbonic acid; COM
pressed oxygen will supply that
need; but humidity is another mat
ter, and one Of far greater concern
in the present dive than ever it
was in our stratosphere flights.
'Tt's the Humidity"
We shall have to remain boxed in
for hours, sometimes quite near the
surface, in tropical waters. The heat
will be considerable. And-it isn't
the heat, its the humidity! Chemi-
Gals to absorb humidity are of little
use; they usually produce corrosives
which are too dangerous for our
purposes. So we are using silica gel
uetikon, porous stone which alb
serbs even water without dissolving.
What's more, heating will dry it out
for renewed use.
Another problem Is that once we
get back to the surface, our mother
ship, the scaldis, should find us
quickly. The cabin is not a place
Of comfort and we'll want to get out
as soon as possible. Il should add,
however, that we have means of
ventilating the cabin, drawing fresh
air in as soon as we are at the sur
face.) Surface currents and other
deeper water movements which can
push us along as we rise should not
leave us more than a mile or so at
most from the Scaldis when we get
to the surface, and the crew of the
mother ship should be able to see
US promptly. But we have to antici-
pate the worst, to be on the safe

But seeing Is not enough: We
have to be able to describe what

can fail; there may not be time to
take notes. So we will carry q

verbal notes of what we see and
what happens which can be tran
scribed later aboard the mother
ship.

Mississippi Pair
Grid Air Game
ConerIy, Poole Breok
Records in Big Yeor
For Passing Attack
By the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The Ma
tional Collegiate Athletic Bureau
today wrote down Charley Conerly
and Barney Poole of Mississippi as
the greatest collegiate football "bat-
terry" in modern history.
Never before, recited the bureau,
did the same school provide the
champion in both classifcations and
never before did both set all-time
records.
The year 1947 also supplies two
other great statistical batteries
Pitcher Johnny Rauch and
Catcher Dan Edwards of Georgia,
who finished second in their re-
spect,ve classifcations; and Hurler
Fred Enke, jr., and Receiver John
Smith of Arizona, who finished third
and fourth in their listings, re-
spectively.
Conerly set a new record in pass
competitions with 1873 out of 233
attempts, to smash the old mark
Of ia set by Wilson Bad" Schwenk
Of Washington University (St.
Louis) in 1941. His completion per-
centage of ST. per cent erased the
all-time record Of 55.7 by Davie
O'Brien Of Texas Christian in 1888
for passers throwing $50 or more.
Poole Sets Catching Mark.
He failed by single pass to tie
the record for attempts of 234 orig
inally set by O'Brien in 1887 and
tied by Schwenk in 1941. And his
18 touchdown tosses were the high
est recorded in recent seasons.
Poole's So catches rubbed out
Henry Stanton's mark of so for
Arizona in 1941 and his eight touch
down passes caught were high for
the year.
Rauch's SO competitions earned
him the ranking of fourth in all
time records, with only Conerly,
Schwenk and All-America Ray
Evans ahead of him. Evans COM
pleted 101 in 1912 for Kansas.
Edwards 38 catches only made
him runnerup this year, but that
total would have won him the ma
tlonal title in seven of the last 10
seasons.
Enke's passes were the most pro-
ductive, bringing 1,406 yards, only
81 short of the all-time mark Of
LAST shared by O'Brien in 1888 and
Schwenk in 1941. Only other hurler
ahead of Enke is Paul Governali Of
Columbia, who passed for 1,442
yards in 1912.

1947 top man in yards with 568.

The Bullets put up a good fight

Caps once while going on q nine

And hasn't every other team In the

has only won a single game
trounced the Caps?
The answer to all these questions
is a loud and hearty "yes," but the
fact remains the Bullets still are
looking for victory over the WASH
