Three or four others also were treated and left. Those In the hos pital were suffering from exposure and bruises. Two members of the crew were burned about the feet and two others of the crew suffered broken ankles fighting the flames. They are In a hospital here. No Panic On Board. According to passengers and kiembers of the crew, there was no undue excitement and the trans fer of all hands from the burning vessel to rescue ships was accom plished as smoothly as circumstan ces would permit. There were many women and children among the passengers and some of them left the blazing ves sel In the dark hours before dawn scantily clad. Some were in only their night clothing. All wore lire preservers until they were landed. Following the safe removal of all passengers, the Lenape was scut tled inside the Deleware break waters, the Clyde line announced today.

The game which started shortly before 3 o clock this afternoon Is the last for the year and the school will immediately turn Ita athletic ac tlvillea into basket ball. Preceding the contest today the athletic field was officially dedU rased. Th field has been named Vlulay Field, In honor of Dr. 11. ('.

The field was officially pre sented to the hlxh sc lnol by Paul Geddes, president of the alumni association. It was accepted by Don Ferguson., president of .the hlKh school student body. Although Roseburg is not lim ed to win today's game, the teuni la expected to conclude tha sea son with real fight. The high school has been working under a terrible handicap this year. Only four men on the team had ever seen a football game, while all are very light. In tptte of- this fact a fighting team has heen develop ed, which against a team of equal weight, at Urania Pass, I hey out fought their opponents and lost In the lust few minutes of the game only on a tluko play.
