Girl Flier On Ocean Hop Due In Paris Bad Weather Awaits Brave Aviators in English Channel Region Ghosts of Lost Planes On Sea Bottom Beckon No Life Raft Carried, but Have Rubber Suits (Hy United Press) Paris, Oet. |13,—TTnforseeii haz ards developed in the path of pretty Ruth Elder’s airplane flight from New York to Paris today a few hours beforo she and George liable man, her pilot, were due over the French coast. Weather conditions were so un favorable that even should their monoplane American Girl complete the ocean span of 3600 imiles with out mishap, there was every indica tion that the daring aviators would run into storms in the region of the English channel. Big Mystery There was no way to tell this af ternoon whether Miss Elder, Halde man and their plane, American Girl, were above the sea or in it, plunging toward the bottom to join in death the crews of Old Glory, Sir John Carling, St. Raphael, and White Bird. Lindbergh flew almost unseen un til he reached the Irish coast; so did Byrd and Brock and Sclilee. Fog May Hide It It would be possible for the plane, if flying at a great altitude, to pass close to a ship in the usual haze without seeing or being seen. If still in the air, Miss Elder and Haldcman faced another night of flying over tjlie sea to reach the French coast in the morning and land at Paris during the forenoon, after a final stage through fog and probably drizzling rain. Emergency equipment did not in clude, as most of the trans-Atlantic planes, a rubber boat. Instead, each of the fliers carried a rubber suit in which, itt. was #said, they would be able to remain afloat for 72 hours. Each suit has apparatus in the hood by which breath could be condensed into water. FRENCH FORGET OWN HEROES As “Flying Flapper” Nears, Paris Plans Huge Welcome (By United Press) Paris, Oct. 12.—So great is tlie interest in Ruth Elder’s trans-At lantic flight that France has prac tically forgotten the three great French flying expeditions now in progress—one*to South America, one to Indo-China, and the, third to Beirut, Syria and return without a stop. Iu the excitement over Ruth Elder, the enthusiasm of Parisians transcends even that which marked the hours of waiting for Lindbergh. High officials will gather at Le Bourgeg when and if there are in dications that the flight is to be successful. Plane for a great re ception already have been made. All day Wednesday, newspaper offices were besieged with queries regarding the progress of the Ameri can Girl.

Y.—The record for continuous sleep is believed to be held by a land snail owned by Wal ter F. Webb of this city. This little mollusk has remained dormant for 30 years, with the exception of one summer when Mr. Webb gave it the right conditions for becoming ac tive. This interlude occurred 20 years ago, so that the snail has now equalled the fabled record of Rip YanWiinkle, and its owner says it appears to be able to continue its domancy for an indefinite period.

Mr. Euwer, who gave an ad dress last) January which was con sidered one of the best of the year, is one of the best-known of an in teresting group of poets of the Northwest.

His drawings have ap peared in many periodicals, includ ing the magazine section of the Oregon Journal. Ranks High as Artist “As an artist and illustrator he stands in the front rank, having f drawn things’ ever since he can remember. He has illustrated his books, and his drawings have ap peared in 'most of the leacfing peri odicals. His pastels and watqr colors of the great Northwest and of the battle-scarred regions of Franco have added greatly to his record as a painter,” said the Elli son-White Celebrity Bureau, under whose direction he is making a western tour. “Critics have said that Anthony Euwer has done for the great North west what Joaquin Miller did for the Californians, what James Whit comb Biley did-for the Hooeiers, and Robert W. Service lias done for Alaska and the Yukon. Mt. Hood Stories Gripping “His 'Rhymes of Our Valley,’ stories of the great valley at the foot of Mt. Hpod, immediately marked him as a producer of that, big, gripping, human stuff that stirs men’s souls. He does not pull the wool over the eyes of his audi ence, but when there is any there, he pulls it. off so that they can see as he would have them see.

Lockwood annexed the first three sets in the match by scores of 0-4, 6-1, 6-2. In the first set things look ed dark for Lockwood as Almquist was leading by 4 to 2, however, Lockwood took a firm grip on his racquet and won "the next four straight games giving him the set. After tho flurry in the first sot Lockwood began to drive his op ponent from one side of tho court to the other. Miost, of the points came as a result of Lockwood’s hard drives to Almquist’s backhand. Both men were accurate in their ability to place the ball iu the hardest pos sible place to recover. * 200 Watch Match Lockwood had tho ability to “tuck away” most of the set-ups that occured in the match. Alm quist was a little ragged at times but ho had tho harder drive of the two. Lockwood has a peculiar back hand stroke and is as good in that department of the game as he is in the fore-hand stroke. A total of 16 games went to deuce points. Out of this number 8 were deuce games in the first set and 4 each in the last two sets. A gallery of about 200 peo de watched the joust for championship of *lie uni versity.

Golden Bear Sends Strong Eleven North California’s Pre - Season yictories Point Toward Championship I Speed Battle to Be Played in Portland j — Last Workout Scheduled For Tonight Persistent reports continually drifting into Eugene from the south verify the unpredieted strength of the Golden Bears from the Univer sity of California. Confident of victory, the Bears arc enroute to Portland, where they will clash with the Oregon Webfoots on Saturday. Regardless of the pessimistic trend of the news and the attitude of the coaches, the Oregonians are in fine mental condition for tho approaching contest. The similar ity of tlie style of play used by both California and Oregon lends sup port to the possibility that the thrills of the Vandal fray will be doubled. Last night’s practice menu scheduled plenty of hard work for the Ducks, but there was no scrimmage. Spike Leslie, who scouted the Californla-St. Mary’s game, brings back authentic word of the poten tiality of the southerners. Their defense, says Leslie, is equal to that) of the Idahoians, and their at tack is tricky and full of surprises. Like Oregon, the Bears are basing their attack on open formations with plenty of passes in the back ground. The Webfootors first con ference tilt proved to be one of speed against power. The second, however, will witness speed pitted against speed. .trasses rroDamy jjeciaing t acxors Although Idaho was reputed to bo Weak in defense against an aerial barrage, the success of the Webfoot passes was not particu larly outstanding. What Oregon can do with a team that is said'to be skilled in knocking down enemy throws, will probably be one of the deciding factors in the game on Saturday. It the Hear victory over »t. Mary’s can bo considered a har binger, Nibs Price is on the right road toward a wonder team of tho regime of Andy Smith. From what appeared to be only mediocre ma terial, *he Californian coach has de veloped a team that is being watched by the other championship aspirants on the coast. Coach Me Ewan will send his men through the last drill tonight before talcing them to Portland tomorrow. In Portland the Webfoots will take a light workout early Friday after noon of Multnomah field. The Cal ifornians are scheduled to run through a light practice lat^r on id the day.

If somo students who have sent appli cation cards for 'work to Mrs. C. R. Donnelly, secretary of employment for men, and have gotten no results, it may relieve them to know that their faith in Mrs. Donnelly’s abil ity to know their names when they fail to write them on the cards or to know other things essential to their identification which they fail to give has led them to expect too much. Cards have come in, Mrs. Donnelly said, some of which do not havo tho name of tho sender, others which have no address, and others fail to give the schedules. Since the stu dent directory is not yet out, Mrs. Mrs. Donnelly finds it impossible to locate the authors of these applica tions when she has work for them.
