KELTON, GREGG, AND TUCKERMAN UNABLE TO FLY AT MINEOLA

One of the reasons why the University Aeronautical Society failed to score in the air meet at Mineola Friday was that only three of the six men entered were able to fly. E. H. Kelton, Occ., D. Gregg, 4 E.S., and R. Tuckerman '20 took no part in the flights. L. T. Lanman '20 and J. B. Garver, 1L., entered the race, but an inferior machine kept them far in the rear over the entire course. R. B. Varnum, Occ., placed fourth in the acrobatics but did not score.

Kelton and Gregg, who had flown from Framingham Friday morning, were obliged to land in an uninhabited part of Long Island because their gasoline had given out; before they could get the right kind of fuel and cover the remaining distance to Mineola it was already past 7 o'clock. Incidentally, because no report of their arrival came through to Boston until the Crimson telegraphed to Colonel Moose, commanding officer at Mitchell Field, the next day, considerable anxiety was caused in Cambridge over their non-arrival. Tuckerman, who had been saved for the altitude event, did not compete because this event was called off on account of darkness.

The only accident of the day, which dispatches Friday night declared to be serious, turned out to be a trifling one. W. G. Knowles, a Lehigh flyer entered in the cross-country race, turned over soon after the start. Although the plane was badly wrecked he escaped with only a few slight scratches; the next day he was able to attend the banquet of the Flying Association in New York.

At this banquet of the Intercollegiate Flying Association, held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Saturday evening, officers of the association for next year were announced as follows: president, M. Pyne, of Princeton; vice-president, O. H. Kelton, Occ., of the University; secretary, R. Currie, of Columbia; treasurer, Louis Dressere, of the University of Pittsburgh.
