OLER BREAKS RECORD
MIDE BY MOFFITT
New Figures Came in Saturday's
Meet on Franklin Field;
Championship Winners
Tom Moffitt's feat of breaking the
intercollegiate record in the high
Jump, which he made on Pranklin
Field in 1807, and which record was
maintained at 6 feet 3*4 inches until
Saturday, was broken when Oler, of
Yale, cleared the bar at 6 feet 4Vi
inches, establishing a new record.
To those who had an opportunity to
watch it, the struggle between Oler
and Richards for the high jump hon
ors was unparalleled as an exhibition
of splendid sportsmanship and athle
tic prowess. Richards was looked up
on as a sure winner. He had cleared
the bar at 6 feet 5 inches in the relay
competition on Franklin Field last
month. This established a new colle
giate record and no one dreamed that
the I'ornell wizard would be defeated.
When the bar reached 6 feet %
inch, Johnstone, of Harvard, still was
in the fight. But that was as high as
the Crimson jumper could go. Then
it developed into an exciting contest
between the Eli and the Cornelian.
Finally the stick was placed at 6 feet
3Vi inches, which was one-fourth of
an inch higher than the record held
by Moffitt. Oler quickly leaped over
at this height and Richards finally ac
complished it on his third and final
trial.
Clears the liar
Then It was announced that the bar
was to be placed at 6 feet 4V4 inches.
Oler went back to try it, with the eyes
of Richards and the majority of the
spectators on him. He missed it the
first time. The next time he went in
the air, landed in the sand pit and
looked up to see the bar in place—he
had done it. Richards rushed to shake
his rival by the hand and then took
his place to attempt the feat himself.
Once, twice, three times, did the Cor
nell wonder essay the leap, but each
time the bar fell with him into the
pit.
Leaping ¥o 'tfife'fiet When he kne'iV
that he was licked and that his ri
val from Yale was the intercollegiate
champion and record holder, Richards
hurried over to again grasp Oler's
hand and congratulate him. Then
while the Eli tried to equal Richard's
collegiate record of 6 feet ft inches, the
Jthacan stood near and offered advice.
Rut Oler could not accomplish it. The
high jump afforded a fine example of
the good fellowship existing among
college athletes.
The other record broken was also
one of long standing. J. R. Dewitt, of
Princeton, threw the hammer 164 feet
3 n inches at the intercollegiates at
New York city in 1902. Cornell won
the meet with 45% points. Harvard
was second. Championship winners
were:
100-yard dash —Smith, of Michigan;
time, 10 seconds.
220-yard dash-—-Smith, of Michigan;
time, 22 seconds.
440-yard dash—Meredith, Pennsyl
vania; time, 48 seconds.
Half mile run—Meredith, Pennsyl
vania; time, 1.54 2-5.

Princeton: time, 4.22 4-5.

You save $5.00 on $62.00 for, say, 5 months.

Oil WILL
STMIID BY THE CODE
Will Not Sign New Borough Laws
Unless They Are Very Impor
tant to the Commonwealth
Governor Brumbaugh proposes to
stand by the borough code which he
recently approved and bills providing
for changes In the law relating to
boroughs will have to be of vital im
portance to secure approval. The
Governor announced early in his term
that he would not approve of amend
ments to the school code unless the
State Board of Education passed upon
them and they were considered essen
tial to the school administration <?ode,
taking the position that the act of
1911 should be thoroughly tried out.
Recently he found that the legislature,
which had passed the borough code,
had also passed a number of bills
changing some of the provisions of
the code and adding new matter. The
Governor said that he did not intend
to approve them unless of great value
to the State.
In addition to designating a chair
man for the Public Service Commis
sion the Governor is this week ex
pected to name the Agricultural Com
mission and to consult with various
department chiefs regarding legisla
tion affecting the State government
which is in his hands.
Attorney General Brown will soon
name the counsel for the Public Ser
vice Commission and before long will
designate the additional deputies pro
vided for the handling of the legal
business of the State which will come
under him by virtue of the recently en
acted bill. Mr. Brown will name men
specially fitted to handle the business
of the various branches.
It is considered unlikely that any
appointments will be made'for admin
istration of the workmen's compensa
tion law until late in the year as the
act does not take effect until January
1. The series of bills establishing com
pensation is being carefully gone over
prior to approval by the Governor.

Twenty-four Starters
Indianapolis. Ind.. May 31. The
fifth annual 500-mlle race on the In
dianapolis Speedway started at 10
o'clock this morning. Twenty-four of
the fastest racing automobiles in the
world lined up for the start.
The fact that the brick surface of
the track has been thoroughly chilled
by the rains means that the racers will
be able to make faster time than other
wise would be possible, it was said.
Tires will last longer on such a course,
it was stated, than on one heated by
several days of bright sunshine. This,
race enthusiasts point out, indicates
that the record for the contest, 6 hours
3 minutes and 45 seconds, made last
year by Rene Thomas, will be broken.
Among the drivers who will compete
are men who have gained the highest
hoonrs in automobile racing. Ralph
de Palma and Bob Burman are two of
the best known of the pilots who will
try for a share of the $50,000 prize
money. Fifteen American and nine
foreign cars will face the starter.

To Work Coal Vein on
Mountain Near Dauphin?
As tlie result of an examination by an
expert mining engineer, an eight-foot
vein of hard Lykens Valley coal on the
mountains back of Dauphin, will prob
ably be worked by a company or up-
State capitalists.
A thorough examination was made
Friday and according to unofficial word
received by Dauphin men Interested in
the mine the vein will be developed. It
was worked about seven years ago on
a small scale, and so far as can be
ascertained contains both Nos. 1 and 2
grades of hard coal.
The members of the party who made
the preliminary investigation are: Mil
ton W. Dowry, of Scranton; J. H.
Simpson. Pittsburgh: J. B. Bailey and J.
D. Bailey, of Williamsport, and W. H.
Llewellyn. Shamokin.
Scores of borings have been made on
both Peters and Broad mountains, back
of Dauphin, within the last fifty years.
Coal was struck at various depths and
In different quantities In practically
every instance, but the veins were not
worked hard because of the lack of suf
ficient capital. The new company, it
is said, has unlimited backing and In
tends to erect breakers and proceed
in a thoroughly businesslike way.
About twenty years ago Lewis Maus.
of Dauphin, struck coal on the top of
Kittatinny mountain. He operated the
vein on a small scale several years, then
abandoned It.
