It Is all up to Coach Helsmnn, the WIs- nrd of the Pig Skin. He has one of the hardest tasks of his career, thnt of ham mering a first class team out of raw ma terial. Tech has an ambitious schedule this year, end ft mean# much to local football thnt the squad make a good showing. With the second best team In the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association last year. It looked Inst winter ns though n good team was n certainty for this year, but now things are different. Local-football enthusiasts are counting on Coach Ilfdsman to get more out of his meu under the new rules than any of the otLer coaches, and are hoping for tin* best. In spite of the dls4-ouraglng reports whb-h nr«- emanating from the Tech camp. cam recently straight gnu *nst League, the Heat- defeated Lo* Angeles cs by the scores of 2 New York, Sept. 22.—Ernest Keeler, bent low over the steering wheel of a big 45-horse-power Olds machine, passed over the storting line of the Vdmierbllt cup course on the stroke of 6 o'clock this morning nnd the elimina tion races for American cars was be gun. A grent cheer went up from the grand ttond, where men and women of th(% ”400" were gathered, oh a plucky driver with his machinist, Harry Mul ler, hugging him close, whizzed down the beautiful stretch of oiled turn pike and was lost to view In the early twilight and mist. Before the men and women In the grand stand had time to turn from looking after Keeler a second chugging gave warning that.nnother of the groat machines was brenklng out from the line-up. In another Instant, the ma- hlne spitting fire, Herbert R. Little, driving a 120-horse-power Pope-Tole- do, shot past the grand stand and started In mad pursuit of Keeler. In rapid succession the other entrants Hashed by until all were thundering around the course ‘at terrifying speed, and the great race wns In full progress. Just before the beginning of the race the representatives of the Maxwell- Brlscoe Company, who had entered the 35-horse-power Maxwell car, nounced that "Wally" Owen had been withdrawn. This left only 12 cars In the race. Willi* on Hand. W. K. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Vander bilt left their summer home nt Lake Success at one end of the course long before daybreak nnd started In Mr. Vanderbilt’s big Mercedes touring car with the young millionaire at the wheel for the grand stand at Westbury. Mr. Vanderbilt made the run to West bury over the roads of the course In almost record time. Upon reaching the grand stand he left Mrs. .Vanderbilt there and then started off with his chauffeur and one of the members of the racing board ovqg the cup race course. Mongini a Hero. A real burst of applause greeted Mon gini when he reached the starting line seated in his 60-horse-power car. Mon gini sprained his wrist badly several days ago during tfje practice spin nnd the Injury became so bad last night and early today thnt C. A. Ringer, who entered the car, offered to withdraw his entry, but Mongtnt insisted on go ing Into the race. The determined fellow’s wrist was bandaged as he held the wheel, but It could be seen that he was still suffer ing from pain. Dr. Finn, of Garden City, looked Mongini over Just before the start In the contest and gave him one more In jection of morphine to mitigate his suffering. All during the night the pain In Monginl’s wrist was severe. Repeated Injections of morphine were necessary. Some Gay Incidents of The Elimination Trials NAT KAISER & CO.

All the grandstand cheered her nnd her fiance. Dlngley, Lyttle's mechanician, showed a ldt of grltn heroism on the third lap. As the I’ope-Tolodo ear was passing the garage the company had built nt Hulls Head, one of the attendants stood ready with a can of oil for Dlngley ns the tnnchlne passed Two of these cans of oil nre ready to pass to Dlngley eaeh time the car passes the Pope-Toledo garage In order thnt n hot box can he avoided through n liberal use of the lubricant. As tin* man passed the first can to Ding- ley he lifted It too high nnd dashed It Into the mechanician’s face. With a gasp, Ding- ley sank bnck Into his seat, apparently overcome. Rut with a prodigious effort he recovered himself, knowing that In an other second he would have to grasp the second ran of oil. He did so utid fainted, hut was afterward revived. When the .racers lind gone nearly four lap* around the course the clouds, which had been threatening, broke and u heavy rain fell, making tho already slippery road all tho more dangerous. Many of the people In the grandstand be ing without wraps fled, but W. K. Vander bilt, Jr.’s, party, in the box facing the starting line, remained. Mrs. Vanderbilt borrowed her husband's rubber coot. During the wait In the sixth lap, while the crowd was killing tlnlb for the cars to sweep past the grandstand, Wllllnm K. Vanderbilt nnd Harry Payne Whitney nniusod everyliody with their horse pity. Vanderbilt, who wns In his box, leaped to the rail preparatory to crossing to the officials’ stand on the other side of the track. Whitney seized him nnd the pair strug-1 gled until Vanderbilt wns sent stumbling to the floor, overturning two chairs, nnd there wns a good-natured wrestling match" befwccnethem when Vanderbilt got to his feet. Finally he broke away nnd went out i the track. In u few mliTutes Vanderbilt got his re- >nge, for Announcer Protity appeared with his megnphone and roared: "By special re quest, Mr. Harry Payne Whitney will now ■lug ‘Please Give Me a Drink, Bartender.* ” Kvervliody laughed nnd Mr. Whitney umped up on a chair, bowed right nnd course was at the northeast turn at East Norwich. This Is one of the dan gerous points of the course, and here somewhat back from the road, but on both sides, were grouped several auto mobiles filled with men and women.

"Hair Pin Curve,” one of the moat dnngerous turns on the course, waa the gathering place of hundreds of private cars. Shortly after midnight they be gan to arrive and there waa much maneuvering and Jockeying for advan tageous positions. At the most peril ous po)nt of the curve is stationed a telegraph vole, which, during the turn- Ing-up trials of the auto racers has brought more than one driver to grief. The curve run* through the center of an open space about a hundred yards square. As the automobiles chugged up to the spot, they formed two banka on either side of the course. Hundreds of automobiles were driven here be cause they could not secure accommo dations. All night long the Westbury hotel was besieged by applicants for rooms, but the hostelry had been sold out the night before. Farm houses In the vi cinity were appealed to, but these, too, were crowded from kitchen to garret. So the sight-seers had to content themselves with camping out all night in thetr machines, lap robes and cush ions serving to make them comforta ble until they were awakened by the signal Indicating the start of the race. In the Vanderbilt box !n the grand stan«! Mrs. Vanderbilt was Jotned by Breeze. Mrs. Vanderbilt was Young Mr. Vanderbilt had left off his automobile toggery and was dressed In a dark sack suit. He had his gog gles up over his forehead as ly started around the course In his tojring car with his soft hat pushed back on his head. E. R. Thomas, who wns also In a box In the grand stand, offered to bet $500 against An even $1,000 that one of the three Thomas cars which he has en tered will finish first In the elimina- tory trials. The betting odds- on the Thomas entries Just before the race was at even money. Weather it Bad. The weuther conditions, before the start were unfavorable and disagree able. The wind wks east with a strong feeling ot rain In the air. A mist hung over the course and many women who had camped out In their machines over night shivered beneath their wraps as they huddled In the corners to the ton neaus. Before daybreak the sights In the zone at various points along* the 29- mile course were weird and strange. Automobiles driven by members of the racing board and by hundreds of the visitors to the great races, ablaze with their brilliant lanterns, flashed by along the roads like so many demons of the night. All the "Whlzx-Whizz" machines were here, there and everywhere; those not speeding fj*om place to place along the course were bankd along the va rious turns where most of the exciting incidents of the race were expected to Ircsxed In black\wlth a black straw- hat, the only bit of relief being u white occur. 1ft Decatur &L , Kimball Hous* collar. one of the greatest crowds along the handicap for all ages run so far this sen sou Is down for decision at Gravesend Hep* temper 25.
