Every follower of football knows the dazzling Lewie Hardage to be one of the most brilliant perform ers who ever swept across the chalk marks.

They believed that the speed they had made was too great to permit them to last throughout the race, so they slowed up. As a result, they fell materially behind the old record. At 8 o’clock they hrid covered ouly 2,007 miles and 6 laps, as compared with 2,015 miles and 2 laps, made by Collins and Pye In 1911. At that time the teams which were tied were: Kra mer and Moran, Pye and Grenada, Perchicot and Egg. Root and He hlr, Rutt and Fogler, Clarke and Hill, Bedell and Millen, Cameron and Walthour, Walker and Wells, Brocco and Berthel, Drobach and Collins, Ryan and Thomas. By 9 o’clock, the 105th hour, the twelve leaders were 13 miles and 4 laps behind the record made by Miller and Waller in 1899. They had then covered 2,019 miles and 8 laps. The two trailing teams were two laps behind. Last night there were accidents galore. Once Oscar Egg, of the French team, crashed into Bobby Walthour's wheel on one of the turns shortly before 10 o’clock. Both were thrown. While Egg re gained bls feet and wheel, Wal thour was picked up unconscious. It was found later that Bobby was not seriously Injured, and he later reappeared on the track. Between 9 and 11 o’clock there were several sprints. In the most sensational one. at 10:35 o’clock, the Grenada-Pye combination seemed to have practically gained a lap, but the referee did not allow it on the ground that the riders had not quite overlapped the leaders when the sprint gnded by a punc ture of Fogler’s tire. At 10 a. m., the 106th hour, the twelve leading teams had covered 2,033 miles and 6 laps, 17 miles and 1 lap behind the record made by Miller and Waller in 1899. Twelve teams were tied. PENN STATE TOO ROUGH; CORNELL PASSES ’EM UP ITHACA, N. Y., Dec. 13.—Claiming that the tactics used by the Penn.

TEAM TACKLES CHARLOTTE Y. M. C. A. The Atlanta Athletic club basket ball quintet plays its second game of the season Saturday night. Their oppo nents will be the Charlotte (N. C.) Y. M. C. A. team. The Charlotte boys put It over the A. A. C. players last season and the local performers are out for revenge. The Tar Heel team is said to be of championship caliber, and they claim the championship of the Carolinas. The Atlanta team has improved much since its game with Bessemer last week. It Is believed that the players have gotten over their stag fright and but ter-tingering. This was the one rea son why they did not run up an un merciful score against their enemy then. One thing can be said about the lo cals and that Is they are certainly much better on handling the ball with one hand this year than last and they will win a good lot of games by this art, too. The team will be much stronger this week, as Dußard will be on the job at center. Dußard is In the game from start to finish, and the lad that keeps up with him or puts one over on him will have to go some. Both teams claim their men to be in the best of condition.
