He Thought Perhaps Two

Later, During Height of
the Storrti.
Lukehurst, N. J.. Sept. 25. —(d s )
Re-examined today before the naval
epdrt of inquiry Col. C. G. Hall, tJ.
A army observer aboard the Shenan
doah on her fatal flight, said his
statement of yesterday that the fail
ure ofrtwo engines of the ship fur
nished a possible contributing cause
to the disaster wa*. more in the nature
of an assumption-.than a abatement of
fact.
"Do you know at what time the
engines failed?” asked Lieut. Com--
mander Rosendahl. senior surviving
officer of the airship. - 2
i “I do not know,” was the reply.
“W«» it after the uncontrolled rise!
began showing that we were in the
vortex of thejrtorm?”, pursued Com
mander Rosendahl.
“I cannot say.” the army officer
returned. “I thought all engines were
going 'full speed until the ship was
wrecked.” .
“What is as to the
reliability of the Shenandoah's en
gines?” v /
“I believe, there have bean no mbee
reliable Aviation engines developed
than those of the Shenandoah.”
lir his testimony yesterday Col. Hall
expressed the opinion that the failure
of two of the airship's five engines
made more probable the drawing of
the big craft into the vortex of tbe
storm which wrecked her after a-spec
tacular fight of 15 minutes. One en
gine went out because of n cracked
cylinder, and the other because of a
radiator leakage.

ONLY FOUR CO-EDS
However, Enrollment As Whole Is
> Larger-Thun H HU* ■
Davidson, X. C., Sept. 25.—CP)—
Davidson College, although it has a
record enrollment this autumn, has
only four co-eds :
That fact lids been brought out in
enrollment figures that have been an
nounced by college officials.
, The enrollment of 628 students
breaks the record of the 1924125 ses
sion by 10. Os this number four co
eds and ten are men who have been
out of school for a year or more. And
there are still s*ven more men who
have made satisfactory arrangenftnts
with the treasurer, hut who have not
■yet registered properly: so the number
may be increased to 636.
The enrollment figures do not accu
rately indicate'the total of applica
tions for admission. Approximately
225 men who applied for admission
to the freshmen class were turned
«Way for lack of class room. All up
per classmen who wished to return,
however, have been duly admitted, de
spite the crowded conditions.
> There was a decrease in the number
of men admitted to the freshman class,
this year's figures being 235 ns com
pared with 252 last year. It was
not possible to admit as many fresh
rnen this year, it is stated, because a
much larger percentage of sophomores
reeturned than is usually true. Only
225 of the 235 freshmen wear the
cap with the green “F" because three
pt the freshmen are co-eds, and seven
are members Os . the class of ’2B.
Thirty-four of the 223 sophomore*
are members of the junior class who
failed in part to complete the full
amount of work required last year,
Sthen they were sophomores.
The junior class has taken a big
slump. Out of 160 members the class
of ’27 boasted last year, only 76 have
murned, and the class is the smallest
op the hill. There are 93 members of
tsie year’s senior class.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON
Game Between Wake Forest and Car
olina Outstanding Event.
Raleigh. N. C.. Sept. .25.—C/B
With the traditional annual battle
between Wake Forest and Carolina
as the outstanding contest the foot
ball season of North Carolina col
lege* for 1025 will get under way in
earnest tomorrow' afternoon. Though
Davidson engaged Elon last Satur
day and State College will meet
Richmond University this afternoon,
the majority of the teams do not get
into aefion uutjj tomorrow- Wake
Forest, champions of 1024, will seek
during the season to retain the
honor while the other mnjor elevens
in the outstanding sport of college/;
will try to wrest the crown from the
Demon Deacons.
The annual renewal of the Wake
Fotest-Carolina game at Chapel Hill
will find both teams on edge for the
contest, both determined that the
contest shall not be lost until the
final whistle. Last season Wake
Forest won the game for the fourth
time in a half century and the only
time since 1007 when football wa* re
installed as n sport at Wake Forest.
In winning that game by the nar
row margin of 7 to 6. the Demon
Deacons won .the state champinoship
honors for the first time in their,
history. .>. '
This afternoon State College opens
its season with a game against
Richmond University of Richmond,
Va., the game being played on local
territory. The Wolf Pack is said to
be in 'fair shape for the opener add
will no doubt be able to battle their
way to a victory over the Virgisia
lads.
At. Willinnwburg. Va., Lenoir will
tackle William and Mary and the
eleven of the latter college should
experience no trouble in downing the
North Carolina team. While I-enoir
always fights hard, the team is not
strong,, though strides in that direc
tion are being made.
. Davidson College will battle Wof
ford at Davidson ana the contest
should prove to be close and interest
ing. The South Carolinn team,
though defeated last year, gave
Davidson a scare last season. The
Wildcat eleven; probably will go Into
the game with a weakened team as
a result of injuries to Quarterback
Sappenfield last week in tbe game
'fifth "»*>!.doughty » qsartw
sustained a broken leg and the team
will have to be re-organized to a
certain extent ns the eleven usually
is built around the quarterback.
At Durham, Duke University will
probably run away from Guilford,
the latter team as a general rule
being no match for the Blue Devils.
The extent to which Guilford will be.
defeated probably will depend on the
’ength of the Duke first team is al
lowed to remain in the game.
Elon tackles plucky little King
College of Tennessee and the North
Carolina aggregation is slated to
have a run for its money If the King
College eleven is playing like it has
for the past two seasons when its
high scores over ornaments furnished
the sensation of Tennessee football
though the teams played were not
usually outstanding elevens. The
game will be played at Elon,
