According to Irwin Bunin, '28, the game had just started and Fink was walking out onto the field to begin playing when he fell forward on his face. At first it was thought that he was unconscious, and he was given first aid by Frederick Williamson, '28M, a senior -medical student, who was refereeing the game. A physician arriving a few moments later pro- nounced him dead but he was rushed to the University hospital, where the opinion was expressed that he had died instantly.

To expect anyone to go into the position of I conservation commissioner and in 91 months to familiarize himself with all departments as I had to was a very difficult task, especially when five of those months were during the session of the legislature."

S N I GIRL AVIATOR STARTS, OFF WITH H9,LDEMAN FOR LEBOURGET FIELD FOG WILL PROBABLY BE MET IN MID-OCEAN, ACCORDING TO FORECASTERS SAFETY FACTORS CARRIED Miss Elder Makes Attempt To Be The First Woman to Accomplish Air Voyage Across Atlantic (By Associated Press) ROOSEVELT FIELD, New York, Oct. 12-An American woman today placed her life in the balance in an attempt to be the first of her sex to cross the Atlantic ocean in an airplane. Ruth Elder, 23 year old Lakeland, Florida, aviatrix, was the woman. Dressed as if for a game of golf, she hopped off today with her pilot and townsman, George Haldeman,- in the 'Stinson-Detroiter "American Girl." Her hop-off was made at 5:04 p. m. Their destination isIeBourget field, Paris, where Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh concluded his famous trans- oceanic flight. The "American Girl" took the air gracefully after speeding down the runway for about 2,000 feet. Miss Elder, also known as Mrs. Lyle' Womac, waved good-bye to the few spectators from a cockpit win- dow. Shecarried with her a tiny bible, given by her mother, a Chinese ring and a toy cat, all of which she considered of equal value in bringing good luck. Supply Is Plentiful For rations on their 3,600 mile air journey, Miss Elder and' Haldeman carried each three turkey and three Swiss-cheese sandwiches, a flask of boullion and three flasks of coffee. Caffeine tablets were carried in case of drowsiness. The plane carried 520 gallons of gasoline, 20 gallons of oil, and a radio sending outfit capable of flash- ing, messages about 75 miles. Their course was to be 1,244 miles due east, thence in a northeasterly direc- tion, following the ship lanes tovhe English channel. The fuel supply was -considered suficient to carry them 4,400 miles. The radio call is I WTAG. The plane is expected to do 100 miles an hour. . Ahead of the"flyers was some un- favorable weather. While most of the journey, according to weather for- "casters, will be good, there is a stretch of fog, an area about 700 miles in mid-ocean. Some stormy.weather also was to be met, Haldeman said.
