(By Associated Press)
PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 5-A
famed triumvirate of the air-two
noted air speedsters and a fleet lit-
tle champion of the upper reaches
-has written its last entry on the
pages of aviation history in a bold
record challenge which ended ab-
ruptly against a sheer Arizona
mountain -cliff.
Death penned the final reports
of the courageous attempt of Capt.
C. B. D. Collyer to flash to a new
west-to-east trans-continenta non-
stopc record in the trin V- Yankee
Doodle, with Harry Tucker, the
plane's owner, riding as a passenger.
The broken bodies ofdthe two
mren, Collyer a co-holder of the
around-the-world travel record and
Tucker a record holder with his
proud little air whippet of both
cast-west and west-east trans-con-
tinental records, were brought into
Prescott on pack burros today.
Letters in their pockets were need-
ed to establish the men's identities.
In the face of unfavorable weath-
er reports the craft took off from
Mine Field, Los Angeles, at 3:29
p. w. Saturday. The owner an-
nounced it was to be an attempt to
lower the Yankee Doodle's record of
16 hours and 58 minutes for the
eastward passage.
The plane evidently cracked up
between 7:30 and 8 p. m. Saturday,
though its fate and that of the
passenger and pilot who dared and
lost was not learned until Sunday
afternoon when searchers pushed
into the rugged mountains, and
found remnants of the ship strewn
for a quarter mile down the can-
yon.
For almost, an hour Saturday
night, as the last flight of the Yan-
kee Doodle has been pieced to-
gether by the stories of observ-
ers, the famous plane and pilot
battled despite a failng motor to
clear the 8,000 foot peaks of the
Bradshaw mountains. At 7:30, its
knocking, sputtering motor had
been heard eightrmiles southhof
Prescott.
Somettime later the plane cir-
cled four times a narrow valley in
which the lights of a half dozen
miners' cabins twinkledhthrough
the rain and midst. The steady
drizzle of rain defeated Collyer's
attempt to find a landing place.
As the last circle was made, the
plane was only a few hundred feet
off the -ground. Then Collyer ap-
parently determined to make a last
desperate attempt to force his
plane over the mountain.
The ship carried 490 gallons of
gasoline at the take-off, which ex-
ploded as it smashed into the cliff
with bullet-like speed.

Ticket Sale Is Heavy
For Iowa Game Here
More than 45,000 tickets have.
been sold for the Michigan-Iowa
game and more than 25,000 tickets
have been sold for the Michigan-
State contest, according to an an-
nouncement issued by the Athletic
association late yesterday after-
noon.
The: 45,000 seats already sold for
the Iowa game indicates that this
game will probably draw another
capacity crowd as this number of
seats for the last game of the sea-
son are seldom sold so early, ac-
cording to a statement by Harry A.
Tillotson, business manager of the
association.

Her father, a prominent business
man of Iron .River, donated the
$1,000 to the sociology department
for a prize to be competed for an-
nually, because of his daughter's
great interest in that subject.
The winner last year was Carl
F. Kraatz, '28, of Highland Park,
who wrote a paper dealing with
the recreation conditions along the
Detroit river. The papers are
judged by members of the sociology
department and may be handed
to any of the staff.
