ST. LOUIS, July 23.-Confident
of establishing a new world's rec-
ord for sustained flight tomorrow
Dale "Red" Jackson and Forest
O'Brien were flying smoothly high'
over Lambert, St. Louis Field, to-
night in their trim monoplane "St..
Louis Robin," at 7:17 p. m. Central
Standard Time the flyers had been
up 228 hours and were less than 20
hours short of their goal.
If they are still in the air at 3:01
p. m. tomorrow, they will have ex-
ceeded by one hour the present
record of 246 hours, 43 minutes and
32 seconds, set July 12 at Culver
City, Calif., by Loren Mendell and
Roland Reinhart.
Just before dusk tonight the
flyers took on a new supply of fuel,
checked their motor, and reported
all was well. The endurance flight
will begin tomorrow afternoon the
flyers said in a note dropped this
afternoon, indicating that they in-
tended to pit human strength
against mechanical endurance in,
their attempt to set a new mark.
Jackson wrote in one note several
days ago that they hoped to remain
aloft three weeks.
The St. Louis Robin was without;
the companionship of its sister
plane, the' Missouri Robin tonight.
The latter plane was forced down
at 7:51 a. m. today by a leaky oilr
line after 117 hours and 20 minutesl
in the air. It took off at 10:31 a.
m. last Wednesday.

DR. FORRE PREACHES
BEFORE [CONVOCATION
"Faith is the secret of victory,"
declared Dr. Samuel Forrer of the
Jefferson Presbyterian church ofl
Detroit, in his sermon delivered;
before the Student Christian Asso-
ciation convocation in the Lydia
Mendelssohn theater of the Wom-
en's League Building last night,
Drawing upon historic figures
as examples Dr. Forrer discussed
the lives of Jesus, Mohammed and
Gallileo as outstanding illustrations
of men whose contributions to
humanity were due to infinite
faith. He emphasized the vital im-,
portance of having faith in a re-I
stricted idea rather than having a
broad sweeping belief in every-
thing.
"The man who glimpses one of
the fundamental truths in the
Bible is better off than one who
tries to believe the whole Bible,"
he stated.
John White of the School of
Music sang a solo accompanied by
Miss Nell B. Stockwell of the School
of Music faculty. The theater stage1
draped with a gray curtain as a !
background formed an impressive
setting for the service.
According to John Webster, '30,
president of the Student Christian
Association who acted as presiding
officer at the convocation, there

sities but were allowed to enter the

,ISDA,,INflTO CLOSE
Intramural sports are beginning
to come to climax and the final
events bring out much added
interest. One 'champion has al-
ready been decided; the Pygmies
winning the softball league and as
a result gold medals have been dis-
tributed to the team members.
The tennis which has drawn the
most interest from members of the
summer school has been moving
along rather slowiy. Quarter final
play is now going on in the singles
while in the doubles only three
teams remain. The combination
of Christianson and Hasseltine has
reached the finals and will meet
the winner of the Shafron-Rosen-
thai-Johnson-Swanson match for
the doubles crown.
This afternoon the final sched-
uled games of the School of Edu-
cation will take place in baseball.
The Principles play the Superin-
tendents and the Faculty the Teach-
ers. The last three named teams
are tied for the lead with three
wins and a pair of losses in five
starts.
