They subsequently built a number of biplanes in 1906 and went to France, where on Dec. 31, 1908, Wilbur Wright won the Michelin prize by flying 95 miles in two hours and 18 minutes.

While the Wright brothers were conducting their early experiments at Kitty Hawk, Fred Wiseman of 1817 Oxford St., then in his early twenties, was fixing bicycles in Santa Rosa, and bike racing with [[?]]

Frank Parker Scores Davis Cup Exclusion
MELBOURNE, Dec 24 (U.P.)-- The veterean Frankie Parker protested today that his exclusion from the American David Cup team was due to a whim of Squad Captain Walter Pate and had nothing to do with his own tennis countered with the statement no "personalities" were involved in the selections.

With the opening matches between the Americans and the Australians scheduled for Thursday, Parker apparently was out cold as far as participating in the David Cup play.  Pate was said to be standing firm on leaving Parker out of all competition.

"There were no personalities involved in our Davis Cup selections," Pate said.  "Somebody had to be omitted and it was Parker."

SQUAD DECISION
The decision to drop Parker was made at a round table conference of the six Americans on the squad. At that time it was believed the six agreed that Parker could not rise to the playing heighs like Ted Schroeder, who is expected to join with Jack Kramer in handling both singles and double chores.

When this quintet first started playing as a united, it lacked teamwork and polish, but His Nibs stuck by it and worked with it until is finally paid off.

HANGER TOP SCORER
Hanger, the former forward converted to center, still tops the Bear scorers with 97 points in 11 games and has a .351 shooting average.  The forwards, Rocker and Wolfe, have scored 82 and 97 points, respectively, and both have .269 averages.  The guards, Captain Hogeboom and Durkee, have each tallied 56 points.  Next in line is substitute center Jim Smith with 45.

The Bears, after a short workout this morning, took off to spend Christmas at home, but will return for two practice sessions on Thursday in preparation for their two games against Ohio State this weekend.

The Buckeyes, defending Big Nine champs, whipped California in the N.C.A.A. playoffs in New York last Spring and boast of three starters back from their championship club,  including 6-foor 6-inch center Jack Undermann,  who tallied 19 points against the Bears.  The other two are guards Warren AMling and Capt. Paul Huston.
