A Severe Criticism of Harvard's Foot
 ball Team. f


 The record which the football team. has made thus far this fall is not a pleasant one for the college press to dwell ,Npon In the first place we look back upo1 our record, and what do we find? Not very much, it is true, but of such kind that we can at least be thankful that ol4r record is no larger Five games have been played, and of these two have been lost or, in other words, 40 per cent. of the games have been defeats. There time not many years ago when the college confidently awaited the result of inter collegiate football games. A defeat was surprise Within the last few years, how ever, Q defeat at the hands of Yale or Prince ton has not shocked the tender sen abilities of the college as it once did. In fact, victory over Yale became as infrequent as a college holiday. But we still clung to the hope that our team, although outplayed by Yale and Princeton, could at least beat the smaller colleges. Even in this hope, however, we have been disap pointed. The question naturally arises: ''Where is this to end? Shall we few years hence be playing games with preparatory schools?" Although this is, of course, an ex- aggerated view of our prospects, the hard, cold fact remains that our football prestige has almost disappeared. Something must be done, something must be done quickly, must be done earnestly. A com plete and thorough reorganization of the team should be made. The college, we have heard many persons say. is by no means sat isfed at the personnel of the eleven. This remark applies especially to the rush line. Here is the greatest fault of the team. Let new men be tried in some of the places. If these do not tend to improve the team, then it will be the fault of the college for not fur nishing better material.-Harvard Daily Crimson.

Police Notes,

William Caugney and two other men well known to the police had a melodia or orguin- cite in their possession at the corner of La fayette street and Congress avenue last evening on which they were producing dis cordant sounds. When Officer Hackett ap- preached they dropped the music box and ran, which led the officer to believe that the same was stolen. Caugney was arrested and the others will also be apprehended. The melodia was taken to the police station, but it is sadly out of tune from the rough usage it has received.

michael R. Ryan, of AnsOnia, Found Dead By the ROadsfde-A Political Discussion Which Ends I'm Death.

Michael R. Ryan. of AnsOnfa, Found
 Dead By the ROadside-A Political
 Discussion Which Ends I'm Death.
 Michael R. Ryan, aged seventy years, was found dead by the Derby avenue, near the residence of James Queenan, yesterday morning He had been to Birmingham to attend political parade, and returned home
 with Pierce Lodge, John Ballentine and J. E.
 Smith. They had been imbibing freely and
 were in general mood Their talk turned
 on political subjects naturally. Ryan got
 much excited He sprang forward in front
 of Banentine and struck at him, but missed
 him, and instead struck Smith in the chest.
 Ballentine had his hands in his pockets when
 the assault was made. Smith threw up his left hand and gave Ryan push, at the same time saying, ''Hold on, I won't have any of this" At the same time Lodge made an at tempt to strike Smith, which was calmly passed by, and BaIlentine and Smith walked along home together, thinking Lodge and
 Ryan would soon follow them. They were
 unaware that Ryan had met with accident
 until in front of Smiths house, when they were called back by Lodge, who expressed the belief that Ryan had been hurt.
 Sheriff Gates, Medical Examiner Jewett and Dr. Pinney and Chief of Police Martin ! were notified that murder had been com
 mitted and in company visited the scene ! The night was very dark and when they reached Smiths house large crowd had col lected. The body of Ryan lay where it had fallen and after satisfying themselves that ] life was extinct orders were given for it's re-
 moval to Ryans house on Kilkenny avenue At o'clock in the morning Dr. T. B. Jew | cit held a medical examination, which con- vinced him that Ryan while probably drunk l fell over the fence and broke his neck. There was a cut on his right temple. BaLentine
 testified that the push given by Smith would not have sent Ryan over the fence had he been sober. The cause of death was there fore decided upon as accidental.
 Ryan was sober, industrious citizen and | was much thought of for his honesty. He
 leaves a respectable family of children, his ! wife having died some years ago. One of his daughters is the widow of Chief of Police l Hayes, who was killed by Chip Smith. Musicale i'm Westv1lIe.
