Ramors Thick on the Campus-An-
 other Excitement.
 The college is filled with rumors having little or no foundation about the Princeton and Harvard football teams. One is that Harvard is depending on her backs to do most of her work, using her heavy rush line merely to block their opponents. Another is that Princeton has the best rush line ever seen on 8 football field and that it will be impossible for Yale and Harvard to open up their line as they did last year. Whatever may be the truth about these matters it is certain that Yale has hard work laid out for her if she means to keep the championship. The games on Saturday showed that since the adoption of the new rules the day of large scores so frequent in past years is over. Yale' Harvard and Princeton are all making small scores against the smaller colleges. How the rules will affect the contests between the three leading teams it is impossible to guess At present it looks ss if Princeton had the best chance of winning, while Yale's chances are slightly better than Harvard's. The Princeton men were terribly disappointed by their defeat at Harvard's hands last year and will strain every nerve to reverse the score this year, even if they are defeated by Yale.
 The Record of a week ago published a re- buke to the freshmen which was well de- served and such as are ordinarily published every year, only little more severe. The sophomores posted up this extract from the Record on the trees much to the disgust of the freshmen, who replied by no tice intended for "serve" on the soph- omores and the Record at the same time. When to ease their swelling hearts they entered into solemn covenant not to subscribe to the ''horrid mean" paper which had handled them SO roughly. About eighty men took this childish method of revenge When the sophomores saw the placard on the trees and heard of the oath-bound eighty they thought it about time to revive the an- cient and time honored custom of hazing at Yale; so they secured about dozen fresh- men and took them out to the ''feld" last night where they held some impromptu and compulsory athletic games, in which there were twelve entries entries for every event. The records made probably didn't equal those of Saturday last but the amusement furnished d was amply sufficient to make up for that. Af- ter thing the freshmen all out the sopho- more's left them to come home alone.
 The Sumner Guards have received an invi- tation to participate in parade in Hartford next week. It is probable that the invitation will be accepted

Twenty Inches on the Level i'm the
 Woods Near Elias-Heavy Fall at
 Other Points.
 MINNEAPoIIs. Oct. 22.-There was a heavy snow storm in northern Minnesota yester- day, and it now lies deeper in that section than at any time before at this season for six years. At Tower the snow is thirteen inches deep and the woods back of Elias is twenty inches on the level There was no wind and consequently no drifting.
 Some snow fell in central Minnesota and northern Dakota Saturday, but it melted al most as soon as it fell.
 It showed all day at Fargo, but last night reports from there say there is little on the ground. There was no snow here. In north. ern Iowa there were slight Aurries of snow. The weather is mild.
 OMAHA, Oct. 22.-At g o'clock yesterday rain storm set in which continued until Il. At that hour the rain drops turned to snow flakes and the fall continued until dark last night. At no time was the ground covered with snow, as the particles melted as soon as they struck the earth. Mesgre adviees from the points along the Missouri river show that the storm was general throughout the valley. At Nebraska City the fall was heavy.
