HARVARD KICKERS
TO RETAIN THE H.
All They Have o Do Is to Put
Up a Good Game With
Pennsylvania.
1t Is Explained the Team Was Not
Deprived of an Honor for
Poor Playing.
Special Dispatch TO The CALL

BOSTOE, Nov. III is Stated upon
good authority tonight that the Harvard
foot ball leam VIII be allowed TO put their
H upon their sweaters again, win or lose
the Pennsylvania game, provided the
men play game of which they have shown
themselves capable in contests previously
TO that with Yale.
Here is the explanation of the removal
of the H's from the sweaters of the Har-
ward eleven. The following is signed by
Norman W. Cabot, the Harvard football
CAPTAIN:
To the Students Of HnrUdrd I wish to correct
the statement which has appeared n many OF
:he papers to the effect tn / the H's have been
taken away from the football team on account
OF the poor showing made against Yale. As q
matter OF fact, the ca tain or coachers have
no right to take he HIS aw ay from the mel,
the y hole matter being entirely voluntary,
the men agreeing to give up herr HIS unless
they can redeem them on Saturday.
The last practice Of The year took place
on Soldiers Field this afternoon. The
men will merely go through the signals,
and on Friday afternoon the team will
leave Tor PhIladel phia. The whole Var
sity squad will be taken down to the Penn
sylvanIa game. The Harvard eleven when
it meets Pennsylvania will be crippled to
a greater or less extent. 1t is very pro ba-
bic that Captain Cabot himself will not
play. Warren, the rush line halfback, is
hopelessly out of the game, and will.not
be able to line up against Pennsylvania.
The loss OF the captain and the best end
Harvard has will mean great deal to the
Harvard team. The students eel that
| they have a lighting chance. The game
itself has not aroused great deal of inter-
est at Harvard.
To-day's practice was rather discourag-
ing. The men did not get together quickly
enough and the play Jagged at times.
Cabot, Warren and Swaine wree not in the
game at all. Swaine will probably play
on Saturday, however. The new scheme
with Mills at fullback and HauG hton in
the line st tackle was tried for the first
time. and now has become a fixture in
the Harvard list OF information.

'Instead OF being the poor nurse have

So spoke Miss Isa bella Rosetta Farley, the

corres pondent as she said good by to hln
before she sailed for England today. The
history OF Miss Farley's life is not, per-

tale of love, unless it be that broader love
for humanity that characterizes those
only whose souls soar above the average
plane of worldly in terests.
She was born in Liverpool, Eng, thirty

forty-three days after that loss her father
who wanted 10 re-marry, told her, while

was but little surprised, for her father
had always been 4 stern man 10 the fam

death evinced but little interest in her.

REPULSED THE 7RiBESMEN.
But in the hand-to-Hand Fighting the
British Forces Lost 7wenty-Seven
Officers and Men.

SIMLA, INDIA, Nov. 1.-THE official
dispatches received to-day from the
British headquarters in the MADAM Valley
say that on General Kempster returning
to camp with his baggage on Monday
last, the Sikhs of the British force were
split up into companies and held the pass
Of the Kotal. The enemy appeared in
force and rushing forward with great
perseverance, some hand-to-hand fighting
followed. The Sikhs, the dispatches
added, were as seady as rocks and drove
back the enemy with heavy loss.
Further details from the MADAM Valley
show that the loss of General KEN pster's
brigade IS quito serious. The fo1ce con.
sisted OF the Dorsetshire regiment and
regiments of Sikhs and Ghurkas. The in
sursent trbesmen made their attack
upon the rear guard, but were brilliantly
repulsed by the Sikhs. The Dorsetsh Tres
lost their way in the darkness and were
cut off by the enemy. Lieutenant Haley
and Lieutenant Crook and nine men were
killed. The rest OF the Dorsetshires at
tached themselves 10 the Sikhs and ar
rived in camp in safety.
The other officers killed were: Lieuten-
ant Wylie of the Ghurkas and Lieutenant
Warne of the Sikhs. Fourteen Sikhs
and Ghurkas were killed: Colonel A blot
Captain CGstanio and Lieutenant Mum
were wounded and twenty-eight Sikhs
and Ghurkas wounded. This shows that
fiftv-eight men were placed hors du COM
bat In this affair, OF whom twenty-seveE
officers ard men were killed and thirty
one wounded.
Two companies of Sikhs. holding the
spur of the hill, were so fiercely assaulted
that they had 10 call for re.entorcements.
Colonel Haughton, with the balance OF
the Sikhs regiment, rushed to their sup
port.
The whole force Withdrew gradually,
lighting every step to the valley. Dusk
had now set i'll and the enemy was crowd
ing the British on all sides. Colonel
Haughton determined to camp for the
night and sent five companies to storm a
couple of blockhouses. The Sikhs drove
out the enemy at the point of the bayonet.
SIX were killed and many wounded dur
ing this charge. The wounded were then
brought in under the enemy's unceaslng
fire, and the force finally reached head
quarters the next morning without fur
ther casualties.

Something New in the Science of
Grating on Trial at
CHICAGO.

PARIS, Ill, Nov. 17.-An interesting
and what is believed to be an entirely
new experiment in skin-grafting was tried
by D.. w. NJ. Wilson OF this city 'o-day.
The patient. John Acklin, aged %. was
run down by a cable car a Chicago
several weeks ago. Among other in
juries sustained, the skin was nearly all
torn from the back of the right hand.
Nature failed TO supply the missing cut;-
Gle, and being unable to secure human
skin for the operation OF grating, the
surgeon took several pieces from the back
of live opossum, which were applied to
the wound and tightly bandaEed. The
process will be repeated daily until the
wound is covered. The experimental
graft bids fair to be successful.

all public lands which are more valu-

that regular troops be detailed to pro-
