PRINCEToNs IN POOR FORM.

Princeton, N. j.. Oct. I3.-The sudden
reversal In form of last years champions
is inexplicable. unless the new feature
OF Princeton's play. an open game. is
taken into account. Three days ago
they were stronger than any Of the
big four; today Harvard and possibly
Pennsylvania might defeat them. How
ever, II Is evident that Coaches Moffatt,
Poe. Ward and George have an object
in view in putting the tigers" through
the new form of practice. and in all
probability the strongest eleven in the
country in open play will be evolved
from the line bucking aggregation.

At the advanced age of eighty-five years,
James McMillen, of 112 West Washington
street, is one of the most active men in Cham
paign, Illinois. Mr.. McNiillen is pioneer
citizen of the city, and his form is as familiar
Oh the streets as that of any citizen of the
town. All his life Mr.. McNIillen has fol-
lowed the trade of shoemaker, and every day
finds him at his bench, bending over his work
with apparently the same vigor he COM
manded when he was young man.
He has little shop OH North Wright street,
in the vicinity of the University of Illinois,
and he is the official shoemaker, as it were,
for the students of that institution.
About a year ago Mr.. McMillen was absent
from his bench for several weeks, and his
familiar form was missed along the streets.
The local newspapers announced that he
was dangerously ill., For months he was q
sufferer, but finally he appeared again ut
his shop, and has lost but very few days
since then and none, perhaps, on account of
sickness. His friends were surprised to see
him out again, and they were more surprised
when he told them the cause of his recovery.
There was no small amount Of local inter-
est in his case, and reporter visited him,
to have him relate the story.
