MED by Coach Firth, arrived last night

Hotel. They are a sturdy looking set Of
athletes and are reported 10 be in first
class condition. The past week has been
devoted to the hardest kind Of practice,
ranging from two to four hours day
and the development has necessitated
several changes i'm the lineup of thu
team. Captain johnson will probably go
behind the line, changing places with
Cochran: Painter may take Whtehurst $
Mace as ful-back during part Of the

changes will be made.
The lineup will be as follows: Johnson
left end and right half back; Herbe1t
left tackle; Cox, left guard; Stull, cen
tire: Pelter. right guard; Wood, right
tackle: Lewis. right end Bell, quarter

RAIN Ar CAMBRIDGE.
The Field Rapidly Drying - Practice
Somewhat Limited.

CAMBRIDGE. MASS, Nov. 12.-There
was general dismay In Cambridge this
morning at the forbidding aspect OF the
weather. An all-night rain and the
heavy. driving sleet Of the forenoon turn
ed Soldiers Field into a lake. The loot
ball eleven went through the signals IN
doors. and received closing words OF ad-
Vice from the coaches. Soon after noon,
however. the rain ceased. Contrary TO
expectations. the Harvard iirst eleven ana
the substitutes were called out Tor prac-
tice at half-past 3 o'clOch After
the mornings downpour ended a gang Of
men were put on Soldiers Field with
buckets and shovels. and by the time the
players trOtted on 10 the field nearly every
puddle had been scooped up. The sod was
still soft and mushy. but IL is drying fast
under the high northwest wind.
The practice OF the regular field was
limited TO catching and returning the bail
on the kickoff The ball usually went TO
Haughtol. who caught IL invariably and
sent It bfck Tor sixty or seventy yards.
When another player caught the ball he
passed II to HaughtOn, who punted. Ills
punting was slow, but very strong.
After ten minutes Of this worl the men
went out on one OF the practice helds,
where the grounds was harder, and went
through signals for ten minutes. The
practice was open. but there was only
handful Of spectators. The men were
spared perceptibly on account OF the STOP
by condition of the field. and there was
no effort 10 practice sharply.
The lineup was as follows, and VIII
probably be the same tomorrow:
Cabot left end Swain. left tackle;
Bouve, left guard; Boucette centre; Has
kell, right guard; Donald. right tackle;
Moulton. right end; Garrison, quarter
back: Dbblee. left half back; Warren,
right half back: Haughton, full back.
Arrangements have been perfected for
handling the enormous crowd expected at
to-mOrrOw's contest. The betting is 100
10 80 against Yale.

THE FAILURE OF AUTONOMY

There can be no doubt that Cuban auton
omy Is failure, not in theory perhaps, but
In practice, or, more correctly speaking in
lack of practice. II was known from the
first that Gen Gomez and his followers
would reject any terms that might be of.
ferei them short Of actual Independence.
The event has followed close upon the
prophecy Gomez first warned the Span
ish that peace ENJOYS carrying proposals
for settlement on the basis of autonomy
would be executed II captured, and then
proceeded to show that the threat was no
idle one. Whatever we may think of the
execution of Ruiz, 1t is plain that it will
have a deterrent effect on other Spanish
embassies charged with presenting auton.
omy propositions in the insurgent camps.
Now Gen. Pando, in charge Of the spanish
operations 10 the East, declares that there
can be no settlement on peaceful lines. Like
Gen Weyler, on the other side of the At.
lantic, he has become convinced that Gomez
and his lieutenants mean what they have
said from the beginning. Even the most
ODLluiStlC VI VIC pcoSS ptopOSols az
Madrid must be convinced that Cuba is
either to go free or be conquered by main
strength Unless, indeed, one other and
more insidious method can be be employ.
ed-that of treachery and intrigue Auton
omy having failed, bribery having failed. it
is possible to sssassinate the insurgent
leaders. That is the question that natur-
ally arises in the minds Of the baser Spanish
leaders. There is strong current that
Gomez is to be murdered il present plans
succeed. Maceo may have died in fair and
open warfare, but most Of us suspect that
he was ambushed, and only few days
since DR.. Zertucha. his physician, who has
been charged with treachery TO his chief,
W, advanced to lucrative position in the
Spanish service.
The Cuban cause seems to have lacked
eaders from the very start. That is why
he death of Maceo came as such heavy
,low. His dashing spirit was worth
olumn of sturdy but leaderless sharp
hooters. After his death il was freely |
rophesied that the revolt would collapse
