HEAVY MEN AMONG THE QUAKERs.
Pennsylvania ike Yale, Is to have an ex-
trenelv heavy eleven this year. The line is
somewhat heavier than 1t was last year, and
the back field considerably so. Teas and wal
lace, who were perhaps, next to Captain Hare,
the strongest men in Pennsylvania's line last
year have worked of their conditions ana are
longer on the probation Whlch threatened
them this year. Wallace is putting up an es-
pecially strong game. In The Tribunes selec-
ton for an all American eleven last season
Wallace had one Of the TACKLE positions, and, II
he keeps up his present gait he VII! retain II
this year. Horner, at centre rush, IS deVeloplls
into an acceptable man to take OverHeld's place
Captain Hare is playing his usual steady game,
but il looks as if he should have to do good
deal of the punting for the eleven, and that Will
impair his usefulness among the forwards
Graves is certainly brilliant discovery al quar-
terback, and is putting up an all around game
better than any quarterback that Pennsylvania
has had for several years His handling OF
punts is especially noticeable. If it could be ar
ranged so that he could relieve Hare entirely
from the work Of kicking, the Quaker team
would be already in excellent shape.
Much ado about nothing was caused last week
BY the pubIica tion of some rules Of the Columbia
Athletic Committee TO the eligibility Of Co
lumbia students for the football eleven. Con
ditions similar TO these have prevailed at Har-
ward and Yale for a number Of years, and It was
the most natural thing in the world for the Co
lurnbia faculty 10 pass similar rules at the end
Of last season, in which grave question had
been raised as TO the standing of some OF the
Columbia players. While the rule as to students
in poor standing may work unfortunately for
the Columbia eleven this season, the ultimate
end Will be right There is, if anything, too
much tendency already TO make too great
business of football Football is a first class
sport but its position in the world Of intellect
and life generally should not be unduly exag-
gerated. If a college boy cannot keep up with
his class Il certainly shows that he has no
time to devote to football, and there should be
no kicks from him this point. AS matter
of fact Captain Brown Of Yale and Captain
DAILY of Harvard are among the highest stand
ing men in their respective classes, which fact
must be certainly gratifying to the authorities

something has got to give way The excellence
or fale's material this year is shown bv the fact
that t1ncke, quarterback last years eleven
mas had to take second place this year and
wear, who did fair work last season at half
back, has replaced him, runs the team with bet
ter judgment. and. more particularly handles
punts in the accurate fashion which was wholly
lacking with the Yale back field last year The
coaches at Yale seem to think that they are be-
ginning 70 solve the end rush problem but If
Coy, Could and Thomas are the best men that
they can find, the problem is by no means
solved Yale showed vigorous work in the game
against Amherst IN the middle of the week and
her score OF 27 to O contrasted favorablv with
Harvards score on the same day of u TO o
against Williams.
1t is definitely settled that the Yale-Princeton
game Will be played at Princeton. There was q
good deal Of talk Of having the game played at
New-York this year. the openly declared pur-
pose being that the additional revenue that
might thereby be obtained could be used to good
advantage by the Princeton Football Associa-
students raised a kick against any such pro
and the suggestion Of New York as a neutral

ton and there is no question that sufficient ac-
commodations will be provided for the throng
that will journey to the New-Jersey town.
Princeton has an abundance Of good substitute
material this year, and her rush line is develop

CHAMPIONS AT CHECKERS.
BARKER, OF BOSTON. AND JORDAN. OF
SCOTLAND. TO PLAY A MATCH.

A match to decide the worlds championship at
checkers is to begin in Boston on Monday Oc-

Each has been calling himself the chaupIon OF
the world for some years Barker has been the
recognized champion of the United States. and
Jordan has defeated all rivals in Scotland and Eng

checker players everywhere.
For many years the checker chanpIonship Of the
world was held by James wyIIie the famous
Herd Laddie." who died in Glasgow Scotland

When he was nearly seventy he made a match for
the championship with James P. Reed Of Pitts
burg, agreeing 10 come TO this country 70 play A
dispute as TO some of the arrangements caused
Wyllie to abandon the match. and Reed thereupon
laid claim to the worlds championship. Later
Reed accepted challenge from Barker The
match was for a large stake and the champion-
ship. and Barker Since then Barker has
never been defeated in a match Reed died in
Pittsburg last year.
Wylie would not admit that he lost the cham
pionship TO Reed. After years of wrangling
about the title he played match with James Fer

then assumed the title Of champion Later Ferrie
was defeated in a match for the championship by

BROWNS GOOD PROSPECTS.
PLENTY OF MATERIAL AND LOTS OF SNAP
IN THE WORK.

Providence r L. Oct (SpeciaD.-The prospects
bright for a good football team at Brown
University this fall There is a general feeling
among the students aud the players that the team
will play steadier and better game than IL did
last year. Not only are the players putting up
sharp. suappy work in practice but there IS also
a more general and more enthusiastic support on
the part OF the students than for some years past
One OF the most favorable aspects OF football
affairs Brown this year is the abundance Of good
material Nine football players who wore the Brown
'B" last fall back again, and besides these old
players there are at least nine or ten new men
among the candidates who are fast assuming
varsity form With SO many good substitutes
available. Browns policy this year will probably
be to play as many men possible. At any rate,
she will at least not be hampered severely as
she last year whenever any Of her regular
players were disabled.
The graduate system of coaching. started
at Brown some years ago and thoroughly success
ful in its results. has been continued Robinson,

tail, but a conference committee will
make the final adjustment.
Recently there was an interest
ing bedate on the question wheth-
er or not Congress. having once
extended the Constitution TO a Terri
tory, could withdraw IT, The incident
which caused the debate. was a recent
decision by one OF the lower courts Of
the District of Columbia that an Act
Of Congress was unconstitutional. The
point was made that the district was
placed by the Constitution. under the
supreme government Of Congress. and.
therefore. the Constitution had no force
in the district, and the court was in
error in holding that Congress had
passed an unconstitutional law. II was
admitted that the question was a novel
one. Senator Foraker inclined TO the
belief that there was no power In Con-
gress to withdraw the Constitution, II
IL had been granted TO any Territory.
Other Senators. without entering into
an elaborate debate took the same
view.
The debate in the House. on the bill
FOR governing Porto Rico, develops the
attitude of the Republican party on the
question OF the extension OF the Consti-
tuition. II will adhere strictly to the
doctrine that the Constitution does not
extend, Of itself. but must be extended
by Act Of Congress.

MRS. wEAvER's WORK.
Her Services at the Detention Camps
In Honolulu.

late issue OF the Chronicle says
that among the women who recently
volunteered their services in caring for
the thousands OF homeless foreigners
in the detention camps OF Honolulu
was Mrs. Ellen A. Weaver OF that city.
Late In December Mrs. Weaver re-
sponded TO a call from Honolulu TO as
sumo the charge OF the Castle Memo
rial Home for Homeless Children OF
Foreigners. Arriving in Honolulu she
found that the furnishing OF the home
had been interrupted by the general
paralysis of business consequent upon
the appearance Of the plague, but she
took her residence in the old Castle
mansion. When the persistent ap-
Iearance OF cases Of the plague In a
district of the city inhabited by Chi
nese, Japanese and Portuguese decid-
ed the Board OF Health to burn over
some ten blocks of ground in the heart
of Honolulu, many thousands OF peo-
pie were left homeless and without
food or clothing.
To prevent further spread OF the
disease the municipal authorities gath
cred these unfortunates into vast
camps, where they were held in quar-
antine. One OF these camps was In
Kawaiahao Church, the large struct-
ure in which Mrs. Weaver's father
Rev. Richard Armstrong, first Minis
ter of Public Instruction in the little
Island kingdom, used to preach. The
men and women who went TO this
camp to assist in caring for the

lives in their hands, as cases of plague
were hourly looked for.
Mrs. Weaver was one Of the first L

weeks that the camp was maintained

The women of Honolulu have beer

sufferers. and have been diligently
sewing to provide them with clothing
but only a handful dared TO run the
risk OF infection involved In goinl
among them.
