FOOT BALL.
Gnme sntnrdnr


The great Yale Harvard foot ball game
at New Haven Saturday resulted IN a
sweeping victory tor Yale with a score
Of % to Q 1t was Yale from the first
| kickoff and the Mighty warriors OF the
! blue seemed bent on furnishing Harvard
| to the limit. Yale's goal was never in
danger. Throughout the game Yale
retained possession of The ball thee
quarters the time, and when 1t tell to
Harvards OF on mfr quent occasions to
try an advance, her line plays and end
formations were thrown back. When
ever Yale had the ball her team began
it's resistless march down the field.
When Harvard had the ball they were
almost invariably held for downs and
forced to punt. Harvard in six years
has won from Yale but once. In 95 and
90 no games were played, and 81 wit
messed a tie al Cambridge, at nothing to
nothing; 1898 brought Harvard'S great
victory on Yale field when the score was
II to 0. Last year witnessed tie with
no scoring at Harvard's own gridiron.
This year Yale began her season deter
mined to regain her prestige, and Satur
day s game furnished a satisfactory eli
max in that Yale and Harvard stood
alone, and the situation offered opportu-
nifty Tor an ihdisputable championship.
This went to Yale after a contest that
was truly wonderful Yale presented a
team which never he stated an instant,
and which began business with a rush
that seemed Impossible to check Only
three Harvard men lasted through theen
tire game. The only Yale man to sue
Cumb was Olcutt Al center who was fairly
dragged off the field in the last two
minutes OF play. After the Harvard
team returned to the Yale gymnasium
Saturday afternoon they elected Capt.
Days successor, who will lead the Grim
son t. am next year. The choice fell on
David c, Campbell, '02. who played left
end in the game Saturday.

Governor Roosevelt, in speaking at the
that Days lite work should be in the
army, and he has been very anxious to
see him go t. the military academy.
President Eliot and other influential
Harvard men in and about Boston have
taken deep interest in Days ambition,
and when the news was given out
by Mr., Fitzgerald that he had APP
pointed DAILY, it resulted in many CON
gratul ltory Diagrams being sent to the
popular captain. Daily will enter the
Academy on June IS next.
Cornell, Saturday afternoon, at Ithaca,
won from the University OF Vermont by
a score of AZ to 0, making her largest
total score of the season. In the first
half the visitors held down the Ithacans
to eleven points, five OF which were made
on a paced goal by Cross. The feature
OF the contest was a procession of the
who marched to the
field by classes, led by the cadet band, to
witness the final game of the season.

Lakes Drying Up.

Lieut. o Olutsen of the Danish army
has recently completed his second series
OF explorations in central Asia and par
ticularly on the lofty Pamir pla, eau,
where he began his studies in 1896 He
says that in tae past few years the guam.
tity OF water in Turkestan and Bokhara
has notably diminished. A number of
oases that were cultivated with much
success several years ago have now been
abandoned becase the streams that rem
dered their irrigation possible have dried
up. This phenomenon is particularly
prominent along the little rivers that
iced the Syr Daria and the ANU Daria,
whose sources are among the highlands
the Pamirs.
The quantity OF snow on the Pamirs is
decreasing on account of the rapid gro
sion OF the soft schistose rocks which
torn the ridges, the filing up of the val
leys and the increased average velocity of
the wind. With high winds blowing
over a surface that is now more level
than formerly, the SHOWS which led the
lakes, the sources of these rivers that
helped to give fertility to Turkestan and
DOhi'"i - ~" away III large part ana
the result is that the lakes are much
smaller than formerly.
He mentions in particular the Yechil
Kul or lake, which was formerly at least
200 kilometres (about 100 miles, in cir
cumt' rence. The lake is now only about
40 miles in circumference. Paris of it,
however, still exist as little lakes cut off
from the main lake in the lower parts of
the former bed occupied by Yechil Kul
when 1T was one unbroken sheet OF water.
This lake. however, is not one of the
feeders OF the river, for it is a salt lake.
A somewhat similar story comes from
South Africa with regard to the famous
Lake Ngami, discovered by Livingstone
more han fifty years ago. The dessica.
ton OF Lake Ng4m has made extremely
rapid progress in he past ten or twelve
years. When Livingstone reached the
lake in 1849 he found sheet of water
