Last Weeks Play Showed Vast
Improvement for Yale.
QUAKER CITY'S Big GOLF TOURNEY
American jockeys Wh Four Races
in France Yesterday.
PORTS IN GENERAL

so we'll advanced is the foot ball season,
| and well were the possibilities shown by
] the games of last week. that one now has
| fairly good basis for judging the big four.
| One or two other elevens of high ambition
may be included in this consideration. Co
! lumbia is certainly making consistent bid
for notice.
Yale, Harvard. Princeton. Pennsylvania
and Columbia have done enough. and their
scores-so far as scores signifcant-are
divergent enough to show that at this stage
of the season Yale is in better shape than
any other eleven. But. with seven weeks of
the season ahead. the situation may be
changed before the season is ended.
A favorable judgment now will not be be-
grudged the blues by her old rivals, for it
means life to the sport and unabated inter-
est in it if the New Haven foot ball men
climb into topnotch form again. Even
if Yale be given the better position now it
must be admitted that Princeton and Har-
ward give assurance of developing strong
combinations.
During last week Harvard and Yale
changed positions Princeton was hit just
enough by p!ucky little Lehigh to make the
Tigers realize what Yale forced to
learn two or three years ago-the progress
Of the small college elevens in knowledge
of foot ball and the possession of skill
Lehighs repetition against Princeton of
her score against old Pennsylvania lends
unusual interest to the stuat ton. The
same with Stevens three days before was
too easy for c0mpaf isen.
AS for Yale and Harvard, much may be
learned by review of their work last
week. On Wednesday Harvard had hard
tussle with Williams-a secOnd-rate team
and on Saturday Harvard found Bowdon
all that she could handle with comfort
But Harvard's coaches are able and the
season is young. The trouble is apparently
that the loss Of Harvards great center trio
is felt to greater extent than was antici-
pated.

Roberts Not Quite Ready to Move ~ He
10 Getting Stores and Supplies.
LONDON, April 13.-There is little
fresh intelligence from the seat Of war
in South Africa. 1t looks as though Lord
Roberts may be preparing to take q
strong force to clear the Beers from be-
hind him. A Cape Town dispatch says he
will not move for another week owing
to the necessity Of gathering stores and
supplies. =.
Sir William Gatacre' s sudden removal
is the theme of much speculation" The
curt manner in which it is announced
causes much comment. T6e general
impression is that it is cghnected with
the Reddersburg affair, although there
are many who consider that there must
be something muck more serious as
other generals in South Africa have
been retained in command after blum
ders more formidable than General
Gatacre's. The war Office has received
no news Of the death Of Colonel Baden
Powell and utterly discredits the ru-
NOR.
The operations in Natal have not yet
been fully explained. There appears to
have been an attempt to outflank the
British at Elandslaagte and to separate
them from their base at Ladysmith.
