EDWARDS STARTS FAST WORK.
Old Princeton Captain Takes the Tiger
Candidates In Tow.

CdnCluaCSS III OWs
PRINCETON, N. j., Sept. 24.-"Bil'
Edwards, the Tigers noted old guard and
captain, took the candidates in tow and
sent them through the hardest drill they
have had yet.
Barney, the big center from Andover;
Deutscher the guard; Rafferty,, the tackle,
and Carrothers, the new man from the
Shady Side. academy all came in for lot
of instruction. Early in the practice
Deutscher turned his ankle slightly and
was sent into the club house, although he
protested StrenuouSly that the hurt would
not interfere with his playing. Barney
was up against the veteran short again,
and he worked hard. Rafferty, showed up
in fine form, breaking through and almost
invariably getting down the field before
the other man.
The coaches sprang a surprise when
they put Veterlein, the promising young
fulIback from the Penn Charter school, at
quarterback. He fell in with the ways OF
the new position readily, passing accur-
ately and handling the leather with hard
ly tumble.
The practice was the next thing to q
regular lineup There was tackling and
plenty Of other rough work, although no
attempt was made to advance the ball
by regular stages.
At the conclusion of the days work
Coach Edwards, who will remain here for
a week, said: Princeton has some good
looking material on the field, but the most
Of it is very inexperienced. Under the
circumstances, it looks as though the pre-
liminary work ought to have started a lit
tie earlier, as we have only seven weeks
before the contest with Yale, not to speak
of the games with Cornell and Columbia
earlier in the season, and it will be a pro-
digious task to whip the team into shape
in the time that is at our disposal. Yet
if the men are willing to work, and If
they are not handicapped by injuries, we
may be able to do something
The injury to Howard Henry's hand
was not so serious as was thought at
first, and his retirement will not be Of
long duration.

lation to prevent the immigration of the
vicious; the speedy construction of the

UNFAIRLY take the place Of beasts Of
burden:
Dear Brother: In answer to the
communication printed in your re-
spectacle newspaper, the Swan River
Star, in which it was written that our
brethren in religion obliged us to work,
women and girls, Sisters Of the Chris
tian Community of the Universal
Brotherhood of Doukhobors, ask you
to print in the same paper explaining
that we, without any constraint, did
free and entirely voluntarily act as
as beasts of burden.
1--WE believe that it is good when we
are sharing with our brethren in the
use of the food, clothes and home to
share with them in the labor, too. It
would be useful for all the women to
work themselves and not to be sup
ported by some other ones. We think
that it is illegal to work with the help
of cattle. If our men would take the
most difficult work of pulling the wag-
ons we would be content with the easy
one. Respectfully yours, Sisters of the
Christian Community of Universal
Brotherhood of Doukhobors,
