HAYWARD.


The Harvard team is an anomaly. 1t
consists of a bundle of contradictions.
No championship team has ever shown
more complete decentralization than was
exhibited at times in the Dartmouth
game No eleven has played with more
spirit and determination, displaying the
highest type of scientific football than
did Harvard in the first 20 minutes of
the Wesleyan game, when she scored
more points than Yale had done in two
long halves.
make the ending uncertain only for "a
time The Harvard team of this year
is without its famous pair of tackles,
Cults and Blagden, who made the tackle
back fOrma ton work like Dile-driver
in burying the Yale line. Lee, the ia
nous guard, and Campbell, equally
well known at end, both chosen on the
All-American eleven, are missing. But
the famous back field is intact and as
strong as ever.
Yale appears to be stronger, both il.
the offense and defense. The Harvard
defense seems to be built upon the the
ory of crushing the play, rather than to
break through and spoil it. The play
comes to the line. and is there stopped,
partly by bending the opposing line
| backs and partly by sheer weight.
The Yale defense is formed on exactly
| the opposite theory. The men charge all
of the time and try to reach the runner
before he is started by breaking through
with fierce vigor. AS the Yale line is
|
ward, the crimson method of defense
should not work with the success it has
/ had against lighter lines. The Yale Of
fense will be directed mainly at the op-
posing tackles and inside of them. She
| depends upon small gains to take her
down the field in a steady procession
Harvard's runs, on the other hand. will
| probably be directed outside of the
/ tackles and around the ends. Her chance
of winning depends upon success in this
regard
The Harvard-Yale situation is some
what similar to that of 1900, when Har-
wards backs were supposed to outclass
/ Yale's. and Yale had the better line. ~
it turned out. the Harvard back field
found its efforts nullified through the in
ability of the Harvard forwards to cop'
with the Yale. line
| The contest should be close especial
ly during the first half, and Harvard
may score at least once Tt seems
though. that Yale should finally win

MRS. THORPE RETURNS.
Was Elected Vice President of Police
Matrons' Association.

The Western Police Matrons' associa-
ton which met in Kansas City last
Thursday, is the direct result of an
idea of Mrs Thorpe, police matron of
Topeka. She started the movement,
and the result was the first congress
of police matrons in the world. Eleven
matrOns, three from Missouri, four from
Iowa and four from Kansas We're pres
ent at the first annual meeting of the
association. Mrs. Thorpe reports that
the meeting was a great success, and
says that officers were elected and an
other meeting will be held May 15, 1908.
At the opening session held Thursday
afternoon, the police department of
Kansas City, Mo-, sent their compli-
ments in the shape of a large bouquet,
which was highly appreciated by the
ladies. Two public sessions were held
which were well attended. Each of the
matrons present read papers or made
addresses, giving their views of the
work in which they were engaged Mrs
Thorpe made an extemporaneous ad-
dress in which she expressed her opinion
that the proper way to combat vice and
crime was to pay more attention to the
children. when / began the work, "
said Mrs. Thorpe, Il tried the reforma-
ton of gray headed criminals, but it
was a dismal failure. Then my atten-
ton was drawn to the children who
came to visit their parents in jail In
one year 1 discovered that 40 of these
children had been arrested for crime,
and then 1 turned my attention to the
prevention of crime, instead of reform
ing criminals" Mrs. Thorpe organized
the several clubs for the prevention of
crime, and these clubs are now watch
ing over 500 children, who are kept in
school by the clubs, and taught to earn
an honest living. Atchison is the only
city in Kansas without a matron which
is entitled to one. Topeka. Wichita.
Leavenworth and Kansas City, Kansas.
have matrons, and they were all present
at the convention.
The next annual meeting of the as
ISOLATION will be held at Sioux City,
Iowa, where Mrs. Joanna Thurston is
matron.
The officers elected were Mrs. Pattie
Moore, of Kansas City, president; Mrs.
L. E. Thorpe. Topeka, vice president:
Mrs. Joanna ThurStOn, Sioux City, Ia,
second vice president; Mrs. Ella Glenn
Shields. Wichita. secretary; Mrs G. w.
Hill, Davenport, Ia. treasurer.
BY laws and constitution will be
drawn up by committee comprised of
Mrs. Alice Cheney, of Kansas City,
Kansas; Mrs G. w. Schmidt, of Cedar
Rapids. Ia, and Mrs. Alice Gribbon of
st. Joseph, Mo.
Mrs. Ella Glenn Shields, the Wichita
matron. is visiting with Mrs. Thorpe
this afternoon.

FITZ TO FIGHT EAST.
Lanky Bob is Sore on Los Angeles =
Sharkey Going to London.

New York, March 24-Asking Tom
Sharkey to meet Champion Jeffries in
straw So Fitz declared last night
and Los Angeles, so far he is con-
cerned, is now out of the question.
Il don't care if they accept my Of
fer" Fitz said, with evident sincerity
Il will not fight at Los Angeles. be-
lieve Jeffries and Delaney are interested
in the Century Athletic club and it
looks very much as if they were trying
to give me the worst of 1t. And they
went and tried to get Sharkey into the
deal Jeffries and his club are in q
terrible hurry to get someone else. 1t
is a case of Jeffries ffunking, / think
got to knuckle to their terms, and
they're cheap terms at that. I also run
a risk of another such nice game as
they worked on me in Frisco.
Pm up against it for fair, and unless
I hear something more favorable by
Monday this is my last day of hard
training l shall keep up my physical
culture both for myself and for my
business. But I'll cut out the heavy
expense I'm under unless I can see
something more definite than Jeffries'
talk
"Lanky Bob" dictated telegram to
be sent to Jeffries telling him of his de-
cision.
Fitzsimmons was holly indignant that
the Los Angeles folks should have
sought to break off his match with JEFF
fries and substitute another man. FitZ-
simmons punched the bag for 25 min
utes Saturday without a rest, boxed
four rounds with Rubin, both agreeing
not to hit in the face. then took on an
amateur boxer, winding up with a H.
N mute bout the wrestling mat.
Tom Sharkey has fatty declined to
play second fiddle to Fitzsimmons in a
fight with Jeffries.
81 was eager" he said, ito get another
chance with Jeffries and had a match
made with him, when I was brushed
aside for Fitzsimmons. These two men

them fight. I going to London.

CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
Mayor McCroskey of Logan is Placed
Under Arrest.


Logan, March paw A. McCroskey
mayor of Logan, has been arrested on
the charge of perjury" on complaint
filed by one of the lodge keepers of the
K. U. A. at Logan.
/ The ayor had sworn TO a complaint
alleging positively personal knowledge
of sales of intoxicating liquors by tie
h q. A. lodge keepers on a certain
date. viz: February ~; the mayor had
also,it is charged, filed complaints prior to
that date and since said date; and made
his threats that he would continue to
arrest the lodge keepers every day they
opened for business.
On the 18th day of March a trial was
had before Justice Of the Peace H :.
Brown. The justice, it is said had al
ready selected Jurymen before the at
torneys arrived to try the case; the de-
Tense objected to this and other pro-
ceedings but was overruled.
No evidence of sales was offered or
introduced the liquors were simply
brought into court and identified, and
held by the Justice to be sufficient evil
dence for conviction.
Explanations We're made by witnesses
that the liquors had been imported from
another state for their own use. and
that they had 'chipped i'm and employ
ed the defendants as their agents to
purchase such liquors outside of the
state. and they claimed they were there
fore in the lawful and boda fide posses
sion thereof
The defense also claimed that eff any
person, or fism obtained their liquors
