hit the New Haven eleven counted
without its host when it passed over one
man-John- r. Dewitt, captain OF the
Tiger eleven and playing right guard.
Through his individual ability, stamp
ing him probably the greatest individual
eridiron hero Of the season, he turned
seeming defeat into glorious victory
over old Nassau, the first victory over
old Eli for the Tigers since '99, when
Poe won the game for the Tigers by kick
ing a field goal from the same spot De-
witt kicked his. Dewitt has been foot
ball player ever since he grew large
enough to play the game. In his high
school and academy days he played the
game, and at Lawrenceville academy.
where he prepared for Princeton, he was
captain of the team. He entered Prince
ton in 1900 and played guard part OF
the season on the eleven, but was in
iured early and retired. Since that time
he has been one of the regulars, playing
right tackle in 1901, but returning to
the guard position in 1902. He proved
the mainstay of the Tigers. Last fall
he was unanimously elected captain OF
The eleven. He is giant in physique,
standing six feet one inch tall and
weighing 1876 pounds. He is % years
old. Even though the new rules had
not favored the development of the kick
ing game, Dewitt has been recognized as
one of the best drop kickers in the coun-
try. It was through his ability in this
department of the game that he was
able to wrest victory from the Blues.
Princeton's victory places the Tigers at
The head of the list of football elevens
in the country. Yale is put out of the
running by this defeat and Harvard
was beaten by secondary team like
Dartmouth. With the Yale game Prince
ton closed it's season. The Tigers played
a wonderful game all season and had
not been scored on by any of their OPP
moments until Hogan made a touchdown
COR Yale. Dewitt's aggregation has not
been a great scoring machine and has
made lower scores against some of the
secondary teams than Harvard and Yale
made against the institutions, but the
Tigers have been consistent at all times,
playing steadily, with the one purpose
ir view of beating Yale.

 LETTERS ON THE MATTER
Feels Mortified That Committee of Inc fluentiaI Citizens Should "Connive at and Induce a Wrongful and
 Unlawful Misappropriation."
To the Editor of the Age-Herald:

To the Editor of the Age -Herald:
 Upon return home Thursday night I learned that I had been unexpectedly brought into great notoriety for simply asking the Board of Revenaie not to do clearly illegal actin fact an act which Is now admitted to have. been without color of law.
 have been caricatured simply because I sought information from the Board of Revenue and the Commercial Club asAto the authority for making an appropriation of the public money and l find that on Tuesday inquiry was made at my house if was in town, and the party, who failed to disclose his identity, learned I was absent, thereupon a committee of very respectable citizens went with the president of the Commercial Club to the court house and with full knowledge in- duced the Board of Revenue to msappro- priate s5000 of the public monies.
 Members of Board Advised.
 Some of the Board of Revenue I know were advised that the appropriation was unauthorized-and if evidence of guilty knowledge on the part of President Jack son had been lacking he has certainly supplied 1t in his unseemly haste and his offer to indemnify the members of the Board of Revenue and the County Treas urer, if the newspaper reports are true.
 I can hardly say I am surprised for I am not but I freely confess that 1 am mortified to find that an influential com mittee of an organization, one of the prin- cipal objects of which Is 'to watch over. protect, and advance the business in- terest and general welfare of Birmingham aud Jefferson County, Ala" should be willing with full knowledge not only to connive at, but actually induce, wrong ful and unlawful misappropriation of the public monies, as has been done.
 If there had been a great public ca lamity, there might have been some ex- cuse, but here there is no excuse-it was simply obtaining public monies for a pur- pose for which 1t could not be lawfully applied.
 But I only trespass upon indulgence of yourself and readers on a question of personal privilege. I desire to state fully the facts and let the public draw it's own conclusions.

Having waited for four days. and in the meantime secured the money, I was favored with the following cheerful reply:
 Birmingham, Ala, Dec 2, 1903 Alex. T. London, Esq. City:
 Dear Sir:-Your communication, under date of the 2Sth ut. In regard to the board of revenue voting an appropriation of 5000 for the St. Louis Exposition fund, was du1X received. In reply, l beg to say that you, as an attorney, should be better informed as to any law prohibiting the sboard of revenue taking such action than I. The commercial club is com posed of representative citizenship, and it's members are of one mind as to the advisability of asking and receiving from the board of revenue the appropriation asked for The money received from the board will be spent in furthering the inl terests of all citizens of the county It is to be regretted that any one should, in any sense, oppose this commendable &C., ton on the part of the board of revenue. With these remarks. I submit my reply to your letter, having nothing further to say on the subject. Your letter will be presented to the club Friday evening, at it's regular monthly meeting.
 .Yours truly,
 "F. M. JACKSON Prest.
 For the sake of brevity, I have omitted the letter headings.
 I have given the whole record, and l submit that more inexcusable act of lawlessness has seldom come under my observation. It is not the 5000 which con- cerns me, for that can be recovered, and should and probably will some day be returned to the treasury with interest, but the injustifiable assault upon the county treasury establishes a most dan gerous precedent, and against this l must and shall continue to protest to the extent of my ability.
 What force can tirades against lawless- | ness have, with this record for an an- | swer? I may be pardoned for offering sug- | eestion as to securing the money for | creditable exhibit at St. Louis, which | strikes me as about fair
