MARQUIS IN FOOTBALL ToGs.

count Louis M. de Vallambrosa, mar
quis de Mores, the first member of the
nobility ever entered at Yale, has en-
rolled as member OF the football squad
and hopes to make the team this fall.
He is in his second year in the Sheffield
scientific school.
De Mores did not play football last
year, but as the squad is small this sea-
son he believes that he can be of some as
sistance and will loyalty respond to the
call for volunteers, as his ancestors did
when they rushed to the aid of the Fleuf
de Lis of France. The young nobleman
weighs 200 pounds and is an athlete in
bulk and courage, inheriting his love Of
rough sports from his mother, an Amer
ican woman.
Il am new at the game" he said re-
Gently, "and my attempt to make the
team may be regarded as presumptuous,
but am going to try for it,"
The young man is the son of the late
marquis de Mores, who was killed in the
Soudan in 1896 His mother is the daugh-
ter of A. L. Won Hoffman, formerly
well-known Wall street banker. Few
women have had as varied and exciting
career as that of the marquise de Mores.
With her husband in 1883. she lived on
ranch in North Dakota, and ably assist
ed him in his efforts to defy the beef
trust by shipping dressed beef directly
to the eastern markets To the cattle
men of the neighborhood she was always
known as the Queen of the Cattle
Range" and rode and shot as we'll as
any Of them.
Marquis de Mores, father of the Yale
student, is best remembered as the man
who challenged Theodore Roosevelt to a
duel. They owned adjoining ranches,
and some of the many misunderstand-
ings constantly arising on a cattle range
brought about a bitterness of feeling that
resulted in the sending of cartel to Mr..
Roosevelt by the French marquis. The
affair was setttsd amicably.
