second off the record of the course.
The Columbia handicap and the
Bladensburg steeplechase were the
features of the card.

mounted and finished far behind the
bunch.

natural gas concern was considered,

Yale Has a Mighty Eleven to
Meet Crimson With.
Poor Prospect for a Coed Show
ing by Harvard.
BLUE KNOWS THE GAME
Princeton Team Was Quite
Outclassed by Them.
The Eli Line Possessed of q
Wonderful Power.

Boston, Nov 1S.-The defeat OF
Princeton by Yale at Princeton by
score of II to 0 Saturday gave a, most
of Harvard coaches and old football
men an opportunity to ''size up" the
team that next Saturday. on its own
grounds at New Haven, will meet the
Crimson aggregation. The Harvard
men gained a considerable knowledge
of the ability of the New Haven play
ers, they saw very few weaknesses ana
from the exhibition could draw little
hope for a Harvard victory. 1t would
be too much to say that Yale will have
a walk-over at Yale Field Saturday
afternoon, for it is the unexpected that
very often happens in the modern
game of football, and Yale'S backfeld
may make a mess of a Harvard punt
and a Harvard man may fall on 1t be-
hind the goal line or recover the ball
within striking distance. 1t does not
seem likely that Harvard will block a
punt or will be able to advance the
ball consistently for any distance.
Yale defeated Princeton Saturday be-
cause she had a team that knew more
football. Yale probably will win next
Saturday for the sane reason. The Eli
team is composed of veterans, espec-
tally in the line and it is the line that
makes the Yale team what 1t is TODAY;
Given a strong line and the backfield
can almost take care of itself, especial
ly when it is led by so great a football
player as Rockwell, the quarterback.
Yale's players are thoroughly ground
ed in the rudiments of football. They
have had football hammered into them
for a long time. not only this season,
but last year and the year before. They
showed more football instinct than was
exhibited by. the Tigers. But while
Yale's backfield may not be the best in
the country-possibly not as good as a
year ago-it put up secondary de-
fence that was a great deal stronger
than that of the Princeton backs. The
Eli backs seemed to be able to diagnose
the plays of their opponents more
quickly and reached the point of at
tack more effectively than did the
Tiger backs. Yale's defence is very
strong and the showing on Saturday
bodies ill for Harvard's tandem forma-
ton.

BLOOMS EVERY MONTH.
Queer Freak of an Apple Tree Belong
ing to TyrO Man

Tyro, Kan, Nov. IS.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
I have noticed in the columns of the
State Journal several times this fall men,
ton made of certain fruit trees which
had bloomed two or three times during
the season. We have an apple tree stand
ing in our yard in Tyro, Kan, that bloom
ed out in June last and has had blossoms
on it every month since. This is the sixth
month in succession that there has been
blossoms on that tree. Why this freak
of nature, L am unable to explain, but L
attribute it to the fact that it stands
where all the waste water from the well
at the house runs right past it's roots and
keeps it wet all the time.
Who can beat this record?

New Haven, Conn. Nov. 18.-The
visit here the next three days of Coach
Yost, Director Baird and Trainer
Fitzpatrick of the University of Nj Ii
gan, will be to arrange a game with
Yale next year.
The Yale schedule, however, will be
probably shortened instead of length
ened, and Michigan has little chance.
1t is a question whether Colum bia
will not have to be cut out. West
Point might be, if the army had not
beaten Yale this season.
The appointment of Thomas Lee
McClung as treasurer of Yale, really
gives the football another coach. Nc
Chung is Yale's most famous half
back of a decade ago.
