SPORTING.

Yale won from Harvard in the closing
football game of the season at Cam
bridge Saturday, but the easy victory
which was generally predicted proved to
be the hardest struggle of the year for the
blue, and but for a nun by Nichols, a
Harvard substitute back, the result would
have been a tie Harvard played the Ellis
to a standstill in the first half, and three
times carried the ball to dangerous ground
for Yale. When the fatal tumble came in
the second half Forbes of Yale fell on the
ball on Harvards 80 yard line, and from
there It was carried over by hard, rushes.
Goal was kicked, making the final result
6 to 0. The big stadium at Cambridge
was packed with $4,000 spectators For
the fifth consecutive year Dartmouth de-
feated Brown, the score being "a to 6.

LONDON. Feb. il.-George Edwardes,
the theatrical manager, who went to New
York 70 witness the first production there of
-The Duchess OF Dantzic.' says that in
architecture and fittings the English thea
tres are far behind those Of America.
New York has three first class playhouses
10 every one in London. Some Of the quite
ordinary New York theatres. he says, cost
GOO 900, while Days, one Of the most ex
pensive in London cost only Gl2O 900.
Much as Americans like TO be amused,
however. New York has too many theatres,
he thinks.
Americans have not brought out n notable
new play because the country is too young
to produce good plays. Therefore they
must import them. He did not believe
that the invasion OF tho British playwright
had caused any jealousy; it was only form
of dumping to which the Americans did not
object.
Dave Warfleld, he says, ia one OF the finest
actors he has ever seen.
What's the use of asking Maude Adams
to come here2' asks Mr.. Edwardes. -She
commands a salary that we poor London
managers cannot afford because we have
not got the audiences
