Why,Not See Mexico.

Forty. eight hours travel will take you
from the cold clustering northern winter
to land OF sunshine and flowers. What
Egypt and India are to the old world
Mexico is to the new. "a land OF sun
shine, redolent with flowers; a land Of
gay costumes, crumbling churches, and
old converts: land OF kindly greetif>ks,
OF extreme courtesy, Of open broad hos
pitality. 1t was more than enough to
revel in an Italian sun, lighting up a
semi'tropical land; to look up to white
capped peaks, towering into blue; to,
look down upon wind swept plains a.
circled by ragged chains OF mountains;
and to realize that :oday. in it's varied
scenery, costumes, architecture, street life
canals crowded with fiuwer.ladep boats.
market plazas thronged with gayly
dressed natives, faded church interiors,
and abandonedI converts, Mexico is the
most msrvelously picturesque country
under the sun. A tropical Nenice, a
semi-barbarous Spain, a new Holy
Land." For rates and information

 For the most part, one finds this a delightful story for the young (and older ones will find 1t t'interesting), thorough ly wholesome in it's descriptions of boy ish play, their fishing and hunting. as well as its bits of village wisdom humor. and anecdote. If there are parts. however that seem common place and a trihe rough, perhaps. one pardons it for the sake of the delight full portrayal of child-world.

There shows in relation of every event the simple undertaking of fear full deeds. the courageous performances of almost impossible feats. the unos tentatious doing of each duty to it's utmost end that was ever characteris- tic of our best people.
 Never was this more plainly shown than in the crossing of the Mississippi by Colonel and Mrs. Wigfall under the enemies guns. Desire to quote this Is irresistible:
 After many Vicissitudes and tribu- lations the bank of the river was reached without encountering the enc my, the most dificult part of the jour ney was still to be made. When the width of the river is remembered. that the enemys gunboats were lying in plain sight, ready to send a shot in any direction, of the mode of conveyance proposed and successfully put in use the account seems almost incredible Two long 'dug-outs, i. e., trunks of trees hollowed out in the centre, were procured. The ambulance was then driven into the water and the 'duS-outs placed beneath the wheels, and the mules swimming bore the ambulance across the river. In the night the mas sage was made. and lying clearly de fined up and down the broad waters were the Yankee gunboats, their grim shapes looming like the awful monsters they were, with power to hurl death and destruction in an instant should even a suspicion arise of the daring travellers on their way over the father

And the river is as beautiful as Sandy's dreams" In return for the happy solving of school problems sandy inspires Gilbert with his en- thuslasm over the river and all out or door sports, that quickly transforms

slleriff stops q Prize Fight.

Newport, Ind, Oof. 2.-SheriH J.
stephen Sunday afternoon broke up a
prize fight by appearing at the ringside
in the woods near the Indiana Illinois
state line, arresting 800 spectators and
bringing two of the principals to jail,
Kid Hubert of Kansas City and Carl
Anderson of Hammond, Ind, were
scheduled to go twenty, rounds. The
men were in the ring when the sheriff
appeared and announced that every
body was under arrest. The crowd
then made break for the woods. An
derson and his manager, Kid Hennessy
of DanvilIe, Ill, were handcufed to-
gerher and brought here. Hubert,
who was stripped for the fight, escaped
with the crowd Most of the spec
tators were from Danville.

that was pride since Pete Allen, brother
of Forest Allen, captained a team in 1903
composed of Pooler, Hicks and other fast
all-arOund athletes With a star like For
est Allen on the team there should be
more active interest in the game than
there has ever been before.

Can you tell ne where I can find the

I'm the. man. shorty smiled down

"Lord!' said the questioner. what do

Full back was the calm answer.

he fed to tell his teammates.
The freshman coach has played football

men on the team it viii be no easy
task to replace them.
Princeton undoubtedly believes that
the magnetism Of Cooney, this years
captain. will go a great way toward as
sisting in building together a strong
eleven in 1905. Il is known that some
players from preparatory schools of
prominence have signifed their inten-
ton to attend Princeton. and it is very
likely that all of them will volunteer
for the eleven
The back field looks fairly good. with
the material left over from the 1904
squad, and there is some speed in evil
dence, even il the team is a bit weak
Robinson to train them. and Robinson
is another of those fortunate handlers
of men who knows how to care for them
so as to take them easily through
long campaign without serious physical
hurt
Quakers Look Strong.
Pennsylvania should be a strong fac
tor in football all the season, judging
by last years results. There are many
who think that outside of Yale football
elevens of 1904 were not UP to the stan
dard of some other years but it seems
as if this were rather unfair to Pennsyl-
vania. which played an earnest and
consistent game from the time that the
men finally found their own strength
until the very end of the year. Penn
SylNdilld Was diQGQ largely Dy stevenson,
a good quarter back who ran the team
in admirable fashion, and he will be
back with the red and blue this year
There is much to hope for at Cornell.
Glenn Warner viii be able to get more
out OF the eleven this year than he did
last. His experience in 1904 was of great
assistance in getting the men impressed
with his ideas and fitting them for the
football work of 1905. 1t is generally be-
lieved that Cornell viii be harder by 20
per cent to beat this year than last.
This will make the games with Prince
ton and Columbia especially interesting.
Five Oflast years team are likely to make
the eleven and will probably be given
their old places They are all strong.
and Warner believes they will play bet
ter football than they did a year ago.
Columbia TO Build Up.
Columbias 1905 future is largely a
matter of conjecture. There are very
few men left for the eleven, and Can
tain Thorpe viii be compelled to de-
pend upon new material to help him
out. A heavy task is ahead of this
hard working player. who will be
obliged almost to make a new team
for the light blue and white. It is rather
hard luck, after playing such good foot
ball as Thorpe has played for Column
bia. that his year Os the captaincy
should find him with such a load of re-
spOnsibility, and the students of Column
bia will be urged vigorously to come to
his aid and give him all the assistance
possible to build up a good team for the
New York university.
