from His Majesty Alfonso XIII
This courier took me to the Nuevo
Hotel Espanol, and then we went tc
see about my baggage. AS Gibraltar
is a free port there was no diff Guilty
in passing the Gus tom house il :
spection. We were given tickle S
which permitted us to walk the
streets unquestioned, and we then
re-entered the walls of the town.
then realized that I was in a foreign
land, as | saw the foreign looking
people Ia good many Moors remain
IN Gibraltar and the rough, mar
row sire cts and walks. In some
places the streets were too narrow
for two people to walk abrea It.
The town with it's winding streets
looked like the pictures we see of
oriental towns, excepting that the
British soldiers could be seen march
ing in the streets and on the walls
around the town. The public gar
dens there are very pretty. saw
them after breakfast which I had at
l p. ~. The trees and flowers were
beautiful. There were a few monkeys
IN the fruit trees. The market
place was perfect babel of sound.
1t is a small square, with open
toJths facing the street. This is
where the people go to buy their
meat and fruit. I then went to the
exchange to have a little of my
Spanish money changed for Eng
llsh money which I had to use in
Gibraltar. After hearing a band
play, | returned to the hotel with
my guide. He told me that I must
have an early dinner and go to bed
early as there was long journey
before me on the morrow. He said I
should be ready at half past four in
the morning to go to the landing
where l was to take the ferry for
Algeciras. This ferry connects with
the train for Madrid. Madrid is
farther from Gibraltar than l had
imagined before l left America. I
had dinner at 6 p m. and am now
in my room listening to the fife and
drum and the tread of the march
ing feet of the soldiers of England.
On the morrow I will go from the
territory of Edward VII to that of
His Majesty, King Alfonso XIII.

From the Azores to the Pillars OF
Hercules.
lBY Ralph L. Raw

June %, 1905. Last night we
were in the harbor of San Miguel
with the lights of that city shining
upon us. This morning it is the
scene to which we are now accustom-
ed-watef on all sides. In. the
morning the weather was clear and
cool with. a. moderate wind. The
afternoon has i been cloudy and
there was some rain.
June "a. The morning was cloudy
and Fcool with a light wind and
smooth sea-. About noon the smoke
stacks of two steamers were IN
sight at the same time-one on the
northern, and one on the southern
horizon. We also saw a three
masted sailing vessel to the south
east. In the evening there was a
high wind and a rough sea. We
saw the lights of several steamers
to the north. The time on the ship
is now five hours ahead of Lancas-
ter.
June Is. 1t was cloudy and cool
this morning; the wind and sea
were moderate. The afternoon was
clear and warm with light breeze
and smooth sea. At D. m. some
clouds appeared on the horizon
to the southeast. We were inform
ed that these clouds hung over the
coast of Africa. TIL ltmade us thin k
we were near land but, as yet, we
have not seen any since leaving tt G
Azores.
June 26. This morning when ]
went up on deck the first thing that
met my gaze was the fortress and
rock of Gibraltar. This great fortress
was taken by the English from the
Spaniards in 1904 and has since re
manned a British possession al
though it has been hesieged by the
Spaniards at various times-in Feb.
1927, May, 1881; and from 1870 K
Sept, 1882. There it stands, al
emblem of England's power, like {
mighty lion crouched ready to sprins
upon Spain, and also ready to roa1
and pour hail of shot upon any
enemies to His Majesty, Edward
VII. 1t bristles with cannon. 4
reward of $4,000 has been offered t
any one who can find a place fol
another gun. The "Cretic" was il
the Bay of Gibraltar. To the cas-
was the great rock with the towr
on It's west side facing the bay; tt
the south appeared the Africa,
coast and the cliff on that shores
which corresponds to Gibraltar OF
the European side of the strait, thu
two together being called the Pill
lars of Hercules; away to the ives
across the bay was the Spanish
coast and the town of Algeciras
while to the north appeared also
the coast of Spain. On one side thu
fortress is protected by the steer
wall of the cliff, and on the othel
side, by network of batteries. The
rock is honeycombed by galleries
some of them being wide enough
for a carriage to pass. On the sum
NIT there is cannon with a range
of five miles. 1t can be aimed ani
fired by electricity by person away
below it. The upper part of the
rock is pale blue while the lower
part appears gray. l soon got ready
and climbed down the steps which
were at the side of the ship, and
was soon on my way to the land
ing, going on small steam launch

RADICAL FOOTBALL CHANGE.
Head Coach of Harvard Wants More
Skill and Less Brutality.

Cambridge. Nov. Sin a letter to
John D. Merrill, secretary of the Har-
ward Graduates Athletic associatloIls
the text of which will be published in
the Harvard Crimson TO-DAY, " lllisalli
T. Reid. Jr., head coach OF the football
team, takes the stand that the game
of football as at present played needs
to be changed radically. Coach Reld
says that the evils attending the game
are of such 8 nature that mere teen
meal revision of the rules viii not sui
fee to dispel them.
The text of the letter follows;
Cambridge. Nov. 9, 1905-John D.
Morrill,. Secretary Harvard Graduates
Athletic Associ8 ton:
Dear Sfr:-After several years ex-
perfence with inter collegiate football
after careful consideration OF the critic
isrns which have been of the game and
after many fruitless, but honest efforts
to change it so that the criticisms couId
be avoided. I have become convinced
that the game as It is played today mas
fundamental faults which can not pc
removed by any mere technical FeVls-
ion of the rules.
Although I am willing to admit that
the necessary roughneSs of the game
may be objectionable to some people,
that appears to me to be much less
serious than the fact that there is a
distinct advantage to be gained by
brutality and evasions of the rules, Of
lenses which in many instances, the Of
/ ficials can not detect because they are
committed when the player and the
BAH also are hidden from the eyes OF
the umpire. For these reasons I have
{ come to believe that the game ought to
be radically changed.
sI therefore respectfully request your
association which represents the alumni
of the university. Immediately to APP
point committee whose duty it shall
/ be to make a careful investigation of
the question and to report such
through alterations in the game as
will remove the unfair advantage now
obtained from violation of the rules,
will put a higher premium on skill.
make mere might and strength of less
value and will produce a more scien-
+ tific and interesting sport.
Very truly yours,
