him gently and refused to send over

probably would have sent Gardner
down and out. This magnanimous ac-
ton on the part of the Chicagoan cost
him the battle.

arranged with John C. Bell of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania for the two univer-

year only but will probably be renewed.

played by Pennsylvania in addition to the
Michigan game already arranged. which
will be decided at Ann Arbor, and will
give the Quakers three important games.
including the one on Thanksgiving day
with Cornell.
The match is arranged subject to the
cago is in a peculiar position. At present
1t is bound by the conference agreement
entered into by the nine universities of
the middle west to play only five games of
foot ball and to observe other restrictions
upon training. Recently the conference
met and agreed to extend the number of
games to seven and to abrogate certain of
the restrictions. Like all conference agree
ments, these changes required unanimous
agreement of the nine universities before
they were enforced and Wisconsin has re-
fused to ratify the increase in the number
of games. This requires another confer
ence which must again pass the changes
over Wisconsins veto. If the expected
action is taken in spite of Wisconsin, OBJ
Stage will remain in New York until the
end of the week and participate in the
collegiate conference at the Murray Hill
on Saturday.

JOHN PAUL JONES' SWORD.
It Now Rests in the Library Of the
Navy Department

In practically the same condition as when
it was used by its distinguished owner the
sword of John Paul Jones now rests in the
library of the Navy Department where 1t
has been placed by Commander Reginald
Nicholson. The tradition was that Jones
wanted 1t to be given to the senior officer
OF the navy, but that. however, has never
been established. and the sword has been in
the possession of a number of persons out
side the navy. 1t Is believed that the weapon
originally was given to Jones by the North
Carolina family of that name at the time he
changed his own name, in compliment to
them.
From the best records obtainable, some of
which are verified by letters and other doc
uments in the Navy Department the
sword was given by Jones himself to Theo-
dosia Burr, daughter of Aaron Burr. Theo-
dosia Burr, after marrying Joseph Aston.
wealthy and talented young planter of
South Carolina, who in after years became
governor OF the state, presented it to Judge
Matthew Davis of Charleston, who gave III
to Rev Dr. Ducachet of Philadelphia The
latter gave it to Commodore Summerville
Nicholson and the commodore gave it TO its
present owner, Commander Nicholson
1t Is thirty inches long, longer than the
cutlas. and is of the style commonly term
ed 'gentleman's sword" in vogue in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries 1t is
beautlful in design, very strong and highly
tempered. The qualities as to shape and
temper are very remarkable. The hlt is of
white brass with the portion known tech
ncally as the basket broken away The
tang is wide and strong, and the grip piece
of the handle is of wood covered with twist
ed copper wire
A number of scars appear on the edge of
the blade, indicating that Jones frequently
had been engaged in hand-to-h hand encoun-
tiers.
