An Expensive Paper.

During the siege Of Kimberley the
editor of the only daily paper there
was often hard put to find enough
news. One day in clubroom he
found Cecil Rhodes reading a fairly
new paper from Cape Town. He bOr-
rowed it and rushed to his own office,
where it soon appeared as a special
edition, selling like hot cakes. That
same evening he met Mr.. Rhodes, who
inquired:
where's my Cape Town paper?"
ooh, I cut it up for the printers, y
was the reply.
please don't do that again." said
Rhodes, mildly. THAT paper came
through my native runners and cost
me $1,O0O.'

As he hung his hat on the rack In the

Mrs. Bowser heard him coming up-

she closed her eyes in hopes he wou'd

It was vain hope.

"No-nothing. I've just got a bit CT a

hope it will go away pretty soon."
"Oh, you hope do you? Well, it's no

from New Haven. Some critics say
that Yale has shown the best form to
date In the entire country, but these
latter soothsayers have not seen Mich
igan and Chicago at work.
Roome, who last year was general
choice for halfback ON the all eastern
team and who now Is playing full
back in the Yale lineup, has developed
into the most sensational defensive
player in years. The way he plunged
through the heavy Syracuse line and
dropped men back of it in their tracks
surprised even Rockwell and the other
Yale coaches. But there are several
Roomes in other uniforms on the team,
80 tits said.
Tad Jones seems about to live up
to all Walter Camp predicted of him
last year. when the little quarter was
a freshman and handicapped by inju-
ries. His taking advantage of the for
ward passes in the new rules was the
beginning of the Syracuse downfall,
but to point out the merits of the fast
and powerful aggregation in the Nut
meg State would mean to begin at one
end of the line and work sweepingly
to the other.
OF course Captain Sam F. B. Morse,
member of the family of telegraphic
fame, can be relied on for brilliant
back field work.
Charles Chadwick has been secured
to assist Rockwell and Hoyt in coach
ing. Chadwick saw all Yale games, and
noticed imperfections in the center of
the line
An end to replace Burch is one Of the
Yale problems now. Overall, who took
the injured mans place. played a dis
appointing game. He was slow getting
down under punts, besides showing
poor eye in locating the places where
the Syracuse backs were to strike the
Yale line. 1t Is hoped that Howard
Jones will soon be out to play, but he
is wanted in Alcott's place rather than
on the left end. COngdon, who substi
tuted year ago, is again swinging in
to his stride and may get the left end.
Harvard and Pennsylvania are still
pretty well in the rut of old fashioned
football. The Quakers were properly
frightened by Gettysburg. One thing is
certain-that if Pennsylvania will not
play the new football YOst and his
Wolverines will, and that will spell
disaster for the red and blue 1t is time
for the Quakers to be up and doing, for
in sense they have the football pres
tige of the east in their keeping.
Harvard's continued adherence to old
methods might almost be considered as
an act of bad football faith, seeing that
with Reid in the circle the rules com.
mittee saved the game for the Cam
bridge institution were it not for the
fact that most of Reid's teams develop
slowly. Yet here, too, there is need for
action, else some one Of the minor
teams may make splotch on the Grim
son escutcheOn.
COrnelrs continued good work and
versatility under Warmers coaching
speak well for the state Of affairs at
Ithaca. There is evidence of harmony
now between the strategist and his
host Of advisers called out to work
on the red and white eleven this year.
Further, Warner is in close touch with
the alumni, asking Of them advice and
suggestion and issuing frequent bulle-
tins of the most detailed order dealing
with the field work at Ithaca. 1t be

Searls has only served a little over a
