YALE LOOKING FOR ... =.
. CAPTAIN IN FOOTBALL

New Haven, CONT, Dec "a boom
for Tad Jones, for the eaptaincy of the
Yale eleven has beenn" started, by his
friends, but it is not likely that he
will be chosen at the annual election,
even if he allows the use Of his name.
jones' great generalship of the Yale
team in the Princeton and Harvard
games has called out the highest adj
miration among Yale men everywhere,
and many think that he is essentially
the man to lead the team next year.
Bigelow's popularity has not dfmin-
ished, however, and it is figured out
that when the election is held he will
be able to easily command enough
votes to win. Z. " T.
If Bigelow does not get the football
captaincy for next fall he will prob
ably be elected crew, captain for 1908
his senior year.: and if Jones is not
chosen football captain for next fall
he will be selected baseball captain in
1903.

WHAT WILL YALE =. =. :.
I. DO TO HARVARD?

New York, Dec. .S.-Altho it is now
said to have been a joke, colossal
bluff, ETC., it is undoubtedly true that
the New Haven team was forced to
accept the crimson list Of officials or
play no football with the Cambridge
It is recorded in the athletic annals
of the United States that Harvard is
not and never has been q game loser.
Fads and fancies, charges without
proof, and tendency to withdraw
from everything If decisions did not
suit them, have characterized the Cam
bridge managers in the line of sport
for many years. It will, however, create
a. precedent for rival to sever rela-
tons If that action is taken by Yale.
Heretofore the other big universities
have humored the crimson caprices OF
d aa1cy refused to yield, as the

Harvard was in 1889 in ' football, which 81

years. The cause Of the rumpus was

SNAKE, now a prominent Chicago

ball association was composed Of Yale,
Harvard, Princeton. Pennsylvania and
Wesleyan, and before this tribunal
Harvard laid charges Of professional
ism against Ames. The latter was fully
e1onerated just prior to the Harvard.
Princeton game, and for time it ap.
peared as If the contest might not be
played. At the end Of the f1rst half the
score was Is to 10 In Harvard's favor
but in the next period, Ames, stune to
desperation, won for the orange and
black, the final tally being Al to l5.
That settled it for Princeton in Cam.
bridge eyes, and the two colleges did
not meet again on the gridiron until
1895.1Se6, when Harvard had declined
to play Yale on account Of alleged
rough play by the New Haven men in
1894, when the latter won 12 to 4
The. tigers were used merely as a con.
venience by Harvard to vent It's nique
on Eli, and Princeton was glad to get
the game, having broken relations with
Penn after severe trouncing, also on
the grounds of roughness. Two Prince
ton victories were too much for Har.
ward, and matters were patched up with
Yale. s.. -:t
Now comes the stupendous bluff Of
forcing the Harvard list Of officials
down Yale's throat under an alleged
threat that either the list be accepted
or the game Cancelled. Yale has stood
much in the way Of Harvard idiosyn-
CRASHES in the past, but the limit has
probably been reached. The outcome
will be a matter Of general amateur
athletic interest In this country.

Bureau Of Labor.
Alaskan Fur-seal Service.

Notwithstanding the efforts Of this
government to put a stop, thru inter.
national agreement, to the indiscrimin-
ate slaughter Of seals by pelagic sealers
under the flags Of foreign nations, the
Pribilof seal herd without doubt suf-
fered more severely from this cause
during the past season than at any
previous time in its history.
Authentic reports show that the
Canadian and Japanese fleets engaged
in pelagic sealing during the past sea-
son numbered, approximately. thirty
vessels each. During greater portion
of the season numerous vessels of the
Japanese fleets conducted pelagic opera
lions within sight Of the Pribilof is
lands, the special government reserya-
ton. On several occasions the crews of
these vessels killed seals within the
three-mile limit On July l6 and II
some Of the crews Of four schooners
acting in concert landed on the islands
and raided the rookeries. The poachers
succeeded in killing about iS5 female
seals on the breeding rookeries. and
escaped with about 100 skins.
In repulsing these raids five of the
poachers who refused to surrender were
killed, while twelve were taken prison
ers, two having been wounded.
/ again renew the statement and
recommendation contained in nv last
annual report to the effect that sthe
decrease in seal life on the Prihilnf ia.
lands is directly attributable to pelaric
sealing, and a strong effort should he
made to secure international Regulations
which will stop it. z

Sixteen Jockeys met death while en-

were steeplechase riders, a particularly

Perhaps this big string Of fatalities
led Paul J. Rainey, the young million

big insurance policy on the life of his
star jockey, Herman Radtke.
The policy on the noted rider covers
a wide latitude. and if from any cause
he meets death before the end Of twelve
