OLD AND NEW YALE AND
 SOMETHING ON FOOTBALL
PRESIDENT HADLEY AND WAL TER CAMP BEFORE THE
 HARTFORD ALUMNL

Former Declares the Aim of Educa-
 tiOnal Institutions To-day Should be
 How Culture May Become More
 Dangerous Than Drunkenness or
 Gambling-Camp Hopeful for the
 Future of Football.
 Hartford, Feb. 9.-The annual Yale alumni dinner held here this evening was attended by about 200. James P. Andrews, president of the Hartford as- sociation presided and among the speakers were President A. T. Hadley of Yale. Walter Camp of New Haven, Rev. John Calvin Goddard of Salisbury, Colonel N c. Osborn of New Haven, E. L, Smith of Hartford and Charles Hopkins Clark, also of this city.
 President Hadley in his address re- ferred to the change from the old to the new Yale and declared that the aim of educational institutions to-day should be to train men for public ser vice. He declared that when culture is sought for it's own sake, and when it Is made selfish aim the temptations in- cident to its pursuit may become more dangerous than those of drunkenness and gambling, in one sense, because they appeal to men of higtler type and tend to undermine the ideals of public service. He believed, however, that Yale was strong enough to over come such temptations.
 Walter Camp, Yales athletic adviser, was introduced by w. H. Corbin, as 'the most honest football exponent in the United States, and was greeted with cheers and great enthusiasm. He reviewed the history of football and re- ferred to tf1e new football rules com mittee. He mentioned the new 1A-yard rule and another which prohibited tackling below the knees, saying that these two had been practically agreed upon, He thought that their adoption would do much toward bringing about more open play and making the game a better one to see, He was hope1ul for the future of football.

TWENTY RoUNDs TO 4 DRAW.
Result of the Fight Between Herrera
 and Hermann.

Los Angeles. Feb. S.-Kid Hermann, of Chicago, and Aurelo Herrera, of Bakersfield, Ca, fought a twenty round draw before the Pacific Athletic club tonight. The fight was a splen- did exhibition of clevernese on Her manns part and of decislveness on the part of Herrera. With the disadvan- tages In height, weight and reach to overcome, Hermann fought with splen- did generalship and cleverness. From the first to the fifteenth rounds Her mann had lead on points, using his left to Herrera's s body successfully, es- pecially in the in-fghting, of which there was great deal. Herrera. who was stronger and showed the harder punch tried hard to land his knockout on the jaw, but did not land it square ly during the entire fight. He stagger- ed Hermann several times by hitting him on the back of the neck and head, but the clever ducking and quick re- covery of the Chicago lad saved him from serious harm.
 After the tenth round Hermann gave his attention to Herrera's face and head, using a stiff left jab that found It's mark on Herrera's face many times As long as he boxed with Herrera, and kept him from setting himself for a blow, Hermann had the advantage, but in the exchanges Herreras superior hitting ability told.

 To His Honor John P. studley, Mayor
 of the City of New Haven:
 The board of education presents here- with it's annual report, as required by the city charter This report includes the report of the superintendent of schools to the board, the reports of the supervisors to the superintendent, the report of the committee of the board on finance, and the usual statistics, to all of which your attention is respectfully called.
 Previous reports have mentioned the rapid increase in the school population, and the consequent necessity of the an- nual increase of the appropriation for school maintenance, if the present standard of instruction is to be main- tained, and also the necessity of an an- nual appropriation to provide school rooms for the additional numbers to be accommodated, but the figures given this year by the superintendent pre- sent these facts with greater force than ever before. The increase of 5000 pu- pills in the school during the four years is an average of 750 per year. In that

 London, Feb 9.-The Statist, one of the leading financial weeklies of Great Britain, deals this week with the AL gerciras conference in long leader. The article predicts a failure to reach conclusion satisfactory to France, and consequently continued uneasiness In the commercial world, while at the same time the writer believes that war will not result. The point of the Stat ist's conclusions is that President Roosevelt alone can save the situation,
 JQSI tS Ilt dlOliC Wc6 esblt tO bAAhb about peace between Russia and Ja- pan"
 The Statist after dealing with the crux of the situation, namely the polic- ing of Morocco, upholds Frances right to demand that she should be given power to maintain order and to maintain police force. The Statist does not believe from present indica- tions that Germany will yield the point, that country preferring to hu- initiate France with the result of tying up for an indefinite period the inn mense sums of money now held inac- tive in France. "The small powers" says the article, "are afraid to meddle between Germany and France, and England cannot do anything that would seem contrary to the spirit or the let ter of the Anglo-F'rench agreement. Russia has too much to do at home, and Austria-Hungary is too much dis tracted. There remains, then, only the United States. If the United States Is willing to undertake the policing of Morocco everybody will hail with Joy her readiness to assume an unpleasant responsibility for the sake of preserv- ing the peace of the world. Nobody would attempt to dictate to the United States, yet everybody knows that the United States is impartial, and by un- dertaking the policing would not entan- gle herself in treaties, would not incur any danger, and would not impose up- on herself any gratuitous expense In return she would sweep away the dan ger of war between two great Eropean nations-a war which, if 1t broke out, would in all probability spread, and ul- timately become worldwide We trust that for the sake of maintaining the worlds peace the United States will in this case willingly depart from its set tied policy"
