GRID1RoS NOTES.

The Yale team may elect their cap- tain tonight. veeder seems to he the choice.
 If the All waterburys hold together they should have another good team next season.
 If the results are to be obtained from a player. he must be allowed to use his own judgment and this is true especially when applied to the position of Quarterback. The quarterback should be allowed to run the eleven and his signals should be changed on very few occa. sions. No player can show up well if the signal given by him is called on by some one on the team with more power. although it would seem as though what the captain says would go. The spectators the greater part of the time do not know what is go- ing on in the game and often times censure the person who is not really at fault.

BIG RUGBY GAME ABROAD. England Barely Holds Her Own ln Match with South Africans.

London, Dec 10-One of the big gest crowds. ever seen at the CrystaI palace gathered there Saturday after noon to witness the Rugby football match between the All-England and the South African team, popularly known as the "springboks." Follow ing in the footsteps of the New Zealanders, who. during their tour of Great Britain last season, lowered the cOlors of every opposing team but one. the Welsh. the Springboks have caused an equal sensation by the easy manner in which they have proved themselves superior to the Britinh teams. for they have 4l8 points so far. with only 45 points against them.
 Of the three national teams theg had hitherto met they had defeated two, namely. Ireland and Wales; buo they met reverse at the hands of tho Scots. In asmuch as England had proved herself better than Scotland on the football field 1t was naturally assumed that England would bs able to adjust the balance in the internas tional matches. But notwithstsndine that the Springboks were weakened by the Illness of some of their struoG, est players, England was barely ab1o to hold its own, the score being 6 oll.

Havana, Aas. o0.-1. rGnor is busy
with suggestions Of a conspiracy
among the police, and an open quar-
rel between President Palma and
Vice President Mendez Capote. At
the palace silence is maintained. In
certain quarters Capote is suspected
of bargaining with the insurgents. In
the event of the fall of Palma, how
ever, there is little likelihood that the
insurgents would make Capote presi-
dent. They certainly would not with
out at least the formality of an cleo
ton. In the reported quarrel at the
palace, bitter words are said to have
passed eliminating in Palma denounc-
ing Capote as a traitor. The vice
president is said to have replied that
Palma was a president without power.
A fight took place at Calabazar,
Havana province, between so insur-
gents and Is rural guards, with the
result that the latter retreated with
one man wounded.

Stranger Than Fiction.

A woman has just died in New York
at the modest age Of 105 who has lived
for many years on a diet of bread and
milk.
One by one are our pet superstitions
shattered until we rather expect it, but
this is case that is almost beyond be-
lieving.
Our regulation woman who lives to
the age of 105 or even III has put in
the larger part of her last half CEN
fury in ing attention to a clay pipe
and the kind of tobacco they grow In
the hills Sometimes. too she has been
in the habit of taking an occasional
nip at something from a bottle, but
this, however, is not necessary In the
case of man we sort of expect it,
though.
If many more cases of this kind
show up it will shatter the notion that
the good die young and incidentally
will deprive our prospective centena-
rians of lots of fun
