PIECEMEAL ASSIMILATION.

The Porto Rican, who 50 long has
been neither flesh. fish. nor good red
herring. but merely citizen Of Porto
Rico. and as such entitled to the pro-
lection OF the United States must re-
5oice that the word Of the president IS
SO soon to be followed by the deed.
The special message which the presi-
dent IS preparing. asking congress to
confer United States citizenship upon
the Porto Ricans, IS the best earnest
that his recent promise to the island
ers was based on something more than
semi-tropical courtesy
We need not fear that we shall give
the Porto Ricans overmuch If we con
fer United states citizenship upon
them. Their condition Will still be in
certain respects anomalous. They will
obtain none Of the rights that flow
from state citizenship as such He
would be q bold prophet who should
suggest that the rights OF the Porto
Rican citizen or the United states
would be even as great as those Of, a
citizen of the United States residing
In one Of the incorporated territories
such as Arizona or New Mexico. The
supreme court has given Porto Rico
Hawaii and the Philippines the "unin-
corporated territories" such a queer
character that they must long remair

guess as to what they are or are no

a Porto Riean citizen. do you thereby

this to say:
The tendency IS to become careless

Of repetition. The danger lies in Civ

grips you 1t is very difficult to con-

luxury of being careless or lazy. The

ness is the danger signal that you are
relaxing in that constant vigilance
which is your safeguard. If it attacks
you, hard work and much of 1t, is your
only defense. That IS my remedy.
Monotony? There should be no suck
word in the players vocabulary. It's
recognition would be fatal to good
work The things I find that tend to
distract me after a certain time, during
which I have been playing the same
character, are the unexpected introduce
ton OF some new piece Of business ;
the wearing of a new garment by one

These things, trivial though they seem,
catch my instant attention, assuming
gigantic proportions, particularly at a
time when every nerve is tense and
the emotions keenly alive. Unless I'm
on my guard. I am apt to lapse. 1t is

Glass Randaaes Now.

A novel dressing for wounds in the
form Of plain window glass has been
devised. An antiseptic preparation is
smeared on a piece of glass, which
is applied as a covering for the
wound. The merit Of this new meth
Cd lies in the possibility Of examining
the wound without removing the
dressing. 1t relieves pain, promotes
healing, and Is economical.

FRESHIES IMPROVE.

Both freshmen squads have improved
lot since Wednesday. In Wednes-
days games the whistle had to be
blown often on account of forward
passing and many a time neither side
when locked up in Serum" could get
the ball off properly. Both these de-
fects have been remedied to a great
extent and when the freshmen line up
now it doesn't take long for the ball
to be put in play. The freshmen don't
seem to be able to get over one habit,
however, and this habit is nothing but
the result of the years of training they
have had under the rules of the Amer
lean game 1t happens almost invaria-
bly, that when a freshman gets into
tight place, even though he can boot
the ball down the field or advan-
tageously pass it to some team-mate
who has a clear field, he tucks the pig
skin tightly under his arms, puts his
head down as of old and bucks hard to
gain a yard or two, with the result
that everything is stopped up and the
two fifteens have to get together In
serum" again. They have the same
habit over in Berkeley and it is OBJ
viously clear that both the Blue and
Gold and Cardinal "ba1Ies" will have -
unlearn this custom before they make
their grand bow to the public. Other
wise there will be much delay in the
1910 contest and lots of time taken
out. with the result that the speed in
Rugby won't be well deTonstrated.
The varsity squad is making all the
progress that could possibly be desired
The varsity Reds are really good
team now. The Reds are composed of
the best men from last years squad
such as stump" Stott, Bull" Chalmers
Molfno, Dutch" Koerner, Jimmy
Stanford, "Kenney" Fenton and Bill
Pemberton and the way these veterans
of the old game are taking hold Of
Rugby is surprising. They have all
the aggressiveness, speed and endur-
ance necessary, and they seem to he
possessed of a veritable instinct for
and old game of football. Holding
down the wing position on the Reds
are Track Captain Jack" MacFarland
and Holman the fastest men on the
field. Holman has already been the
star of two contests and he will GER
tainly have to be reckOned with when
they come to make the final choice for
the fifteen to go against California.
Although there is no discussion as to
who will probably be on the Cardinals
first Rugby fifteen, it wouldn't be at all
surprising if the majority of that fif-
teen, when finally chosen, should con-
sist of the members of the present
varsity Reds.
