Work on the GridirOn-

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec 1L-More than
hfty men responded last night 70 the
call for a meeting of football candidates
and, together with Coach Yost, who came
from Detroit especially for the meeting,
the work Of next year was talked over
In his talk to the men. Coach Yost slgni-
fed his intention of coming to Ann Arbor
Eastes for a week or two this winter to
keep the men at work
In the spring ne said. I'VE will have
hard training, much more systematic than
last spring. when l had to spend nearly
all the time looking for a quarter back.
Now that the season has been curtailed,
It is necessary to devise some scheme 10
get the elementary work out of the way
before regular practice begins. and the
only way I can see TO do that is TO hold
regular spring practice"
Yost also urged upon the men the inn
portance of regular work in the gym

10 develop speed, the greatest requisite
for great player under the new rules"

BREAK OF COLLEGES LIKELY
Yale, Princeton, and Harvard Plan
Three-cOrnered League.
VIII Probably Withdraw from Inter
ball and Row Together.

New Haven. Conn. Dec 4-Athletic
negotiations now in progress between
Yale, Harvard. and Princeton may result
in the most important new alignment Of
prominent universities in the East since
the dissolution of the historic Intercol-
legiate Athletic Association in 1893.
The scheme was begun by Yale when il
urged Harvard and Princeton to get to-
gether after the Harvard Pennsylvania
break. more than a year ago. Yale has
become thoroughly wearied with playing
both Harvard and Princeton, while they
do not meet each other. Not till Coach
Roper. Of Princeton. visited Harvard. just
before the Harvard game in Novem-
Der We're the sessions begun looking to-
ward the new pairing OF university rivals
The scheme is far from completion. but
indications are that before another season
a general understanding in all branches
of sport Will be arrived at by the trio.
The most important feature Of the agree
ment will be the assurance Of q Harvard
Princeton football game II football had
been on q firm basis at Harvard il is
likely that q game with Princeton would
have been arranged for this fall but the
success Of revised football has finally put
the sport on such a basis that there is no
reason now why the match should not be
arranged for next season.
Next to an annual Harvard Princeton
football game the presence Of Princeton
at the annual Harvard boat races
is the most important feature of the
probable agreement Both Yale and Har-
ward have been canvassed by Princeton
men as 70 their willingness TO allow the
Tigers 70 row annually at New London.
and both have given a favorable response.
Whether the Tigers viii make a formal
application 10 be allowed TO enter is not
yet certain. The Princeton representatives.
who have informally discussed sending
crew to New London have said that
Princetons rowing policy was not yet
certain and thar il hardly seemed pos
sible 10 get crews ready TO send to New
London the coming season. and the CON
summation Of the proposed annual triple
race on the Thames seems a triie in the
future. As the three universities meet
annually I'm baseball. the proposed new
understanding viii make no change what
ever in their relations in this sport.
It would create no surprise If all three
should break away from the Intercol-
legiate Track Athletic Association. They
are reported dissatisfied with conditions
in that organization. and Yale and Har-
ward have for years threatened to break
away With Princeton triple track assoc

Who Is RcspOnsibles

Wherever in all the world the spe-
cial gifts of women are needed, there
is wOman's sphere, says a wise woman
writer. The qualities that differenti-
ate woman from man are affection.
quick sympathy, intuitive perceptions,
Il gift for sweet ordering, arrangement
and decision; while man is the creator,
defender and discoverer. Each is es-
sential to the other, and each should
enter in some degree into every phase
of the others life. This dispoSes of the
drawing of arbitrary lines. If men
will become truly manly and woman
truly womanly, both will grayitate TO
their rightful place in any age of the
world.
If man today were the brave and ten
der lover and protector he is intended
to be, he would have no occasion to
complain that woman has grown in
dependent and even entered into com
petition with him. 1t is because men
have first been deficient in wisdom that
women have come to seem deficient in
love.

Do You Freckle!

Freck,e remedies are always in or
der. Here are several:
Morning and night rub over the skin
a combination made of a half dram Of
boracic acid and quarter of an ounce
of ointment of rosewater. Do not think
that this is going to cause the freckles
to disappear like magic. 1t will not.
1t will simply prevent them from in
creasing, and if they are very light in
color will cause them to fade after
a time.
Stronger, but quite useable, if one
does not unnecessarily expose the face
at the time, is sixteen grains of oleate
of copper mixed with half an ounce of
oxide of blue ointment. This should
be rubbed on night and morning after
washing.
Still another lotion that can be ap-
piled several times during the day is a
mixture of two ounces of Tactic acid,
one ounce of glycerin and half an
ounce of rosewater. 1t should be
mopped on with a bit of muslin.
An ointment that lis sometimes more
convenient to pack than liquid is
made of ten grains of levigated sui
plate of zinc and half ounce of elder
flower ointment. These are mixed and
rubbed on night and morning.
