YALE HOLDS
HARD SCR|MMAGE

New Haven, Oct 2L--Coaches drove the
Yale Varsity players through a hard Is
minute scrimmage yesterday afternoon.
which developed some more encouraging
features. - Coy. Philbin and Tad Jones
made up the back field for the first 10
minutes OF play. SO stubborniy did the
scrubs manage their defence that the
Varsity did not once get inside the 25-
yard line. although their style OF attack
was fierce. Whylie. Burke and Dimes
were put into the back field and with
Coy the battle was continued.
Wylie and Burke hammered the scrubs
line with more success than had attended
the efforts of Berger and Philbin. They
worked down from the 40-yard line to the
l6-yard mark and there on a forward
pass Alcott received the ball and made
a touchdown. After this the work was
confined to attempts by the Varsity 10
score, starting with the ball on the
scrubs 25-yard line. Wylie made a neat
run and scored the second touchdown.
The Varsity showed up in better form
yesterday afternoon and fumbling was
scarce.

ignoring. 10 the limit the authority OF

About six weeks ago the friction be-
tween Chairman Shonts and his office as
sstants in Washington on the one hand,
and the Civil Service Commission on the
other. became so pronounced that the lat
ter made 81 report 20 the President detail

President called upon Chairman ShOnts

The acceptance Of his resignation by the
President was not fully expected by Mr..
Shonts. He had thought that rather than
lose him as chairman OF the Canal Com
mission the President would quietly order
the Civil Service Commission 20 hold
alOof. and thus Chairman ShOnts and his
office assistants in Washington would be
left with a free hand.
Il is said that Leon PepDerman, one Of
Chairman Shonts chief office assistants,
has been even more defiant of the author
ity Of the Civil Service Commission than
has Mr. ShOuts himself, and that Mr.. Pep
permau has exercised a prerJgative IN the
matter of employing young engineers and
others of that grade which violates the
civil service rules. Mr.. PeDperman, il IS
reported. viii go with Mr.. Shonts 10 New

Commissioner Macfarl8nd yesterday an
nounced that strict investigation will be
made OF the collision which occurred be
tween Engine Company No. % and "A
street car, as n result of which the TWO
horses were killed. Commissioner Mac
farland arrived on the scene after the
fifth alarm. The fire was then under
control
Deputy Chief Wagner. In the absence
Of Chief Belt, who is i'll at home. directed
the work admirably" said Mr. MacfaT-
land yesterday. THE tremen deserve
great credit. as the fire had gained great
Roadway before the alarm was turned in,
and they fought under difficulties because
of the weather. The water froze over the
ladders and other apparatus making
them exceedingly difficult TO handle. ir
addition to which the streets were very

The fire is considered by the District
officials TO be another argument for the

item of $4,000, which was recently
excluded from the Commissioners esti-

SKATERS OUT IN FORCE.
Many Take Advantage Of First Ice
of the Season.

All through the day and a great part
Of last night skating ponds about the city
were dotted with active figures gliding
along with great enjoyment ard thor
oughly alive to the pleasures of the first
ice skating Of the year.
Boys and girls, with skates thrown over
their shoulders, could be seen AT all hours
hurrying to their favorite pond Many Of
the younger ones took them 10 school 50
that they might rush off as soon after
. o'clock as possible. and some. who were
willing to brave their teachers dis
pleasure, let school go till another day
when the ice VIII not be so tempting.
The little basin. Chevy Chase Lake. the
Zoo, and the Soldiers Home ponds drew
most of the pleasure seekers, while the
sea lion pond and the Eastern Branch
also had its share of skaters. Hopes were
expressed on every side that the cold
weather would continue SO that Wash
ingtOn could enjoy a long spell Of skating
