"pora Thorn"

That ever popular play will be pre- sented at the New Haven theater, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights this week and at the matinee, Satur- day.
 It is declared to be an interesting story of human passion, ambitions and aspirations. These are the natural ma terials of the dramatist and the nys- terious pulsations of love and hate, those twin phases of that intricate spirit which underlines the worlds des- tiny, are said to be cleverly woven to- gether in this latest play.
 The bright and dark sides of life in a big city furnish the canvas against which the dramatist has silhouetted his group of characters that make up the web and wool of this story. The sill yer threads of pathos are said to be softly entwined with the golden threads of laughter in this drama.
 The piece is constructed on bold aI1o original lines and enlivened with ac- ton, clever dialogue, startling clifraxes and happy surprises. The Harry Sell ers' announcement has spared neither time nor pains to equip the entire pro duction with realistic scenic effects and modern appliances.
 An exceptionally capable cast is promised so that an excellent perform ance may be expected.

 ing Sevens.

Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Columbia and Dartmouth will form the Inter collegiate Hockey league this winter. These are the same colleges which last year competed for the Title won by the tiger seven.

Souther, captain of the champion St. Nicholas seven and a for mer Harvard star was chosen presi- dent. and B. V. Prentice, also of liar ward university, secretary and treasur- CT of the association
 The schedule adopted is round robin in which each team of the league meets each of its rivals. Barring only the Harvard-Dartdnout game, which is to take place at the stadium in Cambridge, the matches will all be played at the St. Nicholas skating rink in Manhattan. There was considerable trouble in arranging the schedule as Princeton refused to play after Febru- ary on account of the midyear exam nations Harvard also had the same objections, and for while it looked as if the Yale-Princeton and Yale- Harvard games would not be played. Manager Leake settled he difficulty as far as his team was concerned by te1ephoning to the chairman of the fac ulty athletic committee at Princeton who stated that he thought that the champion Princeton seven would be al lowed to play Yale on February 8. The Harvard delegates ran their chances of meeting Yale on February 1b. This date, however, may be changed.
 IA delegate from Columbia offered 6 motion that freshmen be allowed tt represent a college. The Manhattan students pointed out that there were so few good hockey players in the va. rious colleges that he believed 1t would be for the best interests Of the gamt to allow first year men to play Tn, motion, however, was lost. No othel business was transacted.

HUBER'S TEAM SENDS CHALLENGE Will Play Any Team in the World for Any Amount
 of Money.
WILL MEET ANY OPPONENTS
Members Wondering Why the Local Interstate Team is
 Keeping Silent.

Huber's Independents. the famous bowling team composed of Janswick, Collett, Huber and Riddell, issue a general challenge to any bowling team in the world.
 The team has challenged every team in the staxe bowling league and avery team in the interstate league, The challenges include individual matches, two men, three men and five men matches with stakes at any amount
 The only provision in the challenge is that the team which plays the h. dependents must be that of an organ ized club and not one picked for the occasion. The challenge naturally is extended to any team in the city and the Independents say they have offered many inducements to get contest with the local i5~erstate team.
 All talk of such match has by the interstate team been referred to some later date, so that the Independents fear it will be hot weather before the desired opponents take action in yegard to the matter.
 The broad challenge and the chal- lenge to the local interstate team are not the only ones issued, Down in Bridgeport Jimmie Watt has been rais- ing a rumpus about how he can bowl He has been individually challenged by George Collett, and Janswick and Col lott have together challenged Jimmie Watt and any other howjAr in Prtdya4 port. With the addition of Huber they have challenged any three men, and the whole team has challenged any five men. No answer has come from thu muddy city 1 Saturday night Janswick and Colioty will roll the republican two-men tean at the Republican club alleys.

Paderewski.

Spanish etiquette Is 6 fearsome thing for those to encounter who do not know it and one travelling in Spanish countries must always be on the look out lest he give offense to some one. Paderewski once had recital nearly ruined on account of this etiquette. During one of his tours of America he went to the City of Mexico, His com- ing had been widely heralded and there was great orowd to meet him at tho station and another waiting for him at his apartment in the hotel. Among these was professor of the piano and about twenty pupils. With his flock he most ceremoniously greeted the pi- anist, presented him with a. bouquet gave him an address of welcome and then returned to his own home to await return call He waited and waited but Paderewski did not appear The pianist did not know it was ex-
 pected of him and, besides ho was tired after his long journey and wanted te rest.
 Highly irlcensed was Mir. Professor
 He resolved to have revenge At the first concert that evening, he and his pupils occupied the most prominent
 seats in the front part of the auditor lum and the louder Paderewski played
 the louder the professor talked. Tn the
 end, however, the piano and the pianist triumphed. The professor had to listen; but for time 1t looked as fl
 the revenge would be effective.
 Paderewski Is announced to appear at the Hyperion Tuesday, December 10

The superiority of the Yale swim ming team was easily shown in Satur- days meet, and the aggregation should have no trouble in doing up the repre- sentatives of the eastern colleges which it will meet on its winter sche- dule.
