T. H. Brayton:
Dear Strive shall have to make a

than previous shipment, it is still very
poor and much inferior to what we are
getting elsewhere, or even from your

being introduced into many furnaces
which improve the quality Of the output,

We are sorry, but as friends we would

quality of our ore" Longmore said
firmly a he passed the letter back.

HARVARD MEN START.
Coach Crane Fails to Attend the First
Practise at Cambridge.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Sept. 19.-The Har-
ward football warriors, Twenty-Five strong,
rushed out on the freshman football field
yesterday afternoon for their first prac-
tise. The cool weather. coupled with the
customary activity of the men early in the
season. gave the practise n splendid start.
Coach Crane was not on the field, a fact
which was unfavorably looked upon. His
place was ably taken by Assistant Coaches
Reggie Brown and Leo Early. Captain
Parker started the season by taking n de-
cidedly active part in the direction of the
work.
The first session was short, lasting only
forty-fve minutes. The men were first put
through a little by passing the
ball. 1t could be easily seen in his prac-
tise that the men were not 30 handy with
the pigskin as they were when they said
good-by to 1t last fall.
There were a couple of impromptu line
formations for punting, but it was a very
mediocre exhibition for Harvard football
men. It served, however, to give the
ends some practise il running down the
field and following the ball. The backs did
their best in trying to catch some Of these
punts, but most of them were far out Of
reach. Catching long throws took III ff-
teen minutes of the time.
