Romance Growing Out of Yale Crew
 Victory to End in Marriage.

New Haven. Nov. 30.-A romance resulting form the victory of the Yale crew from Harvard in 1902 was revealed here last night. when ii became known that Cornelius ]. Daly. the former Yale Oarsman. is to marry at St Patrick's cathedral in New York city on December 2. Miss Margaret Beck, a Cleveland society girl.
 Daly was one of the strongest men that ever handled an oar in a Yale crew. Miss Beck was a spectator at the 1902 race and met Daly after it. They were drawn together from the start. Daily is now located in New York. having come east recently from Montana. where he engaged in min ing after leaving Yale.
 Daly's home is in Worcester, Mass. and he has a host of friends here It was a bitter blow tOthem and a sen sation when in 1903 Daly was taken out of the Yale varsity boat a few days before the race with Harvard On the Thames and prevented from row. ing by the faculty because of alleged ''eribbing" in an examination He did not re-enter Yale

THE GRlDIRON LAST GAME
 OF THE SEASON
Naugatuck Will Meet All Water bury To.Morrow-The Bluff
 Called.

The All Waterburys and Nauga- tucks will meet tomorrow out in Rockville for what may be the last game of the season. It will be a great battle between those two teams and each will strive to take that final contest. Naugatuck believes they have the Indian sign" on the local team because so many of the All Waterburys are on the crippled list, but Managers Cronan and Slavin say that Naugatuck will. go back to the borough beaten and well beaten for once in their lives. Relative to the bluff of Danny Walker of Bridge port about playing the Acorns of that city for a purse of $200 to $500, the following communication was sent in to the sporting writer this morning:
 Waterbury, Nov. 30, 1907.
 Dear Sir:-In this mornings Re- publican appeared a hot air challenge from Danny Walker of Bridgeport, manager of the Acorn football team. In this challenge he says that he will back the Acorns of Bridgeport against the All Waterburys for $200 or $500 side. Strange isn't it that Danny should wait until the season is over before issuing his bluff? We beat the Acorns the first time we met them. Then we went down to Bridge port with a crippled team and with some of our best players missing from the lineup and we played them a no score game. To give Manager Walker chance to see what they could do we played them again in this city and again there was no SCOT ing. Thomaston beat them one game and scored on them in every game they played them, something Thom- aston could not do on us. We have won the championship of the state and had Manager Walker made his bluff several weeks ago we would talk to him and talk strongly. We have large number of cripples on our team and probably that is the reason Mir Walker is so anxious to play game. Brant, Farley, Han non, Bauby and Joe Bagley are so badly crippled that they cannot play, and yet if it was not past the foot ball season we might take up this Acorn bluff and give them the trimming they deserve. Why we had to go down to Bridgeport and induce Manager Walker to get up his team this season. He wants to make good with the Bridgeport public now that he has made a poor showing this season, but it don't go down with us. It is the biggest hot air challenge that was ever issued and shows how sore the Acorns are over their defeat at our hands.
 We stand on our record which excells the Acorns this year as it has every year. We have played big teams all season, not little fellows down in Bridgeport.
 Respectfully yours,
 M. SHAWN,
 l.. CRONAN,
 Managers.

of the situation. go right to the heart of it and so arrange and manage as to handle the football development in a thorough manner will be the man of the hour in Harvard foot ball" he said. 'I for one earnestly hope such a man can be found, and I am not the only Harvard graduate who does. Why, to beat Yale is worth something-it means some thing to win from such worthy op- ponent as Yale. One of the proudest moments of my life was whenI beat a noted Yale runner in the track competitions. It was worth trying for and I am just as anxious to see Harvard beat Yale in sports nowa- days. Tn order to get on an equal footing with Yale and have an equal chance we must approach fales sound and able system of developing her teams. We need scientific coach ing for one thing, some such man as Walter Camp at the head of things. in whom players and graduates and undergraduates have the utmost confidence and who knows what to do and how to do it. There aren't many Camps. remember seeing him play football when there were fifteen men on side. and he out classed everybody he went up against: but there have been capa- ble football players at Harvard and there are those among them who are capable of dealing with the situa- ton, somebody who. like Camp, knows how to teach football and in whom everybody would have conf deuce. At Yale and Princeton they go on the field not only to play the most football they know. but to win to win if it is possible by fair means, The incentive to win is there. It is part of the American makeup to win if such a thing can be done squareIy. Individually men are the same everywhere. at Har- yard and Yale and Princeton. and [ should like to see Harvard getting the same results as the others I think a wider prevalence of that opinion among Harvard men would be a good thing for Harvard foot ball and for the sport in general Was there ever anything finer on the field of competition than that brace of YsIs's in the second half against PrineetOa2 Well. that's what I want to see at Harvard That sh0Es what coaching can do. and want to see something like that at Harvard ! am iE sympathy with the Sullivan article and hope it sfirs up Harvard men so that they viIl get together and bring more victories over an opponent to defeat whom is worth bringing about"

WHAT HARVARD NEEDS.

To hear the talk in some circles Saturday evening"" writes W. D. Sul- liyan. you would almost have thought Harvard had won, but yes terday brought more serious refiec- ton. and in maay places where foot ball was discussed occasionally a Harvard man would make bold to express the sentiment: It is high time We got over eomplaeently pat ting ourselves on the back when we do pretty we'll but not well enough In other words is it not about time for Harvard men to stop accepting defeat with perfect complaceney and quit confusing qualification over un- expected strength and splendid indi- vidual courage and provess with sat- isfacti0n over a iIs1 Ezme2" A HsT- yard graduate. in his day one of the best track athletes in the inteTcol- Iegiate arena and vhO also played football. said he was for the fore going sentiments The Harvard man vho can bs found to take hold

STARLIGHTS BACK OUT AGAIN.

The Films of this city and the Star lights of Naugatuck were to have played a preliminary game to the big All Waterbury and Naugatuck game tomorrow, but once more did the Starlights get cold feet and back down. It was only a few weeks ago that they did the same thing and refused to play unless the Films would go down and play them on their own field. They were to have played the Films tomorrow if the All Waterburys agreed to put up $50 for the game. This the All Water burys acquieseed in and they were to have played for purse of S100 side from that. Everything looked bright for good preliminary when the Starlights took the woods and decid- ed that they did not want to play un- less in their own back yard and the game was called off.

shipmen at Football Today.
 Philadelphia. Nov. 30. - The West Point and Annapolis football squads are here ready for their annual strug- gle on the gridiron at Franklin field this afternoon. They were followed by several thousands.
 The middies were the first to reach here and went at once to the Walton. which is the navy's headquarters. Less than half an hour later the West Point CTS arrived and were warmly greeted by a large crowd. including several of the Pennsylvania players. who were easily recognized in the throng by the bruises they received in the game with Cornell. Both elevens went out to Franklin field and had short signal practice.
 The army players and coaches make no attempt to conceal the fact that they expect to win and reverse the re- suit of last years match. The mid shipmen are more modest and hope" to land the victory. The trainers say both teams are in excellent condition.

There was plenty of good bowling last night and several fast matches were decided. The Stemms and the Lewises had battle royal and it was hard to tell which team would win, so closely did they bowl. There was but a difference of four pins when the last ball had been sent down the alleys. The Lewises came out the victors. The following were the scores:

CIRCUS PARADE GORGEOUS

Parades may go on forever, like
Tennyson's brook, but there will never
be anything to approach the beauti-
full street display which the Ringing
Brothers are this season presenting as
the Introductory feature of a day at
the greatest circus of all times.
The whole world has contributed to
this great pageant. The far east has
sent the beauties of it's courts and
harems, brigands of the sand plains
and caravans of merchantmen, all in
the richest of Oriental costume; from
come barbarian orchestras, tribesmen
in fantastic paint and dark-eyed
maids; Europe has sent it's soldiery
in emblazoned uniforms; the jungle
has been penetrated, and snarling
beasts pace to and fro in open dens,
and seemingly even fairyland has fur
nished their living pictures from child
lore and drawn by tiny ponies from
the land of the Lilliputian.
Barbarian tom-toms and reeds, siren
pipes, the soft strings of sunny shores
and the military bands of the Anglo
SaXton constantly fill the air with mel
ody, and, looking down the street over
a sea of waving banners and flags
and a thousand nodding crests at the
heads of pure white horses, sight pre-
sents itself that will live long in MEM
DRY. Nearly 1900 men, women ard
children, 65S horses, and more than
half the elephants in America are
seen in this pageant.
This great parade will be seen in
Walla Walla when the Ringing Bros.
circus exhibits here Thursday, Aug.
Is.

Small Farms Will Do Many Wonders
(HaineS RecOrd.)

What farmers can do on small tracts
of good, well titled and properly util-
lied land is a subject that ought to
interest multitudes of people in Powder
valley. Such farming is being sue
cessfully conducted in other portions
of the state, and there is no reason
why the same results cannot be OBJ
tanned in this section
From 20 acres of good land rightly
used, man in 10 years can get rich
at least become comparatively we'll off,
and can make enough to ride up to
the bank in an automobile to make his
deposits.
It's the small things that counf-the
products of diversified farming that
brings in the money. The farmer with
Strawberries, fruit garden products,
chickens, eggs and hogs to sell will be
on "easy street" in a few years.
Powder valley offers these opportu-
mites. Get little farm: then nurse,
love, tend it carefully; get all posi-
BILE out of it without abusing it, and
be one of the most independent men
On earth.

TO SELL STATE
LANDS TODAY
PRACTICE OF LEASING PUBLIC
DOMAIN TO BE DIS.
CONTINUED.

State land to the value of third
of million dollars is being sold in
several counties of this state today.
This is the first sale-e IF the lands UNI
der the new. law and it is expected
that the land will go at good prices as
competition is expected to be keen.
According to Tax Commissioner j.
H. yesterday it will be hereafter the
policy of the state to sell and not lease
the public lands belonging to it. He
says that the leasing of such lands
has actually worked a disadvantage to
the state. Persons who secure these
lands at low rentals, says he, i'm
prove them so as to bar out other bid
ders and when the land is sold it goes
for less than would have been the
case had it been unimproved.
The next sale of land according to
the new law will be held September Z,
in several counties. Under the new law
circular for free distribution has
been issued describing all the lands to
be sold and copies of this may be OBJ
tanned at any county auditors office or
at the state land office.

To be sure if they were that may be
no reason for laying the responsibility
of their unlawful and malicious ac-
tions on the shoulders of organized
labor, but it certainly is cause OF
regret with every citizen. and partic-
ularly with the members of organized
labor. that one of their members was
responsible for the murder OF 1dahos

denim organized labor simply because
zone of their number gets into trouble.
Nearly every criminal is member OF

low that the particular organization of
which he is a member is responsible
for his individual acts.
However, if labor organizations or

censure from the initiated as well as
the patriotic initiated.

When the parties responsible for the

bone of the country and his welfare
should be the nations first care, but
njudicious agitation and demonstra-
ton calculated to appeal to the pas

a tendency to prolong strife between
capital and labor and drive the con-
tending factions farther from an ami
cable settlement of the issues that are
presented.
