ton OF the musical comedy that made a
hit here last year There have been prac-
tically no changes in the personnel Of the
company since last year, and instead of
deteriorating as most plays Of this char

and amusing than ever before. Patsy in
Politics Is a compound from the pen of
George Totten Smith in two acts, and is
illustrated by the prettiest collection Of
chorus girls offered here in many days.
Billy B. Van is a whole show in himself.

fact that this has been the most memor-
able year in the history of the collegiate
game, and henceforth those teams con-
shutting the big Five"-Yale, Harvard,

who, heretofore. they have been prone tc

has arisen In HE might and asserted him

sting Of defeat and their ignominy knows
no bosuds.
IN years gone by, affairs football, were
dominated by three Universities. Yale,
Harvard and Princeton, although in real
fty, Princeton was taken In through the
kindly agencies Of Yale. The annual
game between Yale and Harvard was
looked upon as the one contest OF impor-
lance Of the season. With the admission
of Princeton to the charmed circle an
other game was added to the seasons
schedule, but it was not long before John
Harvard arose In his boots and decreed
that 1t was beneath his dignity to battle
with the Orange and Black gladlators and
In consequence, Yale was compelled to an
nually engage in two gruelling contests,
one each with Harvard and Princeton.
while Harvard had only to reckon with
Yale, thereby concentrating all her energy
and reserve forces on this contest.
Not SO many years ago Harvard con-
scented to take mp The University OF
Pennsylvania ard after several struggles,
In which John Harvard suffered several
severe drubbings, relations were broken

for some reason the Tigers, too, discon-
s!nued their football relations with the
Qaakers and this left matters much as
they were before, with Yale, Harvard and
Princeton debating terms to all the lesser
lights who annually sought games with
them. ~
