Princeton, n. j.. Nov. 12-The gates of Uni

and little could be learned concerning the work
of the football squad. After the rest of yester-
day the team got an unusually stiff practice to-
day. Judging from the statements of the
coaches however. the work of the regulars was
far from satisfactory. All the regulars started
in the scrimmage, but several of them went out
in few minutes, as their work was below par.

stale.

at fubaCk on the scrub team, and ripped things
up in great style After several Of the regulars

five minutes scrimmage during which Gates
ran forty yards for touchdown.
The playing of Gates feature of the

material for the backfeld. He played left half
back IN place OF Captain Douglas. who took a

The football men will be excused from drill
until after the army game. and this will give
the coaches better opportunity of getting
them into condition. Richardson played the

his place. This move, late in the season.

INCREASED COST OF LIVING

With the great development in all
industrial lines throughout the en-
tire world, has come an increased
cost of living, and while there Is at
the present time a reason to suppose
that prices have reached the limit
we may still look for high prices.
People in this country are apt to
run away with the idea that this
condition exists only at home and
that other countries have not expert
enced a like appreciation.
During the past decade the entire
world has witnessed an unusual
progression in all lines Manufac-
turing, mining and agricultural
fieIds have been pushed to their limit
and every portion of the civilized
world has felt the effects OF the
larger increased output and follow
Ing it the increased cost of living.
Some knowledge of this advance
nent in other countries is shown by
the increase in food supplies anC
other lines in Germany from lSst
tOs19O6.
Bread meats, and milk advanced
during this period from 10 to 20 pc
