ney said of n mortgage he recently put on
his house:
ut is true that have obtained loan
OF $500 900 upon a mortgage OF my house
on Fifth avenue and Fifty seventh street.
but the published reports OF the circum-
stances leading to the making of this loan
arc apt 10 create very erroneous I'M

and still have on deposit TO my credit I'm
various banking Institutions cash to the
amount OF moro than twice the sum above

Having occasion TO use 100000 for pur-
noses having no connection whatever with
my fathers estate and believing that at
the present time everyone should do his
mart toward the case q fthe financial sit
uation and restoration OF confidence, ]
have declined TO withdraw any part of
nv moneys from the various banks In
which they were deposited. preferring to
avail myself Of a loan. upon easy terms,
of funds seeking investment upon bond

'The estate OF William G.. Whitney was

Meanwhile the fremen by steady work

TIGERS DRIVEN HARD

Princeton, n. j.. Nov 13.-Behind the
locked gates of University field, the IL
gers are being rushed like the wind, In
spite of their reported poor physical con-
dition. Many weak points cropped out ia
the Amherst game that must be ponshed
off i'm order that Princeton can meet the
play OF the Ellis.
The lack OF fine trim seems TO be in the
fact that the personnel OF the Tigers ha 5
been limited TO certain small number or
men. on whom the bulk OF the work mas
been thrust. The players appear tired
out and Trainer Flood is taking heroic
methods TO brace them by saturday,
when the great and final test comes.
While outsiders have not been admitted
TO practice for several weeks. II is known
on good authority that the Tigers are
worried and the whole camp is on the
Jump. Fears OF staleness are felt, though
Flood says he'will make good his prom
ise to have the men In shape.
There were big doings here yesterday
afternoon, when the varsity lined mp the
scrub for an hours scrimmage. On the
face Of IL IL would seem that. consider
ing the physical condition OF the mrs,
string, such an amount or rough work
would not 20 well. but the coaches think
otherwise They claim that there arc so
many departments to he strengthened
that every available moment from now
on must be utilized TO the best advan-
tage Altogether the work done yester-
dav afternoon was not the kind that
brings Yale victories home.

Wendell, CR|MS0N'S

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. l&-Harvard
football affairs took on a more favorable
aspect yesterday. when 1t was announced
that Jack Wendell. Harvard's best half
back had been reinstated to good stand
ing in his college work and would play in
the Dartmouth game on Saturday. The
practice yesterday afternoon was partly
secret. In this period the individuals came
in for "A long session OF coaching and
some new formations were tried
The open work consisted OF 25 minutes
OF scrimmage against the second team,
which the Varsity won by four touch
downs, two by Wendell and two by
Rand. The work was at times brilliant,
but lacked consistency. .
Two bits OF play stood out. The first
touchdown came as the result OF long
run by Wendell around right end, who
passed the ball to Rand just as he was
being tackled, the latter carrying the ball
20 yards further for a touchdown. The
other was long run, which Wendell made
by breaking through tackle near the side
lines and by fast running and clever
lodging, working his way 45 yards for a
touchdown. Starr was tried out at end
on the second team and made some very
pretty tackles.
