Virtues Come from Education

naturally as a small boy-uness It IS little girl
From the beginning to the end Of our hte we are
moved by two incentives. the fear of punishment,
and the hope of reward. If a thing doesn pay, It
isn't worth while But don't forget that the great
big rewards come from inside and not outside; IN
a larger understanding, deeper sympathy, a timer
quality, an exultant something away down deep IN

Those old Purltans who created I thanksgiving got
hold of something real and tangible for which they
felt real gratitude Probably 1t was realization OF
their concept of liberty. which was freedom to do
exactly as they wanted to do and full power to com

of liberty most of US cheer for until we are hoarse
OF course 1t ism liberty all. but what the political
orators and earnest editorial writer's nowadays call

The Purltans fought with fanatical zeal for their
privilege that they called liberty though measured
by anv standard but their own It was pretty poor
brand Still It was probably the most useful variety
for their time When they gained their particular
kind of liberty along with measure OF prosperity,
they were overwhelmed with the gorgeousness OF
it. It seemed SO much bigger and inner than they

CREWS ON HARBOR
Ice Prevents the Yale Varsity from Making Any Great
 Roadway.
SQUAD CUT TO FOUR BOATS
Class Crew Captains Will be Elected This Afternoon at the Gym
 nasium.

For the first time this year the Yale crew yesterday afternoon had its prac- tice on the harbor. On previous years the practice has started several weeks before now, but the cold weather kept the men indoors during February, and the work has been entirely in the tank.
 The ice on the harbor still blocked the work of the light shells to such a degree yesterday afternoon that be- fore they had gone very far the boats had to turn back to the crew house. If the present temperature keeps up, however, the regular work there will not be interfered with.
 The cut in the squad has left four crews beside the freshman. During the past few weeks there have been six crews practicing in tho tank and the gradual work of sitting has been done.
 The makeup of the varsity at the harbor yesterday was: Auchincloss, Rice. Graham, Cooley. Miller. Howe, Ide and Griswold. Of these men be- side Captain Ide the following are last year men: Auchincloss, Rice and Howe. Graham rowed on the crew two years ago, but was displaced last year. Griswold Is showing up well and will probably hold his. position.
 This afternoon the work toward forming class crews will be com menced There will he meeting in the trophy room of the gymnasium and captains from each class will be elected.

JOE CANS PICKS BURNS.

Says Joe Cans: "I think Jack John son is the cleverest heavyweight in the world to-day He is as clever as Jim Corbett was in his prime. If Johnson and Burns ever meet in a limited-round boat 1 look to see John son get the chance. But if they ever meet in a finish fight I think Burns will win. Tommy Burns is a better man than the public gives him credit for being. l don't think that even i Tommy himself knows how good he is. Burns, besides being clever. is a rugged fellow. In finish fight he would wear down the other fellow and win out.

TO PLAY BATTERY A.
Clinton Basketball Team Expects
 Hard Game in BranfOrd.

The Clinton basketball team is to play the Battery A quintet of Branford at Pythean hall, Branford, tonight. This will be a very interesting game as both the Clintons and Battery A are fast teams. The Naval Reserves of this city lost game to the Battery A team at Branford. It has always been very difficult for team to go to Branford ana win a game, as the hoor is very slippery. This was the reason the Navals team made such poor showing. The Clintons who have game scheduled with the Navals for March l4, are going to try their best to add this game to their victories. The Clintons have played there before and are somewhat acquainted with the floor. Their game with the Battery A there last year, had to be stopped on account of the rough playing of the members of the teams. This year, how ever, the members will play basketball and it is exp pected that the game will be finished. .
 srhe outcome of this game is very  uncertain, and will be awaited eagerly by the basketball enthusiasts of this city. As the Clintons have a good chance for the amateur championship this game if won, will strengthen their claim greatly.
 A large number will accompany the team to Branford, and will be ready to encourage the players. A dance Is i to be held after the game.
 The lineup for the Cllntons is not yet certain but Capt. Ben Greenbure his informed these players to go' Harry Greenburg, Clancey, Frankel Alderman and Koletsky.
 Battery IA mo doubt, will have theil regular team, for they expect a hard game. They will not be able to play as well here as at their own gym, ant therefore want to make sure of tht game at Branford.

MuLLEN'S DEFENSE GOOD
RoYers Lose to McNIahon's Rough Riders-Proyidence Grays
 Easily Beaten.
NATIONAL LEAGuE sTANn1NG,
GAMES TONIGHT. New Haven at Pawtueket. Waterbury at Springfield.

e Brilliant work by both Pence and Muller featured in the victory of Paw tucket last evening in one of the cleanr est, most scientific and fastest games of the season at le Quinnipac rink. One of the most thrilling finishes of the year marked the game.
 The addition of Paul Gardner at half-back made a decided difference in the defensive an offensive ability of the local five. Bone who in previous games has been forced to play back in- stead of around the opponents goal on account of the weak defense, was able to leave the defense to Farrell, Gard ner and Mullen. Gardner's cool head edness seemed peculiarly strange to the local fans as they have been ac- customed to see Saunders and Woods whack the ball with their stick heed- less of where 1t was going to go or else kick at the ball with their foot in their eXcitedness
 Not the slightest sign of roughness was shown during the game but the ten players concentrated their entire attention to polo. Duggan and Gard ner at time tried to see which could buck the stronger but Duggan knew he stood no chance against the New Ha. ven half1baek and Gardner did not attempt to take advantage of his DO. sition. Cunningham and Duggan play ed pretty passing game and the To- calls had mach trouble in breaking ul the combination.
 Not single goal was made durins the first period. Both teams strivet hard but their efforts were so neal equal that nothing was effected. Null en and Pence were bombarded bu both stood the drives without mur mur. Remarkable defensive work b, Cameron, Mansfield and Gardne marked the work in this initial period
