BOSTON, Dec. 12-with the echoes OF the
foot ball season still in the ear, the tol-
lowers OF the blue and rimson are cast
ing up the chances of Eli and Harvard Tor
1909. and from this distance even' u can
be seen that the outlook is very promising
for a good team in each varsity, Harvard
loses more men than Yale, but there are
substitutes for all the places except, pos
siblv. in the middle of the line, which can
easily be filled.
Yale will lose Burch. end; Brides. tackle;
Biddle, center, and Wheaton. halfback.
Those left to form the nucleus of a good
team are the star guards, Andrus and
Goebel; Hobbs, tackle; Logan, a clever
end; Corey. a promising y%oungster, and
johnson, duarterbacks; Philbin, haltback'
and the reliable Coy. the new captain, for
fullback.
Then there are Lilley. tackle; Haines,
end; Cooney, center; Field and Daily, backs,
and Fitzpatrick and Maedelo, the two ends
who we're incapacitated this season by in
juries. Altogether this is a good showing.
But there may also be added Vaughan and
Savage. the freshmen ends; Loree, a 30
pound center; Merritt and Howe, quarter
backs, and Messenger, fullback.
Looking over the Harvard list of who

back; Kennard, fullback, and wilmington,

some varsity teams, but, barring the guard.

In the first place, there is Dunlap, an
understudy OF Burr. who has shown ability

pected to improve upon their already good
showing. while Hadden. substitute center,

ends; FISH and, Mckay, a clever pair of
tackles, and Corbett, the star back. will be
among the others to be back on the job,
so that Harvard should not worry particu-

from which to recruit for the vacancies. 3

PRIVATE POLICEMEN
TO RID CITY OF CRIME
Three Thousand ''vigilants'
Proposed in Paris.

Paris, Dec. I'm. Clemenceau is
considering a proposal to establish a
new body of semi-private police, to be
called the. ''Vigiles Parisiannes."
BY this project the men would take
the same oath as the rest of the force
and would be under the control of the
prefecture. but would be paid by an
annual subscription from the inhabi-
tants of the quarters they patroled.
They would be given special uni
form and thoroughly well armed by
the prefecture, and their duty would
be to watch over the security of the
houses on their beat, as well as to
give their aid when required by the
public.
The aft project suggests the en-
rolment of 5000 of these "vigilants, y
one-third Of whom would be on bicy.
cles. The principal difficulty the
scheme may have to encounter will
be as to whether the subscription is
to be voluntary or in the nature Of a
small tax

1.-THE Devil"

In order TO be absolutely accurate
in every detail of the production Of
Franz Molnar's comedy, THE Devil"
Henry w. Savage, who holds the sole
authorized version of the piece. en-
gagged the services Of general stage
director of Herr julius Herzka, direc-
tor-general of the Volks theater, Wen
ma. Herr Herzka is a personal friend
of many years standing of the auth
or, and also made the translation of
the play from the original Hungarian
into the German. It was at Herr
Herzka's theater In Vienna that the
first presentation of 'The Devil was
made, outside of the authors own
Hungary. The play deals with an evil
that is known to society generally. the
main character being personified by
figure that suggests rather than
actually resembles what we are led
by tradition to believe to be that sour
ilous person, THE Devil" This SYM
bolic character is the predominating
and predominant figure throughout a
brilliant comedy that holds its audi
ences breathless until the final cur
tain. The play will be presented here
at the Gennett theater soon. Henry
E. Dixey will be seen in the leading
role, with all the elaborate detail that
marked the production Of the Molnar
comedy at the Garden theater. New
York.
