 Slightly before this Marina had been sitting on the long veranda of the Corsican farmhouse. the lighted lamps placing some tnges of ruby in her dark brown hair and giving color to the light costume that enhances her loveliness.
 Quietly entering from the house, Cipr;ano Danella. costumed in the old time romantic Corsican garb, gazes upon the exquisite girl outlined by the light costume.
 The eagerness of his glance draws Mrs. Anstruthers eyes 10 him. She looks up and says: An.

 "Oh yes, to Bastia," murmurs the count softly, and stepping nearer, says suavely, though there is a weird sug- 2esuon in his voice that somewhat dis quiets the lady; We are alone here fin my old farmhouse, only old Martha, the cook, who, far away, will snore till dawn, and my nephew, Count Enrico. %

 "Parbleu. you did once, the gentle man with the scar upon his face the one who delivered the letter that caused your nerves to jump in the Marseilles railroad station, Even now his name seems to have an i'll effect upon you for Marina has started up and the iuttering of her light skirts shows her limbs are trembling.

 "Ah, but you intended to return to them, bella mia" smiles the gentle man
 The young wife scarcely needs the fnsinuation of the subtle Italian term, but stammers confused: Why do you think that?"
 Ma foi. you were journeying to Bas. tia to meet your husband, lured there by telegram directed to be sent to you from that place." whispers the scouat significantly.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
READY FOR BUCKNELL

The invasion of the south by the north
that will be the treat in store for the
lovers of foot ball when Bucknell tackles
the powerful George Washington eleven
at American League Park, Thanksgiv-
ing day at $50 o'clock pm. This great
battle will afford the public an opportunity
to see just how favorably foot ball as
taught by Coach Nielsen compares with
the game that has been instilled into the
sturdy Pennsylvania lads. and the only
chance to see a northern college in action
in Washington this season. Public inter-
est in the Hatchetite eleven has been in
creasing as the season has progressed
Discounted and ScOrned by the doubterS
in the early battles, Coach Nielsen and
his men have kept plugging away. deVel-
oping speed and team work until they
have forced the critics to acknowledge
that Washington has the greatest foot
ball team seen here in many years. Call
ed to the test both at home and abroad.
the sturdy Hatchetites have never failed
to bring honor and glory to the school
and city which they represent and there
is every assurance that they will live up
to their enviable reputation on Thanks
giving day.
Despite the weight and reputation of
Bucknell, who will bring with them the
mighty Shoop, considered one OF the
greatest halfbackS in the United States,
there is a prevailing confidence that the
northernerS will run into one Of the hard
est propositions in their experience when
the Whirlwind attacks of the South Allan
tic champions hit them.
Hard scrimmage work has been in order
at American League Park in preparing
for the big battle next Thursday and il
steady work counts for anything the
Hatchetites should be in the pink of con
dition when the whistle blows for the
kickoff on Turkey day. 1t is very likely
that Jacobsen will play right tackle, dis
placing Capt. Sommers, who will be shift
ed to right end. The tip is out 10 keep
your eye on Jacobsen when he cuts loose
With this exception the lineup of the
HatchetiteS will be the same in the
Washington and Lee game. II VIII DE
welcome news to learn that Hanback,
Crafts has almost entirely recovered from
his recent injury and is sure To be in the
game Thank Sgiving day.

SOPHS UPSET FRESHMEN.
Second-Year Men at Georgetown
Win in Foot Ball Game.

Sss-s-bOom! How often it was heard
around the big gray buildings that crown
Georgetown Heights after the game yes
terday between the foot ball elevens rep
resenting the college classes of 1911 and
1912! For the second time the Sophs tri-
umphed over the Freshmen in a battle
for supremacy in athletics. No wonder
they feel SO good about it, for their vic
tory came only after the hardest kind
of fight.
Amid yells and cheers the two teams
on the varsity gridiron. The men were
clad in uniforms of divers patterns. Some
swelled forth in tight-fitting jerseys and
tighter pants. while others We're swim
ming in union suits belonging to men
of twice the wearers weight. But clothes
didn't count-it was scrap that they
wanted. and scrap they got.
The first half was a battle royal Up
and down the field the two teams moved
Fumbles here and there would make
things exciting at some stages, while at
other times some one of the gladiators
would bring forth applause from the null
titude on account of brilliant end rum

had made.
he should have been there, for the
game was presented in way entirely
different from that which even the most
rabid advocates of originality could hope
to devise. And fun-why there was
enough fun floating in the air to cause
even grind to laugh.
Then the second half was a repetition

Rumor had it last week that William
Roper, Princeton'S head coach. was
coaching at Harvard, but such was not
the case. Roper was in Tennessee, not
Cambridge. The Yale News last Satur-
day contained the following paragraph:
1T is with satisfaction that We have
ample authority for the statement that
w. w. Roper. 1902, head coach of he
Princeton foot ball team has not acted
as coach to the Harvard eleven during
the past week, as has been commonly
rumored. Such an action, though quite
insignificant. might have made a breach
in the good feeling existing between Yale
and the other two universities, and by its
denial such an unfortunate possibility is
completely eliminated.

The greatest interest centers around
George Mcbride. as Bobby Wallace is
local lad in the shortstop position. Wal

past season Bobby again acted as leader
with a percentage of .9J1. while Mcbride
was only three points away with .94S
Mcbride led the league in the number of
games played at short, working i'll loo

BUSINESS TACKLES
WESTERN TOMORROW

Business and Western High hook up in
the final game of the high school series
for this season. when they line up for
battle tomorrow afternoon at American
League Park at 2:45. The Stenogra-
piers are more than anxious to break into
the won column by defeating their OPP
ponents in tomorrow's fray. However,
Western has been practicing faithfully
and is confident Of retaining its hold on
second place by coming out victorious.
The boys across the creek will be greatly
strengthened in the back field by the re-
turn of Robson to his old position at
fullback. where he has been putting up an
excellent game on both the defensive and
offensive. Their line. however, is some
what shaken up and weakened owing to
the loss of Watson. who played such
strong game at tackle for his school in
the games in which he participated. 1t is
doubtful If Capt. Obenchain will take
part in the scrimmage, as he received an
ugly fracture in the game against Tech
which is still troubling him. With these
two men out of the fray, Business
ances for victory will be increased con-
slderably AS far as known now, Coach
Palmer will present the same lineup that
has represented Business in it's previous
games, and the two teams will face each
other as follows:

Coaching System a Problem.

NEW HAVEN. November 23.-The Yale
players scattered Saturday night. most of
them going to country places for day
of rest. The team disbanded with BAN
quet at the New Haven House. The cleo
ton of captain will be deferred two weeks
and till then plans for next year cannot
be laid. Ted Coy, fullback. and Steven
Philbin. halfback for two years, will fight
out the captaincy, with chances slightly
favoring Coy. Philbin is son of the
former New York district attorney.
Saturdays defeat makes 1t certain that
there will be big shake-up In the coach
ing system, and many prominent alumni
are urging that Howard Jones. coach at
Syracuse this fall, be secured. Jones'
coaching has been the most successful of
that of any Yale player thus season.
Yale's foot ball receipts will amount to
about $4,000 this fall, the largest items
being S33,OO0 from the game Saturday,
and $4,000 from the Yale-Princeton

The army hospital foot ball team downed
the navy hospital team yesterday after
noon on the arsenal drill grounds by a
score of IS to 0. before a large crowd of
soldiers and sailors. as we'll as many
citizens of this city.
The principal feature of the contest
was the handling of the forward pass by
the army boys, as three of their touch
downs resulted from gains made by this
play. Capt. Hamilton. for the winners,
was the star of the game. Austin, at
quarter, ran his team in fine style.
Both teams were evenly matched in
weight. Hall. Eagle and Milliken, for the

Physical Directors to Say Who

The foot bail season in our high schools,
which will close on Tuesday next, IS COM
ing in for cons .derable discussion among
the admirers and parents of the young
men who aspire for places on the various
eleyens. and the recent request Of Mrs.
Mussey of the board of education Tor IN
formation threon has added material tor
the discussion.
The opinion has been unanimously eX-
pressed that the physical directors of the
hich schools should have more to say as
to the complexion of the elevens than the
coaches who are looking after the drilling
of the boys in the tactics OF the sport.
In other words. the physical directors
should adopt Limit of weight for MEM
bers OF the team.

large number of our people, especially
those of the medical profession and grad

their student days played the game for

was that some radical reforms were need

of the first. OF course. a slight variety
of plays was mixed in just to keep the
spectators alert. and. among other eN-
citing events, Fitzgerald found himself
behind the Freshies' goal line with the
pigskin in his arm. How he got there
no one seems to know. for an instant be-
fore the Freshmen had the ball. But he
got there. and. what is more, he made
another point by kicking goal
After that the game became fiercer still
and for five minutes there were some hot
doings over the question of who should
carry the ball. At this juncture some
one threw another ball into the arena
and then all concerned were satisfied, for
both elevens had a pigskin Upon in
vestigation. however. it was found that
this was not according to Hoyle, and.
since the arguments as to the propriety
of playing the game further became too
animated. the timers decided to cut it
short. Hence the Sophs are the ones
who will play the Seniors next Sunday
for the championship of the college.

course was impossible to state. but the
commissioner took the coin and stated
that he was sure he could get some Papke
money on that wager and that the odds
would develop in that way.
When Papke and Ketchel are compared
it looks as though there is no chance for
the man hailing from Illinois. as his quiet
and easy-going ways in the gymnasium
and his training ring fail to impress one
that he has the necessary qualifications
that go with a fighter to put man of
ketchers calber out for the count. But
one cannot forget that Papke was the
man who laid ketchel low in Los Angeles,
nor the sensation it created.
The betting is still at 10 to Z with Papke
the favorite. and the money On both ends
is coming in quite steadily. The betting
will be brisk from now on, and Judging
from the talk about town it would not
surprise the people to see plenty of
ketchel money in evidence and a better
price offered on the Michiganders end
Even money says that Ketchel will not
be defeated within eighteen rounds.
