WATERFORD QUITS
Refuses to Play Yale for Cham pionship of lntercolle-
 giates,
COMMITTEE IS TO DECIDE
Final Game of Season With All- Southern Team Here This
 Afternoon.

Tho management of the Yale soccer team after an extensive lelay has been notified by the lTaverfosd man agoment that that team will not play the Yale team for tho championship, and for the Mines cup. The reason given is that the faculty will not allow a match so late in the year md that the team Is out of training
 This Is very wise on the part of Tayerford as the team still has fighting chance of landing the Milnes cup at the hands of the committee in charge of the award. liaverford s past record in soccer makes 1t pre- eminent among the teams of the coun- try and 1t Is thought that this will in- flueenee the committee In making the award. There is still some hope that Yale will get the cup as Yale defeated Haverford and should by rights land 1t, though tied for the league leader ship.
 Tho reason given that the Haver- ford team Is out of training is a very nlmsy one The Yale team mas never been in training and 1t is doubtful if | any strenuous kind of diet has ever been adopted by any other college soccer team. should the committee by any chance award the cup to Yale l IHnvcrford will still not have ever lost the championship.
 The soccer football game at Yale l field this afternoon, between Tale and the All Southern eleven for the east- ern championship should Do inc means of drawing together the largest crowd that has ever turned out in this city to witness a game at association foot ball Considering the hard road that ! Captain Wick and his men have had Co travel over and tho fact that they have closed tho season at the top of the league, ought to be sufficient grounds for the students turning ont in large numbers at tho Held this afternoon. Yale will play her cham pinnship team and the All Southern eleven win he composed of the pick of tho players from other colleges Those who have never witnessed the game of soccer will do well to visit Yale field this afternoon and sec the game.

JOHN SEMON WINS
Woodbridge Ice Company Must Pay Him $687 on Coun-
 ter Claim.
ATTY GO0DRART'S SUCCESS
Defendant Company Proves it Paid More Than 1t Necdcd--Ap-
 peal Coming.

Vest rday was a good one for Attor- ney Jacob Goodhart, who has acted as counsel for John semon in the suit brought against his ice cream company by the Woodbridge Ice company for alleged breach of contract The Jury in the ease which has continued for week or more in the civil superior court yesterday brought in a verdict for the defendant at about o'clock yesterday afternoon after hours of de- liberation. But not only was the yer diet for the defendant but damages were allowed the Ice cream company on counter charges which had been brought during the course of the trial. The amount of damages allowed MT, Semon against tho lee company by tho jury were S6S7.1S When seen last even- ins Attorney Fitzgerald who with At torney Arvne appeared for the plain tiff company. said that the verdict would undoubtedly be appealed from Notice of appeal will be filed immedi- ately Associated in the case with At torney Goodh1rt for the defense was Judge Tyncr of the city court.
 The suit as it developed largely cen- | tered about the question of the terms of the contract It was claimed by the fee company that it dld not have any contract with the fee cream company as to price except as 1t chose to fix the price from time to time The allegation Of the ice cream company which seems to have prevailed with the Jury was that a contract was made with the ice company about the first of February of last year to get ice at the rate of s2 a ton. This price was put up suc- cessIyely on April to Si q ton and on August to S5 Q ton and finally on September to SC ton. During the lat ter part of this period the ice was of q very poor character, the defendan; company asserted. Many times it was filthy even mixed with manure. II was in small pieces, which resulted in ils melting much sooner.
 Up to the end of August Mir. Semor paid the Ice company, he said. about 5000 for ice, which he claimed was more th5n the company deserved at the s2 rate under the terms of the contract to say nothing of thelr being entitled tC more in addition. Not only had he over. paid but the Ice was poor and hard tt handle.
 The case has been an interesting on' and there has been an interesting group of lawyers and others fin th' courtroom every day to listen to thu testimony and the arguments Mir. Fitz gerald says 1t Is not over vet.

A few days ago he notified the

r HAT the theory advocated by DR.
Osler, the distinguished scientist.
who, while a member Of the faculty Of
Johns Hopkins university, declared
that mans usefulness is at an end
after passing life sixtieth milestone, Is
q theory that will not stand the test Of
application to everyday life, is the
firm belief Of the vast majority of peo-
pie who have passed that age and con-
tinue to lead decidedly useful lives
and to take as keen an interest In az
fairs as many younger members Of
society. Not only this, but they give
the Osler theory a solar plexus punch
by achievements accomplished after
passing the allotted three-score years
and ten. ~
One Of the most notable examples
that interest in life does not cease at
the age of 60 is to be found In Mrs.

90, is still a most cheerful and ef-
ficient employee of the government
