From Tuesdays Daily.
The superiority of the Mound
City Rowing clubs junior barge
crew was evidenced this morning,
when the yellow and black oars
men won this event by over
boat length from the Central
Rowing club crew. The South
Side Quincy club finished third
and the North Side Quincy brought
up the rear. Crew No. Of the
North Side club did not compete.
The race was more hotly con-
tested between the st. Louis
crews than yesterday and was
considered by many better race,
due to the fact that all four
crews were punched all the way
down the course. The time was
2:24 3-5.

Harvard's smashing offense outweighed

well played game today, which gave the
Crimson a victory by score. of IL TO 3
After sparring for points and endeavorinG
to locate each others weakness in the
first half. both sides settled down in the
second period and Harvard twice drove
over all obstacles to the Dartmouth goal
line. A Dartmouth blank seemed inev-
liable, but the wearers of the green car
ried off one of their numerous successful
onside kicks in the three last minutes of
the game. and standing on Harvard's %
yard line, Capt. Tobin made beautiful
goal from placement. Throughout the
contest Harvard, without showing much
more than straight football, made steady
gains through the Dartmouth line.
The first half was practically punting

Two Men Injured.
Yale came out Of the battle practically
unscathed. except for injuries TO DAILY
and Vaughan, which may possibly keep
them out of the Harvard game.
There have been few foot ball games
between such prominent eleyens as Yale
and Princeton when the one side was go
much on the defensive as the Tigers were
today.
BY the same token the other side was
on the offensive most OF the time. Yale
had the ball such a big proportion or the
seventy minutes Of actual playing that
the Tigers scarcely had a chance to learn
how 1t felt to the touch. When the lat

hope left for Princeton at that time was
to score by drop kick.
Yale not only made enough points OF
her own clearly to establish her eupe-
| riority and a safe lead, but was emf
nently successful in keeping the Tigers
back. so that the latter had precious lit
tie chance to score by a field goal. The
visitors were in their own territory all

Entitled to Victory.
The better team not only won. but was
entitled TO all OF it's seventeen points as
a measure OF it's superiority over the
Tigers
But for penalties inflicted on Yale for
holding and being offside the Blue would
have had at least five more points.
A fault with Yale's attacks was that it
did not go as regularly as IL should have.
1t was tremendously strong at times, the
runner getting help that there was no
stopping, but on the next rush there was
a chance that the advance would be
stopped dead.
Princeton had a sturdy defense. and
some of the wise folks figured that Yale
was not showing the Harvard scouts
any more than she had to. Be that az it
may. the concerted action and drive was
not as sustained as Harvard had produced
this season.
A big advantage Yale had over Prince
ton was in punting. Coy outpunted Mo
Cormick, who die most of Princetons
booting. and also Read. Coy gained on
punts right along, and, in addition, the
Yale hacks were far and away better
than Princetons in running hack punts.
That was another means that enabled
Yale to keep the play in Princeton's ter
ritory. Yale had fine interference for men
running hack punts, while the Princeton
runner was dOwned in his tracks nearly
every time by the Yale ends or tackles.
He did not get a start often to see what
kind of interference he would get.

AGED SPINSTER HELD
FOR MURDER OF NIECE
Many Suspicious Features in COnnec-
ton With Death of Mrs. 0cey
W. N. Snead.

New York, Dec. Virginia Wardlaw,
a gray-haired spinster was arraigned at
East Orange, n. J., today charged with
the murder of her young niece, Mrs. OCey
W n. Snead, whose body was found in
a bathtub in a deserted house in East
Orange Monday.
Death, according to the coroner, was
due to drowning in less than a foot of
water. In view of many features of the
CdSe-the young woman S detention i'm de-
serted houses while having a $4,000 in
surance policy on her life, the fact that
she owned property in Brooklyn worth
$16,000 and her apparent helplessness for
mOnths-Miss Wardlaw was held without
bail. Two other women, said to have
been associated with the victim, are un-
der surveillance.
The police theory is that Mrs. snead
had been in a helpless condition for
months, unable to direct her own affairs.
and was at the mercy of whoever acted
as her guardian.
A will has been discovered, said to have
been signed by the victim which gives
$500 to an infant son, and bequeaths the
rest of the estate to Mrs. Snead's grand
mother, Martha Eliza WardlaW
The son was born last August, but was
taken from its mother and presumably
placed in an institution.
