THAT TAX INCREASE.

That the tax rate of the city should
:is iaayesssassl this TINS IS q mater
of genuine regret with the Herald.
And we say this much without preju-
dice or without questioning the mo-
tives of the commissioners or the ne
cessity of the increase. In fact, we
are inclined to believe the increase
was deemed necessary by those best
in position to know. But aside from
this we regret the move at this time,
because the people had been assured
time and again that the various
changes, bond issues, ETC., supported
fully by this paper, would not incur
any increase in the tax rate. The
Herald accepted these promises and
assurances in good faith and advocat-
ed them in good faith. The outcome
is in contradiction to the fine prom
Uses made to us and by us to the
public and readers of this paper. For
that reason the Herald is not very
friendly to the increase at this par
ticular time. The people Of the city
were only a few weeks ago persuaded
to vote for a bond issue on the posi-
tive promise that 10 INCREASE of taxes
would be necessary. But before the
bonds have been issued the increase
has come, not for this purpose, per-
haps, but an increase just the same.
AS stated in the beginning of this
protest, this paper is not in a position
to pass on the merits of the need for

SANLL CARS TINE

They Are Doing Vanderbilt
Course in Mile a Minute,
So Watch Big Ones.

With the Vanderbilt Cup race only six
days away, and over a score Of cars
and drivers or the course, the final
days Of early morning practice work
should be well worth seeing.
That Saturdays race win prove a
record breaker Is shown by the times
the cars have made under unfavOrable

the 1264-mile circuit at better than six

cars, no one seems TO know as yet just
what they will do, as their drivers are
holding them I'm cheek.
This morning the technical committee
viii open up headquarters at Monks

den City, for the purpose Of making
an examination Of such cars as are
ready. and the drivers and managers
of racing cars are requested to inn
mediately notify A. /. McAIurty, the

Coaches Are Worried by
Lack of Action Against
Minor ElevenS.
YALE AND HARVARD
ARE FAR ADVANCED
Eli Has Speedy and Varied Offense,
And Crimson Defense
Is Strong.

NEW YORK. Oct. 23.-In two Of the
~Big Four football camps this week
strenuous programs have been laid out
that are intended either TO make or
break the varsity teams. The camps are
Princeton and Pennsylvania.
Princeton's defeat by Lafayette Sat
uTday TO 0, and Pennsylvania Sc tie
game with Penn State to 8, has con
WINGED the coaches that these teams
must be driven as never before for the
remaining half OF the season. Strange
as it may seem, today's reports from
Princeton are that the coaches are fair
~ wen'' satisfied with every feature Of
Saturdays game, except the score.
The Tiger team showed a vast i'm
pTovement in this game ana only lost
through an unfortunate play in the last
minute Of play. The great need Of
Princeton. it was clearly shown. is more
ginger and stamina. All the big gains
made BY Pinceton were nullihed by
the simple fact that when the team
reached the crucial point in every
march it started for Lafayette's goal. its
attack weakened. This was due both 10
a lack Of speed and stamina
Princeton Lacks Versatility.
IN the matter of new football Prince
ton demonstrated that she has so far
failed 70 pay much attention TO It. The
least bit Of versatility should have won
Cor the Tigers. as Lafayette was hope
less against Princeton's strong defense.
The problem of the coaches from now
on viii be to make Princeton play
throughout an entire game as she played
in spots against lafayette.
Pennsylvania found the state team on
edge and as the Red and Blue had an
Off-day, she is actually cOngratulattng
herself that the game resulted in a tie,
rather than a defeat.
Yale and Harvard again proved that
they are far in advance Of all other
teams-an advance that is so marked
that II seems unlikely that any Of their
rivals viii be able TO catch up. Yale
IS developing the speediest and most
varied Offense ever seen at New Haven,
while the line Is meeting every rquire-
ment on the defense. BY holding Brown
three times when score seemed immi-
nent, Harvard has set al rest all fears
as 10 the Crimson defense.
Crimson Fears Coy.
II is admitted at Cambridge, however,
that It will never 60 to let Yale come
as near the Harvard goal as Brown
did, as Coy viii surely turn such an ad-
vantage into a touchdown. II is eX-
peeted that Harvard's cripples, with the
possible exception Of West, viii be back
this week, and the work Of putting on
the finishing touches begun.
None OF the big teams have q hard
game this week, although West Point
may be expected 70 give Harvard a good
fight This should give the coaches a
chance 70 stick TO whatever theories
they may De working on without the
chance Of reverses.
A better feeling prevails at Cornell
by reason OF the decisive victory over
Vermont, and there is again hope Of
breaking the long line OF defeats sus-
tained at the hands OF Pennsylvania, in
the Ithaeans' biggest game Of the year.

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. 25.-The poor start

Anderson, and g q Wright as good
substitutes. King has done particularly
good work in getting down the field on
kicks, but he is not certain in nail

is OF a high order. and he is expected
to develop into notable player
Quarter and Ends.
Undoubtedly, the most serious prob
lens of the coaches are the ends and
quarterback. Navy has a first class
end in ReifsGider. but he has been kept
out of the play by injuries, and il is a
question whether he will be back again
for a week or two. Cobb is a fairly
good man and is improving greatly, but
it is difficult TO name another with even
moderate qualifications for the position.
Vain, Carey, and Elmer have all been
tried, but have not given satisfaction
Battle has been regarded as first
injury, but bis work was not good in
the Virginia game He ran the team
slowly and could not do much as a
ground gamer himself or help another
with the ball Byrd also played part
of the game, but he does not shine as
an individual player, though he plays
carefully and handles the team with
judgment. Shaw. who was quarterback
Of the fourth class team last season,
has been brought out, and may be. given
chance.
Dalton Valuable Man
One of the most encouraging incl
dents of the season is the splendid work
of Dalton. He is a fast and heavy
back and. individually. is the star Of
the team. He has made two yards this
season to any other Navy players one
In straight rushing. and is punting
