McClung's. Now there is added the new one, could Ted Coy's beat either or both. The same quality that made
 McClung's team of the old days so great made the team of 1909 strong and that was poise, individual self-reliance. and that, too, a self-reliance hased
 upon knowledge. In that respect Coy's team, taking al it's component parts with the substitutes included. was
 ahead of the team of Lee McClung-
 That aggregation of McClung's knew
 all that was necessary for them to
 know, but this team had to know more on account of the infinitely greater variety of rules To think of strings being pulled for this team by the coaches from the side lines in this big game Is indeed ridiculous That is not the way Yale makes her eleyens and win or lose, she stands to it. and Coy and Howe demonstrat- ed this.
 ''This team in that game could have coached its coachers. and they went to work just as all Yale teams do, de- pending upon the quarter and captain: Harvard has been playing a mighty
 good game of, football, and the Yale team knew it. Harvard had certain
 marked weaknesses which had been
 printed in every newspaper and 1t
 did not take any clairvoyance on the
 part of Yale to know these weaknesses
 Harvard had certain strength. which Yale knew equally we'll Yale also was under the impression that Har-
 yard knew even more about Yale than Yale did4 about Hayward.

FOOTBALL SCANDAL
 IN MICHIGAN TEAM
uAPrAIN REPUDIATED. AND HIS
 LETTER RECALLED.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Dec. 24--Puohc ussrace for Joy Miller, captain-elect if the Michigan football eleven, ana which completely blots out all of htchiRan's successes in the recent football season. are the result or startling disclosures made yesterday by the Michigan board in control or athletics According to puDhc statement made by the board Miller was at no time during the iootoali season a bona ide student of the University, and although he played against Marquette. Syracuse. Notre Dame and Minnesota and Pennsyi- yania he was ineligible for compet- ton under Michigan's rules
 The discovery was made only re- cently and as soon as the 1nvestga- ton had been completed the boar a in control took drastic action II LOOK the "M' away from Miller. repuolas- ed his election to the captaincy. made formal apology to the different col leges against whom Miller played ana recommended to the faculty or the engineerfng department that the oI- fender be disciplined
 Inasmuch as Miller is not now at tending the university, although nom inally enrolled. it is improbable that any punishment will be meted out-al- though there Is little probability that the university faculty will ever con- sent to his re-entering school
 Naturally we feel keenly the posi- ton in which we have been pIaced, said Prof Patterson of the board in control last night. but the error was A natural one, especially since Miller swore to e statement required Of all athletes that he was a bona hde stu dent in the university, carrying 1uli work. As we had a report from the engineering department that his work for the previous semister was all right it was taken for granted that he was swearing to the truth"

TrOts Ills Cow to
 Town to be Sh0d

Winsted. Dec. 24.-''My lad, I've been in the business nigh onto fifteen years but I never shod a COW nor did I ever hear of one being shod," calculated Marshall Case. the village blacksmith Tn Barkhamsted yesterday. when Ru- pert Stevens, ten-year old son of Fred Stevens, of Hartland. led Ruth a pret- ty four-year old COW, into his smithy after unhitching the animal. He told the smith he wanted shoes with calks put on all Ruth's hoofs.
 RU<h was buckled into a frame and shod on all fours. ''She isn't half as bad to shoe as an OK, is,' commented Case, when the job was over.
 Then Rupert hitched Ruth into the cutter again and drove back home. The boy was five hours making the round trip. a distance of sixteen miles. and getting the shoeing done. The boys mother said that Rupert began breaking the COW when she was a calf and that he had leased his father for two years to have her shod because she slipped badly when the roads were icy. \
 Ruth is thoroughly broken. can be driven attached to carriage, sulky, sleigh or sled, and is as gentle as a kitten.

HOW SIMMONS LANDED
 WITH DETROIT TIGERS.
Home Run Drive That Broke Up Game Brought Him Into Notice

If George Simmons. the former New Haven second baseman, makes good as big leaguer next season as a third-sacker with the Detroit Fig CTS, he will have Jack Kelley. the Tiger left fielder, to thank for paving the way to his success. A home run drive by Simmons, which broke up the final game of the last Tiger Bronco series played at Rochester last season, created such a favorable impression upon Jack that he decid- ed to write to Jennings and tip him of to the hard-hitting qualities of the Rochester third baseman. Jen- nings and Kelley were close friends when both were. connected with the Baltimore club. Hughie, acting on Kelly's advice. drafted Simmons Sim mons came to Rochester from Me G-aw, after he had been given a trial with the Giants on their spring train ing trip, but for some unknown req son McGraw let him go without a string on him.

SIDE-LINE COACHING
 RIDICULOUS, SAYS CAMP
COTS TEAM COULD GIVE POINTS TO ITS WOULD BE ADVISERS.

New Haven, Dec. 24.-walter Camp. Yale's football guide and athletic di- rector, discusses in the Yale Alumni Weekly how Ted Coy's eleven was de- veloped and brings up the question whether Coy's winning team could beat Lee McClung's and Gordon Browns famous elevens. He ridicules the idea set up in some quarters that the Yale eleven might have been coach ed from the side lines, claiming that 1t could have coached it's coachers. Part of his statement follows:
 ITO the old question that. has fur nished food for many a winter nights football discussion there has been ad- ded a new one. Formerly it was, could Gordon Browns eleven beat Lee

HIS CONSCIENCE sMoTE HIM.
Hans Rasmussen Returns Stolen CRU
cifix, but ParafIin Betrays Him.

The fear of God struck the heart
of Hans Rasmussen after he had
stolen a cross and several candlesticks
from the altar of st. Mary's cathedral.
early Sunday morning, and the further
he fled, the deeper burned the cruclflX
which he had hidden next to the bare
flesh of his breast. His conscience
lashed him about the snow-driftcd
streets. and though he had stolen the
things because he was starving, his
soul conquered his stomach, and the
pangS of repentance oyercame the
gnawing hunger. Finally he turned
and ran like madman back to the
cathedral He put back the stolen
articles in their sacred places, and
the shadow of the cross which had
crushed him like a mighty burden
was lifted from his shoulders.
But In taking the candlestlcks, Ras-
mussen had rubbed the parrafin from
the sides on to his coat sleeves. He did
not notice this. so agitated was he.
but Sergeant Roberts, who was search
ing for the robber who had stolen
the cross. did. Rasmussen was, ar
rested just few minutes after he
had returned the cross and candle
sticks to the altar. and while he was
