Coffroth to New York is believed to be
the expected arrival of James J. JEFF

League team for Catcher Lou Crlger.
Pepper as Jimmy has been nick

that the trade will be about even for

: HOT OFF THE GRIDIRON.

Cornell was the first Of the ~so-called
big five" to be beaten this season. The
wearers of the Red and White were
fearful of the speedy Fordham eleven,
but they hardly expected to be beaten.>
Coy's presence in the lineup of the
Ell eleven during the second half of the
army game had It's effect on the playing
of the New Haven team. He did not
attempt to carry the ball, but he made
enc grand punt for fifty-three yards,
the pigskin rolling twenty more before
1t vas picked up.
A new star Is looming up on the Grim
son horizon Frothingham's brilliant
playing in the Harvard-Maine game
was the sensation of the game. Time
and time again he ripped the visitors
line for IN opening, always for big
gains.
In 1905 the Yale team, then c~aptained
by Shevlin, defeated the army by the
same score as Coy's team did Saturday
Ito.
Reed, Lawson and Hart did some good
effective work for the Orange and Black
in Saturdays game.
Wigglesworth is giving O~'Flaherty a
hard run for the Harvard quarterback
position. Their style of play is always
entirely different, though both are
capable men.
Electric lights are being used on the
field at Indiana and the team Is being

Princeton will lose a lot of money,

games are scheduled to take place away
from the home grounds.
Coach Vest. he of hurry up face,
says that he will not nave a man weigh

of the opinion that the bulky men only
impede the speed of an eleven, counter
balancing their worth on the offensive.

the town assured him that they
would obey the law, but instead
the sheriff's men aided in the
lynching. Now the governor de-
clares that there will be no more
lynchings while he is governor if
the military in the state are able
to prevent it and uphold the law
Even more refreshing is Governor
Noel's instructions to the state
troops. They are directed to shoot
if necessary, TO protect a prisoner
from mob and to regard any
person attacking a Jail as an enc
my to the state. The South has
eeded governors of firmness and

That the grave situation now
confronting the struggling Repub-
lie of Liberia, which appears to be
in a tottering condition, is giving
much concern to the government OF
the United States, is evident from
the fact that the State Department
is now contemplating sending a
war vessel there for the purpose of
giving moral aid to the inhabitants
of Liberia and also for the protec-
tion of American interests. 1t is
seriously felt that the civilization
of this African Republic is threat
ened by the encroachment of a
large invasion of savage natives
and by the land grabbing policies
of European nations. OF the large
number of American Negroes who
left the United States and who
fprmed the foundation of its civil
ization, there are now only about
10000 left, a number which seems
to be almost swallowed up in the
hordes of native savages surround
ing them. In connection with this
situation the plan of the President
of the United States to send a com
mission to Liberia for the purpose
of studying the conditions there
and advising this government of
the necessary steps to be taken to
preserve its existence is commend
able and shows the friendly atti-
tude still existing on the part of
this government towards Liberia
and her people. 1t is the consen-
sus of opinion that Congress will,
at very near date, appropriate
the $4,000 estimated to be neces-
sary in defraying the expenses of
the proposed commission.

HOW TO END MOB RULE

Governor Noel of Mississippi
has challenged public attention
and admiration by his denuncia,
ton of mob law and his announce

military forces of the state if
necessary to put an end to mob
law. After two lynching parties
had recured their victims, Cover
nor Noel issued this statement:
l am sorry to say it, but the
time has come in Mississippi
when there will have to be an
armed clash between the mill
tary and the citizens. For the
good of the state, conditions can
not be allowed to continue as they
are, for it will simply resolve it
self into contest of strength be-
tween the mob and the powers OF
the state.
When there was danger of a
lynching at Brookhaven, Governor
Noel was assured by the sheriff
that the prisoner could be protect.
ed without difficulty. The COVER
