| ROPER MEETS HARVARD MEN
Prospect of Princeton Playing
Crimson Is Considered.

wards graduate manager of athletics, and
Mike Farley. Harvard's old end rush, the
teams coach in 1902 and now a member of
Harvard's football advisory hoard. spent
several hours together this afternoon In this
city discussing the proposition of a football
game next fall between the Harvard and
Princeton elsvens.
To-day's conference. so far as can be
learned did not result in an agreement be-
tween the Harvard and Princeton men to
have their football teams meet on the grid
iron next fall, but the fact that there was
a conference and that several dates for
game were taken under advisement, indl-
Gates that the chances for the teams TO get
together next season are very good Wh1ie
the men who met to-day apparently were
in favor of game, the question was iett
in allowance until the return of Haushton,
the Harvard coach, who is expected nome
rom Europe early this week

me question of Harvard's dropping Dart
mouth from it's schedule next fall is not an
issue in the negotiations between Harvard
and Princeton. It has not been decided
that Harvard could not meet both teams

ward and Dartmouth for that matter. RIr
in Harvsrd's case. if both teams are not
on the schedule next fall, II looks very much

That Nanadium steel is destined to be-
come the standard automobile materia |
is being conceded more and more each
day henry Ford, the first of the auto
mobile men to adopt it, and the only
manufacturer who is using it entirely in
his product has been watching the ex-
periments Of the Navy Department with
much interest. Mr.. Ford said recently:
My claims for Vanadium are being
proven by the navy experts 1t is the
intention of the navy men to use Vana-
dunn in the manufacture of the steel work
in the makeup of a warship, including
the great guns. By the use of Nanadium
the weight of the vessel will be greatly
reduced, thereby increasing the speed
without the loss of fighting efficiency.
Another advantage Of the newly adopted
material Is that it will prevent erosion of
the big guns. which is now a problem
before the Bureau of Ordnance.
