Tim did this, but the report of the game
as it appeared in the Reporter was so
much of puzzle that it created dis
turbance. The principal trouble was
that the members of the faculty failed to
look at the matter in the same light that
Prof Bennett had, and they decided that
future games should be reported in the
former style.

The Lowell Reporter was the college
paper of the university. 1t appeared once
a week. and in it was printed all the
news of the college world and announce
ments of various kinds. The advertising
columns furnished an opportunity for a
couple of young hustlers to earn enough
money soliciting advertisements to keep
theme in school.
The paper was edited entirely by the
Students under the watchful eye of the
faculty, and especially of Prof. Bennett
assistant teacher of English, and OK
many years experience as a newspaper
writer and editor. He also had under
his direct supervision a small class in

Champion Lasker Coming.

Quite the most important event of the
season in chess circles will be the forth
coming visit of Worlds Champion Eman-
uel Lasker to this city. The champion
has written to the chess club announcing
his visit to Washington some time during
April, the exact day to be fixed later.
The entertainment to be given by Las
ker will take the form of the usual stimuli
taneous exhibition. open to all comers at
the customary fee of 81, and it is ex-
pected that about thirty-five of the best
10 al players will take the field against
him.
This will be a severe test even for. Las
ker, although his deadly accuracy at this
form of chess is well known, likewise the
extreme difficulty of getting a game from
him. In order. however, to encourage the
PLAYERS and TO make the occasion still
more interesting the management of the
club has decided to offer prize of SIS to
the first man who scores on the cham
pion. and a further prize of 81 for the
first draw. All chess players in the Dis
trict wishing to take part in this event
are requested to communicate with the
secretary of the Chess Club, 6f4 18th
street northwest, and they are advised to
apply early so there will be no confusion
in assigning boards. The exact date of
the exhibition will be duly announced in
this column.

Timothy Murnine. young Irish iad

city newspaper. and his job OF husthns
for advertisements was the best start he
could have made in that direction IL ne
only knew il.
Besides attending to his studies and
getting most OF the advertisements for
the Reporter, Tim added to his many
duties, by request OF the student body,

events OF the college. This didn't give
him q chance TO indulge in any of the
games himself, but he had wonder

Wilmington withdrew from the varsity
crew last week in order to give his time
to the foot ball squad. This means that
he will not be able to row in the Annap-

The practice during the first week will

Unusual interest was manifested in the
match between Interior and War-Navy,
the two leaders in the a division. 1t
proved to be a most stubborn contest,
only one of the four games being COM
pleted at the first sitting. Board was
contested by Walker (white) and Sournin
(black,, and the play of these two we'll

interested gallery. The District champion
was on this occasion called upon to defend
Walkers queens gambit. and in doing so
adopted a somewhat irregular course,
which. however, proved to be no disad
vantage. Both sides developed rapidly,
neither taking time to castle. In the
course of complicated game 1t was hard
to choose between the rival forces. al
though 1t appeared at one time that Sour
min had a position that promised to yield
a tangible advantage, but Walker fully
evenef up matters later, and after three
hours play the game was adjourned in a
critical end stage. Each side has knight

DR.. Eliot Approves Changes.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. March 2s-Dr
Charles w. Eliot, president (emeritus) OF
Harvard University, who has been one
OF the foremost agftators against the
game of foot ball as it has been played
the past few years during his term of
office, is warm in his approval OF the
suggested changes for the game on the
part Of the foot ball rules committee.
1T is plain to see that these rules are
marked improvements" he said last
night. They ought to make the game of
foot ball toleraby safe. 1 say tolerably
because it is impossible to make foot
ball absolutely safe for the players.
These new rules should make 1t possible
for a man to play foot ball through the
three years allowed in college without
being seriously hurt. This was impos
sible under the former rules. My chief
objections to foot ball were the certain
cheating elements that were in the game.
They were partly eliminated by the for
mer change in the rules and still more SO
by these new rules.
