Japan's Foreign Minister
Soon to Resign.
Difference Of Opinion Between
Him and Marquis kaisura.
Ambassad dor Kato May Be Success
or--Tarlif a Bone Of conten ton. :

Toxic, Tuesday. Nov. 1.-The resig-
nation Of Count komura. minister Of
foreign affairs, must be regarded as
an event of the not far distant future.
Protracted Ill health may be given as
the primary cause when the announce
ment is made, but there are other
causes leading up to what will be gen.
orally regarded in Japan as an unfor-
tuna:e necessity.
OF late it has been q somewhat open
secret that differences of opinion exist
ed between Marquis llatsura and his
minister of foreign affairs. The new
tariff law, enacted this year, will go
into effect next July. and the negotia-
tions for conventions form the ground
work for these differences. Perhaps
the effect of the statutory tariff upon
foreign relations was not given suf-
ficient consideration, but at any rate.
Japans ally, Great Britain. has been
giving much trouble to the foreign Of
flee IN this connection.
Ambassador kato in London, it is
reported. has not been in full Sympa-
thy with his government or rather
has advocated more liberal dealing
with Great Britain as an ally. The re-
suit is that there will be changes in
the statutory tariff or conventional tar
ifs must be made alongside of the
statute.
Count konara'S friends assert that
he was lnisled into making certain
statements which he is now obliged to
retract, or would be obliged If he were
% ,,or3,. ~ t,n chaprrce, Yoyp Contam,,,
lated; hence the resignation.
A canvass Of the situation in the
search for Count Komuras successor
would probably result in the nomina
ton of Mr.. Kato himself, and his re-
call from London may be regarded as
not unlikely.

The showing made by the Bates
football team this past fall has been
made possible in Il great measure by
four Gardiner boys who made the
team and won their "B' while a fifth
Gardlne. boy WAS one Of the first
string substitutes for the line. They
are Eugene Lovely, captain of the
team, Russ Cole, captain of next
years team. Ray Shepard, Dick Ell
bridge and Monte Moore.
Lovely at full back was not only the
leader of the team but was one of
the best men. Playing the position he
did he was used frequently in carry
ing the bali and was good ground
gamer, while his punting was a
feature. In the Bates Maine game he
outclassed Shepherd. the Maine full
back. who was heraldcd as the
premier kicker of all the Maine teams
at the beginning of the season. Love-
~ has played football the four years
he has been in college and has made
the team every year but one.
With the election of Russ Cole as
captain for next fall the homer of hav-
ing the captaincy of the team held two
successive years by young man from
the Same city comes To Gardiner.
Coles election Is agreed by alI+ TO- be
the best choice the team Gould have
made. He has. made the. team the
three years he had been ia college and
his work this last fall at center was

will doubtless develop q good team

The work of Ray Shepard at left
guard this fall was noticeable IN all the
games. Sheperd is one of the strong
est men on the team, as We'll as the
heaviest. This was the second year
he has played college football. Last
fall he. was one of the first string
substitutes and was sent into the set-

Football at the University OF Penn
sylvana during The season just closed
was rot as lucrative as in former years
and the balance appears to be on the
wrong side of the ledger. At meet
ing Of the board OF directors of the
Athletic EAssociation John G. Gilpin,
the treasurer, reported n decrease for
the season of 1910 from that of the pre-
v;ous year Of about $4,000. y year ago
tho eleven was supposed to have
broken Just about even on the season.
The members Of the board say the de-
crease is due TO the fact that Oh the
date of every Pennsylvania game
played this year there was some big
counter attraction.
Football enthusiasts, particularly i'll
the smaller colleges, are wondering
what attitude toward the new game, in
the light of the recent seasons play,
will be taken by the collegiate
Athletic Association when it holds its
annual meeting on Dec. 20 in New
York. AS general proposition. 1t is
thought that the reformed game Will
be endorsed, but notifications in some
of the rules will undoubtedly be rec
commended. Although the Big Four
are not affiliated with the association
6S other colleges and universities owe
allegiance to it.
