Greater Show of Offensive
Power Basis for the
Blues Hope.
TIGERS LACK THE PUNCH
Failed to Expose an Attack in
Harvard and Dartmouth
Games to Indicate a
Scoring Ability.

Yale should beat Princeton in their
yearly struggle on the gridron at New
Haven to-day, for the reason that Yale
appeared to possess against Brown on
Saturday and in at least one practice
this week what the Tigers plainly lacked
against Harvard and Dartmouth-the Of
fensive power, the final punch, which
makes scoring possible.
Latter day football is uncertain and
hard to fathom. more particularly when
two teams are fairly evenly matched
and when comparative scores are so few
and lead only into a puzzing maze.
Under the new rules much depends upon
chance and the keenness in following L
loose ball; also the aptitude of individ-
uals to take advantage of opportunities
that come their way. For these reasons
the work of a critic, so far as making a
forecast Is concerned, becomes doubIy
difficult.
There must be something tangible on
which to base an opinion if one is not
satisfied to guess and if one is not
swayed by prejudice, and. everything
else being equal, it strikes me hat the
one tangible thing which stands out in
considering the possible outcome of the
game this afternoon lies in Yale's greater
show OF offensive strength. This may
be predicated by II knowledge Of Prince
toms weakness rather than by any real
knowledge of Yale's power, inasmuch as

The President in perfect good faith has
assured delegation after delegation from
New York and other places that the gov

Russia observe this treaty. The President
said Mr. Rockhill was extending his every

The SEASON OF BUYING
BEGINS In AMERlCUS
Many Heed the Advice to
Shop Early

Americus' well-flled stores will at
tract this week more than ever the
throngs of Xmas buyers. The stores
are already attractive in the display OF
goods and holiday trade is on with
rush, which will increase with each
succeeding day.
Just two weeks-a dozen buying
days-remain, and one of these is the
tumultous Christmas eve, when the
scramble is at the height.
And in making purchases, be consid-
crate of the salespeop'e.
Remember that the girl behind the
counter doesn't care to know why
your cook did not come
That the girl has probably not had
time to eat her own breakfast, so that
she may be at the store to wait on
you
That if you do not know what you
want to buy and hesitate, twenty Wo-
men waiting will lose their tempers
and ruin their dispositions.
That the girl who is waiting on
you doesn't care what Sally received
last Xmas just so you buy quickly
from her this year.
That she heally cannot tell yot
what makes blondes like some color
and brunettes despise it
Yes, she thinks that it is wonderful
how cheap doll are but she hasn't
time to give you the reason why they
were formerly so costly
No-she doesn't know if theso-and
SOS still give each other Christmas
gifts or not.
That if you can't make up you
mind whether you'll take your pack
age or have it sent why on earti
did you buy it? She's not to blame
Don't think the girl sarcastic, /
when you ask her If it is proper t,
give a man an Xmas gift who reall,
likes you but doesn't know it. sh
refers you to a certain magazine tha
gives advice to the senseless.
Be sure to ask the girl if she
tired. She might otherwise forget it.

Also, she agrees that 1t is ratht

COMING YEAR
WILL WITNESS
MORE PAVING
so DECLARES MAYOR MATHIS
Believes Many Other Streets
Will Be Paved Next Year

Il confidently expect to see Lee
street paved before the close of the
coming year" said Mayor j. f. Ma
this yesterday, while giving his views
concerning the prospects of the city
as regards improvements next year.
1T will require some time to ac-
cOmplish this much desired improve
ment, but it is certain to come in the
course of time. Not only will Lee
street be paved, but there will be
many other streets that will be pay
ed soon.
Sentiment is practically unanim-
Gus already among the residents on
College street in favor of the paving
of that thoroughfare, and that should
be one of the most important civic
Improvements of 1912 Taylor street,
too, will be paved, as the residents
along that street are highly in favor
of gaining the advantages afforded by
having modern pavement placed on
that street
After Taylor street has been paw
ed, it will be only a question of
short time before the loop connect
ing Taylor with Church street by
way of Brown street, will be paved,
also, giving a paced circuit out from
will hn nfhnr
streets to be included in this number,
connecting these streets with the
pavements already laid by the city.
"Americus has had a good taste Of
what modern pavement means, and
the good results gained from this
will be lasting. Instead of allowing
sentiment in favor of paving to wane
it will be kept constantly growing
until Americus has an area of paved
streets equal to that Of any city OF
its size in the state. The era Of paw
ing improvements locally has just
begun, and it should continue until
We have all our principal streets paw
ed"
Mayor Mathis did not make knows
what part, if any, the city might be
expected to take in these improve
ments, as that will be determined
later. He feels sure, however. that
the sentiment IN favor of paving will
be kept alive henceforward among
the citizens of Americus. Decidedly
optimistic is Mayor Mathis as regards
the growth of Americus during the
coming year.

DAWSON WAS
SWAMPED in
SWIFT GAME
LOCALS won: SCORE so TO 22
Unnecessary ROughRGSS In
duIged in By Both Teams

Gaining sweet revenge for the de-
fea;s dealt to the High School team
recently by the Dawson five, the local
Y. M. c.. A. basket ball team Friday
overwhelmed the Dawson team by
score of so to % in a fast and fu-
rious game. The excellent team WORK
arc better all round playing gave
he locals an easy victory.
The game, which was played on the
basket ball court of the local Y. NJ.
c. A. building, was witnessed by a
large and enthusiastic crowd of spec
tators, among whom was a generous
delegation of Dawson rooters. No
game of the season here has been SO
largely attended or was so thorough
ly enjoyed as the one played last
night.
During the first half the teams
were very evenly matched, though the
locals soon gained a slight lead and
kept it till the whistle sounded,
leaving them five points to the good
The latter half of the game, however,
soon took on the complexion of
walk-away, with the locals playing
the leading role. The visitors were
completely outclassed in the latter
part of the game, and their efforts
to throw goals from the field were
pY etic, while the locals placed the
ball in the basket with religious reg
ularity, having gained 23 points over
the Dawson five in the part of the
game alone.
Christie, who played center for
the visitors, was the bright particu-
lar star of the Dawson five. For the
locals Dunn starred throughout the
game, his quick and unerring aim
having been responsible for the great
er part of the goals piled up by the
home team. Brooks also played a
stellar role, showing wonderful speed
in offensive and defensive work and
great accuracy in shooting goals.
The game was characterized by
unnecessary roughness, both tean&s
having piled up numerous fouls.
while Referee Youmans mercifully
refrained from calling larger num-
Der of them. Thorough good humor
prevailed on both sfdes, however,
and the locals gave the visitors
three rousing cheers at the conclus-
ion of the game.

MRS. NANCY H. BUCHANAN
WAS STRICKEN BY DEATH
Beloved Woman Died Sudden.
Iy Saturday

The death of Mrs. Nancy H. BID
chanan yesterday morning was a
shock to her wide circle of friends
and the people of Americus generally
among whom she had so long resided
| and was so universally beloved pos
! sessing as she did those rare attri-
butes Of womanhood that endeared
her to all.
The fact that she had not been i'll
previously and had retired the night
before in apparent health, served 10
render the shock of her demise the
more distinct.
During the early hours of morning
Mrs. Buchanan was seized with some
heart affection and called to her
daughter, Miss Yonah Buchanan. Ply
sicians were hastily summoned, but
the pure spirit of this dear, sweet
woman had already winged its fligh.
to realms above.
And in her death Americus loses
one whose place can never be filled;
an exemplary Christian and true wo-
man in the fullest sense that tie
term can convey.
Mrs. Buchanan was formerly Miss
Nancy L. Howell and a native of
Sumter county, where she was born
November 9th, 1910, thus being y
years of age She was the relict cf
the late A. ]. Buchanan, of Ameri-
Gus.
To their union was born two SONS
and three daughters, all of whom sur
yiye her. These are Messrs. G. F..
and Neon Buchanan, Mrs. E. L. Bell,
Mrs. James W Furlow and Miss Yo-
nah Buchanan. Mrs. Furlow is in Fort
Leavenworth, Kans., where she re-
sides, and is now en- route to the
stricken home here.
Besides her immediate family, Mrs.
Buchanan is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Eva Rocks, and brother, Mr..
John T. Howell. r..

FOR MURDER OF WOMAN
NAN GIVEN LIFE Term
Fifth One Thus Sent Up This

VIII Corbin, an Americus negro,
was short circuited from the social
realm of blackdom yesterday when a
jury in Superior court convicted him
of murder in first degree. Judge Lit
tlejohn imposed the life sentence up
on Corbin, who escaped the moose by
close call. Corbin, in the early
summer, shot and killed Daisy Brown
a negress, on College street, west. He
was drunk on wildcat liquor at the
time and there was perhaps, no malice
expressed or implied in the homicide.

Miners PERISH
AMID FLAMES
AND SMOKE
Two HUNDRED WERE BURIED
Fearful and Fatal Catastrophe
In Tennessee

Knoxville, Tenn, Dec 9.-Between
140 and 200 men are entombed and
probably dead in the Cross Mountain
mine of the Knoxville Iron Company
at Briceville, near here, as the result
of what is thought to have been u
dust explosion far underground, at
1920 o'clock this morning.
The work of rescue is thwarted by
a cave I'm encountered by a party
which proceeded into the mine a
distance of one mile.
Until the arrival of the federal ey-
perts with oxygen helmets ard other
mine rescue apparatus which are ex-
pected tonight, 1t may not be pos
sible to effect an entrance into what
it is feared will prove chamber Of
horrors.
Gases emanating from the mine
entrances gave rise to early reports
of fire raging in the mine, but this
was denied. Three men in one of
the shafts escaped just after the ex@
plosion, and they reported that they
had observed no unusual conditions
previous to the blast.
1t is thought that If the rescuers
are unable to reach thei Imprisoned
miners through the two main shafts,
they may be reached by an aban
doned entry ON an opposite side Of
the mountain.
