and they nave hammered the squad at
the double-quick this week to quicken
the attack, which was found slower
than the Army's last Saturday. Hardly
a first-string man could be found last
night who did not limp or show signs
of the pounding which began when the
players returned to scrimmaging on
Tuesday.
The first set of backs was rested yes
terday, but the rush line was 'rivc1
through an hours hammering, the first
half devoted to breaking-through drill,
the second to a whirlwind game with
the scrubs. In which the v~rsitv scored
twice, Dick Merritt taking the ball
over the line for both scores.
CorneIps Good Kickers.
The Cornell varsity and the scrub
mixed up in a long and hard scrim-
mage of about an hours duration yes
terday afternoon, and after the varsity
had put 1t onto the scrub the fast
freshmen eleven was pitted against
them. BY that time the varsity was
well worn out, but they were crushing
the first year men until a tumble by
Hawkins gave Collyer, of the freshmen
team. a chance to make a ten-yard
run for a touchdown.
1t was a day of uncovering more
kickers. On the varsity side OCon-
nor. the left halfback, starred, send
ing two d~ropAIioks from the 30-yard
line at no easy &lgle. Underhill, the
varsity fullback, proved that Butler
vas not the only man who could kick
field goals by lacing one over for three
more points for the varsity. The first
team managed to get busy with touch
downs, scoring three during the pro-
gress of the scrimmage. Underhill,
Hawkins and Collins took II over.
Penn's Varsity Ready.
PENIS varsity eleven wound up the
hard work in preparation for the State
game tomorrow by going through a
stiff scrimmage with the scrubs behind
closed gates on Franklin Field, Phila-
delphia. yesterday afternoon. The work
was far from pleasing to the coaches,
as the team showed up very weak on
the defense, and was unable to score a
single point against their game oppon-
.ents.
For over thirty minutes the two
elevens battled in one of he most CRU
cling of scrimmages. The men went at
the work as if the fate of a nation de-
pended on their success and displayed
the dash and vim which has been lack
ing in the practise f or the past week.
Although the varsity had several
chances to score they we're all snatched
away at opportune times by the stub
born defense work on the part of the
scrubs.

Washington. Feb. 14.-President
Taft's reciprocity agreement WITH
Canada was passed in the house of rep
resentatives tonight through the sup
port of the almost solid democratic
vote. The Mccall bill. carrying the
agreement into effect. was passed by

and tainted the majority members for
their lack of unity. The democratic
| leaders also put in a claim that the
reciprocity agreement was good demo-
cratic doctrine and they declared that
they were glad to welcome President
Taft and many house republicans into
the democratic fold.
The final vote was reached tonight
through the application of the cloture
rule. which shut off all amendments
and even dispensed with the reading of
the bill. This procedure was decided
upon only after Mr. Mccall. in charge
of the bill, had failed to get unanimous
consent to do away with the calendar
| on Wednesday.
| The republicans who opposed the bill
fought the rule. denouncing ii in caustic
language. They directed their fire
especially against the democrats and
accused them, on the eve of going into
power in the house, of enforcing a
gag rule as drastic as any they had
inveighed against in the past.
! Champ Clark took Representative
Dalzell of Pennsylvania SHARPLY to task
for complaining of the undue haste
with which the house was acting on the
reciprocity measure. He said the demo-
Gratis had sat for years bound and
gagged while the gentleman from
Pennsylvania and his associates had
brought in rule after rule and had
rushed legislation through without Civ
ing opportunity for amendment.

they characterized as a departure from

espousal of free trade.

to Speaker Cannon. The meal was de-

into a breakfast If it was necessary in

If this is persisted in it will mean
that the Thursday. session may be ex-
tended into, and if necessary. through

durance between the friends and OPP
ponents of the measure; either cOntinu-
Gus speaking by the opposition senator's
or a filibuster.
On the other hand. the supporters of
the resolution will be required to main
tain a quorum as a requisite for doing
business. The advocates of the popular
election of senators are said to have
considered all points and declare that
they know just where they stand. They
express more confidence in success
than they have manifested for some
time. This renewed hope is due to a
canvass of the democratic side of the
senate. which convinces them tiiat even
pOrated some democratic votes will still
be assured.
The amendment provides for the
ultimate control of senatorial elections
in case congress shall decide that such
control is desirable.
