inaugurate the sitting process with
in few days. Harvard will be the
last of the big eastern institutions
to begin work, the call for Crimson
candidates naming next Monday as
the date for gathering at Cambridge.
When the Yale men begin practice
tomorrow they will find awaiting
them a new football field on the
large tract of land on Derby avenue
opposite the present Yale gridiron
recently purchased for stadium.
Part of the practice will be on the
new grounds, the regular Yale field
grdirOn being reserved for late prac-
tice and scheduled games. About
fifty candidates will try for the Yale
variety eleven and will begin to-
morrow the two weeks drill before
the first real contest, which will be
played two weeks from today, Sep
TENDER u, the day before the open
ing of college. The dormitories,
training table and other quarters
are today in readiness for the squad,
many of whom are new in New
Haven.
The Yale outlook is regarded as un-
usually promising. Ends and half
backs must be developed because
of the gaps left by the graduation
of Fitzpatrick, Brooks, Field and Cap
tain Daily, and a center must b.
found to succeed Morris. The strong
freshmen eleven of last year fur
nishes much good prospective ma
terial for all these positions.
Yale's first opponent will be Holy
Cross, and week later the latter
will tackle Harvard, thus affOrding
an early opportunity to compare the
process of the Blue and Crimson
elevenS.
Reports from Princeton, Cornell,
Harvard and Pennsylvania are all
more hopeful than usual, and the OPP
timism which provides the schOlas-
tic air seems to be founded on fast,
giving hope of close and exciting
struggle.
This years rules are not very diff
ferent from those Of last season and
the coaches will not be SO much
bothered in trying out possibilities,
as was the case in 1910, when radi:
cal changes in the regulation of the
game had just been put in effect.
There will be some experimenting
in new styles of play, but the early
contests with the second-raters will
be devoted more largely to sitting
material and rounding out strong
teams.

At the invitation of the Mems So
ciety, Rev. Torgeir Hoverstad spoke
last evening to an appreciative au-
dience at the Trinity Norwegian
church. Rev. Hoverstad is a drec-
tor of the United Church Hospital
Association Of Minneapolis, which
maintains the Thomas hospital of
that city and which has under con-
struction a general hospital on the
same grounds in Riverside Park
which will be known as the Fair
view hospital when completed.
Rev. Hoverstad is most interest
ing and pleasing speaker and shows
the institution which he is repre-
senting. The hospitals are cosmO-
politan and interdenominational.
They are open to patients of all ma
tionalities and all creeds. The hos
pital is strictly speaking for consump-
tives, but when the larger building
is completed general hospital
treatment will be given.
Rev. Hoverstad is personally in
terested in unfortunate humanity and
gives much of his spare time to
visiting inmates of prisons AMI
jails. While here he visited the
county Jail where he favored the
prisoners with songs.
1t was Rev. Hoverstad who start
ed the general effort now being
made throughout the state to obtain
the pardon of Andrew Void, who
is serving a life sentence at the
state prison, and whose past life
and conditions surrounding his trial
and the model Christian life he is
living at the prison has won him
friends.

Lake Crystal Union: We were

This was the show that was COM

both places.
1t was a flank movement on the
part of the advance agent in talk

or st. Peter St. Peter would not
have been as good a show town as
Lake Crystal. The bug house is too

Rochester, September 13.-As the
result of hazing which has been
practiced among students in the Ro
chester high school for some time
but seemingly stronger this year,
John Cudmore, Jr., son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Cudmore, residing on
North Liberty street, is suffering
with internal injuries which may
cripple him for life, and which are
now causing some anxiety to his
parents.
Young CudmOre was among the
unfortunate victims of the FRANKS
of the high school students who en-
tered the freshman class at the be-
ginning of school. AS with others,
he was seized by number of the
larger students, and with no chance
to defend himself, placed across a
rail and logged with rubber hose
Nothing was thought of the mat.
ter at first, although the young man
complained of pain and was com
PEELED to limp, but his condition
grew worse until the services of
physicians were necessary. On Mon
day night he suffered such torture
that Opiates were necessary to quiet
him, and the pain does not lesson.
An X-ray has been taken of the hip
where he was hurt, but it is not
possible to state as yet how badly
he is injured internally.
The practice has been called to
the attention of the school board,
and that body has firmly decided TO
put the ban on any such doings in
connection with the high school
work, believing it unnecessary for a
student seeking an education to en-
dure such procedure. The board eX-
poets to issue statement in the
near future that any student caught
hazing will be given permanent sus-
pension from the city schools, a Sc
we're penalty that should put a stop
for all time to such a practice.

Nothing is heard about the pro-
posed celebration of the completion
of the water works. Is it to be drop
ped or will the Commercial club
and firemen unite in making ar
rangements for a big time. 1t would
be an effective means of letting non
residents know that North MankatO
has an up to date water system for
fire protection and house use. A
number of citizens have expressed
onstration, believing that it would be
beneficial to the village. What
seems needed to get started is a
leader or a body of men, as the
Commercial club or fremen, to carry
it forward.

that honor conferred upon him by
two presidents. The second Is John
@. Napier Of Nashville, Tenn, who
will assume the duties of that Office In
February, 1911.
+ Out of that small group Of Negro
students that gathered In Oberlin In
the twilight Of Negro freedom under
the guidance Of the learned John Mer-
Ger Langston have come some noted
men. Bruce became a United States
senator, was twice register Of the
treasury and was also recorder Of
deeds for the District of Columbia.
Settle went into the law and has at
tained distinction as splendid law
yer and brilliant orator.
Napier also took up the legal pro-
fession, in which he made good; then
he became a financier. He founded
and Is at present the cashier Of one of
the strongest banks conducted by Ne.
groes In this country.
In Tennessee the name Of Napier Is
passport Of business integrity and
confidence. His rating in Dun's and
Bradstreet's is most creditable, and his
success as a fnancier is attested by
his comfortable circumstances and the
possession of a goodly portion Of
worldly goods"
While his companions were In poll.
tics he was in business, and now when
his business is in such excellent shape
he turns aside to political diversion
more as call Of duty than one Of
necessity.
Mr.. Napier is no stranger to Wash.
ingtonians. There he studied law In
Howard University Law school, and
there he led one Of the accomplished
daughters Of Hon. John M. Langston
to the altar to become his wife.
His political record is clean and
above reproach. He has been a favor
ite with both factions Of the Repub-
lican party in his state for years. In
the campaign leading up to the nomi-
nation Of candidate for president Mr..
Napier was an ardent supporter of
Judge Taft, and he contributed much
to the success of the Republican ticket.
Mr.. Napier Is a member Of the
Jeanes fund board, a member Of the
board Of trustees of Howard uni.
versity, chairman Of the executive
committee Of the National Negro Busi.
ness league and Is also a member Of
fraternal and religious organizations.
The position of register Of the treas.
ury is a most responsible one. The
signature Of that official must be af.
fixed to the currency Of this nation.
The position has been held by three
colored men besides Mr.. Napier-B. X.

Against coIored immigrants.
emigration Of a large number Of ne
groes from the United States to west
ern Canada, the Winnipeg board Of
trade Wednesday night adopted res
olutions as follows:
Whereas, those negroes who have
come into Canada and taken up land
have not proven themselves satisfac-
tory as farmers, thrifty as settlers,
or desirable neighbors to white set
tiers and have not and will not likely
assist in the proper development Of
our country and its resources. Be 1t
therefore,
Resolved, that the board Of trade
of the city Of Winnipeg strongly
urge upon the government the advis-
ability of preventing the entrance in

grants"
The resolutions were forwarded to
Ottawa.
