YANKEE FOOTBALI-MYE EYE!
 TITS A RALLY QUEER GYME.

Next Saturday the big stadium at Cambridge, Mass, will be the scene of the annual football game between Harvard and Dartmouth, ancient ene- mics of the ,grtdiron. It is recalled that it was by witnessing a contest between the g1adiators of these insti- tutions, a. year or two ago, that MT. Keb1e Howard, of London, was in- itiafed into. the mysteries and alleged ball, SO different from thN sport of the same name to which he was &C., customed on the other side of the At 1antie. MT. Howard viewed the liar vard-Dartfnouth fracas as the cores pondent or the London Sketch, and his impressions were published in that periodical. He said:
 My English readers who have not visited America will be able to form some idea of the importance attach ed to football in this country when I som mething like 10000 people, and is built of solid stone. We do not go that length in England even for our beloved horse-racing. Immediately facing me was an enormous placard bearing the word 'Dartm mouth.' Be- meath this were assembled in close section and the Dartmouth brass band. On the other side of the sta dium was the Harvard cheering sec tion' and the Harvard brass brand. The Dartmouth cheering section was under the control of two gentlemen who kept their backs to the game the S not to reason why; thirs but to keen the supporters of Dartmouth in a con- stant state of mental and trachael in f1ammation. The excitement and en- thusiasrn of the women struck me as most extraordinary. In England, if a woman goes to football match, she spends half the time in criticizing the coIors of the jerseys, and the other lamenting the fact that her feet are cold. There is nothing of that sort about the American woman. Di- rectly the teams appear on the field, she begins to call out, jump up and down in her seat, and clap her hands. I have said nothing as vet about the players. The players are heroes to a man. T hear said Harvard under graduate to me as we were walking back to his rooms. that one of our freshmen had his neck broken this afternoon in the game against the Yale freshmen Dear, dearH I replied. I'm awfui1y sorry to hear that!' Yes my friend continued, so was T. If it's correct, we shall have to pest pone the Yale-Harvard match next Saturday."

Seven Presbyterian Churches in Washington Want President and Vice President Elect to Worship There

Princeton, Nov. 11.It was stated at Gov.

None has been presidentzelect will consent to make 9 public Appearance before he is in augurated unless some extraordinary event materiallzes. The governor was amused when told that there were seven Presbyterian churches insWash ington all of which were anxious to President and president, both Of whom are Presbyterians, shall wor- ship.
 .sIt is a peculiar coincidence that both Vice-President-elect Marshall and myself are Presbyterians,' he said, s'but am glad there are enough churches of that denomination in Washington to go around"
 The President-elects mail con tinues to grow despite his most de- termined efforts to reduce it's volume. While many of the letters are per sona1 congratulations there are others which suggest men for jobs and still others which explain to the Presi- dent t-elect what he ought to do when he gets to Washington Every letter is read and answered as far as possi- ble without following any regular form.
 Wilson is getting considerable amusement out of the stories brought to him by visitors of the enthusiasm with which his merits are discussed by Charley Quinn, the village hackman.'' Quinn controls the only two taxicabs in Princeton and when asked to drive visitors to the Wilson home dilates on the democracy of the next President.
 ..I have driven the governor for IS years" Charley declares, .tand I have driven when he was president of Princeton, when he was governor and those years he has been considerate, pleasant and democratic. The fact that he has been getting into higher and higher places has never feazed him. He is as democratic, today, as he was 15 years ago"
