The suit which Mrs Case brought

prejudice in favor of Mrs Case, which

All who have had dealings with the
Longyear Office will agree that there is
not squarer lot OF men TO deal with

What is said to be neglect on the

the probable amputation of her hand.
She is young colored girl, living at
1904 West Norris street, and is subject
to epileptic fits.
When G. T. Mattingly, city license
collector, was driving north of town he
noticed a girl sitting on piazza solemn
ly examining her hand, which was COW

position when he returned, and he de-

cident. 1t seemed she had awakened
from an epileptic fit and found her hand
lying in a stove. partially burned away.

Harvard made comparatively few
consistent marches in to Yale's terri
tory by a rushing game and kicking
was adopted as the best means of
offense against an uncertain Blue
back field
Eight bad muffs showed the wis
dom of this line of attack. Harvard
had no call to uncover any intricate
plays and relied almost entirely on
line plunges by Wendell and Brick
ley.
The Yale offense did not show
strong until the last few minutes of
play, when Harvard's first string of
players was supplanted by substi-
tutes. The score made by the Grim
son today was the largest made in a
Harvard-Yale game in ten years and
the touchdowns were the first either
the Crimson or the Blue has scored
against each other in five years.
As Harvard has vanquished all
comers, the Crimson players were
hailed as champions when they left
the field.
Teams Come on Field.
New Haven, Nov. 23.-BOth teams
were early on the field, Yale coming
on at 1:40 p. m. and Harvard a few
minutes later.
Harvard cheered Captain Wendell
of the Crimson team and Captain
Spalding of the Blue. This courtesy
was returned by the Yale side with
cheers for Captain Spalding and Cap
tain Wendell. Then the two leaders
shook hands while Referee Langford
toss ID the coin for choice of goals.
Yale won the toss and took the west
goal and the kickoff. This gave Har-
ward the north end with the sun in
their faces. Flynn kicked off over the
Harvard line. The ball was brought
out to the 20-yard line. FELTON, kick

Navy Sees Easy Victory.

Annapolis, Nov. 23.-Navy antici-
pates an easy victory over the New
York university eleven this afternoon
in the last game on the academy
gridiron prior to the annual contest
with Army at Philadelphia next Sat
urday. According to reliable infor-
nation there is still some uncertainty
over at least three places on the team
for the inter-service match, with
strong candidates among the substi-
tutes for the coveted positions, while
Leonard seems strongest contender
for left half Cook and Alexander have
shown up so well in practice this week
that both will be given trial today
Vaughn is fighting hard for Howe's
place at guard while Redman is a
warm contender for either of the
tackle jobs.

the Iowa team to hold down the score.

that last years unpleasantness nay

Teams Evenly Matched.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. 23.-Not since
Missouri and Kansas universities be-
gan their annual gridiron battles have
they been represented by teams SEEM
ingly more evenly matched than those
that were prepared to lineup on Nc
Cook field today to decide the foot
ball supremacy of the two universi-
ties. Despite the fact that Missouri
this year has defeated two teams,
Drake and Oklahoma, which forced
Kansas to taste defeat, Coach c. L.
Brewer, of Missouri. said before the
game was called that he would be sat
isfied with "a tie score as he did not
believe either team had an advantage.
He admitted that Oklahoma and Drake
were crippled when they played Mis-
souri,.
Arthur Mosse, coach of the Kansas
team, did not underestimate the
strength of the Missourians either. He
said the game would not be won until
the final whistle blows and that luck
probably would enter largely into the
result.
Experts expressed the belief that
Kansas was superior in the end posi-
tions while Missouri had the advan-
tage in the backfield.

New Haven, Nov. 23.-The alert
ness of Harvard in taking advantage
of Yale's errors, and field kicking by
Brickley gave the Crimson the victory
over the Blue today by a score of
20 to 0.
Two touchdowns, one by Storer and
the other by Brickley, were scored in
the first and third periods, principal
ly due to muffed punts in the Yale
back field Brickley kicked one goal
from the field from the 35-yard line
and another from the 19-yard line
Yale was never dangerous until the
final period, when the Blues offense
carried the bail sixty yards down the
field to Harvard's S-yard line. There
1T was lost on downs. A few min
uteS later later Pumpelly was able to
try to kick a field goal when the
game ended.
