FINDS BEAUTY IN COLLEGE
A University President Gives His
idea of Pretty Woman.

Boston university is plentifully
supplied with beautiful young wo-
men who are beautiful. President
Lemuel Murlin, the energetic heao
of the institution of learning, says
so, and no one questions the point
that he ought to know.
Furthermore. President Murlin
declares that higher education is
conducive to beauty, for with 1t
goes physical training along scien-
tific principles whereby grace and
symmetrical development accrue.
President Murlin has number of
requirements besides these which
must be possessed and exhibited in
everyday life before any young wo-
man, no matter how attractive her
face and figure may be, can be said
to have attained perfection as the
ideal type
He had been asked tc describe
his ideal of beautiful woman and
his reply at the outset enunciated
the fact that to his mind, at least,
any woman who has high motives
is beautiful, even though she might
not be fair of face.
There are plenty of young VIC
men in Boston university" he said
who come up to my ideal of what
constitutes the real type Of beauty III

adage, Beauty is as beauty does.

contributing factor toward beauty.

lines, all contributing to beauty. In

upon the Importance of physical cur

own gymnasium and equipment and
all this leads to symmetrical devel-
opment and grace

Veteran Is Again Put on First
Eleven, Being in
Good Shape.
OTHER COLLEGE NEWS

New Haven, Conn. Nov. l3.-Almost
on the eve of the game with Princeton,
Yale has made another change in the
varsity lineup. This afternoon Ben
Avery was transferred from right end
to left, and the veteran Bbmeisler was
given right, where he played last sea
son. Carl GaIlauer, whose play has be-
come a trife slow will enter the game
as Bomeisler's understudy. Both Bomeis-
Ter and Gallauer were susceptible to in
jury and Sheldon, as third string man.
Is likely to get into the game in that
position. On the other wing Carter has
been reserved for second choice.
For thirty minutes the regulars and
scrubs drove on the high gear this aft
ernoon and coaches were more satisfied
with the showing than even yesterday,
although only three touchdowns were
reeled OF, the same number as yester-
day.
To-day probably closed scrimmages
before the Princeton game. Tomorrow
and Friday are reserved for signal drills
The improvement shown this week has
inspired feeling of confidence OF vic
tory over Princeton not held before this
season, and Yale men are giving odds

Theatrical Man Sues
"Rube" Mar9uard for
$4,000 Heart Balm

New York, Nov 1S-The troubles of
RUDE Marquard, idol of baseball fans,
and Blossom Seeley, the little vaudeville
actress who is Rube's partner in a
vaudeville sketch, have once more been
brought into the limeIight.
This time Marquard is named as de-
tendant in supreme court action for
alienation of the little actress affec-
tons. Her husband, joseph Cahen
also known as Joe Kane, filed the papers
to-day. He caused them to be served on
Marquard a few nights ago as he was
dining with Blossom at the Follies Rer-
gere. Cahen declares that since his mar
rage In October, 1911, he has practically
mace his wife's fortune as a stage IA
Vorite. He and she were happV. tb.,
complaint recites, until Marouard an
peared on the scene and persuaded Mrs
Cahen that her husband was not the
right person for her to cherish.
Cahen adds that since last Octoba-
Marquard has robbed him of his uvifa,s
affections by attentions, nurnerons
gifts and by abusing, slandering ord
6elittleing her husband in the presence of
Blossom Cahen." "a
Cahen also charges that Naro,,a,5

Athletics Are Winning.

Connie Macks White Elephants, the
team which finished behind Washington
in the American League race this sea-
son. are at present kicking up lot of
dust down in Cuba. For the first time in
several years the Cubans have the nov
city of seeing their favorite ball clubs
go down in defeat before the Athletics.
The Cubans have always disputed the
claim made by the Americans, that of
Worlds Champions" and rightly so too,
for the dark-skinned players have usu-
ally succeeded in walloping the Yankees
whenever our teams appeared on the is
land.
Up to date the Athletics have played
five games and won them all, the major
ity by overwhelming scores. There will
propably be no further walls Of protest
from the Cubans on the subject Of
Worlds Champions"

Betting on the Virginia Game.

Up to the present time few wagers have
been laid on the outcome of the George
Virginia game, Washington's grid
iron classic, scheduled for Saturday on
the Hilltoppers field.
1t appears to be the consensus Of opin-
ion that Georgetown has the better team,
and barring accidents or fiukes will win
decisively.
4 few loyal Virginia alumni in the
Capital are betting even money that
Georgetown will not score more than two
tOuchdowns.
Not until the undergraduates from the
Charlottesville University storm the Capt.
tai Friday night and Saturday morning,
will there be any real betting, and the
chances are then that Virginia will ask
for to l odds.

Navy Tenn Wenk.

Annapolis. Md, Nov. 13-The .unex-
pIainable weakness Of practically every
member OF the Navy Academy squad in
tackling. is causing the coaches much
concern and it is realized that the Navy
cannot expect to make a good showing
against the Army team unless II i'm
proves its form in a department OF the
game for which Navy teams used to be
notable. The weakness is all the more
surprising from the fact that a number
OF the first team men did splendid work
along this line last season but this year
seem to be afraid to leave their feet
for a hard driving tackle. Wheaton.
field coach. and former Yale back. took
the ball in disgust this afternoon and
lodged the whole first team, the players
apparently being afraid to launch them
selves at him. At times three or four
players were massed in front OF him,
but he readily eluded them all.
Jack Gates, another old Yale player.
and formerly a very successful coach at
the Academy. rejoined the coaching STAFF
this afternoon while there was a large
representation OF the Navy contingent
on hand to encourage the Navy team.

Cornell Team Looks Good.

Ithaca, n. Y, Nov. 13-Driven at top
speed by the coaches at the last prac-
tice before the Michigan game the Cor
nell team crashed through the first and
second scrubs and then the stubborn
freshmen in a lively scrimmage which
tested the offensive strength of the var
sity to the limit. The regulars came out
in good shape and gave a fairly good
demonstra ton.
Practically the entire varsity team which
will play against Michigan was in the
lineup to-day. Eyrich. having recovered
from recent injuries. was put out on left
end. Champaign is still resting up. Capt.
Butler ran the team from quarter, while
OConnor played for a time at left half.
indicating that his injuries last Satur-
day were not very serious.

Yale's New Stadium.

Can you imagine 100000 fans bowling,
cheering. and roofing for their favorite
football eleven or baseball nine? Well,
as soon as the new Yale stadium at New
Haven has been finished the aforesaid
number of persons will be able to crowd
into the amphitheater. 1t will be the
largest stadium in America and unique
in many respects Similar to a motor
cycle track. the expected home grounds
of Old ELS athletes will be bowl-shaped,
sixty feet deep, and $1,000 persons Will be
comfortably seated, while it will be able
TO accommodate more than 100000. A re-
port from New Haven has it that 500. 900
will be spent to erect the big stadium,
and the expenditures for improvements
of the Yale field athletic equipment will
bring the total expense up around the
800, 900 mark.

Final Work Mt Penpsy.

Philadelphia, Nov. 13-Pennsylvania' 5
last football scrimmage in preparation
for the Indian game consisted entirely
of defensive work, with a view of stop
ping the heavy Redskin backs. The
strong scrub. however, had comparatively
little difficulty in working the ball down
the field. driving the varsity back time
and again until they had scored four
touChdowns on the first eleven, all made
by Avery.
Marshall, who made the sensational
touchdown that beat Michigan, was at
quarter back, and he will be found there
in the game with the Indians, as Craig Is
SO badly hurt that he will be unable to
play on Saturday.
Tomorrow evening the team goes to
White Marsh to remain until Saturday.
although little or no work aside from sig
nal practice will be done.
