COURSE PLANNED
Country Club Players Plan Larger
Course and Have Surveys Made
for the Purpose.

Cow pasture pool at the Country club
is to be expanded. The members Of
the club, who are golfingly inclined,
are having surveys made for an en-
largement Of the golf course from nine
to Is holes in order that the golfers
will get a good run for their money
One plan is to have the additional
course run down the arroyo TO the
southwest, and the other is to petition
the fort authorities to set aside a free
zone through the F'irt Bliss reserva-
ton This was done when the original
course was surveyed. but when the
cavalry came to the post the ground
was needed fro drill ground and the
course was shortened to nine holes.
The expenses OF the addition to the
course will be borne by the golfers and
not by the club.

p EW HAVEN, CONN, Nov IL
NJ Yale and Harvard are confront
= y ed with two great issues in
their annual game this season. For
the moment the result Of the classic
has assumed secondary Importance.
The main topic Of discussion among the
respective fOllOwings of the time hon
Ored rivals entirely eliminates the fl
nal result; each university is entirely
absorbed with its idOl-"Lefty" Flynn
or Charley Brickley, according to
whether the Blue legion or the Grim
son host is gathered together.
Brickley is one Of the greatest backs
that ever dOnned mOleslzin for Cam
bridge. He is one that that-he is one
Of the grandest players of al gridirOn
history Competent critics have de-
clared him the most capable warrior
of all time Still the Princeton battle
is but one Of many, and football repu-
tatiOns are more easily shattered than
built up.
His worshippers maintain that
against Yale he will be even better.
such form would undoubtedly prove
detrimental TO the chance of Lefty
Flynn, brilliant as the latter may be.
Against Princeton Brickley was all
that could be imagined He seldom
failed to make his distance through
goals from all distances and from all
angles with an assurance almost I'M
canny. Extensively and defensiveIy,
like the plume of Navarro, his head
gear flashed in the thickest Of the
hight, before his rushes the foe always
gave ground
Flynn Must Face Test.
Flynn, too, has won his epaulets. But
not after the fashion Of Brickley. The
Crimson back, should he quit tOmOr-
row, would have achieved hOnOrS
enough for one year. Lefty" has
never been put TO the severe test
through which BrickIey passed with
flying cOlOrs.
The Yale fullback acquitted himself
very nObly in his only important game
so far-that against the Army. His
punting was phenomenal; his charging
Irresistible; his running back Of punts
through a broken field superb in the
extreme. One thing only stood be-
tween Flynn and perfection, he showed
a tendency to tumble in tight places
Yale followers excuse this fault as
minor detail of Flynn's real debut
They have some grounds for argu-
ment. too. as it was the only occasion
when the young giant showed any

The biggest dog show ever held on
the Pacific coast is scheduled for Seattle
April II, II and Is. Entries from
all parts of the country will compete
for a representative prize list. The
best collection of thoroughbred dogs
ever gotten together will be on exhibit
ton, as indications are that it will rival
the New York show, if not in size, in
point of quality. The Seattle Kennel
Club is back Of the April show, and as
it is affiliated with the American Ken
mel Club it means that all winners will
have to be animals of the very highest
quality.

AN OLD STORY REToLD.

ZxFFHEN the Father OF his Coun-
NV try was a boy
w He received a little Ratchet for
w toy.
And he very soon was show
ing
That its use he well was knowing,
For he did lot of chopping stunts with
joy.
He got busy with his Ratchet on the floor,
And on every side he piled up chips ga
lore;
Then. with little Ratchet flashing,
Chairs and tables he was gashing,
And when tired of that he chopped the
kitchen door.
Being scolded for the havoc he had made.
Little George to his fathers orchard
strayed.
There a cherry tree was growing,
And, with pride of conquest glowing,
George again got busy with his trusty
blade.
Just about the time the tree came down
kerfap
Little George glanced round and saw his
angry pap.
He remarked, There's trouble brew
ing,
And thereTI soon be something doing.

He must Tess right up or falsehood giibly

But the sturdy little chopper
Told the truth and saw his father proudly
grin.

dad,
And at first I had good cause for getting
mad,
But you've made full confession
And without the least depression,
SO come to my arms. my truthful little
lad"
1t was thus that little George acquired
great fame.
Which in later years brought out his
lands acclaim,
For his splendid reputation
Won for him such appreciation
That the leader of the nation he became.
With this story goes moral all can see
When a little boy chops down a cherry
tree
He should never think of lying,
But with truth be satisfying,
And perhaps the nations president he'll
be.
Theodore H. Boice
