BIG SHAKEUP TAKES
PLACE AT HARVARD

Cambridge, November lit was a
changed Harvard varsity eleven which
went through practice in the stadium
today. AS result of their observa
tions of the Crimson team in action
against Princeton last Saturday, the
coaches gave 1t a shaking up that was
almost general. Changes were made in
five positions, but only one man was
dropped-Cowan who played left
guard, being relegated to the subs
Hardwick was moved from left half
back to right end; Captain Storer from
right end to left tackle; Hitchcock
from left tackle to right tackle and
Gilman from right tackle to left guard
The strong defensive game of Bradlee
substitute back, in the Princeton
game was rewarded by giving him a
regular position at left halfback
Soucy at center is regarded as sub
stitute, the place being held open for
Trumnull, who Is expected to get into
the game again tomorrow. There was
no scrimmage this afternoon.

of a woman in city where he was
once a pastor, who was continually de-

old boy was becoming almost unman-

easily understand why that condition
existed because he was passing that

shall the secret Be ToId?

0ndll LnG ScCTSI DC tOlll
Fran had expected Robert Clint0n's
return in four or FIVE days, as had Grace
Noiv. but secrets that have been bur-
led for many years are not picked up
in a day. However, had the chairman
of the school-board returned the day
after his departure, Abbott Ashton
would have met him at the station.
Twice, in the opinion of Fran, the
young man had failed her by allow
ing Grace's mind to flash to impor-
tant discoveries along the path Of his
insulated remarks about the weather.
This third test was more equal. since
he was to deal with no Grace Noir--
merely with a man.
AS Litfleburg had only one railroad,
and it a branch it was not difficult
to meet every train; moreover, Miss
Sapphira's hasty notes from her
brother kept Abbott advised. At first,
Miss Sapphira said, 'It will be a
week" later-"Then days more-and
the business left like this!" Then
came the final bulletin: 81 may come
tomorrow. Look for me when you see
me-"
What the secret was that Abbott
must prevent Clinton from divulging,
he did not care to guess; doubtless
the picture of Gregory's past, with its
face to the wall, might be inscribed,
Some other woman" For surely
Grace Noir was some other woman.
With these thoughts, Abbott met the
evening train, to see Robert Clinton
hastily emerge from the solitude he
had endured in the midst of many.
Robert was in no pacific mood, and
when he found himself almost in the
arms Of Abbott, his greeting was bois-
ferrous because impatient at being
stopped. Abbott, knowing that Robert
was not ordinarily effusive, thought,
"He has the secret!"
Robert shook hands without delay
ing progress toward the waiting hack,
bearing Abbott along on waves OF
greeting.
"But surely you are not going to
ride!" Abbott expostulated.

But | have business with you, Mr..
Clinton, that can't wait. Come, walk

leg without advancing. "Oh. very

systems.
He looked out beyond the universe
the air In South Africa is very clear
but his telescope discovered In those
far-away clouds called "nebulae,"
which some astronomers suppose to
be star-systems in process Of forma-
ton. Many of these nebulae are spir-
al-looking. and the conjecture is that
they are whirling around and around,
condensing themselves into solid
globes. on which life may later ap-
pear.
The number Of stars. according to
Prof. Innes, is limited, falling far
short of the number of people on the
earth. He estimates the mass of the
universe as equal to 441,0 900 times the
mass Of the sun. That is to say, the
combined mass OF all the globes, big
and little, in the universe Is as heavy
as 441,000 sums. OF stars 100 times az
massive as the sun there are 800; Of
stars ten times as massive as the
sun there are 5000; Of stars equal
In mass to the sun there are 100000;
and Of stars smaller than the sun
there are 100000, 100000 Of which
are one-tenth the mass Of the sun, S.
100000 are one one-hundredth Of the
suns mass, and 1O,000,000 are one one
thousandth Of the suns mass There
are besides small stars in scattered
clusters, equal in the aggregate to l.
900 times the suns mass.
1t is probable that majority Of the
stars, ne adds, have a greater sur
face brilliancy than the sun. Thus, as
in tho solar system, nearly ali tbs
mass is contained in few bodies, the
large majority contributing but slight
ly to the total The stars are well
mixed as to sizes, small stars occur
ring where there are large ones and
large stars being found where small
stars are numerous.
Prof. Innes' other conclusions are
that there is no serious absorption of
light in space, that it is improved that
the sun and stars radiate into empty
space, and that the existence of dark
suns is quite without demonstration,
not one being certainly known.
