HARVARD ourGuEssED VALE.

team. machine, beat Yale because of
its ability to put on its own game ana
to stop vale from doing the things 1t
had planned to do.
The Yale line from tackle to tackle
was stronger and better coached than
was the Harvard line, including these
positions. But Harvard did not try very
much to break Yalc's line, not until the
game was really won.
Instead, Logan drove his plays out
side, making the most Of Yale's too
closein ends and putting on an attack
that yale really never did size up until
well up the field when the secondaries
were closer to protect.
Yalc's attack got going several times,
but not often. The Blue had an offcnsc,
we'll conceived on paper and well put
on, save that all afternoon Harvard $
methods of defense seemed never to be
understood, or If understood Yale did
not shift its game to throw the Crimson
defenders off their guard.
Harvard sized up Nale's cross blocking
to a nicely. and kept on doing so all
through the game. Yale made two fine
end runs. in which the interference was

only flashes, while Harvard all day long
was catching the Yale defense off guard

TAKES -FOUR YEARS
TO RECOVER S2,36
Marvellous Red Tape Yarn UnfOlded in
Railroad CommiSSOn Office

Salem, Ore, April IA long tale of
red tape in the offices of the railroad
companies was unfolded and apparent
ly ended yesterday when the railroad
commission received from the South
ern Pacific a check for $2.36 payable
to one r. d. Whitman. formerly liv-
ing on r. F. d. No. I, Salem, but later
jefferson resident.
About four years ago. Mr.. Whitman
shipped some freight to New Sharon,
Iowa, where he intended to move.
Before the freight arrived at its des-
tination he changed his mind, and
ordered it shipped back. The freight
as billed at 40 pounds when shipped
to Ned Sharon, but at $40 pounds
when shipped back here. SO Mr.
Whitman entered a claim for IS. The
claim was sent to the railroad com
mission. and the railroad company
said Whitman still owed $1.35, instead
of having $S coming.
Then followed the endless chain of
red tape. and last September the COM
panY saw its mistake and refunded
$3.50. A month later they saw what
they thought was another mistake,
and wrote the commission asking that
Whitman be made to return "a cents
for they said he had been overpaid
that much.
This matter ran on until yesterday
when another letter was received by
the commission from the San Fran
cisco offices of the Southern Pacific
company, containing the check for
$2.36.
Now the commission would like to
find Mr.. Whitman, who was over so
years of age when the claim was first
filed.
