Mrs oldfeld or Nance Oldfeld," as
she is familiarly called, was one of the
most charming actresses of the first
decade of the eighteenth century, and
during the same period George Far
quhar was one of the most brilliant
writer's of comedy. Mrs Oldfield played
the leading roles in Mr. Farquhars
plays and. for long time, they were
very much in love with one another
When a girl of 16 or Is, Nance lived
with an aunt. who keut the Mitre tav-
ern in st. James market, which was
the resort of authors, actors and men
of artistic professions. Farquhar, din
ing there one day. overheard a fresh
musical voice reading aloud with great
zest and vivacity scene from Beau
mont and Fletcher's "Scornful Lady,
The reading seasoned his repast and
after it he sought out the reader, and
found her young, handsome and clever.
1t was through his influence that Anne
Oldfield became an actress.
Although Farquhar seems to have
been seriously in love with Nance"
fortunately, no doubt for both, she pre-
lover. As for Farquhar, he married q
woman. who. having lost her heart to
him, caused the report to be carried
to his ears that a lady of great fortune
was dying of an unrequited attachment
to him. Impelled either by pity or by
self-interest, or both together, he mar
ried her to discover that she was as
penniless as himself. Yet it is told TO
his credit that he never reproached her
for athe deceit about her fortune. but
made her a kind and devoted husband
as long as she lived
The letters Farquhar addressed to
Nance Oldfleld, referred to her as "Pene-

Bic SURPRISE
Yale To Be in Fight for Top Hon
ors, Despite a Wall of La
ment From New Haven,
Bv J. W. McConaughy.

a
THE coaches at Yale are doubt
less astonished at the result of
saturdays game with Lehigh.
The score, as you may have noticed
WAS 81 to 0, and figuring on the line Of
.onversation that has emanated from
New Haven in the past ten days, the
coaches evidently expected that the
score would be about 7 to 3, with a
good deal of doubt as to which team
would be on the long end.
Of course, no one else is especially
sstonished, excepting, probably, the
caches of Lehigh, who ought to have
known better, but seemingly did not.
It was sadly and frequently an
nounced that injuries had shot the
Yale lineup into little pieces; that
there was considerable doubt about
center, both guards and the back
field. Then, too the coaches were not
at all pleased with the way the ends
we're working. Cornish, the quarter
back, was eliminated from the tale of
woe but it was also set forth that he
would not likely be used in this game.
II EHIGH, on the other hand, was
l. unusually strong this fall and,
barking on some shreds of fact in
these reports, most of the under
graduate body Of Lehigh pulled itself
INTO a special train and came down
10 see their pals take fall out of the
Bulldog. The ioea was that they
would score to a moral certainty, and
about 80 per cent of the visitors had
sneaking notion that Lehigh would
probably win.
The game chiefly demonstrates that
some of the smaller colleges still be-
lieve what they read in the newspa-
pers about the condition of the big
teams, as given out for publication
by the coaches. 1t also demonstrates
that Yale will be in the hunt as usual
next month
There were a number of features
that the coaches could not conceal
rom the public. Notable among these
was the playing of Brann at left end
He has been comparatively unheard
Of this fall, but his work, especially in
sprinting dCwn the field under the
ball stood cut.
Then the celebrated Mr.. Ketcham,
who has been shifted from center to
guard, commended himself to the
Judgment of the experts. There was
never any question about Mr.. Ketch-
ans ability, but he has been afflicted
with an unconquerab desire to wrap
himself snugly about such opposing
Inemen as come within his grasp,
contrary to the statute made and pro-
uded in such cases. But he kept his
clutches off the I.ehigh men with
great success.
w ILSON. at fullback, was a cause
for further rejoicing. He has
been trying this position only a week,
and seemed lost at it-according to
The coaches. Saturday it was his
dish, as the ball players put it. He
played fullback as if he had never
done anything else all his life And
Knowles, who did the punting for Eli
had all the best of the kicking duels
So for a broken down team, Yale
seems to be doing fairly well.

Heisman Writes About Rules

| tention in just this shape. Instinct
lively | knew there ought to be rule
covering the case, but never before
had l noticed it just that way In the
rule book. The points are well worth
bearing in mind.
EVER since the rule against hurd-
- ling came into existence there
has been much debate and specula-
ton among football men in the South
as to just what constitutes hurdling-
Notwithstanding the rule makes Sc
rious attempt to define the act.
In the Eastern colleges this con-
fusion does not exist, for 1t is well
known there just when and why this
rule was introduced. The point came
up at the time the great halfback
Weeks was playing at Columbia Uni
versity. Columbia had a play in
which Weeks, after getting the ball
from the quarterback simply ran to-
ward the line at a given spot leaped
high in the air and shot out his feet
toward the opposing rush line. AS he
leaped his backfield companions would
catch their arms under him, hold him
up. and smash him with both feet
foremost (and both CLOSE To-
GETHER) against the opposing line
using him literally as battering ram.
1t was a terrible play and danger
Gus in the extreme to the opposing
players. In endeavoring to legislate
it out of existence the committee
could find no other way or words to
describe it and similar methods Of
projecting both feet foremost than
those that now stand in the rule. But
such hurdling as Weeks did and as
was contemplated by the committee
when ruling it out has never been
seen in the South on any team, hence
we have difficulty down here in grasp
ing just what abuse the rule was
meant to correct.
Frequently we see a back making a
huge step over PROSTATE men in the
line, and forthwith half the folks in
the park set up "A cry OF hurdling. But
SO long as it is stepping 1t is NOT
HURDLING. If the runner thrusts
out one foot ahead Of the other. then
it is a step and not hurdle Hurd-
ling is really broad jumping, but
STEPPING Is not broad jumping
