EXETER WILL SEND
 SEVEN MEN TO YALE

Although football is a84t11ings of the past at Exeter. it is neVertheless gratT flying to Yale alumni to have the fact made known that of the eleven men who, made their letter in the annual Andover- Exeter game. which Exeter won by the overwhelming score of 59 to. 0, seven will enter Yale next fall
 This should give the sons of Eli a fine start in the fall, of 19f4 for fast and heavy freshman team, and the chances look good for all of these men to make names for themselves in co.'s 1ege football before their graduation
 Captain Kelley, the former Mercers- berg Academy star; is one of the men to signify his intention of going to New Haven, and in this chap the New Haven college should find all around star, with the football team securing the first right to his services through his size, quickness and adapt ability to the present game
 Com erford,- Black McGrath,. Bolton, Neal and Bingham are the remaining six football men who: are to make ale their alma mater and, it goes without saying that individually and -collective ely these young -hustfers are as fine a lot of grfdiron warriors. as ever left any preparatory school at one time.
 It is possible that Tom Enright, the former Fall River High and Worces- ter Academy football star, will enter Yale along with the other seven of his teammates. If such is the case, then Harvard will lose a man who at the start of the season was scheduled to journey to Cambridge after his pre- paratory days were over. s:
 Enright had signif1ed his intention of going to Harvard early in the school year, but of late has showed a prefer ence for New Haven, and it Is ,cer- tain that whichever college secures this young giant, it will have ABrickley'' to depend upon.

PROSECUTION FOR
 DRIVERS WHO LEAVE
 HORSES UNBLANKETED

A time limit of 10 minutes has been set by local agents of the Connecticut Humane society for the standing Of unblanketed horses on the streets dur ing the cold weather. It is intended to vigorously enforce this, according to the announcement of Agent Alex ander Howell today, and violation will make the driver or owner liable to prosecution.
 This plan is based on Chapter 1881 of the, laws of 1911 concerning the neglect of animals, agents contending that it is neglect to allow a horse to stand longer than 10 minutes in win tery cold without protection, especially after the horse has been driven and is sweaty.
 Agents report that there are many violations noted daily and that they intend to demand that there, be- a change. S. A. Gardner of New Haven, general agent of the Connecticut Humane society, is 8 visitor in Bridge port today eonferring with local agents concerning a number of cases now under investigation.

RITCHIE FAVORED IN
 BOUT WITH MURPHY
sRy T. $. Andrews:o

2
 Willie Ritchie will engage in a light weight title match at San Francisco, tomorrow, when he meets Harlem" Tommy Murphy, over the marathon route The weight will favor the champion by at least three or four pounds and this will mean much to Murphy. If the battle had been stag ed a few years ago when Tommy was at his best, he would be given a chance but as it is there seems nothing but @ Ritchie victory. Willie has all the advantages, both in|height, weight, reach and age. Tommy's defeat of Ad Wolgast will not cut much figure, as the coast fans are pretty good, judges of fighters and it is almost. a an overwhelming favorite. F It. is like ly that Joe Rivers, since his defeat of Leach Cross, will get another chance at Ritchie. Negotiations are also. un- der way for a. 20-round battle be- tween the champion and Pal Brown, upon the latter's return from 4Austra- lia. Brown recen ntIy~d defeated Hughey Mehegan, the. AustraIfan champion in a. hard 2O-round fight.
 The no-decision contest between Charlie White and Johnny Dundee at New Orleans, in which opinions varied very much in the papers, has brought Dundee to. the front as a light weight hope and also placed White among the best of the real 133- pounders. Both these boys have graduated from the feather weight ranks, but have, been just a few pounds shy of the light weight limit. They have shown the class, however, and should improve still more. A 2O-round battle between them would be interesting.

USE LEG BONE TO
 MEND BROKEN BACK

New Britain, Conn.,, Dec 9.-wilson Hancock, formerly a plano player in a motion picture theatre in James town, N Y, is at his home in this city with a broken back, waiting for physicians to cut a piece of bone six inches in length from one of his legs and graft it to his spine.
 The physicians agreed that the oper- ation was the only means of saving Hancock's. life, and on their advice the young man decided to take the risk The oper ation will be performed in a few days
 Following an automobile accident at Canajoharie N. Y., Hancock was taken to the Post Graduate Hospital in New York City, when it was discovered that his back was broken. He was brought home and for the past two months his back has been supported by a steel network.
 As he did not wish to remain an in valid all his life, he asked physicians if there was a possibility of mend1ng his spine. They pointed out the only way feasible, and he told them to pro ceed when they chose.

FORMER BARKEEP
 WINS PROMOTION
 IN MISSION WORK
Almost Ruined By Intoxicants, He Has Given Up His Re- claimed Energies To
 UnfOrtunates

In the little chapel of Bridgeport Christian Union, The Little Bank Street Lighthouse" Saturday night there will be a, memorable service, two anniversaries and a farewell beinG ob- served. The anniversaries, will be those of Assistant Superintendent Harry Kfatzig, who took up his duties a year ago at that institution, and of William Holmes,- who will have kept the faith for 12 months. The farewell will be that of Assistant Superintend- ent Kratzig, who yesterday rendered his resignation for the purpose of en- tering 8 wider field of work. A few days vacation has been planned and during that time he will decide as to which of several offers he will accept. One Is to assume charge af leading institution in Newark, N. J., the city of his birth. This naturally appeals to him. Other offers have been re- ceived from leading New York ch1rch- es to take charge of their branches in the slun1s of that city.
 Another anniversary for Assistant Kratzig is being arranged for the night of December 21, this one to take place in the little chapel of the his toric Jerry McAu1ey mission on Water street, New York It was in this that he accepted the faith and laid the foundation for future work in be half of the down and 'outs.P'
 Both in his work among unfortu- mates and several times as acting pro batdon officer, MT. Kratzig' has pos sessed a peculiar influence for good. This is credited partially to his per sonal magnetism and also to the fact that he went the pace,'' knows the trials of looming back and the temptations met by the convert. Be- fore liquor got it's hold he had the distinction of being one of the best barkeeps in the country, having charge of the cafes of some of the leading places in the country, among them be- ing the Waldorf Astoria, in New York. Then he began slipping and the time came when he was unable to get work. Discouraged and seemingly a, human wreck, he wandered into the Jerry McAu1ey mission one cold night three years ago. The contrast was marked on account of the nearness to Christ mass and the general joy of humanity
 The young people of the First Bap- tist church will conduct the services at the institution Thursday night and a special program has been arranged

SMOKING in Winter.

A physician of note asserts that
smoking has a worse effect on most
people in winter than in summer, and
he advises all smokers who find their
health and mental faculties impaired
in winter for no apparent reason to
accept tobacco as the explanation and
to cut down their smoking during the
colder months.
Tobacco, he says, is very powerful
drug and cannot be consumed in large
quantities without producing certain
effect on the heart. 1t must be re-
membered that during the winter the
heart has a great deal more work to
do than in summer, for the cold causes
the blood vessels to become small and
pinched. 1t is thus less able to bear
the extra strain put upon 1t by smok-
ing.-From the Family Doctor.
