Nets were out in force, and they were
there in style. The Pru athletes won

BRICKLEY SURE To
FACE YALE ELEVEN
Harvard Captain May Not
Start, but Viii Play for a
Time.
STEVENS COACH RELEASED

While Charles Brickley will not
start the game on Saturday when
Harvard faces Yale, It is practically
certain that the captain of the Grim
son team will be permitted to play.
His physicians have given their con-
sent, and he has been working daily
with the substitutes in the scrin-
IMAGES. Perhaps it will not be nee
essary for Harvard to call on Brick
ley. but he is anxious to get into
the game, as it viii be the last in
mis- college football career. It is
matter of sentiment that will bring
him into the battle, according to
Harvard men, for they do not be-
lieve that their star viii be needed.
After the rehearsal at Harvard yes
terday the Crimson backs made
ready to advance on New Haven,
where they will work today at the
new Yale bowl. The probable lineup
of the two teams was officially an
nounced as follows:
Yale--Left end, Brann; left tackle,
Talbot; left guard, Conroy; centre,
White; right guard. Walden; right
tackle, Belts; right end, Stillman;
quarterback, Wilson; left halfback,
Ainsworth; right halfback, Knowles;
fullback, lie Gore.
Harvard--T. ]. Coolidge, left end;
Parsons. left tackle; Pennock, left
guard. Soucy, centre; Weston, right
guard; Trumbull. right tackle; Hard
wick, right end; Logan, quarterback:
Bradlee, right halfbaek; Mahan, left
halfback; Francke, fullback.

Almost on the eve of tho Stevens
Rutgers game, which is always an
important event in the football
schedule of the two teams, Stevens
Is plunged in deep gloom. The indigo
hue is not so much from the poor
prospects of a victory as the recent
stigma which arose from the New
York University game, when it was
discovered that a banished player
had been disguised by the stevens
coach and allowed to return to the
contest. President Alexander c.
HUMPHREYS, of Stevens Institute, was
quick to act, and Lieutenant Ayres,
coach of the Stevens team, will be
dismissed at once. Ayres, in his
anxiety TO win the game, allowed
his better judgment to be overruled
by his enthusiasm. He had no capa-
Bile substitutes, because football Is
played under great difficulties at
Stevens. The class standard of
every student must be perfect, and
the requirements are so strict. and
the time for practice so short, that
Stevens deserves unstinted praise for
the showing they have made on the
gridiron. Stevens feels the stigma

THE BIRTH OF A NEW MAGMA
CHARTA.

History has again repeated ltseli'
and while its repeating has not been
staged with all the panoply Of war
that market the original event, still
they are enough similar to justify the
statement that there was entered be-
fore the Oklahoma corporation COM
mission Tuesday morning rule OF
conduct which in its effect should be
and will be, as far-reaching to the oil
industry of the Healdton field, as was
the effect of its prototype upon all
English-speaking people.
II was the tyrannical character and
oppressive acts of King John which
aroused in 1915 the clergy, barons
and freemen Of England, to such an
extent that, united in one common
cause. they contended for rights
which belonged to all, and backing
their contention with a force of arm
ed knights and yeomen, they brought
about the victory of Runnymede on
June i, 12l5,-the Magma Charta.
1t was similar display of tryran-
n,cal character, Of oppressive methods
on the part of the modern King John
which caused the oil barons and yeo-
men of Carter county to enlist under
the gallant leadership of Writ Frank
lin and demand a charter of CONNER
cial freedom, and while it was large
" due to the wisdom, firmness and
energy of this new Stephen de Lang
ton that success crowned their Of
forts. vet We must not forget the fact
that Attorney General West and
Commissioner Henshaw aided in pre-
venting the death knell being sounded
over the Independent oil producers Of
this field Mr. West, by his magnifi-
cent grasp of the situation, and of the
law applicable thereto. was able to
so clearly present his case that even
the pipe line attorneys had to admit
the justice Of his cause.
The manner in which Commission
er Henshaw decided the legal and
equitable phases as they arose, marks
him as worthy Of the highest judicial
honors in the land l; was truly a
display Of eyen-handed Justice, such a
display as even Portia well might
envy.
While a great victory has been won
by the producers. they must bear in
mind the fact that eternal vigilance
is the price of life and unless they
maintain their organization and con
tinue their watchfulness, the routed
foe will again entrench itself and seel

Charta has stood the test of thes,
