YALE'S DEFENSE WEAK.
Scrubs Gather Ten Points, Finding

NEW HAVEN, Conn. October 2S.--Al-
though Yale's regular backfield and
Capt. Talbot were again missing from
the eleven at yesterdays practice. a
slashing thirty minute scrimmage was
ordered. Special attention was paid to
the varsity defense. and it's weakness
was again disclosed when the scrubs.
after running the ball 80 yards, scored
a touchdown. After gaining so yards
more they got Il goal from drop kick
by Wiser and after anneXing 40 yards
more found themselves SO near the
varsity goal that Carroll Knowles
averted touchdown by intercepting
forward pass at the 10-yard line.
When the varsity had their innings
at ground gaining they held the ball
from the scrubs kickoff to their 10
yard line until Waite, taking long
pass from Guernsey, leaped around end
for :, touchdown Putting the ball in
play in midfeld, the varsity's attack
was irresistible, until Knowles broke
through tackle for the second touch
down. The varsity third time drove
back the scrubs from the middle OF the
field to the 20-yard line. where. upon
being held until the third down, Guern-
sey attempted a drop kick. The ball
struck ScovilS shoulder, caromed be-
hind the goal and Fred Stillman fell on
il. The play was tried over and this
time Guernseys goal went high and
true, giving the varsity the days hon
ors by 1f-to-10 score.

GREGORY WILL DECIDE
RESERVE BOARD STATUS
Will Pass on Auditing Question
Which May Fix Bank Body's
U. S. Relations.

The intricate question of whether the
accounts of the federal reserve board
are to be audited by the government or
whether the federal reserve board 1t
self shall supervise its own accounts is
to be referred to the Attorney General
for decision. The question. incidental
iy. involves the status of the federal
reserve board as a function of the fed

mental activity in the nature of an au-
tonomous commission
Whether the government or the fed

counts was the question referred to the

status of the federal reserve board has
never been determined. considered that
the question of audit could not be set

Audit by the government means a
large saving to the federal reserve
though added labors would be put upon
the present auditing machinery. Audit
by the federal reserve board would
mean greater measure of independ-
ence in method of accounting and
greater freedom in expenditures, but
it would involve the establishment OF
an audit division, employing many
clerks and several officials.
Added labors for the government

Theater next week, commencing Mon
day evening.
1t was produced last New Year at the

The story is that of a modern Gin

which, like Cinderella, she fourishes
spiritually and physically despite abuse;
her romantic discovery by her knieAtly
cousin, her fairy1ike transfer to the
halls Of wealth and luxury Of the Brit

which separates her from the soldier
youth she loves, her tragic return to
Scotland. the final clearing Of the tangle
by a frightened villager on his death

lovers are the mileposts on the high
way Of the sparkling narrative.

What popularity the democratic
party may have gained because OF

largely offset by the fights over patron
age which have arisen within demo-

The arguments against the demo-

as follows: Democratic extravaganza
coupled with the war tax law; the
high cost OF living, which the demo-
Gratis have failed to reduce; the in

last argument is being used with tell
