pastime last Saturday indicate that
Thomas jefferson Coolidge Sd, OF BOS-

That is. the colleges win. They win

The public was of course completely
oCtclassed. 1t was practically dlstran-
chiSed at the start by the absence OF
the numbeS-, and was never thereafter
to be seriously considered, but the
newspapers put up a game battle.
The colleges thought they had an ace
in the hole in the location Of the press
stand. They thought in the first
place, that the polling booth was too
far away from the field for the news
papers to keep track of the rapidly
shifting returns; and that in the sec
ond place, all publications would be
suppressed by refrigeration before the
end of the first period. Nevertheless,
the argus eyed PRESS was in there light
ing to a bitter finish. If the players

been nothing to it.
one victory for the Press.
That business about Thomas Jeffer-
SCI Coolidge, IT., was a distinct trt-
uniph for the newspapers and the col
leges were clearly discounted. Thomas
JEFF was not only unnumbered, IKE
all the others, but there were two
COolidges in the Harvard squad, and
Toms initials were suppressed IN the
program.
The colleges did not believe there
was a chance Of his identity being made
public when he pulled off that long
run They even had gent with a
1negaphone up in the press stand Civ

We do not intimate that this mega
phone gent was in cahOOts with the
colleges, but we do claim that he was
as wrong as Benedict Arnold in some
OF his prOclamations.
We have conned most of the New
Crk morning and evening papers and
several publications from Boston and
New Haven, and we find that it will
probably require a public lnYesuga-
ton and confessions from a lot Of the
young men implicated to get all the
dope on this numbered diversion, and
we trust that when the inquisitiOn be-
gins everybody will fully consider the
claims of our man, Tack HardWick,
connection with that tumble in the
second period, which gave Harvard
her second touchdown, and which is
furnishing one of the closest races in
the returns. It seems that we stand
all alone in our support of Tack"
but we still contend that he is a fine
young fellow and deserves much at the
hands of the people.

little doubt about Francke doing the

uncertainty as to the party who did the
fumbling.
