Dear Miss Fairfax: Will you please

pose? Is II proper IL a young lady goes
to an entertainment with a young man
that she should pay more attention to
this young man than the other young
men there? Is 1t right, after young

talk at the gate, or should they go to
the house? Is 1t proper for two girls
to drive quite a way to town alone? II

Eve has used her own sweet methods In

mately sounded, ana we can say that It's
most distant stars are probably not more
than 1000 OF 5000 light years away, a
light year being nearly 6oo,0Oo.OoO miles.

Princeton, \. J.. Nov. 14. The Yale
 football team defeated Princeton's $ eleven here this afternoon by score of l9 to H. in game which. for
 thrilling climax, riyaued modern stagecIaft at it's best Beaten back and scored upon with apparent ease. during the first three periods of play the Tigers tore oose with smash ins attack in the final l5 minutes of tle game and fairly riddled the Eii's line. Twice the Orange and Black swept across the Blue goal line and
 were fighting desperately for the third touchdown which would have given them victory when the timers
 call ended Princeton's chances and Ia.e's apprehensions
 Aside from their surprising flash of offensive strength in the last quar- ter Princeton was as completely out played by Yale as by Harvard a week ago. Tne wide open attack in which the Blne back field passed the ball from player to player in runs around
 the end then suddenly switched to the long forward passes appeared to be
 wider and dazzle the Tiger line and secondary defense just as much as
 the Crimson's close formation and concealed ball offense.
 From defensive standpoint the Yale first string team was never in
 danger from Princeton's attack and 1t was not until the second and third string substitutes went ill that the Orange and Black football machine
 could make consistent progress.
