Cause for Doubt,

James A. Patten, the noted wheat
operator, said to a reporter in New
York:
Edward Box and other dress psy-
biologists declare that this var is
going to transfer the fountainhead OF
women's fashions from France to the
United States. Well, on the Finland,
on the way back home from the var
zone, / noticed a thing or two that
made me have my doubts.
For example, l was describing to a
group of women on the promenade
deck one afternoon the way the Bel
gians had ruined a road into Liege-a
road that blew up afterwards and
killed 5000 Germans. The women all
seemed interested in my description
and when ! finished it | said:
land now are there any questions
any of you would like to ask?'
"a pretty and well-dessed Balti-
more woman said anxiously:
"tCan you tell us, Mr.. Patten, II
Paris had got her fall fashions out
before the war came on?'"

husband and Miss Dorothy Swenson,

enIsged wife and slightly wounded,
Is recovering. Thus far no arrests
hal e been made in connection with
the shooting ARRAY, and it is probable
no arrests will be made, as none Of
the principals involved care to have
the matter aired in the state circuit

trailed the husband and his companion
to the kitchen of the George Zieger
home, near Hartford. With scarcely
any preliminaries the angry wife open

Moore was shot twice in the legs. The
Swenson girl ran from the room, but
not before a bullet had reached and
slightly wounded her, and took refuge
in the hayloft of a nearby barn, from
which she emerged when neighbors

YALE GOES FORTH

Harvard nor priilceton Has Made as Cool E2ac0rd az

(By Frank U. Menke.l

A glance at the football records of all the big colleges since the game ! was introduced shows what wonder ful recor dhas been made by Yale. Other college eleven at mics per | formed some startling stunts. but TO elevens, over a lCng stretch of years
 nave been as consistent winners as the elavns that hay fought under the blue and white standard Of Yale. Fccthall first was played at Yale in 1872, and since that time up to the tcday's game Yale mingled in 3S4 girdircn battle. Yale wen 2Si of those 3Si games, Was led ia 19 others only "A times over stretch Of t2 years have the Yale cciors been low cred in defeat.
 Yale has averaged defeat on an average of about once in two years. Yale in ZS4 games has lost but 2t-- an average of 15 victories to every defeat. Certainly Yales football rec ord is glorious enc.
 Since the game Cf football has been played Yale has won the undis- puted championship 12 times and on
 F c her occagions it went througn the season unbeaten but because one or two other teams w@re unboatG during those years Yale'5 claim te the championship was disputed.
 Neither Harvard Or Princeton, thc powerful rivals of Yale have records that can compare with Yale's when all things are taken into coDsideru- ton. Princeton began playing foot ball in 1869 and Harvard took Up tho game in 1874. Princeton's record for 46 years including the complete rec ord for 1914 shows 359 games played and of these 306 were victorious g ended in defcats and IA were tied.
 Harvard since 1874 and up to yes yesterdays battle with Yale has play ed 360 games Of these 3o2 were victorious, AZ defeats and eleven were tied.
 But thes facts must bo taken into consideration. Yale has played against both Harvard and Princeton almost each year since she started fec balling, while rinceton and Har- yard broke off athletic relations for stretch of nearly 20 years. That meant that during those 20 years Yalle played it's two strongest foes each year, while Harvard and l?rin~ ceton played only against Yale, Had Harvard and Princeton fouga5 against each other during all the years that they have been footballinS, it is certai nthat the records of each would have shown more defeats.
 Rutgers, the little New Jersey col 1ege, began playing football in 1S69-- the same year as Princeton and those two colleges are the pioneers in the fCCtball world.
