Among the twenty-five survivors of

among the twenty-nine rescued from
the second cabin there were also
eight women and one child. OF the
lO1 persons saved from the steerage
four were women.
Among the fifty passengers left in
Rimouski were a number who were
so i'll or SO badly injured that they
had to be taken to the hospital
Special praise was given the heroic
work OF DR.. James F. Grant of Vic

the saving of large number of per-

ever, reflected the news from the Ca
madam border city that essentials of
Mexican pacification plan had been
agreed upon between representatives
of General Huerta and the United
States, but that some subjects still
were under consideration before a
protocol actually could be drafted for
signature.
Officials generally admit that the
basis of the plan of mediation is for
the establishment of a commission
government or junta to be composed
OF provisional president and four
cabinet ministers who would be neu-
trail in so far as political affiliations
are concerned To this provisional
government Huerta's power would be
transferred pending an election.
That the basic plan has been CON-
municated to the constitutionalist
chief, General Carranza, and his ad-
visers, was admitted here. Although
Carranza and his adherents still are
not party to the mediation, it was
pointed out that after the mediators
had determined upon the disposition
OF the Mexico City government, de-
velopments might arise which would
involve negotiations with the consti-
nationalist forces.

Victory Of Army Over Navy Climax Of
Season of Gridiron Surprises
How Teams viii Shape Up

With the Army beating the Navy at

the football season. when the game
ended, was registered. The midship-
men, with their brilliant record in the
early season games, were the favorites.
but they were toppled over as Dart.

favorite over the Indians.
These two surprises were as start
ling to many football followers as the
showing earlier in the season by Col
gate, and the showing the Tigers made
against Harvard. which many thought
would have an easy time disposing of
the Orange and Black
Then came the Cornell Pennsylvania
game, in which the Ithacans gave the
average follower of the sport a Jolt
when they triumphed over the Quak-
ers, gaining their second victory over
the Red and Blue in the long series.
The Indians paraded through the sea-
son with good record, and there are
some who claim they are entitled to
football honors in the east, hut this is
the honor Harvard men are claiming
for the Crimson. Dartmouth, too,
would have been out with a claim to
that intangible astern title had the
Green beaten the Indians. This was
the only Dartmouth defeat of the sea
son.
Gridron dopesters, now that they
can get no more surprises for year in

men by graduation in June. Yale. on
the other hand will lose six men in

Captain Storer, O'Brien and Hitch
cock will leave Harvard on graduation
day. AS these men played on the line,
the star Crimson back field of Brick
ley, Mahan, Bradlee and Logan will
be left intact. The graduation of
Captain Storer and Hitchcock will
leave the two tackle positions vacant,
and there are no substitutes who have
won their letters in this position
Only three substitutes who have won
their H" will be graduated.
Captain HOBBY Baker Phillips and
Emmons viii be the men lost to
Princeton by graduation, and while
their loss will be greatly felt by the
Tigers the coaches have some good
material in the substitutes and from
the freshman eleven to fill their places.
Harvard may have to shift its line to
fill the holes due to the graduation Of
Storer and Hitchcock, unless this
years freshman tackles show up well.
Yale viii lose Captain Ketcham,
Pendleton, Marting, Warren. Avery
and Ainsworth, played on the line.
MacLeish, Hubbard, Arnold, Brann
and Way won their letter this year as
substitutes in the line, aud the coach
es believe that they can be made into
a strong set of forwards. Talbot and
Carter viii be the only regulars left
in Blues line
The back field will have plenty of
material. Ainsworth will be the only
man to be graduated, leaving Knowles,
Wilson and Guernsey in their old posi-
