HARVARD
EXPECTS
By George r.. Holmes

NEW YORK, Nov. 10. - The
climax of the 1915 football sea-
son--one OF the most wierd the
East has seen in years--will be
reached tomorrow at Cambridge
when Harvard and Yale resume
their age-worn scramble on the
gridiron.
1t matters but little, apparent
ly, that each team has been de-
feated this year, and is longer in
the championship running. The
Yale-Harvard game is THE game
OF any season, principally because
its the Yale-Harvard game.
The game tomorrow can hard
ly be termed a battle. 1t Will.
barring, miracles, be a massacre.
with Percy Haughton's big Grim
son eleven on the prodding end.
Harvard has been defeated this
year-the first time in three
years. but the Crimson demon
strated two weeks ago that II
still has man-siEed wallop In
either mitt by defeating the best
eleven Princeton has put out in
years.
A tremendous crowd will see
the game. Old Harvard grads
will trek back to Boston to gl6at
over q Yale licking. Yale grads
will so back to hope. and after
hppe is gone, to ruminate over
the old days. when the Blue was
roosting on the topmost pinnacle
OF football fame. The football
game isn't so important its the
occasion. That II what makes r.
the big game OF any season.

BLYTHESVILLE TRAIN STAYS
]. H. Mcpherson Told No Other
Changes viii Be Made.

President ]. H. Mcpherson Of the
Commercial Club returned yesterday
from st. Louis where he had gone to
confer with Frisco passenger traffic
manager, A. Hilton, concerning the
matter Of withdrawing certain pas
senger trains from daily service.
Mr.. Mcpherson was advised that the
Blythesville train would be retained
as long as the business would justify
its operation, and that if at a later
date it was decided to discontinue it.,
the Cape Girardeau Commercial Club
would be consulted before decisive &C.
ton was taken.
Mr.. Mcpherson was informed that
when business conditions had improv-
ed sufficiently to warrant, the Pop
lar Bluff train would again be placed
in service.
He urged that as many men be kept
in employ as possible until business
improves or the commission takes
some definite action in the matter Of
increasing the freight and passenger
rates.
