LONELY TH0UGHTS

For my days are sad and dreAry
And the nights bring no relief.
For the one that ought to love me
Has filled my heart with grief.

Many strange things to see.
So as she treads this weary
World and stems the stormy tide,
May the gracious God OF Heaven
Fer be closely by her side.
May the gracious God OF Heaven,
or the land and OF the Sea,
The gracious God Of Israel,
Have mercy upon me.
For my life is sad and lonely,
As l stroll the lonesome hills,
And 1 often sit and wonder
And listen to the mill.

A football fan writes to the New York Globe as follows:

Ya1e's re- Progression, and Princeton's strange subservience to the other two. :?
 After reading the accounts of Sat- urday's game my ideas are more fix ed than ever. Guernsey was YaIe's hope. He was put out of business in the first quarter when he was thrown heavily out of bounds. I read that some of the Yale players complain that Dadmun's tackling in this play was "unneeessarily< rough" can you imagine a Yale team of ten years ago complain of rough treatment :? Gan you picture Tom SheY1in, for in- stance letting a Harvard team go Football conditions ehave undergone Ten years ago the public regarded Harvard football teams as wrist watch elevens. We had the idea that a young man who made the Grim son team was a member of some old Massay aychussetts family or he belong ed to the right fraternity. In those days football folks privately poked fun at Harvard's timid highbrow ef- forts to stop the Yale ruffians- The Bulldog fought in those days-fought from the drop of the hat Harvard made most of the complaints at the end of the game
