refused to accept anything. ''Take them with my comp1iments,'' he said. You may be in position to return the compliment next year,
 Although Capt Wilson of Yale was regarded at the beginning of the sea- son as too heavy for quarterback the failure of the other Quarterbacks to come through has made it necessary to send Wilson to that position from halfback. Thompson looked like star in the Maine game but his show ing in later games proved that he looked promising in the first contest only because Maine was weak.
 Prof. H. R. Reiter, head of the phys ica1 department at Lehigh, denies his players were too rough in the Yale game. He says a number of Yale men were in questionable physical condition when they entered the contest. Guern- sey of Yale was hurt, Prof. Reiter says, because he dfved over the line and landed on his shoulder. F'The game was stubbornly contested de- clares Prof. Reiter, 'and there were times when feeling ran high. But at no time did I see any unnecessary roughness.''
 Dadmun, a former Tufts college player, is making good on the liar yard line. He has been changed from guard to tackle in order to bolster up the line for the game with Virginia next Saturday. The crimson expects to have trouble with the team that beat Yale.

Local fans probably do not know that Pitcher Ernie Shore of the Red Sox almost became a member of the Bridgeport club once. Shore was dis covered by a Giant scout in a fresh water college down south. He seemed to have ability but was so green that McGraw decided he needed more sea soning.
 Gene McCann, who was managing the Bridgeport team at the time, was in need of pitchers so he took hur- ried trip to New York. He called upon McGraw who offered to send Shore to this city The youngster by this time was getting homesick and refused to stay with the Giants or be farmed out. He said he was going home and he did. Later Jack Dunn, who was lead ing the Baltimore clnb, took Shore and made such a winner of him that the twirler was sold to the Red Sox for a big sum.
 Arrangements have been made for a bout in New York next March between Jim Coffey and Champion Jess Will lard / They placed the date far enough ahead. Must be waiting for Willard to recover from riding around the ring in that circus.
 St. Mary's college, a little institution in Oakland Cal, played an important part in the worlds series. Dutch Leonard Harry Hooper and Duffy Lewis of the Red Sox are graduates of the college and Eddie Burns, the Phil lies catcher, also learned his baseball there.

Dumas was writing extremely inter

particularly occupied with some Of the

an he made some remarks about the

1T is our common habit in France. -
he wrote, ito laugh at serious things.
1t is often our habit-especially in mu-
steal comedies-to laugh at serious
things.
But, according to Dumas, the only
right attitude is to laugh at things
which are not serious. and which
make no pretension of being serious.
When We are face to face with a
grave social danger it is very Gu
rious sort OF wisdom which dismisses
such subjects with a laugh.
There is. of course. a touch of ped

and there was certainly a good deal

In these articles it is hoped to give
practical points and methods of irri-
eating.
Setting Dams-In setting canvas
dams the all of steel rods saves labor
and ditch banks. They are SO used
successfully in this neighborhood on
the Coy ranch half mile northeast Of
Fort Collins.
Their water is applied in heads of
three and four feet per second from
bitches three feet and more deep, and
no soil is dug from field or banks to
weight the laps of the canvas. The
irrigators find the dams are much cas-
Ter set and lifted and are more stable
than when set the old laborious way.
The rods may be made of round
half-inch steel which costs 31a cents a
pound, about six cents for four-foot
rod, or preferably of broken hayrake
teeth, which are stronger, lighter and
cheaper. The teeth may be hammered
straight when mildly heated, and eff
fectively welded by tapping the ends
an inch or more. They are of self
tempered steel and are not seriously
weakened in mending. They should be
shaped like the end-gate wagon-bec
rods, sharpened and slightly Longer
than the ditch is deep.
How to Use the Rods-Fix some
large eye-screws into the back side Of
the dam pole and stick a rod through
each eye and down to the rear and
under the bagging part of the canvas
The rods are placed from six to ter
inches apart, depending on the depth
of the ditch. Sew stronghold loops tc
either front corner of the canvas anc
through each loop press one Of the
rods, leaning them up stream and thus
pin the canvas lap to the bottom Of the
ditch.
