A SERIOUS PROBLEM

The question of legislative re-
apportionment is one of the most
/ important and dangerous problems
before the legislature. When the
state constitution was framed no
one dreamed that such a large pro-
portion of the population of the
commonwealth would reside in cities
as is now centered in Seattle, Spo-
fane and Tacoma. 1t was therefore
provided that the legislative appor-
tienment should be based on popula-
ton and revised at stated times. For
The past several sessions of the legis-
latare the solons from the three big
tltlts OF the state have been invoking
this constitutional mandate.
On first thought it might seem
that considerable advantage would
result to these cities by a re-appor-
'ionment About one-fourth. of the
people OF the state reside in Seattle
ai'c approximately another fourth in
spokane and Tacoma. /; follows
'aat on the basis of population these
'fee cities are entitled to a COM

ia'ufe' BY uniting their forces they

YALE LOST ITS GREATEST
IDOL WHEN SHEVLIN DIED

college football That was in 1910. Ted
Coy, captain of Yale's 1909 eleven, was
coach that year. But he was not sue
cess, and after the team had been beaten
by West Point and Brown and held to Il
scoreless tie by Vanderbilt some one sug-
gested that hurry-up call be sent to Tom
Shevln. who was then in Minneapolis,
where he was n volunteer coach to the
University of Minnestota's eleven, coached
by II. L. Williams. an old Yale star.
The Minnesota Shift
While with Williams. Shevlin saw the
operation of the Minnesota shift" which
Williams invented. This was the play he
took to Yale. Although he had less than
a week in which to perfect 1t for Prince
ton, he gave this play to the Els and
broke all precedents by scrimmaging the
men every day. Princeton had a first
class team; but Shevln's enthusiasm and
the Minnesota shift did the trick, for
Princeton was outplayed and beaten, 5-3.
Although Harvard had had an opportu-
nifty to see the new play in action and,
therefore, to prepare for 1t, the Ellis man
aged TO hold the Crimson to a score Of
90.
Shevlin had his second test this fall and
it was more severe than that of five yeE IS
ago. Yale had been beaten by Virginia,
Colgate and Washington and Jefferson
when Shevlin appeared on the scene. He
at once started the rejuvenation of the
Yale eleven. and in one week reorganized
the team so that II held Brown to a score
of to 0. The next week came Princeton,
and the Tigers We're trounced l3-7 II is
true that Princeton fumbled enough to
have lost to almost any kind of team
yet the Shevlin spirit haC a lot to do
with the result.
But not even Shevlln's personality could
make Yale win from Harvard, for the
Crimson had a wonderful team and bene-
fitted by two weeks rest since the Prince
ton game administered to Yale the worst
defeat a Blue team ever sustained. But
the Ellis were satisfied with what Sheylin
accomplished. He will ever be one of
their most cherished athletic idols.

VALE and the intercollegiate world lost
i one of their greatest athletic heroes
in the sudden death of Tom Shevlin yes
terday. Shevlln was the type of man
who fairly radiated an enthusiastic per-
sonality, whether it was on the athletic
field, on the campus or in the classroom.
He was n natural leader, and everybody
liked him.
In an athletic sense, Shevlin, of course.
was greatest as football player. lie
went to Yale from the Hill School. When
he tried for the Yale team he played
nearly every position at one time or
another. First he was a tackle, and he
even played guard. Then the coaches
tried to find his right place In the
back field. Finally he was transferred
10 end. Instantly he became an All
American star, and his great speed and
strength made him terror to all op-
ponents.
Great Hammer ThrOwer
Shevlin's second major sport was track
athletics In this he threw the hammer
was one of the best for this event the
Ellis ever produced He was always
point winner for the Ellis i'm the inter-
collegiate championships. and repre-
sented Yale in the international meet
which Yale and Harvard held with OK
ford and Cambridge.
Shevlin was a millionaire in his own
name when he entered Yale, and he was
said to have made a lot more in the
lumber business since his graduation.
During his undergraduate days he was
constantly doing kindnesses to his fel-
low students. More than one Yale man
has Shevln to thank for gifts which
saw them through college. And sheylin
was the type of man who saw TO 1t that
his benefciaries never knew who their
benefactor was.
But famous as Shevlin was as an ath-
lete during his undergraduate days, he
won even greater fame later as an anna
teur coach. He was responsible for one

pennants for the Athletics, so Miller Hug

Jimmy Brannigan, age II, born and reared

The Cardinals represent st. Louis in

Bob travels from coast to coast an

Connery dropped this:
"You send me through every minor

queried Bob. well, I'll tip you off to

Naturally Huggins was curious, and he
asked about the latest phenom. Con-
