the main reason that 1t has selected for It's coach a man not experienced as e coach of a big eleven. but ra- tner an unknown so far as the East Is concerned. Thorpe was considered along with several other stars, but the Columbia faculty demanded man who not only could teach fotball but must be member of the faculty cal culture. As almost all former Columbia stars are now in bushes, therefore there was none available. Columbia then turned West and se- experience has been gained with Ober- lin college. This makes still another
 big college coach added to the list who has yet to gain all his playing

 Ing connected with a big university.
 Metcaif Is great believer in speed
 and the Western progressive open
 style of play. He has, like Coach
 Rush of Princeton, brought East this
 breezy style of play. It is expecting
 great results in his first season, es-
 pecially. since Columbia, has been
 without football long, and is lack
 ing in experienced material and can
 only hope to, start slowly and grad
 ually to build up a system that will
 get results in the future. It Is doubt ful If ever any coach faced a more difficult task. He certainly will have
 the sympathy and support of all low
 CTS of the game, for the futurity of
 football at Columbia depends upon the method of handling his 1915 task. The great teams Columbia had up until 1905 are still remembered by football followers. Such men as Nor on the Blue and White team coached by Foster Sanford, which defeated Yale, were rated as two of the greatest backs who ever graced any gridiron. Weeks was picked as halfback on Walter Camps all time. all American team. His hnrdling the line was one of the most daring and spectacular | plays that the writer has seen.

 wherever football was played or talk ed.
 Of the present aggregation Miller
 at quarterback has the makings of

Who Moved This Tee?

Since the Dornick Hill Country
club was organized. there have been
some real golf enthusiasts developed
in Ardmore. but the champion bugs"
of the lot have been discovered.
One day a couple of weeks ago,
when every day was rainy day,
two woud-be golfers OF Ardmore
thought they saw the sky through
the clouds, and. thinking they needed
little practice, started out to the
Country club. As they started out
around the course, the rain began to
fall, and the further they went the
harder it rained BY the time they
had arrived at the third tee, the rain
was coming down in torrents and
miniature rivers were running over
the tee.
When they arrived at the place
where the tee ought to have been.
one OF the golfers stopped. looked
all around. and exclaimed: Il won
der when they moved that tee"
They have agreed between them
selves to consult the weather fore
cast before starting out again

"Dreary Stuff" Said Glssing.

G B. Burgin in the Bookman con-
tributes a personal recollection OF
George Gissing. whom he met many
years ago at a garden party In st.
Johns Wood "He was curiously, and
should think unconsciously, pic
turesque," writes Mr.. Burgin, his
loose, easy clothes and slouch hat
seeming a part of his own personality
more than studied pose. and looking
rather at variance with the smart get
up of the London crowd which filled
the little garden" During conversa-
ton Gissing alluded to the fact that
many authors wrote with ease and
facility, but" he added, Il grind It
out with infinite pain and labor"
When Mr.. Burgin limited that most OF
his material was saddening, Yes" he
said thoughtfully, Its dreary stuff

he has enjoyed for the past three
months in Texas.
Now, if there is one thing that Big
Chief" loves to do better than TO
hunt quail, it is to fish for game
fish. and while in Texas, he had his
fill OF real fishing. Late yesterday
afternoon an animated conversation
was heard emanating from the stair
way leading TO offices over the First
National bank. The voices were as
eager and as earnest as couple OF
school boys. and when, out of idle
curiosity, a friend CHANGED to peep

captured down on the coast.
From all accounts, there was some
fancy fishing done there, and If the
enthusiasm grows much greater it
would not be surprising to learn that
these two real sports had packed
their fishing tackle and were
on their way to the tarpon
ground. In the meantime it is a safe
bet that they are both at one OF the
numerous lakes about the city at this
very moment.

DAILY COST
Of WAR To
ENGLAND
ACCORDING TO CHANCELLOR OF
EoUER. IT is sio,5oo, 900,
AND II WAR CONTINUES ONE
YEAR, BILL WILL BE BILLION.

London May 4.-In one OF the
shortest budget speeches on record
he being on his feet a little more
than an hour. David Lloyd George
The chancellor Of the exchequer, Tues
day gave the British public further
insight into what the war is costing
the nation
The expenditure at present, Mr.
Lloyd George said, was slO,jO0 OOO
daily and he added that if the wal
! continues for a year Great Britain's
bill would BE- upward Of $1,000. 900, =
900. The debt Of the country, accord
ing to Mr. Lloyd-George. already has
been almost doubled and stands well
over the 5000 100000 mark.
The chancellor declined to predict
the length Of the war. He introduced
no measures calling for new taxes.
although he hinted that such a step
probably would have TO be taken.
There was little discussion OF the
budget itself and the usual income
tax resolutions were passed before
the house adjourned.
Mr.. Lloyd George said he was able
to report that the revenue Of the
country had exceeded the estimates
and that the currency tax and income
taxpayers were sending their money
with UNUSUAL celebrity.
During the evening Austen Cham
berlin mentioned the proposals for
increasing the taxes on beer, wine
and spirits which the unionists and
nationalists and several liberal mem-
bers declared their intention to op.
pose. Mr.. Lloyd George announced
that he intended to confer with brew
ers and distillers, and also that he
was open to consider their proposals.
He added, however, that he would
ask that the government be given
power to control the sale of liquor
n the areas where munitions OF war
were made.
Decrease in Beer Production.
The chancellor said that in Decem.
Der there was a decrease of 3S per
cent in the production of beer in
January and February a decrease of 90
per cent and in March a decrease
Of II per cent
On the other hand the chancellor
said there was an increase in the
consumption of spirits as follows:
December 3 per cent January per
cent; February l5 per cent and
March % per cent.
Mr.. Lloyd George estimated that
the total revenue for the year 1915.
1916 would be s1,35O,9lO,OOO. This
is an increase of s21S,19O,OOO over
the total of last year.
Dealing with the revenue for the !
coming year, the chancellor estimated |
the total from all sources would reach !
21O,382,O0 pounds He said that the |
fixed charge for the year would be |
like 10000 900 pounds. The
expenditure for the army would be
400 100000 or 6OO,OOO,OOO pounds, ac-
cording to whether the war lasted !
six months or year. On this same
basis the expenditure of the navy
would be 10O00O,0OO or 146O0O, 900
pounds He placed loans to Great
Britain allies at 2OO,OOO,OOO pounds.

ed along just as Anna fell down. The
bulldog sprang upon the child and
bit her face and head. Her brother
came to the rescue, and Miss Amy
Hammer, who saw the trouble from a
window, fastened to the scene and at
tempted to beat off the dog. The an
imal by that time had seized the
child by the hair and as it was i'm
possible to force him TO loosen his
hold, scissors were procured and the
hair the dog held was cut off. Inn
mediately the dog leaped at the child
again and followed her through d
fence where she was taken for refuge,
Finally the rescuers managed to get
the little girl into the house, where a
physician cared for her. The dog was
killed and the body was shipped to
