HARVARD WANTS TO PLAY
YALE IN FOUR SPORTS.
Crimson Wants to Make a Clean
Sweep.

They hope and pray at Harvard that
this is to be the year of the clean
sweep. when Yale will be behind the
Crimson in every major sport contest
in which the two rivals clash. But
Yale always has a way of squirming
out of a season of successive defeats
and Harvard knows it must wait until
the latter part OF next June at least
before its trophy room is damned with
the trophies taken from the enemy in
blue.
The customary football chastise-
ment has been delivered, so Harvard
has nicked one place on the years
stick. But there are the hockey and
baseball series. the track meet and the
crew race to be competed for before
the ultimate reckoning of the athletic
spoils can take place.
Harvard looks good in hockey. This
sport is in the major category at Cam
bridge. although it is not given so high
a ranking by Yale The Ellis, neverthe-
less put on strong combination, and
the new ice rink at New Haven has
had a tendency recently 10 give bet

close enough to have the disqualified

SYSTEM FOUNDED ON EFFICIENCY
Haughton Originator of Crmson's Football Machine-Too
Five Years Lay Foundation and Three to Show That
No Other Could Equal 1t.

Harvard needs Haughton in 1916
more than she has during the past four
years. With a squad lacking any in
dfVidua1 stars among the backs, and
with but one star linesman, the Grim
sons great hope lies in Haughton as
head of the system which he has built
during the past eight years-this sys-
tenn which is part Of Harvard's football
but which needs its originator at the
head-this system founded on eff
cheney"
Team Football.
Haughton football means team"
football, and the individual stars are
but stepping stones to the highest
point of efficiency that can be reached.
Percy D. Haughton has laid the foun-
ttion of system by which the great
It possible efficiency can be reached,
nd this is why Harvard teams are
generally superior to other elevens.
That is why even with the somewhat
poorer class Of material that will be
available for 1916, Coach Haughton will
be able to put a team on the field for
the big games that will work just as
smoothly and probably just as power
fully as the one this year
There are two extremes in football
systems-one which plays up the indi-
vidual and builds the teams about him,
the other which subordinates the indi-
vidual to team work. Both are obvi-
ously inefficient. The system which
P. D. Haughton uses at Harvard takes
the happy middle course and team
work is founded about the best quail
ties of the individual. This gives every
individual an opportunity to do his
best, to become a star for the time be-
ing, and yet makes team work a neces-
sary and fundamental quality of the
machine. For this reason the term
"Haughton machine is the wrong ex-
mr. cyin nm To h - To-
wards eleven. unless the human ele-
ment of the combination is under
stood.
Five Years to Lay Foundation.
1t took five years to lay the .founda-
tons of this system and three to show
that no other could equal it. There
have been disappointments and many
slips, but in every case the efficiency
of the Harvard team dropped and was
responsible for the setback The most
recent case is the Cornell game, in

Five Years to Lay Foundation.

Dealings Were Fairly Large and
Broad, With Prices Higher.

New York, Dec. 24-Less than the
usual holiday apathy pervaded today s
market, dealings being fairly large and
broad, with an average of higher
prices. Railroad shares were plainly
helped by the overnight decision of
the Interstate Commerce commission
which granted increased freight rates
for many important commodities to
carriers in western and southwestern
territories. U. S. Steel, the market
leader, rose rs to 81 ga. Only a
fraction under its maximum of the
last five years and coppers hardened
on the fixed qUotations-21 IA for
domestic and 81 1-2 for foreign de-
liveries.
New York Central again led the rail-
ways, its advance of a point to 108 IL

current movement. The shares of
subsidiary roads of the New York Cen
trail and Pennsylvania systems also
strengthened and better inquiry was
noted for the southern group.

TELEPHONE INCREASE IN
DETROIT DURING LAST 10
TEARS WAS 456 PER CENT
xceedney Heavy Traffic Has Given City the Distinction of
8 If Having Highest Calling Rate in United States;
656l3 Stations at End of August

Of labor and materials, telephone
rates have remained stationary dur
| ing the last ten years. In this re-
spect. the Michigan State Telephone
Co. occupies a position unique
among the great business enter
prises of the country. IL Is easy
enough for the ordinary mathemati-
clan 10 figure ont that under the
present schedule of rates for unlim-
tied service or all telephones and
with the number OF exchanges grow
ing steadily, an increasing burden
Is being placed on the company
without commensurate return. The
use OF each telephone increases as
the number OF telephones In use In
ereases. During the last ten years
the number OF telephones in use In
sDetroit has increased from 1925 70
1858, bar the telephone subscriber
has not been asked TO pay any more
for the vast volume OF possible con-
nectiors today than for the compar-
atively small number ten years ago.
The Michigan State Telephone
Co. has learned by experience that
as the traffic per telephone In
creases. the number OF telephones
that can be satisfactorily answered
by each operator decreases. so that
constantly increasing number OF
operators must be provided without
any corresponding increase in rev
enue per telephone. Heavier trafnc
per telephone, plus fewer telephones
handled per operator. plus higher
wages per operator. Is costing the
company for operators pay roll in
excess OF s40o. 900 per annum more
than In 1910, without any CORE
spending increase In revenue. Other
operating expenses have also In
creased as they have in all lines OF
business, because OF increased sal
aries. wages, shorter working hours
and higher cost OF materials.
