CONTEST ON CR|DRON
BY HARVARD AND YALE
Assembly of Nearly $4,000 Specta-
tors at Cambridge-Crimson
Quickly Scores.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, November 90
The football elevens of Harvard and
Yale universities played their annual
contest on Soldiers Field this after
noon before an assembly of spectators
which just fell short of $4,000. The
huge horseshoe shaped stadium had
been made elliptical by the addition of
temporary wooden stands at the open
end, and long before the teams lined up
every available foot of space held its
share of cheering humanity.
From the towering walls of the sta
dunn could be seen thousands of parked
automobiles. At the score or more OF
entrances to the field were gathered
hundreds of prospective spectators who
had failed in their expectations of gain
ing admission at the last moment. In
these groups of disappointed enthusi-
asts ticket spectators found ready
sale for the seats in their possession,
pairs bringing from $40 to $50, ac-
cording to location.
Heavy gray clouds scudded across the
sky driven by high, cold west wind
casting series of lights and shadows
from the walls of the stadium onto the
gr1d!ron. The wind drove the kicked
ball in eccentric courses which made
the catching of punts very difficult.
Harvard won the toss and chose the
west goal, with the wind at their
backs. for the first period. Yale had
the kickoff.
The Harvard team scattered and
Guernsey of Yale prepared to start the
game.
The wind blew the ball off the mound
twice before Guernsey could kick it.
The ball went to Watson, on Harvard S
10-yard line.
Harvard Scores.
Mahan punted to Bingham, who
muned, and Hart. grabbing the bound
ing ball, dashed 33 yards for the first
score of the game.
Score-Harvard, s: Yale, O.
Mahan failed to. kick goal
Before long Harvard had scored an
other touchdown.
Mahan kicked goal. Score-Harvard,

Secretary Lansing Not Ready to An

Secretary Lansing is not ready to dis
of the investigation of the activities
OF Consul General Won Nuber of Aus.
tria. and others associated with the
consul general, in connection with
American munitions plants and ship
ments. 1t was evident today, from the
continued reticence of the State De-
partment officials, that whatever action
finally is taken by them. the announce
ment will be at the same time as the
announcement Of the prosecuting
authorities, if they get grand jury
action.
Secretary Withho1ds Plans.
So far Secretary Lansing is carefully
Withholding the State Departments S
plans. to which he is giving very Sc
rious concern Copies of all the. re-
ports made in the Won Nuber and other
cases are being regularly sent over to
him from the Department of Justice,
whose agents are probing into every
detail available to them. The official
statement of the Department of Justice
mentioning Won Nuber's name rather
surprised the State Department Off
cials.
They are not ready, however. to talk
and all they had to say today was that
they were not ready to discuss the
question, that the evidence is being re-
ferred to them, and that there Is moth
Ing to prevent prosecution of a consul
general or consul under federal statutes
If the evidence warrants, through the
federal authorities in the particular
consular district, which in the voI
Nuber case would be New York.
Will Call for Summary Action.
If the federal authorities bring about
Indictment of YOU Nuben mentioned in
that connection along with other
Austrian and German official repre-
sentatives in this country, Secretary
Lansing will Immediately cancel the
consul generals exeQuatur and notify
the Austrian government of the action

respect to any other officials whose
cases might be the subject of grand

LAME POSTAL SERVICE.

Philadelphia, New York, in fact most
of the large cities are complaining
about their poor mail service, which is
all charged up to the new tangled sys-
TEN Postmaster General Burleson has
has introduced. In Philadelphia the
mail service has been so rank that the
Board of Trade protested to the de-
partment at Washington. An inspector
came along, and after prying into con-
ditions agreed that the complaints
were more than justified. Did he
straighten out matters or suggest
measures of relief? He did. He sug-
gested that the business men in the
big downtown office blocks who had
suffered most should rent boxes in the
postoffice and have boys to go there for
their mail. In other words, if they
were not satisfied with the manner in
which their mail was being delivered,
they could deliver it themselves.
Incompetence in this department of
the government is most pronounced 1t
has piled up deficit of nearly 500, 900. =
900, which the head of the department
is attempting to blame on the railroads,
who, he claims, are overpaid for the
transportation of the mails. Boston
and Chicago have lodged complaints
similar to those of Philadelphia and
New York. What is the reason for
this dislocation of once perfect SER
vice? It's not congestion owing to the
booming business of the country, for
the Postmaster Generol points out that
most of the deficiency in his depart
ment is charged to the falling off in re-
ceipts for first class postal matter.
