Church recovered a tumble behind
Techs line. grabbed up the ball and
started for the Tech goal for touch
down. After running about thirty
territory, Church turned around, look
ed behind him and stopped almost
dead. That stop enabled Cuppy Farmer,
then playing quarterback for Tech. to
catch Church and make the tackle.
After the game Church was asked why
he turned around and stopped. His re-
ply was Il just wanted to see II any

Stories have often been written about
great moments on the gridiron, but
perhaps the most remarkable happen
ing in the history of the game was wit
messed In a Yale-Princeton game some
years ago, and the incident relates en-
tlrely to one player.
Up at Andover there was player
and his name was Kelly-who had no
toes on one of his feet. He left An
dover and entered Yale, reporting for a
trial on the foot ball squad. The Yale
coach looked over Kelly and asked him
if he did not have something wrong
with one foot. Kelly replied in the
affirmative. The coach thereupon in
formed Kelly that he had better not re-
port for practice again Kelly then
been given fair trial The coach an
swered: well. If you want to know,
we don't want any cripples around"
That incensed Kelly, and he left the
squad Immediately with the remark
that some time he would show that
coach about the "cripples"
Two years later Yale went to Prince
ton for the annual classic. On the
Princeton eleven was a halfback with
slight limp, and after he had aided
Princeton in scoring about three touch
downs he walked over in front of the
Yale eleven and yelled defiantly: You
didn't want any cripples around, did
you? Well. I'll show you about the
cripples. Wen now dispense with sig
nails. Yale, 1 am going through your
right tackle for yards. Now, Yale, l
shall take the ball through the center
for yards. and SO on Kelly went tell
ing where he was going. and he made
good each time until he crossed the
goal line.

NAVY ELEVEN IMPROVES.

Middies' Attack Shows Up Brilliant.
1v in Afternoon's pra ctica


ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 10
Nearly the whole of yesterday after
noon practice period was devoted to
scrimmaging at the Naval Academy,
the first team being allowed to keep
the ball throughout. The efforts Of the
coaches are to perfect the final back
field selection of Craig, Westphal, Da-
Wis and Martin, so that It runs smooth
ly and eliminates fumbling. For the
first time this season the Navy team
really appeared to gain regularly and
continuously on straight plays. Wide
runs around the end, with a heavy
Interference, were aiternated with
slides outside Of tackle. and the scrubs
were not able to stop the onslaught of
the regular team.
Martin and Craig made the most sub
stantial gains around the ends. while
Westphal and Davis were generally
called upon to take the ball outside of
tackle. Only fair success attended, the
use of the forward pass plays, The
team was generally able to put through
the plays based upon short. straight
pass, but the longer passes, aiming to
get the ball to runner who had pass
ed the secondary defense men, was
generally failure. There is little
doubt now that BlodSett Will be found
at left end, and Will drop back to do
the punting. In this department of the
game he is distinctly ahead of his COM
petitor, Won Heimberg, and he is one
of the best men on the squad in throw
ing and catching the forward pass.
For the third time this season the
teams of the first and second classes
played to a scoreless draw. They will
make another attempt to reach a deci-
sion, as the winner must play the third
class team for the interclass champion
ship.

YAKIMA SHIPPERS
OF GREAT NUMBER

A report of the O.-W. r. g. N. agent
the month of January there were 98
shippers of apples at that point. OF
this number 10 were accredited ship
pers, who have been doing business
throughout the year. The other 88
were independent shippers, not recoe-
nized by the railroad as shippers.
"This is a deplorable condition. "
says n. F. Davidson. "and one that
will lead to disaster. For the first
time in the history Of the fruit busi-
ness, however, bankers and business
men are taking an interest in the ship
pirg end of the apple industry. Here
after bankers and merchants are going
to be slow in extending credit to the
man who ships his fruit through such
channels as will not only be precarious
toshimself, but will menace the general
industry"

FRUIT GROWERS EX.
is CLOSING BOOKS

The Fruit Growers Exchange are
busy compiling their books in an effort
TO get the years business closed, re-
turns out to their members, and to get
the decks cleared for what they expect
to be bigger and better year.
Manager Mckay says: while an
other distribution could have been made
last week, returns have been coming in
so rapidly that we decided, as only
eight cars remain unpaid for. that we
would stretch the time few days, in
order to arrive at the exact cost Of the
seasons handling, and so be able to
close all pools with the exception of
Newtowns, which will probably also
be closed by the end of the month.
IF the Exchange had handled the
apples this season at cost of say five
cents. many of the growers would have
long since received final returns, but
inasmuch as we are charging the exact
cost of handling, this charge will not
be known until the seasons business is
finished.
lowing to the voucher system of
bookkeeping which the Exchange has
adopted, the details of which, while
entailing a geat deal of work, will give
the grower a thorough and yet a simple
means of seeing how his money has
been expended, the Exchange intends
to have their books audited by char
tered accountant, and complete state
ment sent TO each member, while at
the same time the manager will be
glad to show any of the members any
original data he may ask for
This may not mean much this year,
but it is in keeping with the principles
the new Exchange means to adhere to
strictly, in an endeav0r to give the
grower complete confidence. and the
full handling of his own organization.
'Inasmuch as the manager of the
Exchange has received numerous let
ters and queries enquiring into the
plans, pOlices, and mode of operation,
and inasmuch as many of the growers
have mistaken idea as to the control
and the governing of the Exchange.
the directions and officers will hold a

BERT VAN HORN is
WEALTHY APPLE MAN

e One of the most contented men in
America, according to a New York
publication, is Bert Van Horn, who
now resides at the st. Regis hotel in
New York city.
Bert Van Horns father owned an
apple farm in Niagara county, near the
Falls, composed of 400 acres. AS boy
he was brought up on this farm, which
has always been known as one of the
best in western New York. Bert
knew the apple game we'll. When his
father died the farm was sold TO a
member of the firm of W. o. & H. W.
Davis, of New York city, who still own
it, and il is a better apple farm than it
ever was. Nearly the entire 400 acres
are in.the best varieties of apples and
the farm is cultivated according to the
most improved methods.
Soon after Bert Van Horn got out of
| the farm he was out of steady job,
and not as well fixed as now. He was
we'll up on apples and apple lands and
had a general good business education.
Capitalists wanted an electric line
| from Buffalo TO Niagara Falls and Il
get this it was necessary to get right
of way from the farmers in Niagara
county. The promoters fixed upon Var
Horn'as the proper person to get this
right of way and employed him. He
got it all right. That was about q
years ago. After the right of way wat
secured the capitalists hired him al
superintendent of construction at sal
airy of $40, 900 year. He proceeded t
build the road and get it in operating
shape.
His sense of the possibilities of apple
production in Oregon led him to thu
Hood River section while he was con
nected with this railroad. He pur
chased an apple farm there on whicl
there were a number of good appl
trees. These he cultivated and pro
duced the varieties of fruit which hav,
made Hood River famous. ThisFwas. il

duction, and the fruit was so fine whe
sent to eastern markets and abroad
brought unheard of prices. Mr.. Va
