SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 1S.-Rugby football, as far as intercollegiate par, ticipation is concerned, is reduced to one considerable game this year = that between Stanford university and Santa Clara, on November II. which will be played in San Francisco.
 For their practice games during the season these two collegiate teams are forced to be content to make up their schedule with contests against three club teams which still retain Rugby organizations. These are the Olympic and Barbarian clubs of San Francisco and the Palo Alto club.
 What with these conditions, and the fact that Stanford is practically con. Ceded a victory over Santa Clara when they meet, general interest in the British brand of football is at a low ebb.
 With the return of other state uni, versailles and colleges to the Ameri. can collegiate game the public inter- est also has shifted, especially in view of the fact that the move has permit. ted of the staging of a number of intersectional games between Califor- mia and Northwestern teams, and teams of the Pacific coast against eastern organizations.
 Followers of football are interested in the ultimate outcome of the stand

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Oct 19 It is reported that the University of Ghent will open late this month or early in November as a Flemish in stitution, in accordance with the ideas of Governor General von Bissing, not withstanding the sharp opposition of the Belgian government at Havre.
 Anonymous circulars are being dis tributed among professors and stu dents calling upon them to boycott Ghent hereafter. The university au- thorities, however, have already se- cured fifteen Flemish and twenty-five Dutch professors, most of them quite unknown men, who have hitherto held minor positions in the educational realm. A number of distinguished scholars have declined the proffered posts. notwithstanding the guarantee of a high pension should they be

Tonight the Cordova fire depart ment will give a smoker, to which they invite all of their friends. The new band will be present, and render a number of selections, while the ath- letic program contains some athletic stunts that will be worth witnessing. The business people of the town are especially requested to attend, as this will encourage the fire fighters in the work which they are doing to make the property of Cordova safe from destruction by fire. The business men of the city should help in every way the fire department, as it is their pro lection that is looked after by this set of men.

Dr. Frank Angell, head of the Stanford faculty athletic commit tee, recently stated that Stanford would not return to the American code. until Interference" was elim- mated from that game. This is taken to indicate that the Palo Altans will cease to be factor in American foot ball history.
 Should there be any foundation for the many rumors that Santa Clara intends to return to the American game after the close of the p1 esent season when its two year agreement with Stanford expires, the isolation of Stanford will be practically com plete.

BLANTON AssAILs SMITH


Editor FL pasO Herald;
Yesterday at Millersview in Concho
county both congressman Smith and
spoke TO the large crowd present, and
he denounced my proposed plan to con-
struct a military highway along the Dor
der. stating that IL was "a useless Wast tie
and that the farmers of this part OF the
district could depend upon him to vote
against spending their money for such
"a purpose. He stated that the govern
ment had ample facilities in the South
ern Pacific railway to move Its troops,
and didn't need a highway.
I showed his utter unfamiliarity with
the border territory by calling attention
to the fact that in Preside county
alone there is a Rio Grande frontage Of
over 500 miles, the nearest point OF
which TO said railroad is over so miles
After hearing his speech can better
understand why our administration al
Washington waited so long before send
ing ample protection to our border, for
a representative in Washington is GER
tainly expected to be the mOuthpiece OF
the people in his district, and to a
large extent our president must have
been actuated by his advice
Intervention is now inevitable. and
I sincerely hope that our government
viii now act without further delay. for
otherwise the rights Of our border citi-
zens viii be greatly menaced- 1 have
just returned from a trip along the
border, and in my humble judgment
nothin short Of Intervention can fur
nish protection to our citizens Now
that Smith is absent from Washington
look for prompt and decisive action
on the part Of our government
Sincerely yorus.

TAXED To LIMIT
Supt. Pratt Locates Many
More Blind Pupils; Ap-
preparation Needed.

The New Mexico Institute for the
Blind, at Alamogordo. has closed the
most successful years work that the
institution has had. With an enrol
ment Of 81 pupils. It was crowded to
capacity throughout the session. r. r.
Pratt, superintendent since 1903. was
in FL Paso Wednesday. returning home
after a trip through New Mexico in
search Of eligible blind pupils.
while we have an enrolment that
now taxes our capacity to its utmost the
state has a compulsory education law
for the blind, and our board OF trus-
tees has instructed me to locate every
eligible blind child in New Mexico. We
have on file now the names Of 27
blind children which have been fur
nished by the several county superin-
tendents- These children are await
ing admission. On this trip / have To-
Gated ten who are eligible. and ought
to be provided for OF this number
several are among the p reported by
the county superintendent
Hopes To Get Larger Quarters.
ct is our hope to show 10 the next
legislature, by bona fide waiting list,
that an appropriation FOR a substan-
tial enlargement OF capacity is impera-
lively needed. The state DEGREES that
the blind children must be educated,
and in order TO make that statute ef-
fective. must provide quarters, accom-
mOdatlOnS and facilities for training.
The board at its recent annual meet
ing reelected the entire faculty, and
will add a teacher to the force. Recon-
mendatiOns for minor improvements
and betterments have been approved
by the board and will be carried out
during the vacation"
During superintendent Pratt's ad-
ministraticn OF seven years the school
has more than trebled its enrolment.
the faculty and working force have
been doubled. and the place has been
greatly beautified. The grounds now
contain big stretches Of lawn and
flower beds. patches Of alfalfa that
provide feed for the livestock. many
beautiful shade trees, and an orchard
is now being grown.
