Numbering Players


One by one the big college football
teams have yielded to popular clamor
and have numbered their players. The
greatest triumph in this line was Sc
cured at the start Of the present sea-
son when the Yale officials announced
that their players would wear numer-
a1s.
It was felt then that the victory was
complete as Princeton had previously
adopted the idea. The boosters had
reckoned without Harvard. however.
The Crimson ig very conservative and
refuses to entluse over radical ideas.
The influence Of Harvard was seen in
the refusal of the Army to wear
numbers in todays clash with the
Navy. Lieut.. Charley DAILY, head coach
Of the Army, is former Harvard star
and he is said to have opposed the
idea
The Navy was willing to do something
for the public, but when the Arnry
decided to stand pat the Middies could
do nothing. It has been easier to
watch football at the Yale Bowl this
season because Of the numerals worn
by the Ell youngsters. The spectators
who support the game are entitled to
some consideration, but they seldom
get it. 1t is hoped that before next
season Harvard will see it's way clear
to fall in line with modern ideas.

COL. ROOSEVELT TO RAISE AND
LEAD DIVISION OF VOLUNTEERS

New York, June est was learned
that Colonel Roosevelt intends TO ask
the government for permission TO
raise a division of volunteer soldiers
for service in Mexico the minute that
war is declared and a call for volun-
teers sent out.
According to this information,
which came from reliable source and
confirms rumors that have been in
circulation for several days, the col
onel has completed his plans for the
raising of the division, and waits only
upon the calling of volunteers TO make
his offer to Washington. He will ask
for a commission as maj ajor-general.
Colonel Roosevelt has made his
plans after consultation with high mil
itary authorities, and they call for a
special division of $4,000 men, con-
sisting of four brigades-one of in
fantry, two of cavalry, one of field ar
tillery, supplemented by aeroplanes
and including engineers, signal corps
and hospital corps.
Has Been Planning For Months
For months the colonel has had
these plans in his head, for weeks he
has been working them out to the
smallest detail, against just such an
emergency as expected across the bor-
der, and for ten days quiet recruiting
has been going on in all parts of the
country by men TO whom the expires
ident has intrusted this task.
Many of the bigger arrangements as
the providing of horses have been
looked after already, and a declara-
ton of war with Mexico and call for
volunteers will be the signal for an
office to be opened for division head
quarters to be established, probably in
Texas, where the troops would be as
mbled.
All of the coloneTs plans are de-
pendent upon President Wilson. His
request for a commission as major
general, commanding a volunteer divi-
sion, can be granted or refused at
Washington, but his friends say that
President Wilson would not dare 10
gainsay such a request and would, as
matter of fact, be glad of the oppor-
tunity to accede to 1t and thus to place
an official ban of silence on the COL
onels utterances touching upon the
administration.
Colonel Roosevelt's friends are in a
quandary as to the exact status of
such request, as to whether or not
the granting of it depends upon the
President or Congress and as the col
onePs age-57-being a barrier to his
entrance into the army at the head of
body Of volunteers.

TWO WAR BRIDES

Military Weddings For Cap

Special to the Telegraph

Mount Gretna, Pa, June 28.-Miss
Elizabeth Du Puy Scott, Philadel-

heroine of a "'war" wedding last
night in the camp of the Second in
fantry, when she became the bride of
Captain Walton Clark, Jr., of Com

Captain and Mrs. Walton Clark are
away on a twenty-four-ho hour honey
moon extended to them by the grace
of Brigadier-G Price.
Company l. was lined up in full
arms and stood at attention as an
honor guard under command of the
senior lieutenant during the entire
service. The rest of the entire regi-
ment formed circle around the we'd
ding party and Colonel Turner, with
his staff and the relatives of the bride
and groom, stood behind Chaplain
McFetridge, facing the regiment.

On the eve of leaving for the front,
the entire Third regiment, of Philadel-

Anxious to Get Into the Fray

1t has been known for a long time
that Colonel Roosevelt was anxious to
get into the fray. It was known
weeks ago when he made the declara-
ton that if war came he and his four
sons and his son-in-law would take the
field. And when he was stricken with
a slight attack of pIeurisy less than a
fortnight ago he Immediately sum-
moned the best medical counsel he
could obtain and retired to Sycamore
Hill for a rest cure, his chief purpose
IN mind being to get in shape to lead
troops into Mexico if war came.
Since then he has held innumer-
able conferences at his home which
were generally supposed to be of a DO
litical nature, but many of them had
TO do with nothing else but the for
nation of his special division in the
event OF war. AS a result of these
conferences and as a result of the
plans he has been working over for so
long he is said to have listed the
names of the officers he will ask the
administration to give him as regi-
mental and brigade commanders.

Ell Paso, Tex, June 2S.-Four Mex.
ican armies, aggregating $4,000 men,
are massed in the State of Chihuahua
ready at a declaration of war to hurl
themselves with lightning swiftness al
the United States. Thirty thousand OF
this gigantic force are FULLY equipped
cavalrymen.
One hundred and fifty pieces OF
French artillery-75 and so millimeter
guns-are distributed among the
varied forces.
The Carranzistas hold as their bases
the most important strategic points in
the State, both for attack on the
United States and to repuIse an in
vading force from the north. All are
on main railroad stems of the district
with ample facilities for the reinforce
ment by one of another army. The
most northerly base, within easy strik-
ing distance of El Paso, is at Villa
Ahumada. This point, near where the
Carrizal fight took place, is located on
the Mexican Central Railroad, only SO
miles south of El Paso. Ten thousand
men are reported to be modified
there
$4,000 at Chihuahua City
At Chihuahua City, about $50 miles
further south on the same road, 5000
troops are massed. Still further south
OH this Hne-at Santa Rosalia - the
main forces numbering about 25,00C
men-are stationed. At San Antonio
about so miles west of Chihuahua City
the fourth army is positioned.
This vital military information was
brought to General Bell by nve Am
erican mining men who arrived here
from Parral. about $50 miles south o1
Chihuahua The men reported thai
they had been attacked by a Mexican
mob at Santa Rosalia and narrowly
escaped with their lives.

controversy was renewed with the re.

resulting in the murder of William

his wife.
The general sentiment seemed to be
that the incident demonstrated anew

Am erican frontier and would serve to
bring matters to a head quickly.

AT that, he might spring something
