FORDHAM PREPARES
FOR GEORGETOWN TEAM

New York, Oct. 1S.-Fordham is making
its bid on the gridiron this season with
great aerial attack of forward passes
and team unusual for its aggressive
ness. Up in the Bronx they attribute
the teams success to its "ightin spirit"
How could 1t be different when the teams
coached by Gargan and Moriarity, ard
Bull Lowe. Andy Dempsey, Callahan
and a few other fighting names in the
list Of players.
For scoring purposes Fordham's best
play is a clever manipulation of forward
passes that go shooting over the heads
of the opposing eleven like so many
Whitehead torpedoes. The Maroon, using
their aerial attack, scored two touch
downs in seven minutes against Western
Maryland. and while the visitors were
on guard against them. These passes
are regarded as Fordhams best bet
against Georgetown on Election Day, the
one game the uptown footballers are most
anxious to win.

SCRUBS EASY FOR
HARVARD REGULARS

Cambridge. Mass, Oct 1S.-The Har-
ward varsity continued its rough handling
Of the scrubs this afternoon, scoring
three touChdOwns. The regulars still
maintained a strong offensive and the
few times the second team was in pos
session Of the ball they found their op-
pOnents unmovable. Crawford Blagden,
a former tackle and once Harvard rep
resentative on the rules committee, join
ed the coaching stafr for a few days
visit and took hold OF the line men.
Another capable rush line coach to help
Bob Fisher has been sadly needed and
Bla Edens appearance even though tenn
pOrarily was hailed with satisfaction.
Eddie Casey again outshone the field
this afternoon, making several long runs,
on one Of which he covered forty-fve
yards, following it with ten-yard rush
for a touchdown. Wilcox, who took
Caseys place at full back, made a thirty
five yard run, two PLAYS before Burnham
was hustled across the scrubs goal line
for the first OF his two touchdowns.
Tho final touchdown followed straight
football rushes. the ball being carried
from midfeId across the scrubs goal line
Davis started at left guard, but was IN
action only few minutes, when Dadmun
replaced him.

SAVING VETERANS
OF ARMY ELEVEN

Westport, N. Y. Oct. 1S.-The mid
week practice saw some strange faces
on the varsity eleven again today. AL
though all the big fellows were back
in togs except Gerhardt and Ferd. who
are injured, the coaches sent Captain
McEwan, Oliphant, Meacham. Place and
Vidal to the side lines during the heavy
work. House was at end for Ford.
Parke was in for Meacham at guard
and Chapman played center for Nc
Evan. Murrill drove the team at quar-
ter. with Harmon, Green and Cole
making the back field.
One touchdown was scored by the
varsity and Oliphant was called in to
try a placement goal from the fifty
yard line, but missed by inches. The
detachment of artillery beat the cadets
CulIum Hall team, to 0, in a hard
fought game on an adjoining field

CORNELL TEAM IS
GIVEN LONG DRILL

Ithaca. n. Y, Oct. 1S.-The Cornell
varsity and second team scrimmaged
for more than an hour this evening, the
coaches keeping them at it until after
dusk.
The varsity scored twice, but could
not hold the scrubs in defensive tests
from the 2-yard line. Tnley was
tried out for a short time at guard,
the coaches planning to use him there
for a time, though he may be changed
to center later. Hoff, one of the new
end finds, showed up well at left end
on the varsity. He is fairly heavy and
looks as If he would develop speed
He pleased the coaches by his close
following of the ball grabbing the
leather when Brown blocked a punt
and scooting sixty yards for a touch
down. Practically all of the varsity
men were in the lineup today.

the repetition of the rumor that

team and intended to transfer the
club to Brooklyn.
1T is just a repetition of the ru-
NOR that we hear every year" he
added. THE Washington club is
well supported and is making
money every year. If there was
any thought of transferring the

be Brooklyn, because consider
that the poorest baseball town in

FISH CULTURE SUCCEEDS.

Systematic attempt to establish
the quinnat salmon in New Zealand
waters was first made in 1899. It
was decided to concentrate efforts on
one river on the east coast Of the
South island-the Waitaki river. For
several years after that large impor-
tations of ova were made, and in
1907 it was found that the fish were
returning from the sea to spawn.
Since then their numbers have been
found to be increasing yearly, and
the inspector now states that the
plumber of running fish this year was
much greater than since the COM
mencement of the experiment. It
was also found that there was large
run of fish up the Rangitata river,
about seventy miles north of the
Waitaki, and some had found their
way even farther north. The largest
quinnat salmon yet caught in New
Zealand weighed over thirty-twt
pounds.

DEATH RECALLS OLD SCANDAL
Late Stephen w. Dorsey Accused OF
Being Leader In "Star Route"
Fraud.

The death of Stephen W. Dorsey,
former United States senator from
Arkansas, at Los Angeles a short
time ago recalls the "star-route scan
DIAL" in which he was accused Of
being the leader, the Kansas City
Star remarks. Star routes were mail
routes in the West and Southwest
where there were no railroads or
steamboats, to carry pouches.
During the Hayes administration
ring of contractors, who bid on
carrying mail on these routes, and
politicians, through favor, secured
control of the routes and by expedit-
ing the time required for trips over
the various routes and by increasing
the number of trips far beyond the
needs of the service brought about an
increase in the compensation allowed.
Also contracts were sublet contrary
to law.
Stephen W. Dorsey was alleged TO
have been leader of the ring and to
have put through such legislation as
was needed by his influence in con-
gress. The fraud cost the govern
ment more than four million dollars.
President Garfield called for an in
vestigation soon after taking Office.
The alleged combination was brought
to trial. At the first trial two men
were convicted, but the jurors after
being out three days were unable to
agree concerning Senator Dorsey. A
second trial brought his acquittal
after jury elaboration of day and
two nights.

color. They had a stiff, formal dahlia,
that looked like statuette carved
out of colored soap. We have dahlias
almost as beautiful and graceful "a
the rose. The whole race of rambler
roses is new; so are the rugosa roses;
the Darwin tulips are things Of yes
terday-and it is only little more
than fifty years since the first golden
banded lily lowered on American
soil. Yet who can imagine q perfect
garden without one?
The old-fashioned garden of today
is the olden spirit working with new
materials. It ought to be, and in
time it will be, more beautiful than
anything our ancestors ever knew.

that it is about to receive a hearing
in the United States of America
And now three of our chief indus
trial states, New York, Massachu-
,etts and New Jersey, are discussing
sickness insurance bills under the
more optimistic name, "health insur-
mce."
These bills spring largely from a
common source and are almost iden-
tical in terms, says the New Repub-
lie. If they pass, the manual worker
,r any other employee with salary
under $1,000 year will be assured
medical and surgical attendance and
nursing through period of sickness
extending to six months; medical
and surgical supplies up to cost Of
$50 and money benefits equivalent to
two-thirds of his wages for a period
not longer than six months. In re-
turn for his advantages under the
law he will be forced to contribute,
in the ratio of his earnings, toward
two-ffths of the aggregate cost of in
,urance. His employer will contrib
ute another two-ffths and the re-
naming fifth will come out Of the
state budget.
