HARVARD BIG MARGIN

As we recall the figures, In
the last four years Harvard has
score 112 points to Ynle's o.
the scores being 20 to y, Is to 8,
80 to U, and IL to o. In the
same four years Harvard has
scored less than 80 against
Princeton, yet Yale has had all
the better of Princeton In the
four Tiger-Bulldog contests.
Yale has played her poorest
games against Harvard, and
Princeton has done her worst
playing against Yale. Part of
this has undoubtedly been due
to the fact that Princeton had
to meet Yale Immediately after
the Harvard gone, while Yale
had tn meet Harvard Immediate
~ after the Princeton game.
That one Saturday rest for Har-
ward has been quite II factor;
but not enough To take anything
away from lInrvnrd's undoubt-
cd superior power.-I'oston Her

HOW YALE SIGNALS STARTED
Quarterback Twombley Of 's2 and 'sa
Comments on Work Of Walter
Camp In Alumni Weekly.

The delving into Yale football his.
tory by Walter Camp has uncovered a
number OF interesting features, not the
least Of which Is the use Of signals by
the Ell elevens In the days of long
ago. In commenting upon this work
Henry b. Twombley, quarterback on
the Yale teams of 1882 and 1888,
writes to the Alumni Weekly on old
Yale football days as follows:
"Walter Camp Is right In his first

According to an authority who keeps

Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Pennsyl-

showed profit of something over $780,

SOLDIERS HOME
TO HAVE MOVIE
SHOW EVERY DAY

Hartford, Feb. 17.-Major John H.
ThacIler of this city. a member of the
Soldiers hospital board of the Sol
diers' Home at Noroton, reported to
Governor FIolcomb yesterday that the
executive committee had made a con-
tract with ANEW York concern to fur
nish $50 mattresses for the Institution.
1t will be remembered that one of the
complaints which was recently inves-
tigated related to the fact that the
beds on which the inmates of the
home slept were not furnished with
mattresses.
The number contracted for will be
sufficient to furnish the institute on,
so that in the future every inmate
will have a comfortable mattress to
sleep on. Governor HoIcomb was
glad to hear from Major Thatcher that
definite steps had been taken to car
ry out the wishes of the board that the
inmates should be supplied with mat
tresses
Major Thacher afterwards saw
Comptroller Webster and asked him
if he had any objection to the pur-
chase, for $500, of moving picture
outfit for the entertainment of the
veterans in the home. Comptroller
Webster had no objection, but said
he would prefer to have the board of
control pass on it. subsequently at
the meeting of the board the comp
troller brought the matter before his
colleagues. the governor, treasurer
and attorney general, and it was
agreed that the board had nothing to
do with it.
It was entirely within the prov
ince of the board having charge of the
home. In expressing their opinion
the members spoke sympathetically
and said the old soldiers in the home
were entitled to some recreation and
that there would be no objection to
the spending of $500 for a moving
picture outfit.
The governor approved a bill of
$4,000 for the care of the veterans
and $2.658.27 for the care of Spanish
War veterans.

$3.50, 100000. At the present rate of
shipment the next four months would
see this total doubled even if produce

production is declared to be growing

Canadian Churchmen

The first Canadian to receive the
red hat of the College of Cardinals
was Elzear Alexandra Taschereau, who
was born in Ste. Marie de Ia Beauce
Quebec, ninety-six years ago today,
Feb II, 1920. The first bishop of
Quebec the immortal Laval, was ap-
pointed in 1874, and his see covered
nearly the whole of North America.
while Quebec thus early became an
important center of Catholicism in
North America, it was not until thirty
years ago that an Archbishop of
Quebec received the biretta of the
Sacred College. Cardinal Taschereau
was educated at the Seminary in
Quebec, founded by Laval, and at
Rome, and at the age of twenty two
was ordained a priest at Quebec. At
ter many years as a member of the
seminary faculty, and as superior of
the Grand Serninaire and rector of
Laval University, he was consecrated
archbishop of Quebec in 1871, and in
1886 was made a cardinal. The
present Archbishop of Quebec, NCardi-
nal Begin, who received the red hat
in 1914, was coadjutor Of Cardinal
Taschereau a quarter of a century ago.
The first Canadian cardinal died in
1898.

SWIMMING RECORDS

It was five years ago today that
Charles M. Daniels, the two-1egged
fish of the New York A. c., establish
ed his worlds record of 1 minute 50
3-5 seconds for the 150-yard swim at
the Yale Natatorium at New Haven.
This record stood until last month,
when Herbert E. Vo1lmer, of the New
York A. G., set up a ne wone of 1
minute 29 AS seconds. Vollmer, like
Daniels, made five turns. Duke
Kahanamoku, the Hawaiian, covered
the distance in 1 minute 81 seconds
in Australia, surprising the American
and English records established by
Daniels, but Vollmer's feat surpassed
them all. The greatest progress made
in swimming is shown by the 15O-
yard records of recent years. In 1900
E. c. Schaef made the route, five
turns, in minute, 81 80 seconds.
This stood as a record until 1908, when
Charles RuberI reduced it by exactly
seconds. In 1907 Daniel cut the
time down to 1 minute, 81 20 sec
onds, and later lowered his own time
to the record established fvie years
ago
