METER NIGHTMARE
SPECTER TO BOARD
Water Manager Just Settling Down
to Another Campaign When
il Bobs Up.
REAL ESTATE MEN ARE PEEvED

The Water board is starting the
new year with one hard nut to crack.
Fred ID. Wead. the new chairman, be-
lieves the time has come to dispose
o. the meter situation which has been
more or less OF nightmare since the
city took over the plant.
When the city bought the plant
from the Omaha Water company
there were about $500 householders
who had meters installed without
cost to them by the old company,
these meters being included in the
invoice and considered property Of
the city.
When the new regime began to ins'all
meters tho policy adopted was to charge
the householder an arbitrary amount for
the meter. which would become his rep
orty. or give him tho option OF paying a
monthly rental of 10 cents.
Problem Presented.
Now comes the situation OF 900 house
holders using meters installed by the old
company, but not paying the city either n
purchase price or rental for them.
Chairman Wead believes this is mani
testify unfair TO charge the new patrons
and let the others so without charge The
board Is rather up against IT, To make
the $500 pay at tins late date will arouse
quite howl, which Manager Howe
wished TO avoid.
From the very first OF municipal owner
ship OF the water plant there has been a
vigorous kick against the system OF in
stalling new meters. Some contended be
fore the board that the price asked by
ManaRer Howe TOR ms ters was ex esslve
Now the time has come Chairman
Wead believes. &c thrash this matter out,
and IL there are any inequalities to ad-
just them so that tho board will not con-
tinually be sought by disgruntled patrons
May Come 10 Terms.
At the next meeting OF the board a
proposition will he made to place the $50
water users mentioned on the same basis
as those who have had meters installed
by the present management II this plan
should be adopted. which seems likely,
there will be more grief ahead for Man
ager Howell VINO was just beginning to
feel settled again and getting ready for
another political campaign.
Life is just one thing after another, -

also been noted by the defense of the team has been better than usual this Autumn. There have been certain flashes in the Tigers play that lead to the belief that the eleven has more at it's command than it has revealed to date and its ardent adherents are counting upon the team to close its year with a surprising revelation in the way of a scoring attack.
 The Yale eleven did not move as smoothly early in the fan as the Or ange and Black but the Blue has been gathering momentum rapidly in the past few weeks and is a formidable foe at the present moment. The Elis have demonstrated that they have both a strong offense and defense and are capable of coping with either the ground or aerial system of advancing the ball The play has been marked at times by uncertainty and lack of consistency but each game has shown improvement The Princeton com bination appears to be a better foot ball machine but it is doubtful if it has the potential strength of Yale and should the play enable the Blue to find itself early in the game it will prove a hard team to defeat.

PRINCETON, N.

Teams from the two univer- sities first met in 1873 when American football was in the making and each season since 1876 has seen a renewal of the struggle Tonight the series stands twenty-two games to ten in Yales favor with nine contests tie and the total points score: Yale 245; Princeton 179.
 Regardless of the overwhelming margin of past victories piled up by the Blue, the Princeton town and gown is just as enthusiastic and con fident in the ability of the Tiger to overthrow the Bulldog as though the series had always resulted in defeat for Yale.

 Gridiron Play = Harvard
 Brown Game Is Uncertain.
(ey Review Leased Wire,

NEW YORK, Nov. 17-Chief inter- est throughout eastern football cir cles will center on the outcome of the .Yale-Princeton game tomorrow al though there are many other contests scheduled which promise to develop close and high class gridiron play. Harvard will meet Brown; Syracuse. faces Colgate; Cornell tackles the Massachusetts Asgies: Army lines up against Springfield; Pittsburg plays Carnegie Feet, and Navy clashes with Villa Nova.
 Many of these games are the spe- cial struggles for which the elevens have been pointed throughout the sea son and as the contesting teams are naturally desirous of continuing the series which began many years ago. the battles will be very keen.
 Harvard-Brown Uncertain . The Harvard-Brown contest presents uncertainty. Brown has an eleven of unusual strength. The attack is both powerful and deceptive. If Harvard were to send her best team against Brown, the Crimson probably would be a slight favorite. If the second string players. good as the Cambridge eleven is, can hold Brown even or de feat the invaders. it will be remark able tribute to the coaching ability of Haughton and his board of strategy
 Another game of interest will be the contest between Syracuse and Colgate. Both elevens are fast and powerful scoring machines, but the Hamilton team has shown greater con sistency in its play than Syracuse. West Point vs Springfield The Army and Navy teams win face opponents of only moderate strength. The cadets will oppose the Springfield Y. M C. A. training school at West Point. The middies will find Villa Nova strong defensive, ly but should outmatch that team in attack.

Princeton Has Advantage.
 The fighting spirit of the Blue is not, however, underestimated by the Orange and Black for even the present undergraduates remember that within their time Yale has wrestled victory from the Tiger when the game seemed won. In some respects Princeton holds the advantage over Yale for the Ruch coaching system is now firmly established in Nassau Land while the New Haven institution is still expert menting with the latest methods in troduced by Tad Jones.
 Judged in the light of preceding games this season it is difficult to compare with accuracy the power Of the two systems. Princeton this year has shown a disposition to play a waiting game; sweeping down upon the opponents goal line after a break in the play had given the Tiger the opening he sought.
