The constitution Of 1857 was the result

history OF the country gives ample data
10 demonstrate this.
Liberty Must he Guaranteed.
What Is desired first OF all IL to es-
uhlish the rights OF the people to indi-
ydual liberty. Human liberty must be
guaranteed to prevent the government
rom taking advantage Of the excuse Of

strong enough 20 do this. as the liberty
NJ the individual was at the mercy Of
executives. I hope the new constitution
will provide severe penalties for wrong
doing on the part of public officials and
make them responsible for their acts.
Judges, heretofore only the tools o.

Investigate and punish W. %orgdoins %

so far the War Department has only

at hand to form a preliminary opinion

able to the officers Of the Twelfth Reg

cerned over the report that Col. Gordon
Johnston Ia among the officers who have
resigned. Col. Johnston Is a regular
army officer who was detailed to COM
mand the New York unit.
II Is AN axiom In the military service
that the resignation privilege cannot DE

In authority. Army officers here can
see no reason for o obeying orders

mans Victory
FINAL SCORE IS 81 TO Q

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. l8-Brown
defeated Harvard today, 81 to 0, its
first victory over a Crimson foot
bail team. The individual prowess
of the Brunonian's negro back, Pol
lard, was largely responsible for
their victory, as he scored two touch
downs and made the third possible
by brilliant running.
Harvard made its most effective
rushing attempt of the game in the
final period and after forwarding the
ball forty yards, Pollard intercepted
pass on his twenty-five yard line
and ran seventeen yards through
shert rushes. A long run by Pol
lard netted forty yards, carrying the
bali to within two yards of the goal.
Purdy made the touchdown and
Devitalis the goal. Both teams tried
forward passes unsuccessfully in the
closing moments of play.
Brown Forces Play.
Brown forced the play in the first
period into Harvard territory and a
touchdown by Pollard resulted. De-
Vitalis kicked a goal. Two attempts
for touchdowns made after a series of
long rushing gains by Pollard and
Purdy failed when forward passes
went wrong. One of these crossed
the line, but the officials ruled that
Purdy, who received, was standing
outside the gridiron. Score end first
period: Harvard 0; Brown 7.
Harvard's rushes we're stopped in
the second period. After an exchange
of punts, Brown advanced from their
twenty-yard line to Harvard's twenty
eight-yard line, where penalty for
holding stopped their progress. Har-
ward advanced considerably on long
runs and had the ball on Browns
fourteen-yard line when time was
called. Score end of second period:
Harvard 0; Brown 7.
Racing forty-siX yards through a
scattered field early in the third
period, Pollard scored another touch
down and DeVitalis again kicked goal.
Harvard gained somewhat, but was
forced to kick and Brown once more
rushed down the field Pollard on
slanting runs took the ball from the
ten-yard line to the Harvard twenty
yard line, where the period ended,
Harvard having been penalized for
unnecessary roughness. Score end

Neither side can lay it against the
other for not crossing one another's

eagle eyes of the officials declared

blue and white line, when MeCauley

because one OF the Highlanders was
offside. Try as they might, the visitors
were unable to penetrate the fve
yards that prevented them from
touchdown. and on two more attempts
lost the ball on downs. Creighton
showed the oval over the chalk marks
, in the last quarter. when Lutes
rammed his way through the High
landers' defense for six yards. As
with the Iowans, some Creighton war
rior was offside and the counts we're
not allowed. In the remaining downs
Creighton failed to gain its coveted
/ distance.

i From the spectators viewpoint the
game was full OF thrills. Long spiral
passes, beautifully executed, and al
most perfect end runs kept the large
crowd on its toes continually and re-
suited in the ball advancing from one
end OF the field to the other.
In all. Creighton attempted twenty
six forward passes. of which ten were
successful. The Catholics gained
total OF III yards by the aerial route,
while the Iowans could negotiate but
thirty-fve yards, which they made III
two passes. They tried six hips.
The visitors were forced to resort to

than the locals. Out Of six boots, Cap

Several Of his kicks were of the low,

fifty and sixty yards. On the other
hand, Captain Platz OF Creighton re-
sorted to the kicking game but four
times, averaging about thirty-hve
yards for each Of his trys. One Of his
boots was blocked in the first quarter
and almost resulted in touchdown
for the Iowans.
