Yale and Princeton are far ahead of Harvard in football skill at present, according to the opinion expressed by New York critic who has viewed the three teams in action recently. AL 1 though Harvard piled up a big score on the Massachusetts Aggies last Sat urday the opposition was so weak that | it was impossible to tell much about
 the Crimson's eral ability. The late
 arrival of Coach Haughton is believed | to have retarded Harvard's progress
 considerably. Yale and Princeton
 have practically settled upon the team
 that will go into the big games but Harvard is still undecided.
 Princeton has a big advantage in
 kicking because Driggs is a better man than the other two can boast. At
 field goal kicking Tibbott of the Iii

 the rivals can produce. Princeton alsa leads in interference with Harvard

 the Tigers are also lead because of the number of veterans on IlandN Yale | ranks second with Harvard a poor third. Yale is given the call in the backfield. It is said LeGore, Bing- ham, Jacques and Smith outclass the i Princeton backs and also put Har-
 vard's representatives in the shade.
 Another topic of interest to football
 fans is the surprise package handed to
 the Syracuse giants by the University of Pittsburgh. Because of their heavy

 UNABLE TO CHECK
 CHAIN co. ATTACK
(By Wagner)

Ability to capture the. eneny's trenches is still feature of the Chain Go. eleven's play. The crimson clad warriors made a big advance on both fronts yesterday when they rounded up the All-Waterbury heavy artillery by 12 to 0. Over 2,70O fans paid to see the. battle lat Newfield park.
 The Brass City boys had the strong est aggregation that has appeared in the city this season. They were ex- cellent defensive players but had little in the way of attack that could bother the locals. It was their vicious tack ling and peppery work all through that forced the Chain crowd to hustle, for victory.
 In the last period they unlocked series of forward passes that gained a good sized patch of territory but were unable to maintain this gait long enough to score. Their shift play in almost every instance was thrown by the Chain line without gain. Roger Connor and Doyle did the best play ing for All Waterbury.
 Bakos, who started at end and later relieved Seeley at quarterback, was a star TOT the Cndln pOyS. I1C idh IiiC team we'll and carried the ball for numerous gains. George Moshier and Howie Baker romped around the ends for many yards. Eddie Lavery was hard to stop when he struck the line. The local forwards were in great form. Moose Miller proved wonder in breaking up the Waterbury formations and Capt Flanagan was a demon for spilling the enemy.
 The Chain Co.,, had the ball during the greater part of the first half but failed to score. In the third period the-1ocals started a march down the field, After being held near the goal line, a forward pass was thrown to Fitzpatrick. who caught the ball be- hind the goal posts. The umpire de- cIared he had blown his whistle before the play started so the oval was brought back. Then the Chain steam roller began again. Alter a sensation al gains by Baker and Moshier, the later was downed a few inches from the Waterbury line. Bakos then push ed through center for a touchdown and Flanagan missed the goal.
 The local machine speeded up a lit tie after that. The boys pushed Wa terbury steadily back and Moshier finally uncorked 15 yard run for a touchdown. The ball was fumbled on the kickout so the chance to kick the goal was lost.

New Haven-Footba1l experts here are very sweet over the Yale back field at present. They claim that Coach Tad Jones has the strongest set of backs in the country. Le Gore, Bingham, Jacques and Neville present formidable quartet. Le Gore appeared to be all over the field in the recent game with Virginia Poly. He skirted ends, gained through the line and played a de- fensive game that kept the stands in wild enthusiasm.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-10-23

Jacques, Bingham and Neville, the other. players used in this game, lived up to their regulations as dependable backs. Jacques is one of the hardest line plungers of Jones' corps. He hits the line in a manner that recalls the days of Hale, Coy and Owsley. Bingham displayed a tendency to fum- ble the pigskin, but this, no doubt, was traceable to his injured shoulder Neville is a good man on offensive and defense. Photo shows Bingham ready to make a forward pass.

The Remington Arms football play CTS opened their season yesterday at Avon park and gave favorable ac- count of themselves despite the fact that they were beaten by 13 to by the Washington Glees of New Haven.

BULLET ENTERS RESIDENCE
Man Fires Three Shots at Dogs and
One Goes Astray

Last Monday night Sam Wertalla
a Finn, was aroused from his peace
full slumbers by lot of dogs that had
gathered about his place, setting up a
program of barking and bowling. lie
got up and armed himself with a gun
and fired three shots into the midst OF
the dogs.
One OF the shots hit rock, and
glancing. struck the Stacey building
which was on the same side OF the
street. The bullet went through the
side OF the wall and dropped about 9
foot from the bed in which Mrs
Stacey and her daughter were sleep
ing. The shooting took place about
1890 in the evening and Mr.. Stacey
who is night foreman at the c. e. N
w. round house, was at his home, eat
ing his dinner when the bullet enter
ed the house.
II was at first thought that some
one had attempted TO take the life OF
Mr.. Stacey but Thursday Wertalla
hearing that one of his shots went
wild. informed Mr.. Stacey of the three
shots he fired at dogs on the same
evening and at about the same hour
the bullet entered the house.

PREDICT POOR SEASON
Cold, Wet Spring FroEe Young Birds,
Say Wardens

Bird shooting in Michigan this fall
is going to be poor.
According TO the reports from the
various game wardens TO the state
office, birds, especially grouse, will be
as spare this season as they were last,
when the kill was the lowest ever
known in the history of the state.
Wet springs and cold weather last
winter hurt the partridge to a great
degree. On the other hand, quail, a
protected bird for some time to come,
wintered well, thanks TO the co-opera-
tion of farmers in many sections of the
state.
Judging from the reports already
secured from the wardens. the part
ridge this fall will be about as scarce
as they were last fall. Cold winters in
the northern part Of the state, follow
ed by cold springs in which wetness
predominated, have apparently played
havoc WITH the young birds.

HARVEST WILL BE LARGEST THIS
YEAR IN A LONG TIME
OTHER CROPS NEED RAIN
Oats are Showing Effect of Lack
of Moistwe---Farm Help
Very Scarce

Iron county will harvest this year
the largest hay crop in the history OF
the county, and with the continuance
of The present dry weather the crops
will be harvested in first class condi-
tion. The heavy rains early in the sea-
'son that retarded the growth OF other
crops,i assured a big yield, and many
fields will run as high as three tons an
acre Many farmers throughout the
county report the fact that their hay
sheds will be too small TO hold the
heavy yield of hay this year. The
stand is so heavy in some places that
II clogs the moving machine and the
farmers are finding difficulty in find
ing sufficient hands to help harvest the
big yield. The wages being offered by
farmers this year is larger than ever
offered for this kind of work in the
past. Nearly all county farmers have
commenced cutting and all agree that
the yield and quality was never better.
The hot weather Is favorable to the
corn crop. but nearly all other crops
are showing the lack of rain. Oats
in particular are suffering for want Of
moisture and will be light yield
Potatoes, where they got any kind of
a start, will give a good yield this year.

CIT ouT THE SHOOTING

Last Sunday while the large crowd
of people were witnessing the boat
races and other sports at Fortune lake
someone in the woods nearby began
shooting towards the lake. Several
people report that they have heard the
whiz of the bullets pass their heads.
All persons carrying guns in the
woods for target practice or hunting
should be careful and not direct shots
towards the lake as IT s. inhabited by
many every day throughout the sum
mer months.

Autoists Warned To Steer Clear III
Fhoy Value Their Car

The Diamond Drill wishes TO call
the attention Of the Supervisors TO the
unit condition in which the Balsam
road was left for travel, either by auto
or rigs.
This road was in fine condition up 10
few weeks ago and hunting and
fishing parties had no trouble in gee
ting as far as Balsam, with cars or rigs
after leaving the Amasa road The
township commissioner recently had q
crew OF men on this road and left il in
such an unfit condition that IL should
be closed TO traffic as an accident OF
some kind will surely happen IL II is
left open for travel.
Two automobile parties drove in
there recently and when they reached
distance OF about one hundred feet
from the main road they were confront
ed with one of the toughest proposi-
tions of their lives. The sod and dirt
was cut up and piled in the
middle OF the road. leaving a slope
on both sides, dished up with nothing
but holes and rocks. 1t was impossi-
BILE to turn back so the party had to
face the music and proceed TO Balsam
over the toughest mile and half of
roai they ever saw. On return trip one
of the cars went in the ditch but for
tunately stayed on all fours and after
building a skidway under the rear
wheels, was brought back to where
the road used to be and managed TO
stick TO il until the Amasa road was
