HELEN KELLER
DENIES truth OF
MARRIAGE RUM0R

Boston. Nov. 19.-Reports that Miss
Helen Keller, the famous blind anu
deaf author and lecturer. and her sec
rotary, Peter Pagan. former newspa-
per man and writer on SOCIOLOGICAL
problems, had laid their plans to wed
and had attempted to file an appnca-
ton for a marriage license at City hall
seemed to have received their quietus
Saturday. Miss Keller, Mrs. Macy, her
teacher and nearest friend. and Pagan
himself all denied steaofastly that any
such moved had been contemplated.
And to add an air of finality to the de-
NAL Pagan sailed last night for Tam
pa, where he will pass the winter.
Pagan stated just before sailing that
he was inclined to believe that he was
the victim of practical joke. He
pointed out that as neither he nor Miss
Keller is resident of Boston 1t would
have been a pointless proceeding for
him to have filed an application in
this city. He said he had not entered
City hall since last year, when he went
there to interview Mayor Curley in the
interests of the Boston Herald. where
he was employed at the time.
Mr.. Fagan's Denial
1.-THE statement that intend or ever
intended to marry Miss Keller is
false" he said. Neither Miss Keller
nor l have ever considered such a step.
The clerk who alleges that / applied
for a license to marry Miss Keller is
either mistaken, which seems unlike
ly, or he is wilfully making statements
which have no basis of fact. 1t seems
improbable that anyone would have
visited the licensing clerks Office and
unprecedented me as a practical joke.
IF l really had planned to marry Miss
Keller could not have done a more
pointless thing THAN to apply for license
in a city of which neither of US is q resi-
dent. If l wished to marry anyone il
would be necessary to obtain a license
from the clerk at Wrentham, where l am
a resident and a voter. The publicity
that has been given to this unfounded
rumor is distasteful to Miss Keller and
myself and hope that the papers will
try to discredit and silence the story
He said that he was to live his winter
with the Rev. Paul Blanchard at Tampa.
and that he planned to write short sto-
ries and essays for the magazines.
He affirmed that his trip South
was in no way result of the publica-
ton Of the marriage rumor. He said
that he had intended to return to Miss
Keller's employ in the spring. but that
the publicity OF the last few days
probably had made that impossible.
Mrs. Macy, Indignantly denied the
truth of the rumor. That story is an
L,.>x ~ fa1
Miss Keller had had any affection
deeper than friendship for any one, her
+, mother and myself would have know of
il. The story is absolutely untrue. 1t

The annual football game between
Cony and Gardner High schools was
played on the Reuel Williams field
Saturday afternoon. a crowd Of about
700 people attending the game. and al
though the local team put up good
stif tight. they were finally defeated
by the score Of Is to 6, Gardiner scor-
ing three touchdowns and failing to
kick Z single goal. In the flrst quarter
no score was made by either team. and
the ball shifted owners without once
being taken into dangerous proximity
to either goal line. but in the second
quarter Cusick of the Gardner team
took the ball through the opposing line
for several long gains, then Brisk shot
around right tackle for a touchdown
after he had received the ball on a
nicely worked delayed pass. Gardiner
was unable to kick the goal, and Col
gan of Cony took the ball after the
kickoff and carried it well back into
Gardiner territory, where Cony was
penalized for being off-side. Then Cony
lost considerable ground on poor
kick, and shortly afterward Martin re-
covered the ball on poor pass. After
trying vainly to get through the Gar
diner line, Capt. Cram kicked the pig
skin down into the Gardiner end of the
field, the whistle interrupting the play
with the score s and 0. Both teams
went into the school dressing rooms
and rested up. Coach Thompson gave
his tired warriors short talk and they
again took the field. The third quarter
Gardiner took the ball and tried the
forward pass twice, each attempt be-
ing a fiat failure. Then Allen of Cony
took the ball on the kickoff. a fortu-
nate pass took the Red and White
down to the Gardiner 15-yard line, and
Dunnack. Cony's left end, took the ball
and went around the ends for the only
touchdown scored by Cony for the
game. Nothing more happened in this
period. but in the fourth quarter Gu
sick plunged through the Cony line for

POLLARD OF BROWN PROVES /

Cambridge. Mass. Nov 12.-The

star. Fred Pollard. It's Negro halfback,
whose brilliant attack counted most of
the II points by which the Brunoians
defeated Harvard Brown. unbeaten
through the season, prevented a Grim
son score. maintaining it's record of
having held it's goal line clear in every
game. and scored the first victory ever
gained by a Brown eleven over Har-
ward.
Although Pollard was the special OBJ
ject of Harvard's defense which at
times was SO forceful as TO draw official
warnings and, in one instance. a PEN
atty. for unnecessary roughness, he
was effective in every department of
play. He rushed from close formations.

broken fields. for gains Of to 40 yards.
He received clearly forward passes not
only OF his own team but also Har-
ward passes which he intercepted. De-
fensively he was sure tackler who
often downed the runner.
The Harvard team, except in flashes,
was without consistent power of at
tack, but the call of time in the second
period stopped Crimson advance
which was still unchecked IL yards
from Browns goal. Bond was the fac
tor of greatest force in the Crimson
backfeld.
All three goals from touchdown were
kicked by De Vitalis, who has booted 81
