Learning by Experience

/. It is significant that in those states
where improved road building has
reached Its highest development, we
find the greatest mileage of asphaltic
highways.
In states where road building is COM
paratively new Or at least has not
made great progress, we are likely to
find roads that cost more than first
class asphalt construction-and yet do
not turn out so well either for the tax
payer or the road user.
OF course we are not under any OBJ
legation to copy the methods of other
states. But it would be foolish to
ignore the teachings Of their expert
ence
Massachusetts is conceded to be the
leader in road building. The old Com
monwealth had the first highway de-
partment, and some of her highway
officials have been in office for Is
years. They are building roads now
on the basis of experience--not guess
work And their roads are costing less
to- build and less to maintain than our
hard-surface roads
Massachusetts, Knows How.
Massachusetts has found out how to
construct asphalt macadam highways
that will carry the heaviest road traf-
fic: in the United States.
Massachusetts methods are simple,
and any one can duplicate her results
with little care. Wherever in this
state there is particularly heavy
traffic road to be built but one form Of

Harvard Squad Working
Hard for Contest with
Tiger Team

Boston, Nov. With only about six
days hard work ahead before meeting
Princeton, the Harvard football team
had long drill to-day. supplementing
the work on the fundamentals of its
play as planned for the Tigers with
some hard scrimmaging. The varsity
regulars will not be worked any harder
than is necessary, but there were many
things in the Cornell game, particular
ly on the defensive, that were not at all
salts factory, and for this reason the
players can be saved for the two big
games in less degree than in recent
years.
The scrub team, which gets a new
set Of plays almost every week nows-
days, is, of course. doing the best it
can to run off the Tigers offence
against the varsity.
This afternoon the scrubs were able
TO score a touchdown by a generous
mixture of straight and open football,
ard they also we're husky and aggres-
sive enough to stop the first team short
after having fumbled and lost the ball
on their own courtyard line. The regu-
lars, however, although with several
substitutes in their lineup, were able
to score two touchdowns.

FORDHAM TEAM
HAS A BATTLE
WITH SAILORS

The Fordham eleven held a lively
practice scrimmage with the team
from the battleship Wyoming yester-
day afternoon. The fray, which was
held behind closed gates, lasted full
hour and ended the longest workout
of the season for the Maroon squad.
AS the Fordham eleven had no game
last Saturday the scrimmage afforded
the players just enough opposition to
keep them on edge for the Georgetown
game next Tuesday.
Using the plays that Coach Frank
Gargan has mapped out for the South
erners on Election Day, the collegians
swamped the sailors. Four touch
downs were easy. the tars being baflled
by the rapid shifts, clean thrusts end
deceptive passes of the Maroon team.
Dempsey also put over pretty field
goal from the thirty-yard line.
The ball was given TO the visitors
for twenty minutes. but they could do
little against the sterling defence Of
fered by the Fordham line and backs.
The regular Fordham eleven entered
the scrlmmage, but all of the second
string players got chance during tine
afternoon.
The Bronxmen will not be on the
defensive throughout the Georgetown
game judging from the attack flashed
in the scrimmage. Coach Gargan has
built up a powerful and varied often
sive that should give even the stroN
eleven from Washington considerable
trouble

Former Nap Pitcher
Now a Millionaire

Harry Eels. former Cleveland
pitcher, who dropped out of sight
some ten years ago, has just turned
up again. a millionaire among the
newly rich.
Eels, who drifted out of baseball
because of an injury to his pitch
ing arm sustained in game, acci-
dentally stumbled on TO an iron
ore deposit in Minnesota. He was
sharp enough to get control of the
property, and turned his discovery
into more than a million, according
TO the best information.
Possibly major league fans have
forgotten Eels. He didn't stick in
the big show very long. He Joined
the Cleveland Americans in 1906
and gave every evidence of deyel-
oping into such a wonder as was
Addie Joss.

Waite on Edge to Play
HQlfbQck for Eli Team

began Waite twisted around tackle for
a 30-yard run, following with 6-yard
gain and bringing the ball to the To-
yard line of the third eleven, the var
sity opponents to-day. lie Gore took
the ball across for the first touchdown
in long glancing off tackle.
Given the ball on their own 10-yard
line, the varsity gave a satisfactory
demonstration OF their ground-gaining
power by consuming the entire ninety
Yards in gains never exceeding ten
yards, with the exception of quarter
back run of twenty yards by Traver
Smith. During the last thirty yards
the attack centred in the middle of the
scrubs rush line, and from the 5-yard
mark Braden smashed through for the
second and final score.
An experiment was made in switch :
ing Lynch from end to halfback, and
the coaches pursued their. policy OF
compelling him to carry the ball IN
most of the ground gaining. In shoot
ing around for a 20-yard advance he
made the first touchdown Of the sec
ond team. Van Nostrand scored the
second on a quarterback run. which
Melted forty yards.
In place Of Charley Gait, Al Rose
r,er, the former end, was used ct right
guard. lie and Callahan are closely
matched in the competition for Cats
berth in case he is unable to play Sat
urday. Rosener's steadiness to-day
made him the probable selection.
"Pudge" Heffelfinger is expected TO
arrive tomorrow TO assist in setting
the problem OF the selection OF the
permanent right guard. Foster Rock

ent to-day.

Bond Best Drop Kicking
Asset NTH Crimson
By BRIGGS

There was a good result forthcoming
from some fine straight forward play,
and later the scrubs goal was crossed
again with the aid of some well execut-
ed open plays. Charley Brickley spent
the day with the backfeld. Also he
worked a little with Harvard's very
promising freshman team and then
took a hand with the drop kickers.
Bond at the present time is the best
drop kicking asset Harvard has, al
though Horween was doing very we'll.
Robinson, who scored against Cornell,
gets no great accuracy at q distance
from the posts, but Bond in particular
is very promising as a drop kicker, and
is also a player who can int n at any
time with the first teams attacks as
we'll as its defence. Bond was a first
string back when he was hurt several
weeks ago, but ne is now in fine shape
for play.
In Robinson's absence Murray ran
the team and again got good results.
This fall the team always has respond
ed with scores when Murray has been
e. the helm, and he also is one OF the
best runners m the open field Harvard
has, as well as a sure tackler.
Snow was at right guard today,
Clark working on the same side and
IN Dadmun's place.
Wheeler and Sweetser continue 10 be
the first string tackles, but Taylor will
get down TO hard work tomorrow, and,
as one of last years regulars, will make
tight to get back on the rush line
somewhere.
Burnham, who has been developing
fast in the backfield, continued his good
work to-day.

If Herrmann-as more than one
