Illness Is Not Of Serious Nature
Dark Horse at Harvard

an New Haven, Nov. 22.-Something of
"a hurry was caused in Yale football
fc1rcies yesterday afternoon when it
was known that Captain Black of the
eleven was at the college infirmary.
.i4 Black did not report for afternoon
bpractice. 'tChub'' Sheldon being given
his position at left guard The foot
ball association last night authorized
the statement that Black had re-
burned from Atlantic City yesterday
with slight cold. and that his tenn
skperature was 100 when he went to the
ibcollege infirnary. It remained at
normal yesterday, and Black was ex-
pected to return to ROTATIONS and to
Football today.
III Sheldon has not recovered condi-
Ftion following his attack of rheuma-
ftisnl, and will not start the Harvard
lgame. Because of his faithful train
ing, however, he may be used few
minutes during the game.

ny Only signal rehearsal was attempt
led yesterday afternoon, lasting nearly
an hour. A scrirnmage drill of about
thirty minutes was planned for today, |
and every varsity regular has been or
qered to start in the line up. Yes |
terday an improvised varsity met the |

May Use ozark Horse"

i Cam bridge, Mass, Nov 22.-It leak
ed out from Harvard football head
\ quarters yesterday afternoon that
I Percy Haughton is likely to spring a
S"darlx horse" on Yale next Saturday.
\ The player in question is Joe Ryan,
an end, who was a member of the
great Notre Dame eleven two years
ago and who established quite a rep
utation as an expert in forward pass
ing.
Ryan played with the Harvard
!. scrubs last year and did remarkable
imork. While he has been playing
mostly with the scrubs again this
season he has enjoyed the unusual
distinction of eating at the varsity
training table. Little news Of Ryan
has been permitted to leak out by
the Harvard censors, but the fact re-
mains that Ryan is playing a power
ful game. If Harvard is forced to
resort to the forward pass as a ma
Tor attack on Saturday it is pretty
certain that Ryan will be injected
into the fray.
Today the team held it's last drill
on Soldiers field. This also will be
mainly on defensive work. The stu
dents will come to the field to see the
end of the days work and at night
there will be the usual mass meeting.
Secret Drill for Brown.
Providence, r. l., Nov. 22.-Coach
Robinson had his entire Brown squad
at work.ron Andrews field yesterday
afternoon, the first workout since the
Harvard game. For the first time this
season the gates were locked to all
visitors! Brown is one oflAthe few
\ colleges which has not made a pre-
tence a secret practice, but this week
\ it is understood none but the coach
\ ing staff and. players are to be al
lowed On the field.
Nothing is to be left undone to win
the Colgate game, for Brown wants tc
! keep it's slate clean and it is realized
that in Colgate will be found about
the toughest opposition met this sea-
son. This afternoon the varsity team
ran through a snappy signal drill
while the second team, under CoacE
I Whittemore, ran through Colgate
formations. Tomorrow there Will be
y more signal work, with possibly dunn
I my Scrimmage.

In Days of Old and New.

In Days Of Old and New.
In days of old when Yale was bold
And Harvard held her sway
In the days now shrunk when Brown
was punk
And Pittsburgh could not play
In days, alack, that won't come back
When Princeton had great teams
In days, all me, that used to be;
How long ago it seems.
In days of yore the old Big -Four
Had everything tied down;
They scoffed at Pitt with nimble wit
And let their subs trim Brown;
They romped along with quip and
song
And laurel on their brow
Hey, Yale and Penn and Harvard men,
Where are the Big Four Now?

Last year it was Cornell and Pltts-
burgh. So far this season it is Brown,
Pittsburgh and the Army.
But in making the roll call around
the summit Harvard, Yale, Princeton
and Penn have made no reply for the
last two years.
Yale, Princeton and Penn have
made no championship gestures for a
good many years, leaving Harvard
almost alone to wage war for the Old
Guard. And Harvard, after three
years dropped before Cornell last fall
and before Tufts and Brown this
season.

Dear Sir: If you want to save the
reputation of the New Britain High
school football team for snortsman-
ship get busy and create sentiment in
favor of accepting a challenge which
has been sent them by Stamford High
for game here on THANKSGIVING Day.
L understand they have declined to
play here in previous seasons The
local viewpoint here Is now that New
Britain is 'afraid'' to play or refuses
to do so for some unknown reason

AS a former New Britainite here in

frankly the New Britain boys reputa-
tion for craftsmanship hangs in bal
ance here pending the decision I am

myself and I know the New Britain
boys were never YET called cutters.
So get busy and play this game.
Yours truly,

being made to contain New Britain

until after the season has closed and

girdles, hat trimmings and other gar
nishments in these colors just now. A
narrow ribbon girdle may be made in

belt is of wider ribbon, crushed and
fastening under a fancy buckle at
the front.
A pretty evening wrap is shown with

has faced openings at each side where
the arms pass through. The wrap is
made of a light-colored taffeta lined

each side of the front on the facing.

the toilette correctly. The hair is
dressed high on the head, parted at

SEED BED FOR VEGETABLES

Fire to Heap.

In forming a bed for tomato, cab

tered. south-side spot; pile weeds,
cornstalks. brush and odd chunks of
wood on 1t, and set fire to the heap.
When the fire dies down. take the
spade and turn up the ground where
che fire was built. This thoroughly
mikes the ashes from the fire with the
coll. fertilizing it, while the heat of the
dre destroys many insects, worms,
etc. together with their eggs, in that
particular spot.
As soon as the ground is cooled on
sufficiently, sprinkle the seeds lightly
over the surface OF the bed, draw the
rake over the dirt few times. and
carefully spread some fine brush
across it. to prevent the birds and
chickens from damaging the bed. On
nights when the temperature seems

PatehoulI for Moth Prevention.


The fragrant dried roots OF the

lief in the island that when placed
among clothing and in closets they ara
sure preventive of moths. In the
earlier days of the century the per
fume of patchouli was in great favor.
1t is believed that, If the properties
of patchouli were more generally,
known, there would be demand for.
1t in the United States in preferences
to moth balls. 1t should have as much
vogue as lavender for putting between,
sheets and placing among garments;
and if it were manufactured or.
shredded into finer substance and
sold in small bags. it would be a de-
cided novelty that undoubtedly would
prove popular. Great quantities of Il
grow wild in Porto Rico, and a demand
for it from the United States would
afford employment to many of the poor
country people. In Porto Rico natives
bring the patchouli to town and sell Il
In small bundles that retail at two TO

KEEP BROOD MARES WORKING
Ordinary Farm Work viii Not Hurk
Then-Turn Then, Out in Field
Every Pleasant Day.

4 " t.
Pregnant mares can be worked adj
vantageously right up to foaling time,
says a writer Work should not be too
heavy, but ordinary farm work will
not hurt them. Successful colt raisers
nearly always work their mares and
seldom have trouble with either mare
or colt.
II you have no work, turn them out
In field every nice day. Always be
very quiet and gentle with mare in
foal. In bad weather she is better on
in the stable.
Fancy feeding is not necessary.
Feeding and watering should be quite
regular. A horse fed regularly and
fully will seldom eat too much. The
best hay for brood mares is mixed
clover and timothy. Avoid all dam
aged food. Some wheat bran and oats
may be fed, even though the cost is
high. Cut down on corn as foaling
time approaches.
After the colt is foaled the mare
should not be worked for about ten
days, and then lightly for q couple OF
weeks. Care should be taken not to
overwork or overheat her, as this will
cause the milk to be bad and may
cause collie or indigestion in the colt.
It is best to leave the colt in the barn
while it's mother is at work.

suggestion for a party frock. The
skirt is made of four founces of net
with embroidered borders and has q
straight-hanging apron or panel Of
lowered taffeta at the front and back.
These panels are gathered onto q net
yoke, which joins the first of the net
lounces also.
The pictured dress is good model
fer party or dinner frock. The
panels of pompadour taffeta give it
