trainers counselled against permitting
any outdoor practice in the rain. The
men were sent through a signal drill

A report was current last night that

Harvard had gone, as he is still SUI

The vanguard of the Crimson squad,
thirty strong, headed by Coach
Haughton, practised for a few min

sought shelter at hotel. The grid
iron was covered with a layer of
straw after the practice.
Coach Jones gave the Yale line in
dividual instructions on breaking
through.
The local weather bureau last
night predicted fair weather for the
game.

In civilization. the arts and sciences.
and have remained long prosperous. II
they have neglected agriculture. II IL
III most universal OF att arts, the parent
of manufactures and commerce. and
the basis OF all other industries, and
without which all others must tieeay
and perish.
Indeed, where people have Devoted
,hemseI kes to agriculture they have
been Uniformly prosperous and pro

people who have abandoned or even
neglected II have declined.
The majority Of all people. In all
times aud ages Of the werld, from the

In agriculture. Presidents. emperors
