feated Brown University of Provi-
dence. Rhode Island, at Tournament
park. yesterday afternoon by the
score OF IA to 0. At the end of the
game there was no doubt as to the
superiority of the winners. They
had demonstrated that the best in
the West Is a deal better than the
East OF the second class, and on a
dry field their superiority would
have been even greater. In every
department of the game the winners
had the best of the contst, but it was
largely their greater ruggedness,
greater ability to stand the terrific
strain of the desperate battle in the
slippery going that won for them.
Throughout the first two periods
there was no scoring, the entire time
being taken up In a VICIOUS contest
between the 20-yard lines, the ball
seldom getting nearer than that to
either goal line, and changing hands
frequently, sometimes as the result
of tumble, but more frequently
when the defenders held the attack
for three downs without the reQui-
site 10 yards gain and forced a
kick.
Brown Shows Strain
Each time the attacking team
started in whirlwind fashion to
march on the enemy's goal, and each
time the defense stiffened after a
short advance of the ball and took
possession.
When the second half opened, the
Brown team commenced to show the
strain. Her attack was not so deter
mined and the Washington backs be-
gan to shoot the Eastern line for
longer and longer gains with their
terrific off-tackle bucks. A process
sion OF these finally drove Boone
over the line from three yards out
for the first score Of the game, and
Durham added the one point for the
goal from an easy position. The
final period found the Brown team
weakening more rapidly, and Wash
ington scored again. in precisely the
same manner as before, save that
Dietz carried the ball for the final
yards, aad was only kept from an

and he had no chance to make use

field he would have been safely away

Warrington, accustomed to using
an open form of attack, showed her
great adaptability by changing he1
style to meet the conditions, and
rather than take any chances with
fancy handling of the slippery ball,
or long end runs, confined her at
tack almost entirely to tackle and
off-tackle bucks, at which she
showed unexpected ability. Her
backs ran hard and low, and hit the
line with a greater speed than any
backs seen here this season, and
their ability to pick holes was almost
uncanny. With their speed and
wriggling ability they took advant-
age of the slightest openings made
by their linemen in the opposing for
wards and slipped and slid through

game, and particularly in the second
half.

with a possible exception of one of

Weeks played a splendid game, and

which should have been a big factor
in their favor, was more than Off

HUGHES AS A CANDIDATE.

Here is the latest utterance from
Justice Charles f. Hughes regarding
his possible candidacy for the presi-
dency:
''In view of my judicial office, do
not feel that | have any right to take
part in any political discussion or to
make statements of the sort that would
be expected from candidates for office.
| am not candidate, actively or tacit-
~, and as | do not wish to do anything
which would justly be regarded as an
attempt to obtain political support, /
must ask to be excused from answer
ing your inquiry
1t was written to Henry A. Wise
Wood, formerly a member of Secretary
Daniel advisory board. There is one
word in the letter which may come
very near to putting an end to all eff
forts to have Hughes for presidential
candidate. That word is '"tacitly. -
Yet, even this word does not make
Hughes say that he viii not take the
nomination if it is offered to him by
the convention. 1t is evident that
hat door is still left open. The po-
3ition Justice Hughes takes is con
5istent with the dignity of the nation
al supreme bench. 1t is also consistent
With the view that no man will decline
the nomination for the presidency if
it is offered to him by the convention.
For the Hughes men, this letter is
not prohibition that they cease work
ing for him, but it is information that
they must not expect any support from
him, openly or covertly This is dig
nified and honorable. At the same time
it is not conclusive in taking him out
of consideration altogether. Under this
letter any Hughes advocate win be
perfectly justified in continuing his eff
forts. But he will have to work all the
harder because the friends of other
candidates will make the most of the
stand which Hughes takes and will try
to make the convention believe that he
is out of the running altogether.
Careful reading of the letter does not
show that such a view is correct. On
the contrary, by its very omission to
say that the writer will not accent if
he is nominated, it must be inferred
that he Will accept if the convention
brings the nomination to him. Thus the
Hughes movement may continue to
move, with just as bright prospects of
success as ever, for this letter ought
not to deter any friend from pushing
his name as fast and as far as possible.

STATE NEWS NOTES.
Former Burlington Man Disappears.

Clyde G. Hilton, 80, formerly treas
urer of the Strong theater in Burling-
ton, but for the last five years with
the American Optical company of
Southbridge, Mass, and at the present
time superintendent of its foreign sales
department, disappeared week ago
from the Memorial hospital in Worces-
ter, Mass, where he went to undergo
an operation for appendicitis.
Mr.. Hilton had been suffering for
several months with a chronic case of
appendicitis and upon the advice of a
physician decided to undergo an i'm
mediate operation at the Memorial
hospital in Worcester. Accompanied
by a friend, C. Fred Hill of the office
force of the American Optical com
pany, he went to the hospital and
completed arrangements for the opera
ton, then, saying goodbye to Mr.. Hill,
left to pay visit to an aunt IL Wor-

VILLA

francesca Villa is a prominent Mexican
patriot who for some time has been depre-
eating faster than the silver money of his
own country. Only short time ago Villa
was at the head of large army of fierce,
undisciplined and highly soused troops
and was only two jumps removed from the
presidency of Mexico. Today he is seat
tered and disorganized force, a menace to
society, having lost his modus operandi and
other weapons, and being looked upon in
polite circles as human cockroach
Villa was born in Mexico of poor but
honest parents, his father being a gentle
man of the old school who died in defence
of his country while trying to see how
much of the juice of the Mexican hop he
could absorb at one sitting. Villas par,
ents had several children, in plaintive
seriatim, nearly all of whom died in an alb
rupt, alcoholic manner for love of native
land, but Villa always drew first and be-
came one of the most accomplished and
discriminating assassins of this or any 9th
er age Villa never assassinated anybody
except in the small of the back, and then
he usually hired it done.
Villa wanted to be president of Mexico
so that he could restore law and order,

winch were missing IN several spots, but he
was folled by Carranza in the latter
smooth, tlnfoil manner. After series of
sanguinary battles, in which five or six of
the leading lights of both armies got too
well lit up and fell off a freight train with
fatal accuracy, Villa was entirely dispersed
carrying nothing away but his honor and
all OF the loose currency lugged into the
country by the American investor.
Personally, Villa is coarse, unpleasant
man, with loose domestic ties and the nm
refined tastes of the American COYOTE. A
reward has been put upon his head. and
there is a keen, bloodthirsty desire in this
country to see him removed from the
haunts of man with the aid of hemp rope.
The murder of one plain American citizen
cannot be avenged by the prompt and
squeallng demise of a thousand Mexican
cut-throats in state of hopeless inebriety,
and while we are not a vindictive people it
would seem for the best interests of So
elety that Villa be. put where he will not
murder anybody else unless he throws him
into the furnace.
The life of Villa teaches us what ambi-
ton will lead a man to when he is mad
dened by drink and too many wives.

dorsed the direct primary law the leg
islature of 1915 ducked responsib lily

such a measure on the floor of the
