Junior Varsity Result II Sad
Blow to Yale Men. Who
Had High Hopes.

NEW LONDON. Conn. June % -
morning races to-day proved interesting

event in spite of the cleancut manner
in which Harvard won both, The
Crimson freshman and second varsity
crews defeated the Yale yearling and
Junior Fights. winning the first race for
cub crafts by thrce-Quarters of a length
in 10 minutes SO 80 seconds and the
second race by open water in 10 minutes
% seconds.
The loss Of the junior race was a sad
blow for Yale. as the second Eli crew
had proved itself better in practice than
the varsity at two miles. Both races
we're run under difficulties, The regatta
committee in deciding two days ago to
start the races earlier than previously
advertised upset the plans of many
spectators.

feat. Yachts poured through the open

Of water for rowing. According to the
regulations governing the regatta the
bridge must not bt opened later than
thirty minutes before Il race,
Referee Meikleham called the news
paper men together nj noon and told
IN. m that the inefficient service Of the
Government patrol spoiled the race. He
said 1t was the worst service he had seen
in all his years AS n regatta official.
Yale caught the worst water from the
yachts. and this. combined with a general
cracking under tho strain in the Yale
boat, caused the Eli crew to fall be-
hind. Harvard s~printed hard in the
last quarter mile, It's higher rigging made
II easier to avoid the waves, Yale tried
to pull itself together. but was three
quarters Of n length behind when the
whistles. horns and cheers announced
that Harvard had crossed the line, The
official time was, Harvard, 10 3G 3-5 {,
Yale, 10 ;39.

The Independent Waking Up.

Stratford Courier: The Hamilton
County Independent Telephone Com
pany will materially improve their
telephone system as soon as the
weather permits next year. All of
the old wires and poles on the Main
street and within two blocks of the
central Office will be torn down and
will be replaced by large cable.
This cable will be large enough to
take care Of all the business the
company has going over the present
wires and the services will be great
ly improved by it's installation. This
cable being placed on poles in the
alleys will also do away with the
unsightly poles and wires on the
main business street. The company
is certainly to be commended for
this progressive move in rebuilding
their system.

DESCRIBES THE SHAM BATTLE

In the Field, Nov. Fl, 1916: 1t
will be impossible for us to describe
the maneuvers that have been stag
ed on the border during the past few
days. In the first place, to give it
the proper description, would re-
quire several pages of the Freeman
Tribune space, and secondly, the
writer is far from being an expert
in militarism and there are so many
unexpected moves made that we can
not keep pace with the forces.
However, in the white" forces
may be found approximately $1,000
men, while the Browns S
our Fort Brown name-there are a
few more than 5000 men.
The Browns" are made up of the
Iowa brigade, two Virginia regi-
ments, South Dakota, Oklahoma,
Fourth Infantry, Twenty-Sixth In
fantry and cavalry, ambulance, artil-
lery, engineers and signal corps from
Iowa and the regulars The whites
are made up from troops from
Minnesota-hanged if we know just
where they are all from-but they
are real fighters, and as we are writ
ing this, thousands Of rounds of am
munition are being fired by the in
fantry and artillery.
We left Fort Brown Thursday,
November 16, and went into camp
that night at Ohinto, about 10 miles
from our starting place, and about
20 miles from the enemy, who went
into camp near Harrington.
The first days tramp was of no
consequence. except that it brought
the fighting forces closer together,
and no manuevers were INDUCED in.
The second avs hike brought us
TO San Benito, - miles farther
northeast, and we went to camp
early in the afternoon. While we
Browns were marching northeast
al lllC w HllCo WSlc tOu1lHS
south westward, consequently the
fighting forces were nearing one an
other twice as rapidly as if but one
body were moving.
On the third day we moved several
miles and camped short distance
southwest of Harrington. BY this
time great care was being taken as
to how the advance was made as,
while complete program of where
and how the maneuvers were to be
made the opposing generals were at
liberty to attempt surprise flank
movements, near attacks, etc., and a
heavy advance guard was always on
duty, as well as many scouts and
rear guards.
Guess we forgot to mention that
this maneuver was the greatest of it's
kind ever staged by Iowa, and if you
will stop to consider that approx
mately four times as many men took
