This has been a wonderful month in the way of education. We should all be proud of the fact that we live in such an advanced age. Take the case of MT. Willard and Mr. Moran. Five weeks ago we only knew eight or ten things about these two cltl- zens. Today we know all there IS to know-barring one detail. We know now the color of their socks, the thickness of their undershirts; the temperature Of their bath; how they have their eggs cooked;' how they spend twenty-four hours out of each day; what they think of the Euro pean war and the Mexican trouble how rare they take their steaks; how their hair is brushed; what they have to say in business conversation and polite chit chat-in fact, every detail except one.
 And that one unimportant detail is-what are they going to do to each other when the get in the ring?

YALE OARSMEN SWAMPED.
Second Freshmen Collide With Ice Or
 Harbor and Arc Rescued.

New Haven, March 24.-Yale's sec ond freshman crew was wrecked yes terday when it's boat collided with a large piece of floating ice nearly two miles from the boathouse in the har- Dor channel. The collision was so violent that seams were opened in the shell which imm ediately began tb sink. The oarsmen were rescued by being taken aboard the coaching launch which was closely following the oarsmen. Their boat was under water when they were taken from it None of the members of the crew were affected by the ducking and the shell will be repaired. .-...
 Patterson stroke of the third fresh man eight, collapsed during the aftr ernoon, and was taken from the boat. Investigations proved that he had con- cealed the fact from the coaches that he had left the college infirmary tc row in his crew. Weakness quickly developed when he tried to stroke the boat. Because of the accident to the second freshman eight, no attempt was made to take out the first and second Varsity crews until the harbor is clear. ss..s .t

License Clerk Makes Woman Tell Her Age in Presence of Fiance.
 (POrtland OregOnianl

She was blushing, fair and--thirty if day. She approached the mar riage license counter presided over by John Cochran, aide to Cupid, and F.. A. McMenamin, first assistant aide to Cupid.
 She led her betrothed somewhat smaller than she, to the front.
 We want a marriage license," she said, militantly.
 "Yes, indeed, ma'am," responded Deputy County Clerk McMenmin.
 ''Yes, that's what we want" echoed Friend Husband -to-be, meekly.
 The usual preliminary questions were asked and answered for both hy the lady fair.
 Age please?" politely inquired the deputy.
 Smiling with a knowing air as much as if to say, You can't fool me. I know you don't have to give your exact age" she replied sweetly, Legal"
 ''Ah, yes, legal-and how much over?" blandly inquired the clerk. = She looked indignant.
 .''Is it necessary" she inquired, in freezing tones.
 "Absolutely," responded Deputy McMenamin.
 ''Thirty-three" returned the lady, reluctantly.
 'LegaP' was all that we entered on the marriage record blank, but the temptation to puncture gently the seIf-satisfacti of the bride-to-be could not be resisted.

YALE TEAMS PLAY
 FOR YALE ONLY
General Public Not Considered in
 Sports, Says Daily News

New Haven, March 24.-The Yale Daily News announced in an editorial yesterday that the members of the Yale football team would not wear numbers in games played next fall. The News asserted that the plea and not frequently demand for number ing players has come from sporting editors who have been actuated in their requests principally because such a system would be very much to then advantage in reporting the games
 "Of course better, in the sense of more accurate not of wider publicity should be given to all forms of col lege athletics, but let us not forget that games arc played for the college, not for the sporting editors; for Yale and not for the general public.
 we do not go so far as to hint that the old Spartan system of excluding from the Olympic games all but the participants and the judges should be approximated. For besides the bene fit of football to the players them selves we must not forget that one of the finest raisons q etre of the sport is the great enjoyment as a game and as Sp0CJdCl6 IL dHOIOS InS Sp6CIdJOTS
 We should disapprove, therefore, of
 any plan giving greater publicity than now obtains to college football or of hardening to the disingenuous cry of the athletic writer who argues that the
 numbering of players should be eff fected in justice to those who pay
 money to see the football games. From the practical point of view, moreover, as Captain Black has said, 1 Eff the spectators of a football game | are not interested enough to learn who l the players are without their being
 numbered they will not be interested ] enough to learn who the players are ! when they are numbered.'
 "On the whole, therefore, we ap- 1 prove the decision of Captain Black
 and the football management in this l instance, and we feel that it will re-
 ceive the support of the university for
 we are convinced that they have set | tied the matter, if not in the most pop | uIar surely in the most sensible man. ner. The question is hardly one that can be argued with profit as the foot
 ball rules committee, which omitted to
 take cognizance of it, decided. It is
 not so much a matter of sound logic
 as a question of good taste."

YALE RELAY TEAM
 HAD FINE SEASON
Middle Distance Quartet Has Lest But One Race This
 Winter.

New Haven, March 24-Yale's nished the sensation of the indoor track season. Defeated by only the Harvard team in the Boston athletic association games last month, st has won three of the hottest relay races of the winter on the metropo1- itan district boards, it's victory over Cornelrs distance relay flyers at the indoor intercollegiate meet in the Madison Square garden in the six-lap race showing it in wonderful form.
 The race between Capt Johnny Overton, Ya1es anchor man, ard Capt. Windnagle, the Cornell distance sharp. was one of the most sensa- tionaJ ever seen in New York. Over ton started the race by picking up his relay five wards behind Windnagle, but overlook the Ithacan at the quar- ter-miIe. dogged him and, after making four unsuccessful attempts to pass him. overhauled him on the last lap and broke the worsted three yards to the good.
 Overton is earily Yale's greatest distance runner in recent years, and is now touted as second John Paul Jones'" His defeat of Dave Cald- well of Boston a week ago in New York made track history.
 Yale's other relay stars include Henry Sage Cooper, grandson of I. Fenimore Cooper, H. s. Rolfe and A. o. Barker. half-mile and mile sec ond-string men of the Yale track team last season. This team prom ises a sensational performance in the two-mile relay race at the Uni versitv of Pennsvlvania relay games.

Even That.

And we almost know that. For as the hour of the contest draws nearer it is simpler and simpler to see that Moran, as game and as likeable as he is, has only an outside chance.
 He will make a hard fight to break through the Wallardian barrier, but his outlook is a bleak as a Siberian plain at dawn. For Moran has very little chance to outpoint Willard-as Moran isn't the outpointing type. And he has still less chance to knock bim out, even if he should let the Big Right fly to a vulnerable spot.

Still Moran has this in his favor. Most of the ring sharps, meaning particularly boxers of the present and the past, are picking Willard.
 They picked Sullivan to beat Cor bett; Corbett to beat F'itz; % F1tz to beat Jeffries; Jeffries to beat John- son. and Johnson to beat Willard.
 It may be that they are due at last out of six or seven starts to put over one winner. But SO far, as past average go. Moran has this part of the fight all in his favor.
