 IF FAST SATURDAY
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Football play which ranged from high class to mediocre marked the close of the eastern gridiron season for number of varsity and training camp elevens Saturday.
 For two periods Dartmouth and Brown fought back and forth on the gridron at Boston with little ad- vantage one way or the other, but the New Hampshire eleven developed a fumbling streak early in the third ses- sion and lost the game when Brown scored two touchdowns in rapid suc- cesson.
 An illegal tackle by a Washington and Jefferson player after q Notre Dame opponent had signalled for a fair catch, paved the way for a field goal which proved to be the only score in an otherwise we'll played intersec- tional game between these two teams, and caused the east and west to break even in the days football combat as Syracuse won from the Michigan Az gies at Lansing. Mich.
 The Princeton freshmen defeated Yale's 1921 eleven in a rather loosely played contest which took the place l this season of the usual inter- varsity classic. Rutgers proved too powerful for the Newport naval reserve team, notwith- standing that the personnel of the navy eleven came nearer to an all | American group of football players than anything seen on an eastern grid iron in many years.
 The army closed it's season by win ming a hard battle from Boston col 1 lege and Pennsylvania downed ths | Carlisle Indians.

While bleeding on the ground he call ed two gunners, ordered them to set up the wreck of the remaining gun and directed them to fire from this point. The last seen of him was on the ground behind this piece.
 Two other batteries were brought into action yesterday morning. The enemy fire was so fierce that whole battery was nearly swept away As the captain was killed his place was taken by 8 lieutenant. When the last sun was destroyed in a storm of shells the few gunners about him seized their bayonets and joined the infantry as they swept forward in a charge and were among those who drove back the enemy in one of the 1iercest attacks.
 In another case an explosion almost buried one of the mountain batteries in debris and killed the captain. The Austrians tried to occupy the position over this buried battery. But the bat terymen first drove the enemy back, then dug out their guns and twenty men and carried them back so that the guns again are in service today.
 At another point all the artillery horses were killed and it was irnpos- sible to move two batteries to a new position until the gunners had unlim- hered the pieces under fire and had carrfed the wheels and trunnions or their shoulders to a new position.

NEW COINS NEEDED ID SUIT THE TIMES

The use of at least two new coins has become nearly imperative since prices have taken it into their heads to rise above this common plane. Uncle Sam should take heed inn mediately upon reading this en- lightning article.

PARIS. Nov. 25.-Petrograd is being terrorized by the Lenine, Trotzky and Kameneff band in a manner analogous to that used by the Bonnet automobile bandits which terrorized Paris some years ago" says NJ. Maklakoff, the Russian ambassador to France, in an interview printed today by the Excel sior.
 The diplomat added
 Here is my forecast: The maximal- ist regime will disappear before the famine day enters Petrograd."
 The ambassador said he did not be- lieve it possible for the maximalists to hand the German prisoners over to Germany, as the prisoners are scat tered over an immense territory, faI firm Petrograd, Moscow or the battle front.

 ''Lenine never acknowledged that Russia had any duties toward it's allies and they must realize NJ. Lenine Rules at Petrograd. His proposal of an armistice with Germany is dangerous because if he can find even one Rus sian general to sign this monstrous treason with him, the agreement prob ably would result in the relase of one million German prisoners against the allies"
