Yale next season that the Big Three
may make an agreement whereby the
elevens would practice two or three
times a week and play games every fort

trainer, says that football could very
easily be played on this basis.
Only" he said, "the agreement would
have to be hard and fast among all the

ment."
As to next seasons baseball prospects
at Yale, he said that everything was

cerned.

ST. COLUMBIA GETS
ENLISTED STARS
Navy Players Signed by
Manager Coffey Add
Strength to Line.Up
HAVE GAME WITH CURTIS

st Columba's entrance into the base
Dali field has thus far been a great sue
cess. The followers, after a champion-
snip year in the basketball cage. were
clamoring for team to continue and
uphold the name of their club on the
diamond. so Jimmy Coffey was appointed
to handle the affairs of the nine.
He has secured Deitrick, Dunleavy and
Becker from the supply department at
the navy yard, and Kilroy from the
Fourth Naval nine. With these stars
he has Pease and Burkey. formerly Of
Blabon :. Waller, of Fern Rock, and
O'Neill. Of Keen Kutter
The Saints got late start and were
further handicapped by losing their
home grounds, after having several
games scheduled. Despite this loss they
set out winning the first few games, but
did not show their true worth until
Saturday, when they defeated the strong
Ryan A. c. by the score Of IL to 5.
Twenty hits was the total off the de-
livery of Harper. the former schoolboy
star. Deitrick, Dunleavy and Waller all
had solid whacks that went for extra
bases. The former, by the way, is con-
tinuing the great work that he displayed
in the cage and which made him so
popular throughout basketball circles.
In kilroy, Coffey has splendid little
pitcher. He relieved Pease on Saturday
and held the Ryan boys safe after the
score had been tied, allowing but one
hit. He also possesses cool head and
has perfect control.
Games have been scheduled with Cur
tiss c. c. and Penn A. c., while arrange

ing of players would lead to serious
trouble and agreed to stand by the date
fixed for signing players on June 10.

Making Love To Men
By Winifred Black

can't bear to watch his illusions
fade-and, just to keep him young
and hopeful, and real and honest
and true, you'd like, if it wasn't
so very, very wrong, to show him
how true woman can truly love.
No, / don't think I'm interested
in the article about the "men who
have made love to me-" which the
woman with the personality is
writing.
The men who make love to US
are so facile, so easy. They speak
the words so trippingly on the
tongue. They can write such
lovely letters and send such sweet
flowers right in the very nick of
time, and they understand" SO
well. Alas! all too well they IN
derstand, for men with such "un-
derstanding" have either learned
it through much practice or they
are those 'born lovers" who can
no more help making love to every
woman they see than a rose can
stop blooming or a cat which
promenades the back fence can
help sending his melodious howl
skyward to the moon.
Men | have loved-now that
would be an interesting series, if
you like-and the most interesting
thing about that series would be
to trace the strange family re-
semblance between the different
men, not in looks, perhaps, but in
manner or character or DISPOSE
ton; for Mary Smith falls in love
with John Smith and not in love
with John Jones, for a mysterious
reason that is so much deeper
than the mere passing fancy of a
vagabond heart that neither she
nor John Smith have the faintest
idea of ths tremendous force
which is worRlng out it's own
problems through the medium of
their little passing WITNESSES that
they're pleased to call by the name
of "love."
Men who have made love to me
come, personality woman, tell US
the truth. What kind of love was
it, and how did you like to have
them make it?

A WASHINGTON woman has
u written to me asking my
\ advice in regard to getting
a divorce. And while she
has evidence that would entitle
her to her freedom in any court
in the country l hesitate, for her
own sake, to advise her to pro-
coed.
Getting a divorce is frequently
the equivalent Of that childish
maxim: Cutting on your nose
to spite your face" Freedom is
exactly what the guilty party is
looking for, freedom to go his
own gait unhampered by a wo-
man who no longer interests him.
Doing Him Favor.
And unless he is a public man
whose reputation is likely to suf-
fer by the publicity involved in
the scandal the wronged wife may
be doing him the greatest possible
favor in giving him his freedom.
But a woman in the frying pan
seldom reflects on the greater dis
comfort of the fire. Her impulse
is to escape her intolerable posi-
ton at any price, which she does
often, only to find that she has
made things infinitely worse.
This is especially true where
there are children who are fire.
quently the worst sufferers from
the results of a divided home. A
glance at the daily papers must
convince any woman that to col
lect alimony from a man, not a
millionaire, is about as easy as
freezing cream without ice. The
court awards the long-suffering
wife alimony, but it is another
matter to collect it.
And failure on her part to col
lect this source of income has
driven many a girl and boy into
the world with the handicap of a
too scanty education in order to
help out the family budget.
NisfOrtunes Traced 10 This
Source.
And many a man and woman
who have never been able to make
good have traced their misfortunes
in life to this source. So, for
her children's sake, if not for her
own, a woman should consider well
every phase of a divided house.

The war which has started a
boom in many industries has not
passed by the divorce mill and the
connection Is not far to seek. For
the first time the unframed, middle
aged woman is able to earn money,
and old indignities assume new
proportions, and with them fresh
possibilities OF redress.
The middle-aged woman argues:
why should / stand this, when l
am able to earn my own living?"
But" hasten to ask her, will
you be able to earn your living
when the war Is over and you are
that much older and more tired
than you are now"
And how Is this spirit Of in
