Princeton's Play

Princetons play was hardly sensa-
tional, but the Tiger attack was at
least alert. :ersatile and full of speed.
Trimble was the star of the day, de-
spite the fact that he had been sick
most OF the week with an attack of
tonsilitis. You can never tell what
these sick men will do, to recall again
the battle Of Ouimet and Evans
The Tiger had no great power, but
he had ran.e and speed, and he was
willing to fight back all the harder
when the Blu ldog took the lead. This
game was c.mplete overthrow of the
ancient psyche 'ogy which has ruled so
many Princeton affairs Trmble's S
all-around ability lifted him we'll above
all others on the field His play against
Colgate. Harvard and Yale proves be-
yond argument tt. vt he belongs among
the leading stars e the year-the man
that Princeton ha. needed for long,
long time.
1t might be just a. we'll to recall the
very fine work of he ofticials-Tiny
Maxwell, Carl " lliams and jim
Thorpe, who ran the game off with rare
Justice and without delay.

Yale VS.. Princeton

Princeton's ability to come back
after her hard battle against Harvard
reflects great credit on Bill Roper,
Keene Fitzpatrick and the entire Tiger
squad. 1t was wonderful game for
the Tiger to win. But absorbing no
credit from Princeton's great uphill
fight. the showing of the Yale team in
the way of modern football was amaz-
ing.
1t is hard to imagine football team
in one of its big games as being SO
completely futile with the forwar
pass. Not once through the entire
game did Yale pass work Most of
them were thrown with such wild
abandon and with such crudity that
they fell from ten to twenty yards out
of range. Most of them were not even
close to a Yale receiver.
Yale had vast amount Of physical
bulk and physical power, but the old
rules of play were changed for the ex-
press purpose of preventing the rule
of bulk and power. Under the old five
yard game Yale would have been ex-
tremely formidable. But that game
died out over decade ago, or some
thing ike it. AS the game started
Yale looked to have the bulk Of noun
tain group and she handled the pass
ing game just about as we'll as a group
of mountains would.
Not one completed forward pass in
sixty minutes of play-it all sounds
unbelievable, but the vital statistics
prove that it is true.

All, All Are Gone
With the downfall of Colgate and
Dartmouth on Saturday the sole sur
viving claimants to an Eastern title
skidded blithely into the bosky dell.
Now all, all are gone-the old familiar
champions.
One by one they have received it
under the right or left ear until none
remain-except Haryard-among the
major leaguers of football to get
measured for an olive wreath.
Dartmouth, after beating such pow
erful elevens as Penn State and
Pennsylvania, fell before Brown, which
had been trimmed by Harvard, Yale,
Syracuse and Colgate. Dartmouth was
within two points of an unbeaten rec
ord, but the big green array with its
battered lineup couldn't quite go the
distance.
If any one eleven had to be singled
ont we should say that Syracuse came
close to turning in the two greatest
achievements by crushing Pittsburgh
and beating Colgate decisively. But
before Syracuse starts cheering she
must turn mournfully to 14-0 beat
ing Dy w. ana J.-anu tHerc you are.
The Long, Long Trail
The long, long trail of the beaten
East now includes Yale, Princeton,
Pittsburgh, Penn State, Pennsylvania,
Colgate, Dartmouth, Syracuse, Wash
ington and jefferson, West Virginia,
Lehigh, Brown, Cornell, West Point,
Annapolis-all of them in the upper
realm save Harvard
And Harvard can hardly get very
far this season by pointing to victory
over Yale, even if Harvard beats Yale,
which she hasn't done yet. No one
who saw Yale play on Saturday is
going to testify that ability to win
from Yale is a championship token.
Not quite. For Yale has already been
trimmed twice. And in addition it
must be remembered that Harvard
drew less glory out Of the Princeton
game than the Tiger did.

hasn't that name a familiar ring?-

increase interest in, the Happy Jack
clubs.
Happy Jack Squirrel is, seen seated
at table, in the panel on the front
of the big tree. He has q Thrift chest.
in front of him, and a couple of tricky
fellows are climbing, the ladder to
add their mite, while other Happy
Jacks are scurrying through the forest
in the same direction.
This is the spirit of the Happy Jack
clubs. In the school referred to, as
each pupil joins a squirrel is added
to the picture, bearing the initials of
the new member.
Mr.. Chace writes: Our children
have enjoyed your Happy Jack Thrift
Club very much. and the plan has re-
suited in the saving OF hundreds of
dollars in Thrift and War Savings
stamps, which otherwise would have
been more or less wasted"

Conditions.
Save and. haYet

Save and have!
Remember the story of the ant and
grasshopper? The ant worked and
saved. The end of each day found
him with, a little more added to what
he had the day before. The grass
hopper danced and sang and fiddled
his time away Winter came; the ant
had, plenty. The grasshopper had
nothing; he had not saved. He went
to, the ant and asked for help. Said
the ant: while l worked, you fooled
your time away. You can dance now
for all care"
Are you an ant-person or grasshop-
per-person? Some time are you going
to have. to ask for help and will some.
one tell you to dance; or will you. be
independent?
If you save now, you'll have. later

Washington city is facing a serious
water famine, that is receiving the
attention of Government experts. Du
ring the colder months the supply has
been adequate, but with the increas-
ed consumption in summer and with
the greatly increased population of
the city, measures have been taken
to restrict the use of water, while at
the same time plans are under way
to increase the supply some ninety
millions of gallons per day, at cost
of 100000. The supply is drawn
fro mthe Potomac River, 16 miles a.
bove the city, and is brought to the
filtration plant in the city through a
conduit built shortly after the Civil
War. The Capital City has never
before been in such a plight, due to
the lack of water.

being under weight. This has open

will be started to improve health con-
ditions among school children all ov-

MY FIRST THRIFT STAMP.
By Ruth Blank, William Lloyd
Garrison School. Boston.
10 years old.

One day last summer my sister
wanted to go in town. She couldn't
go on account Of the baby. l asked
her if l might take care of him. EYES,.
you can take care Of him." she said.
So she went in town and l took care
of the baby. The baby was very good
for a while. But half an hour later
he got cross. Seeing how cross he
was put him to sleep. l started to
sew when my sister came in. She
asked me where the baby was. l said,
He got cross so put him to sleep"
My sister was delighted that he was
asleep for he didn't like to sleep in
the afternoon. She gave me twenty
five cents for taking care of him. The
clock struck four and l had to go
home When l passed by the post
Office I said to myself, Il am going to
buy a Thrift Stamp. l don't know
what twenty-five cents will do, but
all my friends are buying them" So
l went into the postoffice and asked
the clerk what Thrift Stamps are for.
He told me about everything. So l
got a Thrift Stamp, which was my
first one.
On my way home I met my brother,
When he saw the Thrift card he said,
What is that?" l told him that it
was Thrift Stamp and 1t was going
to help the boys a little. When |
said that he went into. the postofIice
and got a stamp also. After that we
kept on saving and were very happy.

'The Bird Battalion. 104th Infantry,
went forward on July IS, 1918, at two,
o'clock in the morning. The Gowns Of
Tourcy and Gievry were taken from,
the Germans in our advance that day.
l was wounded at about fiee o'clock
in the morning by a high explosives
she'll, fragment of which passed
through both thighs, tearing the left
leg badly. was taken from the field
by the stretcher bearers to a dressing
station in charge of Capt. Kirkpat-'
rick, NJ. C. of Lynn. lie had raised
the, flag of the army Red Cross over q
stone cnlvert under che road The
Boche observers had spotted the flag
and the place was under teFrif1 and
constant shell fire day and night For
tuntefy there were no direct hits dur
ing the time Caps, Kirkpatrick was
stationed in the culvers. nearly 4S
hours.
when l was brought in there were
16 other cases lying on the earth un-
| der stone arch where the doctor
had not been dry weather for several
days before we would surely have
been out Of luck A little rain fell
that morning but not enough to get in
under the shelter.
"The Captain finally came to me
and attended to my wounds. The left
leg he could not do much for and he
said that IL | were not rushed to a
hospital l would certainly lose the
leg. 1t was quite a problem to move
me from that protected place to
hospital where I could get surgical at
tention. The motor ambulances could
not back up to the culvert. The
shells were falling as thickly as rain
on every side of us. Before l was
wounded / never felt fear of being
under fire but believe me with both
legs smashed I was scared cold to go
out where the shells were breaking.
"Mr Lathrop, the 'Y' secretary
with our battalion, was assisting Capt
Kirkpatrick in his care of the wound
ed. He was at work every minute Of
those As hours of the advance in that
place. The moment the doctor or
dered me to hospital, without an -.
stant's hesitation, MIR Lathrop picked
| me up in his arms, walked out of that
culvcrt, and barely escaping death a
dozen times, placed me in a motor
ambulance that was about to leave
