JOE NEVILLE IS BACK AGAIN ON
 YALE VARSITY

New Haven, Oct. 14---In prepara- ton for the approaching melee with Boston college, the Yale varsity went through a gruelling drill in the bowl yesterday afternoon. Joe Neville, the halfback, whose elbow was dislocated a week ago, was at the field in uni form for the first time since his in Jury, but it is problematical whether he will be able to play against Boston college next Saturday.
 After a long signal workout, the varsity was given individual coach ing. The regular coaching staff was assisted by John D. OwsIey, '05S, head coach of Tom Shevlin's great eIev ven i; Clinton R. Black, ITS; Emil Jackue, '1SS: Frank s. Butterworth, '95. The backs were given a long kicking drill and then watched a lively scrimmage between a picked-up first team and g. college team, the lineup being as follows:

When the American Olympic team sailed for London to compete for the worlds greatest athletic hOnors in 1908, this country was conceded more
 than an even chance to win almost every event except one. That was the Marathon Race. Although we had some great runners for that race, Loues the Greek had won the Athens
 Marathon of '96. Michel of France triumphed in Paris In 1900. Sherring the Canadian breasted the tape first at Athens in 1908. This country had only won the event once and that was in St. Louis when Hicks carried off the laureIS in 1904.
 The American starters in London were Ryan, IOrrisseH Tewanina, For shaw, and WeIton. Tewanina, the lit tie Indian, was our one best bet For show and Ryan were given the next preference as possible winners. Per haps the least heard of and the least thought of was little Johnny Hayes. Hayes had been a department store clerk in BIoomingdale's, New York. The management of the store had taken an interest in his athletic anlbi- ions and generously constructed a track on the roof of the building. i There, after hours behind the count
 CT, Hayes would jog around and talk l COIIldeIllly Ol Ildh1Il3 tie Oly1nplC 1 team, which oddly enough he did.
 They made a big reception of 1t, ! the store employees, when Johnny i sailed with the team for London. | They wished him the best of luck
 and hired a big band to escort him 1 to the dock where the steamer was.
 But for all that it Is doubtful If they | really expected to see him win the l gruelIing classic. It was the crowning g | honor in Hayes friends eyes that he
 should be selected for a place on our 1 team.
 But Hayes did win and the event I will go down in history as one of the
 most sensational foot-races of all 1 time. It was a genuinely thrilling 4 moment in sport for the spectators, anxious walters of the result on this l side of the water, and for Hayes and 1 Dorando, the defeated, alike.

 story as this great Olympic hero wit messed the finish of the stirring oc- i casion:

FRENCH WANT us. BOXERS ID
 INVADE PARIS

New York, Oct. 14.---The work of the A. E. F. boxing champions in France during the last twelve. months has given the French boxing fans a desire to see the best American box CTS in action in Paris. This is the word brought back yesterday by Cap tain Ben F. Steinel, of the American Red Cross and Y. M. c. A, who has just returned from overseas service.
 Steinell has been officially requested by I. Theodore Vienne, prior to the war the best-known boxing promoter in France, to sign up all the best available boxers for bouts in Paris. The French promoter will stage the bouts at the Wonderland Club each alternate week.
 ''M. Vienne wants only the beet American boxers," said SteineIl yes- terday, and I have been commis- stoned to try and induce such men as Benny Leonard, Kid Herman Mike Gibbons, Johnnie Kilbane, Jack Brit ton. Battling LevtnsRy and others to make the trip. The French people are also very keen for Bob Martin, winner of the inter-Allied heavyw weight cham pionshtp to make the trip and be matched against Georges Caprentier."

NEW ORLEANS YOUTH
 COINED "SyyEIET PATOOTTE''

The exclamation Sweet Patootie'' is making it's way through the United States and Canada, and people are beginning to wonder where it came from. The expression is said to have originated in the following manner:
 Frank Moran brought Sweet Pa tootie' from New Orleans with a story. When Frank went South to fight Fred Fulton he stopped the night before at one of the hotels in town, and all the bellboys got Jerry to the fact that he was Frank Moran. the fighter. All believed it but the ele- vator boy.
 That night, as Frank was on his way to the quilts. the elevator boy quizzed him; He as<ed:
 Are you the Frank Moran that licked Jim Coffey?"
 Moran smiled and replied, "Yes, that's me all over.''
 The boy looked again and asked: "An' you're the Moran who licked Jack Johnson in Paris?"
 Once more Moran replied "Yes.'
 The boy piped again and asked: And you're the Moran who fought Jess Willard ten rounds?"
 Moran smiled once more and piped That's me-"
 The boy sat down, watched the floors pass one by one, and then, looking up at Moran again, said: "You're some Sweet Patootie'.

WILLIE JACKSON BEATS STU0HY IN
 LIVELY BOUT

New York, Oct. 14.---In the hottest bout of the card at the First Regi- ment Armory in Newark last night Willie Jackson, the New York light weight, was handed a surprise He defeated Tommy Tuohey of Paterson, but he had the time of his life doins so-
 Jackson scored a knockout in a pre- vious bout and tried to repeat the performance, but the leading chal- 1enger Of Benny Leonard caught a red headed Tartar in Tuohey, who fought him all over the ring from the first bell to the last, whining. two of the eight rounds. the sixth and seventh, and making it hot for his man throughout Tuohey was groggy in the eighth from a right uppercut to the chin, but recovered and was fight ing like a wildcat at the last bell.
 Benny Valger trounced Frankie Brown in eight rounds. The French man won every round of an unsatis- factory bout, due to Brown being a poor boxer and Valger being so slow he could not take an advantage of openings or follow up advantages. Valger confessed to 126 and Brown 70 123 pounds.

 ged him up with his head lying for

 started him again. He fell, I think,
 six times. Then at last, about sixty
 yards from the finish he collapsed
 completely. The officials dragged him
 over the turf and a doctor went to
 work on him.

 Hayes had his race all mapped out l from the start. He new just how long 1t would take him to complete the 1 long run. He allotted so many min utes to each mile and never varied his program.

HUCClNS SAYS TANKS WILL BE
 THERE IN 1920

Sew York, Oct. 14-MtIIer Hug gins, manager of the Yankees, Is pretty well satisfied with his showing in New York The Dickie Kerr among big league leaders throws no bouquets at himself, but Just the same the tiny Cincinnatlan is of the opin- ian that he dId about as much with the Tanks as any mortal could have done.
 "I realize that have been criticiz- ed at times since I took hold of the Yankees, and my judgment has been questioned quite freely but l think ] have brought some results said Huggins
 But does the New York baseball public appreciate that am gradually remodeuing the Yankee team? I have just five men left of the regular team of 1917. Baker, Pipp, Peck. Shawkey and Mogridge. I also have retained a few of the youngsters who were with the club in the fall of 1917.
 ''Fve been working especially hard to build up a new staff of pitchers Some of the men I have let go have done well elsewhere, but a fact that Is generally overlooked Is that they were of no use to the New York club, rake the case or Allan RUSSel- lie did good work for the Red Sox when he was sent to Boston in the Mays deal But the fact remains he wasn't delivering in New York. Russell Is a good pitcher, but he couldn't win for me and when had the chance to get Mays and Boston held out for Russell had no hesitancy in letting him go.
 'T believe next year we will have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball With Mays, Shawkey, Quinn, Shore, Thormahlen and Mog- ridge think we will be better forti- fled In pitching than any club in the league Yes, still place Shore among my top-notchers- There is no deny ing that Ernie disappointed Us this season, and If he had pitched for the Yankees the way he used to pitch for the Red Sox there is no telling where we would have finished
 eff Shore had lost his stuff, ] should be alarmed, but the funny thing about his failure last season Is that he had as much speed and could put as much on the ball as any time in his career. But he couldn't control it, es his year in the navy kind of threw him off his game. He got off bad in the spring, and he just couldn't get started. Shores arm is far from gone, but he just had one of those off years that come to the best of pitchers I am willing tc bank my reputation on Ernie again taking his place among the pitchins top-iners of baseball next year,

REFORMS IN BIG SERIES
 ID HELP GAME

New York, Oct. 1.-The worlds series of 1919, a record maker in many respects, brought to light cer- tain features that it would be well for those directing these annual championships to consider. The nine-ga system is not likely ever to become as popular as the seven-game plan and the latter should be re- stored.
 The division of money, too, is still a bit top-heavy in some particulars and too light in others.
 That the victors are entitled to spells goes without saying. That winners should receive more than S5,000 per man and losers more than S3,OOO each for a few days work does not couple well with a charge of $5 or SC for the best seats or even $3 for a grand stand seat.
 From a distance it seems that the men who invest huge sums and get a winner only occasionally are entitled to more of the receipts than under the present system which calls for giving up more than half of the money taken in at the games, some times to players, sometimes to the league treasury, and sometimes to owners of other clubs.
 On top of these apparent incon- gruities comes the lament of the umpires that they should get s2,0O0 per man for their work, rather than $1,O0O, the top figure of previous se- ries. They base their argument on the fact that certain substitutes did practically nothing during the series, yet draw down thousands of dollars. They appear to overlook two inporS- ant features-first that they now get several hundred more than their work would bring them ordinarily, and each official has to do more in a regular championship game than in a worlds series contest where four divide the burden; second, that they are not as important to the success of a series as is the ordinary fan He foots the bills, and it seems unfair to give up advanced prices to pay out such money as winners, losers, and umpires get from worlds se- rfes.
 From both Cincinnati and Chicago have come stories indicating that some fans believed this years series was extended purposely to eight games. Those who know baseball know that this is not true. But such stories are bound to crop out, and the longer the series Is extended the more likely are ugly runors to spring up.
 Seven games are plenty to decide superiority. There is such a thing as satisfying the fans appetite, even with. worlds series battles.

EXPECT LARGE CROWD AT
 BOUTS AT CASINO TONIGHT
Allen In Great Shape for Battle With Jack hte-Battling Reddy and Johnny Shugrue Should

 Allen and White are scheduled to go eight rounds. Manager Mccarthy. who looks after Whites interests, has been willing to bet $500 that his man will get the newspaper decision but no one has taken him up so far AL len has been training hard for this battle and says he will be able to make 133 ponuds this afternoon.

There was g, long time of waiting. The bulletins announced the English runners far ahead at twelve miles, and old English runners shook their heads. The pace was too fast At last they said Dorando, the Italian, was leading. After a long time the gun boomed and we knew he was entering the stadium. He had only a lap to run to the finish. Dorando stopped outside for a little rubbing and simulant Then we saw him for the first time.
 I'll never forget that sight. It was the most awful thing I ever saw. Dorando came tottering in about a hundred feet from where l stood. He looked exactly like a dead man. His head was bound up in a rag, and his eyes were glazed over and eXpressiCn- less. His face was a dull, transpar- ent, tallowy green. His cheeks were sunken in against the bones, and his eyes were in black holIows. He could barely move along. It didn't look so much like exhaustion; rather as if the man had been drugged and was dying on his feet. His knees wabbled sideways and in and out. Now he was staggering along with knock-kneed gait, then with his legs bowed as if they would break. He couldn't mount the incline of the bicycle track across the entrance ana men helped him up. Moving in spas modic jerks he reeled along the run ming track toward the finish line at a. slow walk. Some officious busy body urged him to speed up and make a showing at the finish Doran- do broke into a slow trot, staggered | and fell on his face. They rushed in | and lifted him to his feet.

JACK DEMPSEY NOT

Although 1t is four months since Jack Dempsey won the heavy weight title he has not engaged in any bouts since he doNned Will lard. He promised to be a differ ent kind Of champion but he has not made good, Jack Kearns, Delnpsey's manager, is only talk ing about one lnsatcfh. He wants to send Dempsey against Carpentier, the French champion. But there is no demand fer this match, ow- ing to the fact that the French man would be a soft mark for Dempsey. Let Dempsey meet Joe Beckett of England. or somebody who will give him a good battle.

Over a million dollars is made every year from apricot stones in California. Nearly 1000 tons of stones are obtained from the fruit, and from these the chemist extracts two oils, one known as bitter oil of almonds, the other a new sub stitute for olive oil.

Public School News Budget.

One month of school is gone one
milestone of the nine of the school
year. Each month of faithful work
on the part Of the pupil means a lot
in his or her life even though month
in itself seems so short.
Princeton high school football team
went down to glorious defeat at the
hands, or rather the feet, of Cambridge
team last Friday. The Cambridge
huskies had the advantage that this
was their third game for the season,
while it was the first for the Prince
ton boys. Our boys played a good
clean sportsmanlike game. They
could pillow through the Cambridge line
almost at will and might have made
touchdown at one time in the game
but for a mistake in trying forward
pass at the wrong time. On defense
our team was very weak due to lack
of experience. After we have played
a couple of games we are going to
have our Cambridge friends over here
and expect to get sweet revenge. The
Cambridge team played good game.
They had good interference and
tackled well and, except for weak
line, they have strong team. After
the game the two teams and some
lady visitors were treated to a very
fine lunch in the school house. This
was greatly appreciated by the hungry
players and helped to strengthen the
bonds Of friendship between the two
schools. We sincerely hope that when
the Cambridge team comes over here
on November that the people of the
town and school will turn out de-
termined to show that we know what
good clean sport is, and to help to
give them royal good time. Quarter
back Busch showed himself a good
general and the players of our team
deserve nothing but praise for the fine
work they did in their first game. The
score was 20 to in favor of Cam
bridge. Next Friday we play Milaca
and, if we are not mistaken, Milaca
is in for trimming. Supt. Barton
of Elk River refereed the game at
Cambridge, and we hope to have him
at Milaca as everyone felt that he
gave square deal to both.
The electric fixtures have arrived
and are being installed, and every day
our bilding looks more like school.
By the end of the year we may have
most everything complete and next
year we hope that school will be able
to 60 on unhampered..
The best school is not always the
most expensive or the most up to date.
But it is always the school that does
not tolerate careless work. It is one
that accomplishes reasonable amount
of definite work each day. This we
are trying to do. We feel that the
home folks can help by urging upon
pupils the necessity Of doing every
days work well. ...s. ,
It is quite refreshing for the high

The Tonnage Tax and Primary Bills.
Big Lake, Mimi, Sept. 20, 1919.
The Princeton Union:
Believing that your columns are
open to reasonable discussion of
public questions, and, in view Of the
fact that certain clique Of political
agitators and would-be dictators are
carrying on campaign of misrepre
sentation, and persistently misquote,
misstate and misrepresent the motives
and actions Of public officials, I par
ticularly want to call your attention
to H. F. 104 of the special session of
the legislature, which bill proposed to
amend the election law.
While this bill was pending men,
bers were flooded with circumstances
and petitions to vote against any
change in the present primary law.
A curious fact in connection there
with was that all these petitions were
typewriter and worded exactly alike,
which would indicate that they did not
come from the people spontaneously.
The petitions go on to say that 80
per cent of the voters of your county
are opposed to any change of the
fundamental principles involved in the
primary election system, and if left to
the voters themselves no such change
in a backward direction would be toll
Grated, and speaks of the encroach-
ments on the rights of American citi-
zens, and protest against any such a
change in the primary election law
such as is contemplated by ''big bust
ness" and ask that the people be pro-
| tected in their inherent rights, etc.
wellknown earmarks.
Now, what was it that this vicious
bill proposed to do? It called for no
change whatever in the present prim-
airy law, took away none of the:Speo-
pies inherent rights Of franchise, but
proposed to add thereto pre-primary
in March, giving the people one more
chance to eliminate Objectionable can
didates. But it would have made it
more difficult for >unscrupulous poll
ticians to worm themselves into office
on someone else's reputation, and
that is just where the shoe pinched.

defending the bill. To my mind it
contained some Objectionable features,
