WHAT FRANCE HAS
DONE FOR DEMOCRACY

France has poured out blood and
treasure to the breaking point to
make the world safe for democracy.
America owes her an enormous debt
of gratitude for this and also for
perfect remedy for stomach, liver and
intestinal trouble found by her peas
ants and used with reported marvellous
results in this country. Geo. II. Mayr
for many years prominent Chicago
chemist, imports the ingredients and
sells this remedy under the name of
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. 1t is a
simple, harmless preparation that re
moves the catarrhal mucus from the
intestinal tract and allays the in
flammation which causes practically
all stomach, liver and intestinal all
ments, including appendicitis. One
dose will convince or money refunded.
Sold by Chiffon & Co, and druggists

to say at Hampden Sidney 1t re-
minds me of that old Hampden Sid
ney spirit. They are all so patiotic,
lively and optimistic. They are just
aS full Of feeling as we Southerners
are. and they have soft, sweet music
too. Their band music is not half so
bla-ing as ours is. Their bands are
right funny. They have a whole
squad (eight men) of each instrument.
When we came into their towns they
paraded, celebrating. The little kids
al carried torches. They held them
both their own band men and ours.
As we passed one village two old nuns
brought to the road crowd of school
children, bright eyed. rosy checked
little fellows carrying big punches of
flowers and flags. They came along
laughing and shouting give L Ameri-

The roads in Belgium although hilly
are very pretty. There is lots of
spruce and balSam there and the long
columns of soldiers swinging along
them made very pretty scene. We
were the advance guard most of the
way so We're the first to pass through
the villages and all the people were
out to see Us.
We were sorry when we passed over

In a season of advanced develop
ment of the forward pass and the
field goal as weapons of football
attack, today's game stands out
ith notable instances of each.
Spectators will long remember the
Yale's only score In the last period.
The ball carried So yards with a
25-miIe wind through the center of
the Harvard goal, after Braden
had booted it with his line bending 4
under n strong Crimson attack.
Scarcely less notable was Casey S
touchdown for Harvard, gained in the
second period, through the surprise ac-
complishment of forward pass. The
Harvard star, catching pass thrown
16' yards by Quarterback FELTON,, ran
from Yales 22yard line to the goal
posts.
The Crimsons touchdown was COM
pleted by a goal kicked by Ralph Nor
ween. The latter in the first period
had sent Harvard ahead with field
goal booted from the 40yard line. In
a game that contained no Braden, Hor-
ween's feat would have been considered
remarkable. 1t became ordinary in the
light of the Yale mans drop kicking
performance.
Harvard's back field men. as repre-
scented by Casey and Ralph Horween,
furnished the punches which registered
Crimson victory.
CRIMSON LINE HELD
The Crimson Line supplied a de-
Tense which, under menace of
Blue touchdown in the third period,
-
IS and robbed Yale of a tie and of the
ball. 1t was virtually the only sus-
tanned show of strength by Yale in
the game.
The Blue team was its own greatest
enemy today. 1t fhmbled frequently.
Four times the ball, headed for the
Harvard goal was lost to Yale and
turned against the Blue by fumbles in
the Yale backfield. On four other occa-
sions Yale players lost the pigskin, but
their errors were retrieved by fellow
players Men who have followed foot
ball for years said there had never been
50 much faulty handling of the ball in
any other big game.
The contest was staged under lower
ing skies which dimmed somewhat the
riot of. color in the amphitheatre and
wooden stands. The stadium was
crowded to an extent never equalled
previously, entrances being closed to
make additional seat accommoda lions.
and the wooden stands at the opening
end of the horseshoe being enlarged
over any previous year
The last meeting between Yale and
Harvard on the~gridiron in 1916, in
which Yale won, to g. had marked an
interruption in the football successes
scored by the Crimson under Haugh-
tons coaching.

ZbYSZKO TO MEET
Cutler AT B. A. c.
TOMORROW NIGHT
Fans May Look forTrouble
When Zbyszko Is One of
the Wrestlers," Says
Secretary of Club

- Tomorrow night at the Birmingham
Athletic club Wladek Zbyszko and
Charles Cutler. both well-known crap
piers. will meet in a al1s-out-of-
three finish match. Each wrestler is
a top-notcher and is a contender for
the worlds championship title.
The bout at the B. A. c. tomorrow
night is expected to be a mighty close
one. and experts are predicting a hot
fight from start to finish. Despite the
fact that zbyszko rs the favorite to
win, many local fans declare that he
will have the time of his life in dis
posing of Cutler.
Zbyszko, as everyone knows is
about the strongest man on the mat
today Although ne is not as skillful
tremendous strength always pulls him
out of tight holds.
"There is one factor that works
against the mighty Po!e,'' said w.
Il. Woodruff. secretary of the
club. sand that Is his ungoyern-
able temper When his opponent
loses control of his temper, and
great demonstration follows. Fans
well remember the bout between
ZbySzko and FreberE. in which the
former lost his temper. and as
consequence the cool Freberg
clnmped a terrible head scissors on
Zbyszko that the Pole had consid
craI difficulty in working out OF.
This moment of rashness almost
En-.
the worlds champion.
Therefore. fans arc always as
Sured of an interesting time when
Zbyszko appears here. for he al
ways seems to be looking for trou-
BILE with his opponent"
Cutler. although he has not the tre-
mendous strength that Zbyszko has,
is the peer of the mighty Pole in skill
and science Cutler has had consider
able experience in the pat game and
knows practically all of Xhe catch -as-
catch-can wrestling holds. Although
the odds favor him. 1t is not thought
that Zbvszko will have a walk-away
with Cutler.
Athletic Director Hutsell has been
working hard on the preliminary pro-
gramme and has arranged a list OF in
.teresting events for the fans. There
will be the usual amateur wrestling
and boxing and negro fights, Coach
Hutsell announces that If his plans
materialize he will be able to spring
something new on the fans tomorrow
night These prelims are quite, often
worth the price of an admission Ncket

that Monday nights junior bill will
