YALE WEEKLY RAPS SYSTEM
College Organ 5an1es Defeats on
Antique Football Methods

New Haven. Conn Nov. 24.-The
Yale Alumni Weekly last night threw
up its hands and agreed with the sport
because it stuck TO football of the
antique and discarded type. 1t said
editorially:
THE old traditional hammer and
tongs football, in which Yale's name
was paramount on the gridron for
generations Of Yale players, has gone
by the board not 10 return. Open play,
represented by the forward pass, is the
new order Of things on the football
field, and Yale must accept the change,
however difficult il Is for her mentors,
who have been brought up on the old
system. Yale has learned this lesson,

Spring Sounds

How pleasant are the sounds
of spring, when roosters crow
and hornets sting, and all the
skies are bright! The music of
the babbling stream is like a
song heard in a dream on some
long winter night. The wind
that rustles through the trees is
singing of the sunny seas from
which it doubtless came; there
are no wintry blasts to roar
around the shaking cottage
door, with their. cheap arctic
game. But all the sounds are
sweet and smooth, and they
unite to heal and soothe the
wounds that winter made; and
so we whistle as we go to ply
the muzzle loading hoe, and do
-hings with spade. l hear the
honest watch dog bark as he
attempts to leave his mark
upon the agile cats; hear the
bearded farmer swear while
currying the old bay mare,
which kicks him in the Stats. |
hear the dippy ducks cry
"Quack," as though some doc
we're near their shack, all loaded
down with pills; I hear the
bleating of the sheep, the distant
lowing, long and deep, of cattle
on the hills. 1t is a chorus glad
and gay, the music of a bright
spring day, made up of many
sounds; the creaking Of the
rusty plow, the shrieling of the
hungry sow, the baying of the
hounds. WALT MASON.

Higher Fares-Poor Service.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I read with interest the advertise
ment in your paper of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company
setting forth that $50 cities had in
creased their street railway fares and
therefore they also believe that they
also ought to raise fares. Now
wish to call the attention of Mr.. Will
liam F. Ham, and also the officials
Of the Public Utilities Commission
to the "jerk-water" town service
which we have to put up with on
the line where I live-the Mount
Pleasant branch-and if Mr.. Ham
would take the trouble and expense
to send some of his master mechanics
to some of the cities where they have
increased their fares it is a safe bet
that we would have adequate service
here. Why does not this official take
a large advertisement and tell US how
he is improving the service?
