the extent of damage caused in Bel

approximately, the amount OF indem-
nifty which Belgium will demand from
Germany.
In the majority of the factories

the German manufacturers to whom
the machinery was shipped have been
ascertained.

gions OF Mons, Charleroi and Licge

used Belgian coal as currency to OBJ

population suffered from cold coal

ton and Belgians witnessed the spec

 Owing to Desmond's absence both Ryan and Phinney wore used at right end. in the substitute backfeld Ham ilton was used instead of Gratwick. the latter having a bad cold, and who in all probability will not be able to make the trip to Pasadena Harvard is still shy on defensive work, but the first and second teams lined up against each other yesterday and put lot of ginger into their play, although there was no rough tacklinS.
 The Harvard manageme ent hopes that Higgins, the Penn State end rush, will be able to accept Dr. Wilmington S invitation to come to Cambridge to show the players something of the Bezdek style of attack, which Oregon used two years ago against Penn and still is using.
 Trainer Donovan is much pleased over the way the team is getting into physical trim for the game with Ore gon. Yesterdays drill showed very clearly thS,t the eleven is getting back it's smoothest running football. The line coaches are drilling the forwards harder each day, but there still Is much question whether Coach Fisher will order a regulation scrimmage be- fore the eleven starts for the coast on Saturday.
