At the risk of having M. Carpenter
resent ph. sically our criticism of his
slur at tennis, we hurl in his teeth that
no mere fighting guy can helittle ten
mis- in our hearing and go unrebuked
"A girl" says he. II will make a ten
mis- champion of her" 1t would be
equally fair, if, regarding son born
without honor or intelligence, we
should say, "Never mind, l will make
him champion pugilist"

AGAINST BUENos AIRES.
Argentine Provinces Are Trying to
Form a Combination.

Buenos Aires, Dec 30.--The Argen-
tine provinces are trying to form a
combination against Buenos Aires, the
capital city. Overtures are being con-
Quoted between p olitical leaders Of
some of the provinces for the forfna-
tion Of league of governors" for the
purpose of uniting the northern agri-
cultural districts of the country
against Buenos Aires and other coastal
districts. Some political observers see
in this movement an attempt to return
to the former division of the country
politically into opposing sections while
others maintain that il merely is an
economic measure having as its pur-
pose the protection of the productive
areas.
To Argentina, the city of Buenos
Aires has the relation of the spout to
the tea kettle and practically all of the
wealth of the country pours through it.
1t is at once the financial, distributing
and political capital of the country. 1t
is claimed by the leaders of the league
idea, the city has disproportionate pow
er and the northern states need union
TO offset this.

CANNELL MAY COACH GREEN.
Is Said to Be Slated to Succeed Clar
ence Spears.

Boston. Dec. 30-The probability
that jackson Cannell, captain of the
Dartmouth varsity eleven last year,
would succeed Clarence Spears as coach
of the Green football team was ex-
pressed by those in touch with the sit
uation to-day. The announcement from
Chicago last night that Spears would
coach at West Virginia next fall was
not unexpected and Cannell, who was
his assistant this year, was expected to
move up as head coach.
Cannell himself to-day said he had
no word on the matter. Graduate Man
ager Horace G. Pender, who is in Chi
eago, is the authority with whom decis-
ion will rest, he said.
The only other name mentioned is
that Of Larry Bankart, a Dartmouth
alumnus who resigned as coach at Col
gate last year
Dartmouth's schedule for next fall is
still incomplete. There is no provision
for a game with Brown at present al
though the date of Nov. is open and
said to be available'if the respective
athletic arrangements can reach agree
R1ent. Other teams tentatively on the
list include Norwich -Middlebury, New
Hampshire, Bethany, Columbia, Cornell,
Pennsylvania and Syracuse.

SAVED FROM PROSECUTION.
Sir Edward Larson Was to Be Tried in
1914 for Preaching Rebellion.

Macclesfield, England, Dec. 30.-The
Irish nationalist leaders, John Dillon
and John Redmond, saved SIR Edward
Carson, unionist advocate, from prose
cution for preaching rebellion in Ulster
in 1914, says Charles +. G. Masterman
who was then financial secretary to the
treasury.
Mr.. Masterman in addressing an au-
dience here blamed Sir Edward for be.
ginning the resistance to the crown
which led up to the present situation
in Ireland, One of his hearers asked
why the Ulster leader was not then
prosecuted and Mr. Masterman replied
'The cabinet was ready to do SO, but
John Redmond and John Dillon, acting
through Mr.. Lloyd George, persuaded
the cabinet not to take the step. They
argued that in three months time the
home rule bill would become law, and
they would then be responsible for
the government Of Ireland. they asked
that they should be allowed to under
take the government of Ireland with
out being hampered by any feeling ere.
ated beforehand by the prosecution OF
Sir Edward Carson. They thought they
could overcome what they regarded as
the plague thumbugl of the Ulster
movement.
"They may have been right or
wrong" concluded the speaker, "but

came"
