EXEMPTION MAKES
 TWO LONG PASSES
Features Yale Practice With Throws of 50 Yards, Which
 Bring Touchdowns

New Haven, Nov. 3-A hard forty minute scrimmage against a powerful scrub team yesterday afternoon was featured by two forward passes from Kempton to Cutler, the left end, each netting 50 yards, followed by a touch down by Frank Kelly.
 The varsity lined up as follows: Cutler, left end; Mackay, left tackle; Quaile, left guard; Calvin, centre; Herr, right guard; Walker, right tackle; Dilworth, right end; Kempton, quarterback; Campbell, left half back; Kelley, right halfback; Jordan, fullback.
 In the signal drill which preceded the scrimmage Capt. Callahan and Acosta played in the guard positions, but on account of their injuries they were replaced by Herr and Quai1e when the scrimmage started. Quaile will play in the game Saturday against Brown, and it is more than probable that either Herr or Into will be in the other guard position, though Into may play tackle in place of Mackay.
 In the scrimmage Thorns Murphy, who had replaced Kempton, made a a first attempt had been blocked by Bean and the ball recovered by the varsity.
 The coaches outside the regular staff who were here over election day were Foster Rockwell, head coach of Morse's team of 1906; Clarence A1cott, Alll-American end of 1907, and L. H. Bigelow, who was captain that year.

ITALY'S SUBSOIL
 RICH IN OILS

Rome, Nov. 3.-Great interest has been aroused in industrial and com- mercial circles by the announcement that Italy's subsoil, according to re- cent experiments, is extremely rich in mineral oil, which she was hither- to forced to import from other coun- tries, chiefly the United States. En- gineer Mario Grossi, who has made a special study of the subject, says that large deposits of oil exist at Ripi, in the province of Caserta, only two hours by rail from Rome, and that oil in practically inexhaustible quan- titles is to be found in Basilicata, in Apulia and almost everywhere in Southern Italy. The difficulty con sists in the fact that the oil lies very deep, necessitating heavy expenses for boring. At Ripi, where two Canadian boring machines have been installed, the production already amounts to about 1000 litres of oil a day Italy consumes over 100000 tons of mineral oil year and hither- to only produced 5000 tons, utterly inadequate for her needs. In order to develop the oil industry at home, thus emancipating Italy from the heavy tolls she has to pay, especially to America and : which amount to about 50O,00O,000 lire year, the government has decided to spend 100000 lire (nominally $1,00O,OO in buying machinery and in founding a school for specialists

way, the right of way to the kings mail! They knew no obstacles. And yet in the long roster of those who explained the stages there was not one who ever abused this privilege. The royal mail stages received fresh relays of horses every twenty miles and they always travelled on the dead run.
 Over New Trail.
 In the early years of the White Pass and Yukon royal mail service the great trail followed the route of the Yukon river. But a new trail was built through the magnificent scenery by the Canadian government. An overland route. And not only the stages used this trail but practically all of the multitude of travellers, pros pectors, patrols of the Royal North west mounted police, went back and forth from trading post to trading post, from camp to camp.
 And now the famous old stages are gone, the stages of the royal mail. But the great white trail remains, the great white line of the overland trail that links the Klondike and the out side world during the long Arctic winter.

REILLY MAY PLAY

Chains Practicing Hard For Williams Same In New
 Haven On Sunday

The Williams eleven of New Ha- ven hears that Eddie Reilly, veteran quarterback who has been playing with the Graphophone team so far this fall, will be with the Chains next Sunday in New Haven when the teams will clash in their n turn game. The Chains will go to Weiss park in New Haven and they hope to repay the Williams outfit flor the defeat sus- tained on their own field last Sunday.
 Lack of, training and regular prac- tice is given as the cause of the Chains defeat last Sunday. To over- come this condition the Chains have been called upon to practice three nights this week in anticipation of the Williams game.

Captain Quigley won the game for Bridgeport against Providence last night at the Casino on a free shot which came as result of foul con- nitted by Finnell, the visiting center, in the overtime period which was necessary to decide @ winner. At the end of the regular 45 minutes of play ing, the teams were locked in tie at four each and both teams entered into the extra period with a deter imitation to make the game as short as possible.
 For several minutes the two clubs fought back and forth in their efforts to get a goal, but theFba1 refused to roll for either of them. . Finally Fin nell fouled Williams and the Bridge port club was given a chance to score on a free shot. Quigley stepped to the center and pinned the ball with such seepd at conley that the latter was unable to get his shin guards over to his right in time and the ball whizzed past him for the goal which decided Bridgeport as the winner.
 Bridgeport led at the end Of the first period, to i, while at the end of the second period the score was tied at three all and at the close of thief ourth period the score again stood tie. to 4. Williams made the goal in the third period which tied up the count and he was given an ovation for so doing. So great was the applause that the game was held up for several seconds so the players could hear Referee Williams whistle to start them off again.
 Mulligan tallied the first goal in record time. He beat Pierce to cen ter and hooking the ball away from the visiting first rush, Mu1ligan took shot at the goal and made it.
 During the first period, Captain Quigley took a shot and his fierce drive was made for a goal, but instead the ball hit Conley's mask with such force that the goal tender reeled and almost fell, but he grabbed the cage and steadied himself. He staggered around in the cage for several sec- onds and it looked as though he had been knocked out, but he recovered his compoSure and continued in the struggle.

Famous Royal Mail Stages
 Have Passed Into History

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 2.-The royal mail stages of the Klondike have passed.
 No longer will the famous stages of the White Pass and Yukon Route, drawn by fleet-footed horses, steered by picturesque drivers who knew no fear, go flying over the white trail north from Dawson into the Rlondike. The frozen hills Of the North country no more will echo back and forth the stage drivers as they brought their vehicles through the canyons and passes, the beating of hoofS that heralded the sleds of the royal mail, the kings mail-for they have gone.
