asked for last year. we secured anc
everything that we ask for this yea:
we will secure also.

a course which Is bound to bring Is
safely into port. We have business be-
fore Congress which II will he our

we are going to ask him TO Supporr any
Of our measures with any kind o: a

For once there is a power abroad in
our organization which recognizes no
political master and which has no par
" boss. We know no Penrose and we
are not acquainted with any Murphy.

their constituents and weak in their

SPORTS

There was quite u sensation caused
In foot ball recently when the Harvard
eleven defeated the crack eleven Of
Centre College Of Kentucky, 81 To II.
The latter team has attracted nation
wide attention because they have de-
feated nearly all opponents. The game
was n brilliant contest and was filled
with sensational plays throughout.
Charlie White wants another crack
at Champion Benny Leonard. White
was dropped In nine rounds ut Benton
Harbor but IL seems that he hasn't
enough OF Leonards punches yet.
White has the record Of having more
chances at the title than any man In
this generation, but he never seems
lucky enough to win.
