last night said he had been subpoe-

the New York gambling ring which
engineered the deal and I am pre-

'HARVARD'S LOW
SCORE SURPRISES
FOOTBALL WORLD
Prophets Predict Season
Will Provide More Upsets
Than in 1919 Season. =

Those prophets who have predicted
that the 1920 football season will
provide even more upsets than Its
imm edia.te predecessor will undoubt-
eddy find much encouragement in
some of the results of Saturdays
opening contests When Harvards
margin of victory over Holy Cross is
an anaemic field goal from the 49,
yard line and Rutgers is thrown heav-
lily by Ursinus, the prophets must
road ito being justified. If such sur
prises can mark the opening day of
the gridiron season, they ask, what
will the laterAay produce?
The time seems to have paSSed
| when leading elevens of the country
looked on their first games as mere
| workouts, as an opportunity to try
out signals and a few simple plays
that the coaches had drilled into
their charges during the early prac-
tice days. The good old days Of
| large scores and a triumphant pro-
cession down the field seem to have
| faded away in the past. The vaunt-
| ed Crimson is winner by only three
coached by Foster Sanford, has two
! toucndowns scored against it and fl
| na1ly is forced to accept defeat.
| These two contests were the only
! divergence, however, from the ex-
pectations of football experts. Brown
! Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Georgit Tech
! Washington and Jefferson, Brown
and other prominent elevens were de-
cisively successful They won by
! comfortable but not overwhelming
margins, and they were never com
PEELED to abandon the tactics that are
| associated with opening games. Penn
State and Syracuse, for instance
PLAYED the straightest of football an6
relied solely on line plunges to carry
! the ball across the line.

DISCOVER WHERE
PERRY GOT HIS
CANNON BALLS

An interesting side1ight on Commo-
dore Perry's noted victory on Lake
Erie came to light recently and ex-
planned the source eof the great store
of cannon balls which that naval hero
was known Ito have used in his at
tack on the British ships
Some workmen were digging on the
West Virginia side of the Ohio Riv-
er opposite Steubenville, Ohio, when
they unearthed an ancient furnace of
the sort once used for melting and
moulding iron. Records bearing on
the discovery, found in the county
office, showed that this furnace orig
inally belonged to one Peter Tarr an
early settler in that region. Tarr was
patriotic pioneer and worked labor
iously bringing iron ore from the de-
posts near his home to his furnace
There he moulded the cannon balls
and conveyed them on the backs of
his mules, to Putin Bay-an Kelley's
Island, where Perry's ships were
hiding and biding their time until
! the arrival of the opportune moment
for blow at the British. The source
of the 4Commodore's great supply of
ammunition puzzled the Englishmen
for a long time and the Yankees
guarded closely the secret of the pa
triotic Mr.. Tarr. On September 10,
1913, Perry won the victory over the
British which assured him a niche
in the hall of fame for all time, but
little do we ever hear of Tarr and
his energetic efforts to aid the Com.
modore's gunners.

Salem Witches Hope
To Stop Bridgeport
Roller Poloists Play In Hartford Tonight and Return
Home for Tomorrow Night-Lowell Beaten
Saturday In Tight Struggle

Bridgeport, leaders in the Ameri-
can Roller Polo League, journey to
Hartford tonight to play its second
game and they will return home to-
morrow night to play the Salem
Witches at the Casino. Hartford,
beaten in the opening game by
Bridgeport, has strengthened its
team and expects to give the league
tonight. The Capitol City bunch has
been strengthened by the addition of
Morrison and Lewis. The addition of
these men gives Hartford great con-
|fidencc.
The Salem club which plays at the
Casino tomorrow night is one of the
fastest outfits in the league and al
though Bridgeport beat them on their
own floor in the second game, Sa-
lem had not been together for more
than one day and the defeat has on
~ spurred them on SO they will
come to Bridgeport tomorrow deter
mined to scalp the locals on their
own floor.
Saturday night Bridgeport gave
Lowell a lacing in one of the most
closely fought games of the season
on the local floor. The margin of
victory was only one point The
game was tied up three times and
the lead changed a couple of times
so close and bitter was the play of
the two clubs.
Splendid team play, however, fin
ally won out and Lowells individual
flashes, while spectacular and inter
esting, amounted to nothing as far
as points were concerned. One of
the features of the scoring was the
Bridgeport. RMulligan shot the bah
at the cage and it went high, strik-
ing Braga's hip and rolled off him
into the meshes of the cage.
st. Aubin obtained another game
that was strange one, but. it count
ed against Bridgeport. He shot the
ball up against the netting and as
the ball bounced back it struck the
back of the cage and fell through
the wires for a counter. The sum-

LESSONS CONVEYED BY
POEM "EVANGELINE''

Prof. Noah Porter, the eminent
historian, paid a remarkable tri-
butte to "Evangeline," Henry Wad-
sworth Longfellow's vitally dram
attic poem, which William Fox
will present in elaborate motion
picture form at the Princess Thea
ire on Tuesday, June 1st.
This tribute, which appears in
DR.. Porter's book, "Evangeline,
the Place, the Story and the
Poem," follows -
"The poem is not merely a path
etic recital which moves our ten
derest sympathy and inculcates
the noblest lessons of duty and
faith; it also produces with vivid
intensity a tragic picture of our
national history and, as such, it is
fitted to instruct us. if we inter
pret it Alright, respecting the bit
ter and costly experiences out of
which our present political and
civic blessings have been secured
while it also inculcates the most
salutary lessons in respect to the
harsh judgments which we are
often too ready to pronounce UPON
those whose nationality or whose
faith may differ from our own"

CITY PARK PERMANENT
CAMP GROUND

]. A. Avery, F.. A. Jones, r. M.
Dodd, B. A. Sherk and B. Doug
lass, representing the Mennonite
Conference, were in Yale Monday
discussing the question with the
city council of making Yale City
Park a permanent camp ground.
During the several years this
church organization has held it's
camp meetings in the City Park
an average of 100 tents occupied
by 400 or 500 people have been
placed on the grounds. The taber-
nacle tent formerly used seated
about 800 people, but the pur-
chase of new and larger one is
contemplated with a seating
capacity Of from 1000 to 1000.
Our business men and the cit
liens generally should use every
effort towards securing the an
nual camp meeting in Yale. 1t not
only brings an uplifting influence
to our city, but a large number
of people come each year to the
meetings and they go away at
the close advertising Yale through
out the state.
Let every citizen boost for max
ing our city park permanent
camp ground for the Mennonite
Brethren in Christ.

YOUR LIBERTY BOND
Uncle Sam Wishes to Speak to
You About Ii For Just
A Moment

The u. S. Treasury Department
has sent out the following mes
sage to the citizens of this coun-
try who hold any of the govern
ment war bonds:-
"The United States Government
borrowed money from you to fl
nance the war. You hold the
Governments promise to pay
you back. This promise is called
Liberty Bond or Victory Note.
On this Bond is stated the con-
dition under which the Govern
ment borrowed the money from
you.
"For instance: If you hold a
Bond Of the Third Liberty Loan,
it states that on April 10Th or
October 18th of each year until
maturity, you will receive inter-
est on the amount you paid for
the bond. Other issues bear
other rates of interest and other
maturity dates. all of which are
clearly stated on the Bond.
Now, if you keep your Bond
until the date when the Govern
ment pays you in full for it, you
do not need to worry if. in the
meantime, the price is low one
day or high the next. You and
Uncle Sam are living up to your
agreement with each other. and
neither will lose by it.
"On the other hand, if you sell
your Liberty Bond now, you will
find that the man you sell it to
will not give you dollar for
every dollar you paid for it. The
price has been brought down
because so many people are Of
fering to sell their Bonds. If the
market is flooded with tomatoes
you can buy them cheap. but if
everybody is clamoring for toma-
toes and there are few to be had
the price goes up. The same is
true of Bonds. Short-sighted peo.
pie are dumping them on the
market and wise ones are buying
them.
The best advice that can be
given to the owner of a Liberty
Bond is this: Hold the Bond you
bought during the war; it is as
safe and sound as the United
States Government itself.
Buy as many more at the pres.
ent low rate as you can afford
If you hold them to maturity you
are bound to make the difference
between what they sell now anC
their face value. You will also
receive good interest on your in,
vestment.
Hold on to your Liberty Bond:
and buy more"
