Coach Clarence Hecox and Coach
Norman Landreau viii ."shoe" their
teams right onsto the field at Union

Washington Canoe Club football
game, expecting to win. - =
The Potomacs are so sure Of land
ing the game that they are willing
to wager some of the trophies they
won on the water last summer. The
Washington canoists, are so positive
they will hand the Potomacs a licking
that they are willing to stack up
some of their many canoe champion
ship trophies on the result.
There are a lot OF followers who
admit their pets are good on the
water, but are curious to see just
how much fight they have on the
land. They are ready and willing to
give over the price OF admission to
see what's all about, anyhow.

SAYS"
F.. Baer::
Cheer Leader Is Important
Gent-Holds. Down Piv-
otal Position in the
Paper Kewpie Cutting
Industry.

Numbering football players is I'M
fair to the boys in the cooler who
earned their numbers in. unfair
competition. 1t is also unfair to the
athletes themselves. Why do the
spectators want to know what it's
all about, when the players don't
know themselves.
Nobody has asked that the cheer
leaders be numbered because even
the most habitual football bug
knows there Amt any fractions
that small. A cheer leader belongs
TO- the sane branch Of the Rotary
Club that admits squirrels in re-
volving cages to active member
ship.
No circus Is complete without a
battery of clowns, and no big inter-
collegiate market Jay would be OFF,
cial without a cabinet of Barnum
secretaries. Cheer leaders are sent
to college because papa and mamma
figure that a pet squirrel is easier
co feed and. takes up less room
around the house. They send the
boy of to Yale or Princeton to study
modern mythology and the hero
glyphics on ancient African tablets.
/ The hieroglyphics on ancient
\African tablets have never been de-
ciphered with profit to the party
of the first part. The African spoke
and wrote a dotted language on
square ivory stationery. There
seemed to be only twelve dots in
their alphabet The Morse code has
both dots and dashes. Science fig-
ures that Afro-Diceo was the Re
morse code.
The ancient Africans used to
shake their education well before
taking and follow IL up with a long
roll for a finishing course. The dots
seemed to have a very peculiar sig
nificance.
Two dots were known as crap and
was a symbol of mourning. Possibly
a corruption of crepe, meaning
something on the doorbell after a
patient had just died. 1t was also
called Snake Eyes or Cinnamon.
Eyes.
Three dots meant the same thing.
Four dots was little Joe. an
orphan, who was the champion
wrestler OF his age. Nobody could
throw him.
Five dots was Phoebe from the
South. a young sister OF Nine dots,
known as Nellie with the Long
Green Stockings.
Six Dots was a point if you made
IL. IL you didn't make II, II was
only a number.
Seven Dots had two meanings. 1t
was or II wasn't. II you didn't
throw It first, II threw you.
Eight was the same as Six. Either
a point or a number.
Ten was Big Dick from Boston
and was the birthstone of Lucretia
Borgia. the inventor OF slow poison.
Eleven was a natural. Named in
honor Of John Burroughs, the great
naturalist.
Twelve was Box ears or Psckards.
because IL was made with twin
skies.
It was a very queer language and
n guy could speak volumes without
saying a word After a cheer leader
graduated in African tablets. he
would GO home, frame an 1. O.. u.
for a diploma and spend the rest OF
his life helping the town loafer to
build up his business.
You may bawl out a cheer leader,
but remember that ne has more fun
for less money than a pyromanlac

PRINCETON TIGERS

Coach Roper Expresses Grief
Over Severe Criticism
of Middies.
By HUGH a. RILEY.

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. l3.-Athletic TO-
lations bewteen Princeton and tho
Naval Academy, which for years have
been very cordial. were greatly
strained by the charges made In the
Princeton Alumni Weekly. of the
date of October 20. last. and written
by Donald Grant Herring. It's athletic
editor. to the effect that the Naval
Academy team. which played at
Princeton on October %. had roughed
Louyie. the brilliant half-back. and
had tried to put him out OF the game.
II was also charged that the Navy is
notable for Its rough and unsports-
manlike playing.
The charges were at once taken up

tic officer at dhe Naval Academy.
nd at different times. player. cap
lin and coach OF the Naval Academy
Iotball team, and as a result OF his
ne Alumni Weekly, to Coach Roper

well-known that the Army-Nayy
game Is the toughest OF any OF the
big games and is characterized by
methods only iustifiable in warfare.

PRINCETON. N. j.. Nov. 1s.-Fcr
the forty-fourtn time Princeton
University will send its football team
after a victory over Yale here this
afternoon.
Ordinarily Princeton's sending IL
team onto tho field amounts TO just
that, for Yale has won 30 many
times II has come to amount TO some<
thing near a habit. Twenty-three
yictorins hsvsy bosr. chalked up TO
the Bi.s cohorts, while nine battles
have yssuItss n siss, ,,,s .,v. :.
to a lo-to-l0 fiefand then whipped
Yale q New haven. This yesr Prince
viewed from "a Princeton, standpoint.
means another Princeton victory over
Yale. 49,.
No matter whether you live In New
Haven or have n brother at Prince
ton. however. the fact remains that
today's contest promises nothing
more than a very hard battle for
Prfnoeaon, in spite OF the alleged pre-
dominance of it's team. Yale Is never
a soft spot for any team, much less
q Nassau eleven.
The fact that Boston College scored
u victory over the Ellis early In the
season means absolutely nothing as
an indication of what will happen
when the Orange and Black and Yale
Blue clash. +-..
When Yale meets Princeton or Har-
ward there Is just one way OF reach
ing q conclusion--wait until after the
final whistle blows.

Americans In Siberia
Were Better Shots
Than Japanese Rivals

HOLLISTON. - "We doughboys
who served alongside the Japanese
soldiers in Siberia are not worry
ing about war with Japan, whatever
the rest of the country may be do
ing. M
1--WE outshot the crack Jap troops
on the range; we outhiked them on
the march, Sand we out-gamed them
thruout the whole Siberian business
and they know it.
I'VE know that there are few
Japanese soldiers at least that are
sincerely anxious not to have war
with the United States"
So says Harry Marcus, Of this
town, who went from here to "do up
those Bolsheviki'' and remained in
Siberia long enough to sympathize
with their struggle for liberty.
He served with Colonel Morrow's
famous twenty-seventh infantry in
Siberia from the middle of 1919 to
early in this year, when they were
among the last troops to be shipped
home.
Marcus served among the mixed
races of soldiers. He knew the un-
happy Kolchak personally. Marcus
has just returned on furlough with
a hearty belief in letting Russia
solve its own problems.

STARVING PROSPECTOR
FINDS RICH NINE

VANCOUVER, B. c. Pedro
Salinas, Mexican, drifted up from
California few years ago and went
to work as a day laborer in silver
mine near Alice Ann, in what is now
a rich mining region south Of the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway. His
only capital was his pick and shovel
in those days and his employer and
old grub-stake prospector, was little
better off. So in. little while
Salinas had 5000 coming to him in
wages, which, with no ore in sight,
the mine owner couldn't pay. Salinas
brought suit. The sheriff sold the
mine under the hammer, nobody
wanted it and 1t was finally knocked
down to the Mexican for the 5000
debt for wages.
Undisputed owner Of silver mine,
Salinas almost starved to death. He
got a job which insured him three
square meals a day and in intervals
of leisure and rainy weather, dug in
his mine single handed. AS the hole
went deeper without his finding any
thing, he grew hopeless. He was on
the point of abandoning work when,
just as it happens in story books, his
last shovelful of earth uncovered a
rich vein of silver ore. He sold his
mine the other day to group of
capitalists for $4,000.
