The exact status in the social fab
ric OF that pet aversion OF anarchists
communists and Bolshevists, the
bourgeois. is discussed in the Revue
des Deux Mondes by Andre Lichten-
berger. He clears the ground with
page or so devoted to an exposition
of just what the bourgeois is.
To this end he gives three dehni-
tions before coming to his own.
Louis Blanc, for instance, says that
the bourgeoisie Is the ensemble OF
those who possess capital and the in
struments OF labor, Andred Liesse
says the bourgeois is a man with the
gift OF order who possesses a sense
Of economy and a true concep-
ton OF the family. Rene Johannet
says the bourgeois is every man to
whom the control OF private property
furnishes complete or partial inde-
pendence, and who. profiting by a
certain amount of leisure. deVotes

Another innovation is of almost

and rightfully so, that no one OF the

HGruard's Chances
To Win Lessened
By Second-Line Men

CAMBRIDGE Mass, Oct 21.-Things
look pretty tough for Harvard in the
football game scheduled with Penn
State in the Stadium tomorrow. The
team that Coach Fisher was forced
to pick to-day to start the contest is
mere shell of the regular eleven of the
last few weeks. Captain Kane at left
tackle and Fiske Brown at guard next
to him are the only regular players
in the rush line In the hackfeld
George Owen, who has played every
game in which the regular team has
started, is the only first string per-
former working.
Here is the list Of players that Man
ager Higgins said this afternoon had
no chance of going into to-morrow's
game: Fits and Crocker. the regular
ends; Grew, regular right guard; Jenk-
ins, regular night halfback; Pfafman,
the drop kicking substitute; RouiIlard
and Herman. Charley Tierney's place
at right tackle is taken by All Ladd,

Lafayette Fauorise
Over F0rdhay1, ct the
Polo Grounds To-day

Local football fans will get a real
taste Of high class football this after
noon, when Fordham, the only unbeatcn
metropolitan eleven, meets the power
full Lafayette team. This game will be
played at the Polo Grounds and crowd
of at least 0,000 is expected.
Lafayette is slight favorite over
Fordham. This is due mainly to the
Eastonians' early season triumph over
Pittsburgh, that team coached by Glen
Warner, which had gone through the
two previous season without once being
defeated. A point in favor of the local
lads lies in the fact that Joe DuMoe,
the Fordham COACH knows the coach
ing methods of Jock Sutherland, the
Lafayette mentor.
In their short practise at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon the Ford
hamites showed a world of pep. Though
the players realize that they are fac
ing tomorrow the best Small college"
team in the East, they have plenty of
confidence.
For the first time in several years
the Fordham team will play without
their familiar maroon football jerseys.
AS Lafayette's color is also maroon,
Fordham had to pick some other color.
The management chose orange.

is troubled with bad shoulder; while
Hurd, the heaviest man on the team

practice this week.
Despite these handicaps, Dartmouth
is going to make fight of it and hopes
for victory. A big mass meeting was

which the entire college-over 1000
students. and many professors and
alumni were present.

five thousand lovers of football will
flock into this little town to witness
the intersectional football game be-
tween Princeton and Chicago to-mor-

vaded the East to face Princeton, but
her players were defeated.

Westerners will step upon the field as

tenn which has been developing under
Alonzo A Stagg for twenty-seven years,
with heavy line, four fast backs, and
with Captain Mcclure, All-Conference
tackle, to play opposite Captain Stan
Keck, of Princeton. But the Tigertown
team is not dismsyed, and Coach Bill
Roper announced with decision after
practice to-day that princeton is go
ing to win.
Tonight at $3.50 the entire student
body of Princeton paraded from the

to-day was tho statement by Coach
Roper that Princeton's veteran full
back Hank Garrity, who was injured

if he is needed.

British Marvel
Scores Handilv
In Final Round
Miss Cecil Lcitch Over
whelms Mrs. Hucknall
at BelIeclaire, III Up

Miss Cecil Leitch's visit to this coun-
try has not been wholly in vain. This
wonderful English golfer did not get
the prize she was especially seeking
here, the American women's champion
ship, but yesterday, in defeating Mrs.
Thomas Hucknall, of Forest Hills, in
the final round of the Belleclaire Club
tournament by an overwhelming score,
she won a beautiful diamond bracelet.
This was the first tournament the Brit
ish marvel has won in this country
since her arrival; but if she remains
here long enough it is quite certain
she will add many more to her list.
Mrs. Hucknall is a very fine player
and good fighter as well; but, bat
Ting against galloping gale and one
of the greatest woman players in the
world who IS now playing at top speed,
she did not have chance. At the end
of the morning round she was ten
down The match ended officially on
the outgoing nine holes in the after
noon, although Miss Leitch accommo-
dated the large gallery by playing out
the entire round with Mrs. Hucknall.
The official result of the struggle was
II up and 10 to play
At the present time there arc really
only three women players in this eoun-
try who have at least an equal chance
Of beating the rugged English lassic
over the thirty-six-hol route. Miss
Marion Hollins, the present national
champion, and Miss Alexa Stirling, who
lost her title to Miss Hollins, are two
Of that trio. The other is Glenna Col
lett, the Rhode Island star, who was
beaten in the semi-fnal Thursday by
Miss Leitch by and i.
1t is rather unfortunate that the
tournament committee made the mis-
take Of reconstructing the original
draw, for it is likely that under the
first arrangement Miss Collett would
have gone to the final round; and un-
der normal conditions Miss Leitch or
with an easy victory over the Provi-
dence miss.
The reason is that Miss Collett,
along with Miss Leitch, Miss Hollins
and Miss Stirling, has the punch, the
power and the ability to get distance
which most women golfers lack. In
spite of the whistling breeze yester-
day, the aggressive Cecil was getting
good distance with n low Grive. Mrs
Hucknall, with all her fine rhythm and
| fnesse, was generally shy of her oppo-
nent one full stroke in reaching the
green.
Consequently it is not hard to see
why England's golf queen romped home
an easy winner. On some of the holes
with following wind Miss Leitch got
off drives that measured nearly SOC
yards.
