Tigers Were the Best.

We saw Princeton al its best. we saw
Cornell at its best. We have contrasted
cur impressions and we have added re-
sults-and out Of these has come the
definite idea that Princeton was en-
titled to the championship of the East
That's Just our personal opinion Cor
nell may not like IL. Harvard may not
like the idea Of being placed behind Cor
nell But it's O mortal opinion
The matter OF opinion stands out all
slong the line in our effort to name the
top twenty of the East. Here and there
YOU will note startling contradictions on
the basis Of single scores. For example.
Harvard is placed third and vet Brown,
which defeated the Crimson by to o.
- no better than number fourteen.
Brown is fourteenth and yet Dartmouth,
which closed it's season with n great
triumph over the Bears by Z to o, is
rated sixteenth. The Army is fifth and
tho Navy, which was barely nosed out
by the Cadets. is tenth.
However. only in rare instances did
single performances figure definitely
In the assignment of a ranking TO an
eleven. And IL must be appreciated too
that the gaps between places are not
very big. In some cases II would have
been better to group several teams in a
class and let II go at that But having
started out to give each team n definite
rating We have persisted and, without
question. displeased many. And so have
we proba bly, pleased many, all of which
should balance in the long run and
leave US perhaps a bit happier after
this great season.

CHILD BURNED FATALLY.
Is Overcome By Smoke in Barn and
Escape Cut Off.

The three-year-old daughter OF
Dan Holloway, of this county, was
burned to death Friday afternoon
when the barn on the Holloway farm,
near Rives, was destroyed by fire.
The little girl had been playing in
the barn with her -year-old
brother, when the boy set fire to
some shocks of grain in the building.
The little girl became frightened and
hid in the corn crib while the boy
ran to the house for aid. The child's
mother reached the burning barn
just in time to see the girl crawl up
on the corn and then fall back, over
come by the smoke. Two mules and
several head of hogs were burned to
death at the same time and the corn
and grain stored in the barn was a
total loss.
