JOHN BRADFORD MEMORIAL

A number of years ago a group of
newspaper men made a pilgrimage
to Lexington from Cincinnati, where
they had been in attendance at a
journalistic conference. to pay hom-
age at the shrine of John Bradford,
editor of the Kentucky Gazette, the
first newspaper published west Of the
Allegheny mountains.
Then IL was found that, although
copies of the paper he had edited in a
frontier town at the very dawn of the
eighteenth century were the much
priced possessions of libraries and
historical societies. and history re-
served prominent place for Brad
ford's name as among the pioneers of
American journalism, no marker of
any kind indicated the spot where he
had established his paper and spent
the latter part of his useful life.
Faced with this situation, num-
Der of history lovers of Lexington
formed and incorporated society
which should have for its purpose the
perpetuation of the name of John
Bradford The work of this society
has now resulted in the launching of
a campaign for the raising of funds
for the Bradford memorial. the initial
step of which win be taken in the
broadcasting of letters to newspaper
editors and history lovers everywhere
in an effort to interest them in the
move
'It is the newspaper editors. more
than anyone else, it seems to me,

the Bradford club, said, who should

Attacks upon the proposed loan by
the democrats became general today.

declared the previous democratic admin

loan but had delayed carrying 1t out
until Liberia complied with certain con-
ditions.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.--Ffuis will b
written tomorrow at the foot of most oil
the college football schedules in the east
The two outstanding contests are the
classic clashes between Harvard ana
Yale and the Army and Navy.
Not In many years have the two games
been played on the same afternoon. Re-
gaFdleSs Of the double bin however. more
than one hundred thousand ticket appli-
cations wsTe Of necessity refused for
both the New Haven and the Philadelphia
games.
Outcome Hinges on Breaks
The outcome Of these two games, like
many another this fan. appears to hinge
upon the breaks Of the play and the
Qu1cknesS with which opportunities to
soore are seen and grasped. In the case
OF tho Yale Harvard struggle the Ellis
appear to be a trifle stronger IN line and
back field and to have a more powerful
offense. To date this offensive has not
been remarkable for briuiancy In hand
ling and has several times slowed down
TO mediocre standards at the most crucial
moments In Of advance. Whether In the
final game the appearance of Harvard
in the Yale bowl will stimulate the Blue
to unexpected heights Of play against It's
traditional rival from Cambridge Is some
thing that only the game will tell.
Yale Has Better Line
Yalo has a strong, powerful line with
a particularly impressive center trio. 1t
probably is stronger than the Harvard
center and guards. The Crimson ends pos
sibly hold sufficient superiority to counter
balance and thus equalize the lines. The
Blue back field both in first and second
string material Is r better scoring COM
bination than HarVard's. But II Is not
likely to function with the same smooth
ness and deceptive power as the Grim
sons, particularly II Buell. Is at quarter
for Harvard and plays through the game.
For Harvard both Quarterback Buell.
