Mr. Lefevre was one OF Wash
ington's most dependable diplo-
matte bachelors and had come to
be regarded as more or less Of
permanency, so that his transfer
comes as a bit Of a shock. There's
a silver lining to the cloud, how.
ever. in the possibility that they
may be grooming Mr.. Lefevre for
the post that he has filled so often
and so successfully as deputy and
that at some not too distant day he
may come back here as minister.
He has been attached to the lega-
ton Of Panama in Washington for
ten years and for four years has
been charge d'affaires.
Mr.. Lefevre's charming sister,
Miss Ramona Lefevre, who has
presided over his household for
several years, will also be greatly
missed. She IL now abroad under

The rentals for bath houses at

Army is "Aces UP"
at White House

IT is expected steps may be
taken soon to raise the rank. pay
and allowances of Lieut.. Col. Clar-
ence o. Sheriff., military aide Of
President Harding, to those of full
colonel. The job Of chief military
aide to the President, while dec
orative on occasion, is no sinecure,
although it is one of the prizes Of
the army service. In its more
magnificent aspects 1t consists OF
everything from making formal
presentations in the White House
to helping the Chief Executive on
with his overcoat. Colonel Sher-
ills main duties. however, are as
superintendent OF public grounds
and buildings of the District of
Columbia. He has plenty to keep
himself occupied when he is not
on dress parade. In 1903 he
served as junior aide to President
Roosevelt, so he knows his way
around the White House.
After Major Archie Butt, aide
to President Taft, lost his life in
the Titanic disaster in 1912, the
army was not especially in evil
dence at the White House. Rear
Admiral Cary T. Grayson occu-
pied the spotlight during Mr.. Will
sons administration. Now, how
ever, the army is aces up. Briga-
der General Sawyer, who received
his military rank almost over
night, is Mr.. Harding's own ply.
sician, and Colonel Sherill his chief
aide. Brigadier General Herbert
Lord has just succeeded Brigadier
General Dawes as director of the
budget. So the President is sur
rounded with khaki.
Mrs. Harding, moreover. scarce
ly moves without Major Baldinger,
the one Of the White House aides
who is most frequently detailed rs
her personal escort. He watches
over her as a son might and there's
a touch OF human interest about
his presence at the White House,
since he began his career as a
newsboy on the Marion Star,
when Mrs. Harding was business
manager thereof. and used to bully
the boys in one breath and mother
them in the next.

Williams Expects to
Give Yale Real Battle

WILLIAMSBURG, Oct. II. - Coach
Percy Wendell of the Williams foot
ball team started work in earnest to-
day preparing the Purple eleven for
the game with Yale at New Haven
Saturday Although the outcome of
meeting with Tufts last week was
something of disappointment, de-
termined effort will be made to PRO-
vide Old Eli with worthy opposition
in the coming clash.
Robinson, Jones and Gregory, three
first string men who were out of the
Tufts contest Saturday because Of in
juries, are beng carefully groomed
this week in hopes that they may be in
condition to participate III the Yale
contest. Jones and Robinson are two
veteran 1inesnen, who are consistent
performers, while Gregory is a back
field man. 1t is yet too early to state
whether or not they will play against
Yale. No chances will be taken in
using them, as the Purple is headed
for the annual battles with Wesleyan
and Amherst, hut it is considered
likely that all three may be in the
lineup Saturday.
The other Williams regulars are in
good shape and, barring further acci-
dents in practice this week, the team
should be able to give Yale battle.
With it's first string men available,
Williams possesses a stout line, which
may bother the Bulldog at New Haven,

Harvard-C entire
Game Will Draw
Crowd
Public Seat Sale Already Ex-
hausied, Leaving Many
Disappointed Prospective
Spectators for This Event

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 17.-Center
College, making probably its last ap-
pearance In the Harvard Stadium next
Saturday, will meet the Crimson eleven
before crowd that will pack the great
amphitheater, it was indicated to-day.
Public sale of seats in Boston and Cam
bridge to-day exhausted 10000 and left
prospective spectators in line disap-
pointed. The last lot Of 5000, held
over until the day before the game
to minimize speculation, will be taken
quickly, it was believed. In all, about
$1,000 tickets will be sold.
The recent edict on football policies
given out by the presidents Of Harvard,
Princeton and Yale, in the minds Of
those familiar with the situation here,
will make impossible continuance Of
the Center-Harvard rivalry now in it's
third year. The record to date is q
victory for each team. Head Coach
Fisher, Of Harvard, said to-day he
would start the varsity eleven as it
opposed Holy Cross two weeks ago. Re-
ports from Center College indicated
several changes in the Kentucky line
up, due to the reinstatement Of Sha-
doan and Gordy.
