YALE GUARDS AGAINST
ANY FURTHER INJURIES

A signal rehearsal, followed by kick.
ing and passing drills and the de-
velopment of plays to be used
against Princeton, will fall to the
lot of the Yale varsity this after
noon, it was announced by the
coaches. The Ellis will take no
chance of further injury to their
players and are nursing Bingham,
varsity end, along in the hope that
he will be able to play on Saturday.
Bingham appeared in uniform yes
terday for the first time since his
injury, but his condition is such
that Hart>1s almost certain to start
the Princeton game.
George Connors, trainer, said to-
day that Lindley would be ready to
play part of the game in the
back field, but made no predictions
about Bingham.

BY the time the new year is :ung
in golfers in this country viii have
spent the rather appalling sum Of
$500 ,oOO, 600 for the twelve months
of 1924. A statistician has figured
it out like this:
Club dues, 100000.
Cor apparel, $50 100000.
Caddies, $4O.OO0,OOO.
Balls, $S0,OOO.OOo.
Club construction, $25,000,00o.

Golf clubs, 100000
Seeds, 5000. 900.
Lockers, SO, 900 900.
Golf bags, $4,000. 900.
Travelling to and from the links
and money spent for lunches, din
ners and at the nineteenth hole,
500. 900 900.
And this statistician goes on to
say that at least twenty-five more
than that total will be spent by and
for golfers during the year of 1925.

Few chances will be taken in the
early stages.
1t will be a far different contest
than the one that proved so inter
esting to the fans last Saturday
1t is our opinion that the team
that makes the first mistake is
going to find itself on the wrong
side of the final score.
Both teams are going into the
game alert and ready to make the
most of a rivals mistakes. Safe
and sound football will be played

appears WITH the u1SCIOSuFSs
The teams look well matched.
Princeton has a superb attack,
Yale strong defense. JUST which
will prove the stronger only the
game cantell 1t is likely the fac
tor of surprise that sent tho Grim
son team down to defeat will not
be in evidence in Saturdays game.
Yale knows that the safe ana
sane rules of conservative football
have been thrown to the scrap heap
down at Tigertown. The throwing
of a forward pass as the opening
gun in the Prihceton- Harvard con-
test has left outsiders unable to
guess what Roper viii pull at the
Kickoff this weekend. However,
the fact that his Eli rivals know
that he is likely to do most any
radical thing is going to forrify
them against the same sort of sur
prise the Crimson players received
last Saturday.
To our way of thinking, That
forward pass was the thing that
made PrincetOn's Offense go as
well as it did. No ono in the
Harvard team was able to act
without feeling of uncertainty.
When coach can get rival
team in such state Of mind 1t
Is easy pickings for his charges.
Yale is sure to profit by the Grim.
son mistakes. The Blue coaches
are going to warn their charges
against being carried off their feet
by any sudden and unexpected sur
prise in the form of some startling
piece of strategy. This is going to
prove big factor in the final re-
suit
We do not think the Jungletown
crew will show the same consistent
offense against the Bulldogs as, they
did at Cambridge last Saturday.
Besides being robbed Of the factor
of surprise the Tigers will find a
stronger and moe uniform defense.
Yale has what might be termed
the greatest defensive team Of the
East. Pennsylvania is the only
outfit that can be compared with
the Bulldogs. Lou Young's players
have stood up under the assault of |
all rivals without breaking ground
in disorganized fashion. Yale |
has performed the same way. Dart |
mouth came to New Haven with a |
well planned and much diversified |
attack. The Blue team solved this
style of offense in very COM

Mr.. Scott, who is Judge of the Allie

Judge Scott recalls the courtship of

married." Upon hearing the general
inquiry, James Howat arose and said
he thought 1t was about time he was
settling down and Marion Rankin,
knowing that she was the girl of his
choice. stepped to his side, and the
second wedding of the evening took
place.

ties of kinship married on the same

RENT BOARD REVERSED

Case Involving Findings of Value
on 81 q and v Street Houses

Chief Justice Mccoy and Justices
Stafford and Siddons, sitting in gen.

tions by the District Rent Commits
sion, today reversed the findings of
the commission in two cases relating
to properties of the Capital Construc-
tion Company, comprising 81 houses
on u and V streets northwest and
on Portner place. The appellate
tribunal finds that the evidence fails
to support the findings of value
reached by the commission. The
cases are sent back to the commits
sion for further proceedings.
In view of the conclusion reached
the court thought 1T not necessary
to consider a motion for a rehearing,
in which Attorneys Conrad H. Syme
and Blaine Malian, for the construc-
ton company, had claimed that the
rent act Is unconstitutional because
refusing an appeal on questions of
fact and allowing appeals only on
questions of law.
This Is said to be the first appeal

PoINcARE GIVES WARNING.
Says Herriot Must Not Conced,
Too Much at Farley.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

By Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1924.
PARIS, July 14.-Premier Herriot will
go to London tomorrow fully empowered
by the French Parliament to represent
France in the London conference, but
he has Ibeen warned not to make too
many concessions.
Such Is the gist OF Poincares hve-hour
speech Thursday. The Senate will give
a vote of confidence to the French pre-
mier, and he no longer will be able to
say that the intrigues of his political op-
pbnents prevent him from pleading the
cause Of France.
Poincare's speech was mild and
there was an apparent EFFORT to spare
Herriot. It was more in the form of
a lecture to inexperienced officials in
trusted for the first time with an i'm
portant mission whom he wanted to
warn to be careful to elude the traps
of British diplomacy"
Even Poincare's criticism of the
new Franco-British memorandum was
mild. He merely pointed out that in
case Germany intends to evade the
application of the experts report
Frances freedom of action will be
very much handicapped. Poincare
urged the government not to allow
Germany to send representatives to
London. to discuss the application of
the experts plan.
Germany" he said. should be
asked to come and say definitely yes
or no, because If the Germans are
permitted TO discuss the plan they
will never apply IT.
