BIG STAD|UMS IMPROVE GAME Compel Colleges to Face
 Stronger EleVenS

New York. Nov, 21.--Gtgantio stadia. which have caused college athletic officials to bolster their foot ball schedules with stronger eleVeng to entertain the ever-increasing pa- tronage, have eliminated the once famous "uncrossed goal line" Per- haps the forward pass has had much to do with the change, but where once Yale trained" during the early season against acknowledged weaker opponents for the Harvard contest the New Haven team now meets such teams as Army and Dartmouth early in the fall.
 Construction of the enormous bowls and horseshoes in all sections of the country, made necessary by the growth of football interest, has. moreover, filled the athletic coffers to such enormous extent that even the smaller institutions are able to provide more expert coaching, re- sulting in the production of stronger eelvens This also, perhaps, &C., counts in great part for the dis appearance of the uncrossed line.
 Two years ago. that mighty team from Wisconsin. Marquette, de- tended its zeal to such an extent that only a field goal was scored against it during the entire season. This season the Connecticut Aggies have permitted but one touchdown, although two field goals have foatsd between their posts. the nearest ap- rroach to perfect defense any eleven has made this year.
 University of California recorded the best defense for the 1923 seal son, winning nine games and holding it's opponents scpreless in eight. Southern California, however, man aged to score one touchdown against the coast marvels.

washington, Feb. .. - President
Coolidge's proclamation on the death
of Woodrow Wilson follows:
BY the President of the United States
of America.
A PROCLAMATION
Te the People of the United States:
The death of Woodrow Wilson, pres
ldent of the United States from March
4, 1913, to March 4, 1921, which oc-
| CURED at Ill o'clock today at his
home at Washington, District Of
Columbia deprives the country of
most distinguished citizen, and is an
event which causes universal and
genuine sorrow. To many Of us it
brings the sense of profound personal
bereavement.
His early profession as n lawyer
was abandoned to enter academic life.
III this chosen field he attained the
| highest rank as an educator, and has
left his impress upon the intellectual
| thought of the country. Prom the
| presidency of Princeton Univtrsity he
was called By his fellow citizens to be
the chief executive of the state of
| New Jersey. The duties of this high
| office he so conducted as to win the
| confidence of the people of the Unit
| ed States, who twice elected him to
| the chief magistracy of the republic.
| As President of the United States
he was moved by an earnest desire to
promote the best interests of the
country as he conceived them. His
acts were prompted by high motives
and his sincerity of purpose cannot be
questioned. He led the nation
through the terrific struggle of the
world war with n lofty idealism which
never failed him. HIT gave utterance
to the aspiration of humanity with an
eloquence which held the attention of
all the earth and made America a new
and enlarged influence in the destiny
of mankind.
In testimony of the respect in which
his memory is held by the government
and the people of the United States,
l do hereby direct that the flags of the
White House and of the several de-
partmenta buildings be displayed at
half staff for a period of thirty days
and that suitable military and naval
honors under orders of the secretary
of war and of the secretary of the
| navy may be rendered on the day of
| the funeral.
Done at the city OF Washington this
third day of February, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and twenty four, and of the independ-
| ence of the United States of America
! the one hundred and forty-eighth.

Secretary of State.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-02-09

had not been able to express his ideas
and ideals were sort of religion to
them.
But he showed himself a statesman
as well as voice. He played the game
masterfully. He established sympathy
between himself and his man or his
crowd. He made few If any mistakes
in taste or judgment. He matched
his mind" to use his own expression,
with the best of Europe and he got his
league of nations before the peace
conference and got it adopted.
President Wilson's two months In
Europe may be divided into phases.
When he landed the attitude toward
the league of nations was this: The
government of France was antagonis-
tic; Great Brltain's was suspicious;
Italy's was skeptical. The first phase,
his triumphant progress through
France, England and Italy opened the
eyes of these governments to his hold
on the people. The second phase, the
preliminary work of the peace CON
ference, convinced these governments
that President Wilson had an idea
rather than set plan which he pur-
posed to force upon them.
Contemporary estimates of President
Wilson at home were as wide apart as
the poles. Senator j. Thomas HefiiI.
(Dem., Ala) when representative
spoke on the floor of "WoodrOw VIII
son, the greatest apostle Of world liber-
ty and democracy since Jesus Christ"
Senator Thomas w. Hardwick (Dem.)
of Georgia, said January 81 in the SEN
ate: 81 believe in a written .constitu-
ton. believe in a strict Interpretation
of 1t and believe that unless
we leave and abandon this mad satur-
MALTA of Imperialism here at home and
return to the ancient principles of our
fathers there will be no safety nor
happiness for the people of this re-
public"
Senator Albert B. Cummlns Rep)
of Iowa expressed the halfway view
when he said in the senate January

most intensely practical statesman OF
this or any other day. He began his

WILSON: Great
in WORLD WAR
Momentous Struggle Placed
Him at Zenith of Human
Power and Fame.

Woodrow Wilson, twenty-eighth
president of the United States, was
the human phenomenon of the World
war, the most momentous of all the
wars of history. At fifty-four he was
no more than university professor
and political writer. At siXty-three he
was in place of fame and power un-
surpassed in history. What place will
history give hgu2
The great war brought to the front
many men whose names will live in
honor. In the last analysis three men
stand out: Wilson, Lloyd George,
Clemenceau. OF these three 1t was
Wilson who held the worlds eye-Wil-
son, the human phenomenon of the
times, until fifty-four no more than Il
college president and political writer
and at slXty-three on Il pinnacle of
fame and honor and power unsur-
passed If ever attained by any man
In history.
1t is impossible now to dlfferentiate
between Woodrow Wilson the man and
Woodrow Wilson the head of the most
powerful nation of earth in wealth,
lbllllllS NSl fanny
he could not have reached the place
he held without great ability and ex-
traordlnary capacity for leadership.
By virtue of his place he became n
focus of world attention as soon as
the great war began. Before the armi-
stice was signed he had become n
great moral leader with the ear Of the
peoples of the world. Only as such
could he have forced upon the allied
world the unofficial acceptance of his
project of league of nations, with its
fourteen points as set forth to con-
gress January 49, 1913.
Abroad and at Home.
The enthusiasm evoked by President
Wilson's visits to Paris, London and
Rome was proof of his unique place in
the regard of the people. 1t was evil
dent that he was to Europeans not so
much a man as a vOlce-a voice put
ting into words what they wanted and
