Dr. Sun Yat Sen for some time had been suffering from cancer of the liver. and In December was operated on In an effort to prolong, If not save, his life. After the operation 1t was declared his condition was critical and that there was no hope for his recovery.
 The daily bulletins issued by his physicians had shown that Dr. Sun was growing weaker and weaker, and Wednesday night 1t was declared he had taken turn for the worse. He refused to accept food and his friends expressed the fear that death was near.
 As the southern leader yesterday was slowly passing into his final sleep his headquarters In Canton announced that his troops had occu- pied SWatow, in the province of kwangtung, whence all the rebel leaders were said to have fled with out giving battle.
 Few. If any statesmen, past or present, have known more ups and downs, more victories and defeats, more loyalty or more treachery, than Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the first pro- visional president of China, fre- quently called "the Father of the Republic" and often referred to as the George Washington of the Far East"
 Long in Public Eye
 The name of Dr. Sun first began 10 appear in newspapers of the western world back in the late sos, when his vigorous announcements against his arch-enemies, the dy- nastic Manchu Emperors of China, attracted some slight attention. He was then living in the Hawaiian Islands with his widowed mother who had migrated to Honolulu with her husband, an agent of a Christian mission, when Sun Yat Sen was an infant

The series arrangements call for
a total Of GO games, 80 to be played

SEEKS TO REMEDY

Harvard Crimson Suggests Abo-

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. up -

Harvard Crimson today will sug-
gest a remedial program which in
cludes abolition Of spring and pre-
season practice and Scouting, cur
tailment Of afternoon practice, APP
pointment OF a Harvard man as
coach and discontinuance OF public

Other suggestions would keep
academic admission requirements
as strict rs at present and would
continue the rule against post sea-
son games. The Crimson deplorcs
the 'prcponderance OF space de-

newspapers" THE doings Of pro-
fessional football teams may. in fu-
ture, come so to fill the public eye
as TO remedy a large part of this
evil The custom of picking ALL
American teams is the last stage Of
that cheap ACKNOWLEDGMENT through
newspaper publicity which tends TO
create in students minds false
sense Of values. The Crimson, there
fore, has discontinued this year It's
old custom Of picking an all sta

plores the habit Of sporting Writer'S
to make college players the butt Of
their gibes and witticisms. This
practice is decidedly pernicious.
Because a player makes an error in
a football game, his career IN life
may be ruined by branding him be-
fore the public as the man who
dropped the punt"
A radical departure from the
present system Of picking the var

who want to play football would
be assigned to class teams and for
the first month OF college inter-
class games would constitute the

GREAT STREAK OF

WillimantiC SubdueS Locals in
Rough Game,-ReSerVeS Lose

The Boys club Is buried in gloom

gun by last years team and carried
TO 10 straight last week by the
present outfit was shattered last
night by the West Ends OF Will
mantle, and not only that. but tho
club team showed practically moth
ing and played a decidedly weak
brand Of ball, Neither team showed
much even remotely approaching
basketball, the little that was ox-
hIbitcd being demonstrated by the
visitors at widely scattered mo-
ments and enabling them TO take
a 1913 victory.
The West Ends were much
heavier team and used their
weight to its utmost. They got off
10 an early lead when Cailouettc
and Haggcrty shot baskets and had
a II lead at the first half. keep
ing the club from penetrating their
defense. GIL opened the second
quarter with the first field goal for
the home team and kley shot an
other and a foul. but Haggerty
dropped in one to make 1t 9-6 at
the half. The third quarter was
still slower, each side tallyng only
a field goal and foul.
Out on Fouls
Storrs and Rabinowitz were sent
out on fouls as the fourth quarter
started, and the club started, two
shots by Gotta tying the count at
1913 with three minutes to play.
The last came on follow-up of a
foul which took Caillouette out Of
the game. New Britain showed its
sportmanship by taking out Swan
son and leaving four men on a
side. Waiver then found his eye and
dropped two, Haggerty adding an
other for the 1913 score.
The game was rough. slow, and
poorly played, passing being wild
and many easy shots being missed.
Stanley Gotowala was the only
bright spot, plaing a great defen-
sive game and keeping his head
while the other nine lost theirs.
Young Henry Kraszewski. in his
first big game, played hercoly. but
he has yet to accustom himself to
such speedy work. Captain Kley
had poor night and was taken
out. The club missed IA foul tries.
Haggerty, Waiver and Storrs were
the best Of the visitors. Between
the halves the club drum corps put
on an excellent drill

that Judaism might be regarded with

many an adult today treasures the
memory of his early contact with Jew

the Communistic doctrine among the
growing Jewish generation in Soviet
Russia was boasted of at the All

which opened here recently.
According to figures submitted to
the conference by leaders of the jew

membership in the Jewish sections of
the Comsomol is rapidly increasing.
While at the beginning of 1924 the
membership of the Jewish Comsomol

The present membership of the jew
ish sections of the Comsomol is esti.
mated at $1,000. This represents
2.5 per cent of the entire Jewish pop
ulation in the Union of Socialist So
Wet Republics, and 1913 per cent OF
the Jewish youth between the ages of

Jewish sections of the Comsomol rep

while the Jewish population is only
about pa per cent of the total pop

The increase in the membership of
the Communist youth organization is
due, it was declared, to the extremely
heavy pressure exerted by the gov

educational and vocational facilities
for the youth.
