|NO TRUCE LIKELY
 IN COLLEGE WAR
Talk Of HarYard-Princeton Meet
 ing Is Dropped for Present

Cambridge. Mass, Dec. 14 Pl-A Harvard Princeton truce seemed farther away than ever today.
 Despite general taciturnity here following a meeting yesterday of the Harvard student council it became known that efforts to bring the stu dent bodies of the two universities together had been dropped. tempor- arily at least.
 When Princeton severed athletic relations with Harvard after the Crimson had refused to consider the Princeton football game on an equal footing with the annual Yale en- counter, an attempt was made to bring about new understanding. Leo Daley, president of the liar. yard student council. and Joseph Prendergast, president of the Prince ton senior council agreed that five representatives from each of the two bodies would confer on terms.
 It was these delegates which the Harvard council has decided not to name. But the only explanation available was that the basis for the new rapprochement failed to suit the Crimson council.
 A generally accepted statement Of those terms included the stipulation that the peace move appear to be Initiated by Harvard, and an agree ment that Harvard alternate the final football game of the year be- tween Yale and Princeton.
 William J. Bingham, director of athletics at Harvard. recently de- clared in favor of making the Yale game the only fixture on the Har- ward schedule but at a. subsequent meeting of the board of overseers 1t became known that official sanction had never been voted by that body.

BOYS CLUB WINS
 ITS THIRD GAME
Locals Beat PaWneeS Of Meriden
 by the Score Of 37 to 25

The Boys Club basketball team won it's third straight victory of the year by defeating the Pawnees Of Meriden last night by 37-25 on the club court. The first half of the contest was exceptionally fast, but the speed lessened toward the end as both teams sent in substitutes and the club eased up its terrific pace. The Pawnees proved the fast est team the club has faced this season, but Captain Nick Gill led a smashing attack which tore open the Meriden defense, while the vis- itors were so harricd by the New Britain guards that they could do almost no shooting until the last quarter. The play of the winners last night was so fast that memor-
 es of the unbeatable 1o24-l925 quintet were conjured Up and a conviction grew that the present team was almost the equal of that former combination.
 Silva began the scoring with a single point after being fouled, and
 Kraszewski made 1t 30 with a field
 goal. kocin began a great night
 with a double-deckcr, but that was
 the closest the Pawnees ever came
 10 the club, for Kley scored on two brilliant shots and Gill hooked in q pair of his famous left-hand
 losses. At the quarter the score was 1c-4. Goffa's work featured the club offensive in the second
 session; he scored three baskets in
 quick order.. the tally at the ten
 minutes rest being 26-9.
 Zapatka and Levin took the floor in the third quarter, but the former
 was not in his usual form. J. Shul- ga went out for Meridcn and his | brother, s. Shulga. took his place at watching kley, irolding the New Britain center even in T great per
 sonal duel which kept the two men
 always within a few feet of each other and watching each other closely. The new Shulga scored q pair of baskets 10 equal Kley, but the club kept drawing away to 35-17. The fourth quarter began with four scoreless minutes. the play having slowed up considerably and ragged fumblng having taken f the place of the clean handling of the ball evidenced before. kocin of the visitors at last found the hoop
 after a night of tough shots, and the Pawnees made ten points to the clubs two in the final period after Gill, Kley and Goffa had been re- moved for subs.
 Nick Gill was the hero of the
 night. his passing dribbling and all-
 around foorwork being the tiorcest
 and CleVerest seen on the club court
 in some time; he completely baffled
 the Meriden boys and took and kept
 the ball away from them almost at will. Kley continued to show i'm
 provement in every department and
 scored 14 points from the floor. Sliya's defensive work was of his characteristic bril!iarce, while Gofia hattled in his accustomed manner
 and held his two opponents without
 a point. kraszewski played q nice
 passing game.
 Kocin was the star of the visiting team, making l3 points, several sof his shots being sensational in char actcr. Once he threw over his head , into the hoop and several times he cut loose q deadly hook from the { side court. s. Shulga's watching Of

EVER SLEEP IN
OPEN AIR?

CPRING is here. Spring with
~ warm sunshine and little
frolicking soft winds and tiny
green things pushing up through
the earth.
It's calling from the hills and
fields. calling to everybody to
come out of doors.
Poor little big-city kids, and
their Just as poor mothers and
daddys. They hear the call COM
ing in at the open windows and
feel, perhaps, that they must
turn deaf ears.
But they needn't. There's open
country at the end of every car
line, and there they should go for
the good of their souls and bodies,
at least once each week.
Start out early Sunday morn
ing with a lunch basket and
make a day of it, tramping coun-
try roads, breathing in new life
under branches that are begin
ming to wrap themselves in misty
green.
For the small town family, the
one with a cottage and a back
yard, it's possible now to enjoy
all the benefits of the open coun-
try throughout the entire spring
and summer
Have one of the youngsters
build a little brick grill in
corner of the yard, any boy scout
or campfire girl knows how.
Have him, or her, paint a little
wooden table and some chairs.
and plant screen of shrubs or
vines in front of them. Make It
the summer dining room and the
grill the summer kitchen and
have the family meals here on
pleasant days.
The food will have to be sim.
pie. But simple food is what you
want when you're eating in the
open air.
Thus you will save the labor
of more elaborate cooking and
preserve added time for the en-
joyment of life and the summer.
Even dishwashing may be dis
pensed with, for the paper plates
and cups used upon the outdoor
table are burned after each meal.
And why not pitch sleeping
tent or two in the yard around
on the sheltered side Of the
house?
Try it and see how rested you
feel after a few hours sleep in
the open air.
