HARVARD MAY
CAUSE BREAK
IN BIG THREE

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. ia
rupture in the Big Three of the
football world looms as a possibility
if rumored changes in lanyard
1927 football schedule are completed.
It is reported that the Crimson
eleven will play Michigan at Ann
Arbor on November 5, 1927. the date
that normally belongs to Princeton.
The famous triple clash of Har-
ward, Yale and Princeton is matter
of football tradition. Many reforms
in gridiron rules have had their
origin in agreements among the Big
Three, such as the transfer rule and
eligibility rule.
There is something more than SEN
timent that binds the members of
the so called Big Three together, and
the opinion of the alumni of the
three institutions generally is that
Harvard will not deliberately bring
an end to the alliance.
Yet If Harvard goes through with
IFS plans, which have been consld-
cred for some time. of playing
Michigan, either the Princeton date
must be changed, and this Will nee
essitate the dropping of Dartmouth,
or else the Tigers must be content
to omit Harvard from its schedule.
AS far as the 1927 schedule is con-
cerned, it looks now as if both Dart
mouth and Princeton will be dropped

To Work Imboden Road

The Imboden Journal states that
State Highway Commissioner Herbert
Wilson was there last week and gave
the information that work on the Po-
cahontas-Imboden road would start
about May Is.
This road is probably more dreaded
by travellers than any other stretch
Of important road in this section of
the state. From POcahontas TO Birdell
the road has been kept in excellent
shape, but from Birdell to Imboden the
sensations of an autoist are compar-
able to those of farmer riding a walk
ing cultivator over rocky new ground.
If the money spent in replacing broken
springs, etc, easing sprained backs
and comforting frayed nerves had been
placed into n fund for improving the
road, 60-foot concrete highway could
have been built and paid for in cash.
The Highway Department also plans
to widen the narrOwguage bridge over
Spring river at ImbOden, according TO
Manley Jackson, local boss of the state
road crew.

Dear Friends at Home and Elsewhere ::
Before leaving home many friends
asked me to write to them and since
have been here l have received a
number of kind letters expressing re-
gret on account of my illness and hopes
for my speedy recovery. 1 find, how
ever, that it will be a matter of i'm
possibility to write separately to every
body who requested me to write to
them and to answer all the letters l
have received personally. SO l will
send a few words to all through the
Star Herald merely expressing my sin
cere thanks for the kindly interest in
my welfare and the many kind words
to me before l came and since have
been here.
This is my tenth day and except for
extreme weakness l am feeling very
well. My doctor says l have a favor
able case and that with proper rest
and care for several months or a year
| may be completely restored. I am
going to do my best to take the rest
and care as l want to come back to
my family and friends at the earliest
possible day.
In the meantime, while l am here,
| would enjoy letter, if only a few
lines, from all friends everywhere. Ad-
dress me in care of SanatOrium, Boone
