~ AMBRIDGE. Mass. January
26.--Harvard men who could
give a lot of testimony as to
~ the brand of foot ball played
by Princeton elevens against
Harvard teams accept Wynant Hub
bard's statement that he did not break
into print because of a desire to ad-
vertise himself.
On the other hand. they have the
feeling that whether he did or not.
he and his cause and the medium in
which II was set forth have had all
necessary publicity. They wish to do
nothing that would add to IT.
But this is fact: A long. search
of Boston by the writer failed to
unearth n single responsible Harvard
man who believed that Princeton
teams were coached to play foul foot
ball. Men were found who freely
stated that an occasional Harvard
eleven had come out of a Princeton
game in a more battered condition
than one would ordinarily expect.
But In mentioning this a former
Harvard player, who stands, Incl.
dentally, among the best known foot
ball men at Cambridge, added that
Harvard Princeton games have never
been ordinary games.
I1gerS LaShed to Fury.
This" he went on, '1s because
Harvard has had the unfortunate
faculty of spotting Princeton teams a
condition of exaggerated psychology
warranted to cause any bunch of foot
ball players to tackle and block and
conduct themselves generally with
that extra-super human touch, which
all coaches would like to develop in
their players.
One game, remember Lothrop
Wilmington made a speech at a
Princeton e-game smoker in Boston
in which he carelessly gave the Inn
preston that the Tigers were to be
dropped after the contest.
Another time, on the eve Of this
game stories were circulated that all
Harvard players were to wear nose
guards the next day, together with
other rumorS qualified to make oppo-
nents see red. Still, again, came the
Harvard Lampoon's Princeton num-
Der. which the Tiger players were
permitted to read in the dressing
room before the game. And so it
has gone.
Really, when you come to think of
it, Bob Fisher and Arnold Horween
have not had chance to bring the
competitive psychology of their play
ers up to the notch to which Harvard

 There has been little change in the market for cigars and smoking tobacco. The former has decreased slightly. The latter has been on the | upgrade.
 Cigarettes have been the sensa- tion, data at the United States treasury shows. They jumped from total of 500 millions manufactur- ed in 1881 to s2 billions in 1925. In 1909 seven billion cigarettes were marketed. More than that now are sold every month.

GIRLS EMULAT|NG
 PRINCE 0F WALES Club Formed for Those Who
 Fall Off Horses

Columbia, Mo. June IT Pl-The coed who falls off her horse at Stephens college lands in the Prince of Wales club the minute she lights on the ground.
 Membership in the select sorority is reserved exclusively for maids who have come cropper-and so is the clubs popularity that the girls are finding new ways of fall ing from their steeds in order to get in.
 Fifteen unhorsed young women belong to the club, and they have drawn up charter which they hope their royal namesake will sign. Their falls may not occur in sieeplechases as hazardous as his but the girls fall just as often and just as hard.
 Organizer and past grand master of the club is Ralph Raynor. riding master at the women's college. The first time a coed rider tumbles from her horse she becomes a mem UeF. lucu luS peHdlllcS pC6iH~-loi her second descent costs her treats all around.
 Al master of the hunt presides over the club. A trumpeter sum mons members to the chase. A steward contrives lunches for cross country rides. and whip rides to the front and sides of the eques- triennes to keep them grouped, The keeper of the brush is GUS todian of the whiskbroom with which fallen riders are dusted off. Lay members are hostlers.
 The girls even have their own hunting song:
 This learned institution has a new
 sorority.
 Composed of those who emulate The acts of royalty:
 This called the Prince of Wales
 club,
 And honors the prince. indeed. Who every day in a different way Falls of his gallant steed.'
 The girls hope that Edward Windsor will like their little jest. and that maybe he'll accept an honorary office.

 Moreover, as the old order changeth. snuff is chewed instead of "sniffed." Statistics show that from about four million pounds in 1880 manufacturers have increased their output to approximately for ty million pounds per annum. Gage points out that the deep economic effect of changes in to- bacco habits is due to the fact that the response of the growing plant to soil and climate condi- tions is so certain that production of given types is highly localized. Districts that will produce cigar tobacco may not produce the kind used for cigarettes, and vice versa.
 When changing habit jilts spe- citic form of tobacco. the region with the type of plant that makes it suffers if the soil and climate will not favor a more fortunate type.
 Growth of the cigarette habit, here and abroad, has brought the romance of prosperity to growers along the southeastern seaboard. There the industry is a tuneful rhyme. It's but narrative where
