JOHN JARVIS BACK
 AMONG THE PONIES
Old Horse Trader Couldn't Stand It Any Longer.-Feel of the Flank of Horse the Skin He Loves to Touch.

Couldn't stand 1t any longer" said the veteran horse trader, John Jarvis. Just had to get back to the stable where 1 could look over the stock coming in and going out. like the feel of the flank of horse just like the felIer likes that skin you like te touch, as they say in those advertisements. Yes sir, am back in the game. It. ain't what it used to be. but me and my son Jock can dis pose of few head now and then and turn a dollar and know I'll be hap py down there among the ponies"
 Yes sir, ]. Jarvis, known through out the county, and in most parts of the state, as a former horse dealer and trader is back in the game" he likes. Mir. Jarvis has gone down to the Pomfret Landing farm where his son, "Jocky"-hs right name is Adolph but few know it--has a stable, mostly saddle ponies, but willing to take in anything that looks like horse flesh. The games kind of died out {: ain't what 1t used to be, but l like to play it just the same," said John.
 The father is g born trader. He could match wits with the best of them in the days before automobiles choked the highways. But anyone who was fair and above board with John Jarvis didn't need Go worry. Let some sharper try to put over covered up spavin or a temporarily doetored case of the heaves- We'll John seldom came off second best in a "hoss" trade. Jocky is chip of the old blcck.
 Homely Philosopher
 Mir. Jarvis has closed his little store at the lower end of Main street where his associates liked to gather and lis- ten to his simple optimistic views on life. A Patriot representative would call once in a while when things were not going just right Anyone a bit "dcwn in the dumps" would find a cheering bit of homely philosophy from John of the big hat and, in the winter, the great coat.
 Horses are first with John but he also loves band music. He played the snares in the old St. Mary's band. He was as good as the best of them. The very first, of course, are his sons and his family: Captain Jarvis of the Putnam police force and Joeky. both overseas veterans of the World War; Ernest, third son, was too young to go. Then there is brother, Frank. proprietor of the -plndsI asoqM 'aHRIuD 4aa11S hi9atI tion as an automobile trader is as wide as is his brothers reputation as horse trader. The famhy, and there are other members than those alluded to, has lived in Putnam many years. Down on tine farm with the ponies. and eontented, John Jarvis.

BLOOMINGTON, ind, October 49,
The smashing attack of Colgate Uni
versity's foot ball team carried 1t to a
2l-to-6 victory over Indiana University
here today, and evened the Maroon's
1929 record against Western confer
ence teams.
Anxious to atone for a defeat at the
hands of Wisconsin, Colgate opened
I'D its fireworks Immediately today
to gain a 14-point lead. Dowler, a
speedy and deceptive halfback, dashed
down the side lines for the fasteners
first score, and in the opening quarter
a pass from Hart to Yablok for 20
yards contributed the second counter.
It took these two touchdowns to shake
Indiana from the lethargy of previous
games. Opening furious attack with a
pass and two runs for 20 and is yards
by Todd and Ross, respectively, the
Hoosier swept to the Colgate 5-yard line.
Here the Maroon line held, but pass
Hughes to Brubaker, was good for q
touchdown.
The Big Ten team held the advan-
tage in the third quarter. but was un-
able to score. Colgate took advantage
Of break for its final counter. Re-
covering an Indiana tumble on the 20
yard line. the Fasteners sent MacaulSo,
big fullback, plunging through the
guards for FIRST down and then Hart
ripped through for touchdown.
The game was played under a warm
sun before q Dads Day crowd Of 10000.
