Old Superstitions Died
With Use of Telescone

The uses of astronomy began
about 1000 years B. c., when the be-
ginning of the new year. practically
coincident with the inundation of the
Nile, was fixed by observation of
the heliacal rising of the giant star
Sirius.
Egyptian instruments were adopt
ed unchanged by the Arabs, Hindus
and Chinese, but were improved by
the Greeks. Only 1000 or 5000
stars are visible to the naked eye,
and Ptolemy, with his simple instru-
ments, listed only 1922 of them.
Twelve centuries passed before the
monk Copernicus in 1913 reaffirmed
the correct planetary motion, Keep
Ter removed the last doubt by show
ing that the planets moved in ell
lipses instead of in circles. But all
these ancient astronomers worked
only through the. human eye and its
tiny lens. Then came Calico, who
supplied the visual demonstration
hitherto lacking, with his invention
of the telescope in 1910, slender
tube feet long, with concave
mirror 21s inches in diameter, which
collected so times as much light as
the human eye. and with it sudden

With this primitive instrument Cali

established the Copernican theory
for all time, marked the downfall OF
medieval superstition, and placed as
tronomy. the Oldest science, on ar
mistaken foundation forever.

YALE VANQU|SHES
HARVARD, 70 TO D
10000 Spectators Brave
Driving Rain to See Vic
tory in Mud.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
Special Dispatch to The Star,


NEW HAVEN, Conn. November 19.-
Through the sweep of a driving rain
that slashed and soaked 10000 bedrag-
gled spectators all afternoon, Yale
crushed Harvard 10 to 0 in their fifty
first war; The sweeping rain, careening
along in slanting aisles of misery, turned
the battlefield into quagsnire. 1t also
turned 10000 amazed spectators into
lumpy huddles of soaked fur and liquid
suffering, outside as well as in.
Yale, defying the slippery mud un-
derneath and the rain overhead, ripped
the Crimson defense into shreds with
fast, versatile attack led by Lassiter,
Crowley, Levering and Parker, who were
four poisoned thorns in John Harvard's S
flesh. Lassiter, especially with his run
ming and passing, might have been
working with dry ball on sun baked
field. But the Carolina star was ably
supported by stout cast where two
brilliant pass catches by Dud Parker
and O'Conneu started the first Harvard
retreat.
Through the first two periods Har-
ward, though trailing to 0, put up a
terrific fight, with Jack Crickard run
ming amuck more than once. But as
the game moved deeper and deeper ipto
the blacker shadows and the heavier
rain, Harvard broke wide apart. There
were times when the Harvard backs, in
trying to handle the ball, looked as II
they we're graphing with creased pig
or an eel dipped in oil. yThe mud
coated ball slithered and Slipped from
their grips as alert stars in blue fell
upon it and took full possession Of the
New Haven swamp.
Ball Source of Comedy.
This slippery, skidding ball, with its
eel-like actions, was the one source OF a
comedy to a crowd that took far more
punishment than any of the players
This crowd took a terrible beating from
late Autumn skies that opened up one
deluge after another. But there was
little comedy left for wearers of bedrag-
gled crimson feathers as they saw Yale
pile up 19 points and threaten to score
a great many more.
It was the Yale attack that got the
Jump. After some eight minutes OF
play Bob Lassiter shot long forward
down lne line, and Dud Parker, run
ming at top speed, pulled the wet bal
out of Harvard upstretched hands fol
one of the big plays of the day. iris
Speaker never made a finer catch
This remarkable exhibition of passing
and receiving with a wet ball drove
Harvard back to her own 18-yard line
as the Yale contingent forgot all about
the Furnishing storm. Plunges by big
Crowley kept driving Harvard back
and then Levering slipped through fol
the first touchdown.

Harvard made her big stand Of the day

trouble by taking Parker's kick on the

charge. Harvard now had forgotten the
