X men to go into the woods and
bring out by OK sled many small
spruce trees. These are ranged
around the foundations of houses
to keep them snug and warm for
the winter.
In a gray, weather-beaten cottage
close to the shore lived a family
whose hard luck was the talk of
the village. The father was a fish,
erman, but now that the winter had

fair catch. but the prices were low.

We can confidently count on at
least one smile every Wednesday.
THAT is when the Sunday papers
reach Biscayne Key, because,
every Sunday the Miami Herald
!printes a page of prominent and
would-be prominent DANES and the
page is headed in box-car letters,
"SP0RTS-CLASSJFIED." You
don't often find a Society Editor
with a nerve like that.
A drowsy editor seems to be
running the Saturday Evening
Post. In the same issue in which
Bernard Baruch does his best to
prove that President Roosevelt's
plans won't work. another writer
IN an article alarm Clocks in the

working. As a rule, the venerable
Post is consistent in its tory pro-
|paganda, but maybe it seems wise
to begin to copper bets on Roose-
velt's opposition. Like him of old

"Give me neither poverty nor
riches" implored a writer in the

President Roosevelt seems to have
ia vision of that prayer being an
swered. In Chestertown, Mary
land, the President said, "The wi
der distribution Of wealth there
is in the proper way, the more we
can make it possible for men and
women to have the necessities of
life in such shape that they will
not have to lie awake at night
worrying about where the food
for tomorrow will come from,
Then, and then only, will we have
the security necessary for the
country"
As citizens of this country,
make it your business to watch
with an intelligent and vigilani
eye, the opposition to President
Roosevelt's policies which is gath
ering force and taking shape. Nor

The Tiger Of 1888.

Dear Sir:
To-day the attention of foot ball fans
is centered on one OF the biggest OF
the annual classics, the Yale-PrlnceCorl
game. The interest aroused py tnis
struggle is perhaps greater than 1t
has been for several years. For Prince
ton it Is the climax Of an undefeated
season. and for Yale it will be an op-
portunity to vindicate its defeat Of last
week. and for both it will be another
chapter in an important volume OF
gridiron history.
With the notable exception of the
Roman holiday at New Haven two years
ago. Princeton games have been
traditionally close, the under dog In
variably playing better foot ball than
it seemed capable Of earlier in the sea-
son. And then, too. the record Is not
so overwhelmingly in favor of Prince
ton eS one might at first think. None
of the teams that the Tiger has downed
has tied or defeated Yale.
"One more factor should be included
TO demonstrate that Princeton has no
reason to expect a walkover. The Bull
dog has always been jinx for the
Tiger Some of the best of Princeton
teams have suffered ignominious defeat
at the hands of Yale. The records
show that Yale is the only team which
Princeton has met in more than four
encounters that has registered more
victories than has the Tiger. end it has
achieved this record by a safe margin

n YEW YORK, December O.
M The nineteenth renewal OF
l one of foot balls classic
rivalries, Army VS.. Notre
Dame, brought the Metropolitan
districts season to a smashing
close today.
Despite the fact that Army's
undefeated and united Cadets
ruled 9-to-5 favorites over a
Rambler outfit already beaten five
times, prospects were for a ca
pacity crowd of $4,000 in the
Yankee Stadium.
There was nothing whatever in the
records to indicate Notre Dame had
much chance of stopping the charge
of the West Pointers in general or Paul
(Beany) johnson and Jack Buckler in
particular.

five other foes of lesser ranking have

tween for Notre Dame. The ground

Dame eleven has been equaled only
by It's WOeful inability 10 score. The
Irish gained yards by the bushel in
their first eight games, but scored a
total Of only 10 points.
They defeated Indiana, 1872, and
Northwestern, TO. but have been
blanked in every other engagement,
playing q SCOreleSS draw with Kansas

with the single exception Of Fullback

Notre Dame entered the game with
a wide edge in the series which began
in 1913. Irish had won 13. lost and

rivalry.
The forecast was for cloudy. but
moderate weather. The kickoff was
