MADRID, March 1.-The entire
government of Premier Alexandra
Lerroux resigned suddenly today.
Reorganization of the ministry had
been considered last night by Premier
Lerroux after it was announced that
two ministers-Diego Martinez Bar

and Minister of the Treasury Gomez
Lara-planned to resign.
However, the resignation of the en-

CRIMSON OPPOSES
. SHORT DRILL RULE
Feels TWo-Week Foot Ball
Period Is Injustice to
Players, Coaches.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

N YEW YORK, October 19.-It will
N not be surprising if Harvard,
when the open season for in
tercollegiate politics is on next
Winter, moves to amend the Big Three
athletic agreement in at least one i'm
portant respect. Possibility exists that
it may urge the ditching of the entire
agreement.
Just at present, however, sentiment
at Harvard-if this writer has not
been grievouSly miSinformed-iS con-
centrated upon the rule which pro-
hibits more than two weeks prellm-
mary practice in September.
Harvard men, or at least some, II
not all, of those engaged in foot ball
instruction, have feeling that two
weeks is not sufficient time in which
to train and condition players for the
October foot ball games. Injustice, it
is felt, is done to the players as
well as to the coaches.
AS one Harvard man concerned with
foot ball at Cambridge points out to
the writer, the Big Three agreement
was formulated years ago by a COM
mittee of nine representatives of Yale,
Harvard and Princeton, to whom only
one-a Harvard delegate-had ever
played the gridiron game as varsity
man.

rules which in many other colleges
would be viewed as of only minor
importance.
To uphold a principle. Coach
Stagg probably weakened his team
by dismissing Bob Randall, who

broke training rules by smoking.

have punished Bob Wicker, the
boy who ran 10 yards to score
against California.

THEY said at Cambridge that
Bred Ill-FeeIing,

THEY said at Cambridge that 1t
bred suspicion-which it Ger
tainly did-and that in general
1t was conducive to ill-feeling.
One does not have to probe deeply
this season to discern adverse effects
of the rule restricting Yale, Harvard
and Princeton to a September Is
deadline in preliminary practice.
Specifically, Harvard feels that Yale
beat the gun in assembling her squad
at Gales Ferry two days before the
legal date. Yale explained that the
advanced time was employed in check
ing up, issuing uniforms and so forth.
But there is no question that the Ellis
thus got a running start when Sep
tember IS came. Princeton, for that
matter, always has assembled her
squad day ahead of the legal date
for purposes of organization.
But Harvard foot ball men, in view
of Sunday practice by the Ellis and the
like, feel there was some violation Of
the spirit of the rule, just as they feel
that when Garry Levan of Princeton
played host to three of his clubmates,
varsity men, at his home in Ohio last
August the spirit of the preliminary
practice rule also was violated. For,
as Harvard coach put it to this
writer, what will prevent six men
meeting next year, eight the next, and
so on?
So, if this spokesman represents the
sentiment of the Cambridge athletic
group, as seems to be the case. the
Cambridge feeling may be summed up
somewhat as follows. Why not let
institutions adjust their own athletic
conditions according to their own best
Interest. their needs. their problems?

TT IS not believed therefore that
this body had sufficient practical
knowledge of all that the game
entails in the matter of physical haz-
ards and in the niceties of technical
preparation, to have enabled it to for
mulate proper legislation in respect to
these two things.
With new administrati ton in the
saddle at Harvard, a new president,
new Athletic Committee and so forth
with similar conditions at Princeton
and also, save for new president, at
Yale-it is hoped that movement for
revision OF the articles of agreement
will receive sympathetic support.
In broad sense it does not appear
that Harvard is whole-heartedly COM
mitted to agreements of any sort.
There seems to be a feeling that mat
ters relating to the conduct of sports
had better be left to the good judg-
ment and honest intent of individual
institutions
1t will be recalled that after a years

Shanghai Starts Work
On Medical Center

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, China-Work has
started here on the construction of
a great medical center on land
donated by John D. Rockefeller.
The new Shanghai medical center
will include hospital and medical
college and will be patterned after
similar institutions in New York and
London
The 21-acre site, situated in the
French concession, was purchased
nearly 20 years ago by the Rookie
feller Foundation, at a cost of S440,-
600. Property values have gone up
sharply, since then, and today the
land is said to be worth $1500,O00.
AT the time of the purchase, the
Rockefeller Foundation proposed to
build medical centers at both Peiping
and Shanghai. The Peiping plant,
called the Peiping Union Medical
College, was constructed at a cost Of
about S9,o0O.o0o. all Rockefeller
money. 1t is the finest institution of
its kind IN China.
Meanwhile the Shanghai site lay
idle.
But the medical center idea has
never been abandoned The Rookie
fellers held on to the land, and when
public spirited Shanghai citizens
showed desire to put the project
through, the property was offered as a
site.

Droughts Cause Rise
In Argentine Exports

BUENOS AIRES P.-Drought in
cereal regions of other nations is
credited with the AZ per cent increase
shown by Argentine exports in August
in comparison with the same month
of 1888.
The value increased by $4,000, 900
pesos (about $12, ,9o0,0 ,00O).
AS result, Argentina, which moved
toward recovery with the beginning
of 1884 after hitting the trough of
depression in 1888, improved its trade
balance, which, although on the favor
able side, has been smaller than
normal.
In comparison with 1888, Argentine
exports for the first eight months of
1884 totaled es0, ,805, 900 pesos ($29o,-
OO0, ,000), an increase Of a. per cent
over the first eight months of 1893.
Tonnage likewise has risen, but only
by 60 per cent.

"At first thought the conception of

pear to be somewhat daring" the sur

entire practicability.

As miles long, is 72.2 feet wide, is

passage of 1,200-ton nodded barges.
1.-THE tunnel included in these plans

Since then a dozen Congresses and

the idea-and today it has reached
the stage Of a complete and serious
engineering survey which demon
strates its practicability even If it
might not be, in the long run, COM

figures and plans as to canalization,

The last, of course, comes first, and
it is truly an astounding figure, for
that waterway, If. as and when built,
will cost somewhere around $242,-

to some extent the expenditure of this
sum. They estimate that the water
way will carry an average of l2,894,774
