Throwing the helm over sharply,
Jones attempted another surprise
maneuver, intending to smash the
Richard squarely across the bow of
the Scraps, so that the starboard
guns of the Richard could rake the
helpless enemy from bow to stern.
In such position the Scraps would
be unable to direct her fire on the
attacker, Jones reasoned.
But the crippled Richard did not

STANFORD LOOKS

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Another
California invasion descends upon
New York. Actually, its beginning

Last week it was st. Mary's;
now it's the robust and vigorous
Stanford University eleven, and
looking for better luck against

which thwarted the Gaels at the
Polo Grounds.
They figure to enjoy it, too.
Luck is one thing this Columbia
team is without, and badly riddled
by Dartmouth's conquest last Sat
urday the Lions can't be expected
to do more than go through the
motions of finishing out the
season.
It's the third and last game of
a rivalry that once attained Rose
Bowl stature. Remember back
there to New Years Day in 1884,
when Al BarabaS made the KF 70
play famous as he sneaked away
to the touchdown that won for
the Lions, 7 too.
Last year the Lions won again
when George Furey grasped the
opening kickoff to gallop eighty
yards through the Snou IN the
only score Of the battle. But now
it looks like Stanford'S turn, even
II the Indians were beaten by Cali
fornla last week. A Columbia tri.
unph would be in the nature Of q

that more birds are breeding to-

So, Mr.. Hunter, remember that

PROHIBITED BIRDS
This year Federal laws prohibit
the shooting of the following
ducks: wood, ruddy, canvasback,

goose.
The duck season continues only
