In due course of time Ihe buggy leached a small creek and Yost, in stead of drlvhiK n half mile for a bridge. drove moose the little stream. It was a time-saving process. The horses were going at a great slip. The buggy wheels Htruek a rock and the buggy nearly upset. Yost's friend was thrown out of the bugggy and into the creek. Yost, who had been busily engaged in talking and drlvipß at the same time, noticed the absence of his friend until he reached the other side of thk creek.

A glanrp at the football records of all the big colleges since the game was imVodiued snows what a won derful record has been made by Yale. Other college elevens have at times performed some startling stunts, but no elevens, over a long stretch of years have been as consistent winners as the elevens that have fought under the blue standard of Yale. Football first was played at Ya'e in 1872, and since that time up to today’s gime Yale mingled In 384 gridiron bat tles Yale won 841 of those 384 games was led in 19 others and only 24 time? over a stretch of 42 years have the Ya’e colors been lowered in defeat. Vale has averaged defeat on on aver age of about once in two years. Yale in 381 gwmes has lost but 24- -an aver age of 15 victories to every defeat. Oer tainly Yale's footbalT record is a glori ous one. Yale Champions. r'ince the game of football has been played Yale lias won the undisputed championship twelve thn a and on twelve other occasions it went through the season unbeaten but because one or two tther teams were unbeaten during those years bale’s calm to the champ ionship was disputed. Neither Harvard or Princeton, the powerful rivals of Yale have records that ‘•an compare with Yale's when all things .ve taken into consideration. Trinceton begun playing football in 18G!j and Harv ard took up the game in 1574. Prince tens record for 48 years including the complete record for 1914 shows 359 games played, and of these 3)G were vic tories, 39 ended in defeats and 11 were tied. Harvard since 1874 and up lo today's battle with Yale Ins played 360 games. Of these 302 were victories, 47 defeats and eleven were tied. Consider Facts. But these facts must be taken into consideration. Yale bus played against both Harvard and Princeton almost each year since she started footballing while Princeton and Harvard broke off athletic relations for a stretch of neaVly 20 years. That meant that during those 20 years Yale played its two strongest foes each year, while Harvard and Princeton play ed only against Yale. Had Harvard and Princeton fought against each other during ; II the years that they have been footballing, it is certain that the record of each would have shown more defeats. Rutgers, the little New Jersey college. j began playing football in 1869—the same ' ear as Princeton and those two col i leges are the pioneers in the football | world. Michigan was the first college in the west to adopt football, taking up the game, in IS7S.

Nebraska, it was pointed otu nas scored 15$ points in games this season, while their opponents have ma.de only twenty-one. Illinois, which has gone th?*ough the season without a defeat, was confident of winning the “big nine” honors in the game with Wisconsin. Northwestern will close the most dis astrous season in years by meeting Ohio State at Columbus. Northwestern has not won a conference game, its only vic tory of the season being over Lake For est. Indiana and Purdue will clash with La Fayette in a contest that promises to .he bitterly fought because of the rivalry between the two universities.

SAY PUGILISTS NOT LACKING IN PATRIOTISM London.—Somebody's complaint about the lack of*patriotism among the pugil ists, has brought out a spirited letter from a boxing editor, who says that were he to give a list of all the pro fessional boxers who have joined the colors since the declaration of war he would have to fill several newspaper columns. He gives a few names of men who have exchanged the twenty, four foot ring for a less circumscribed arena They are worth recording: •'Dick Smith, our light-heavy-weight champion; Bandsman Rice, challenger for that title; Bandsman Blake, who may be said to have a really sound chance of annexing the middle-weight belt; Pat O’Keefe, the actual holder; Tom McCormick and Johnny Basham, hoth nf whom have been promised chances of contesting for the welter weight title: Petty Officer Curran, one nf our leading heavyweights. Seaman Hayes, the famous feather-weight, with a host of engagements; Symonds, of Plymouth, a practical certainty for fly weight honors.” e *»W Plaza Hotel BARBER SHOP Georgs Heintz, Prop.
