The 1915 Football Horizon Seems
to Be Fading in Crimson, the Blue
and Black and Yellow Rising
Harvard Furnished Every Picking By Yale and Princeton in a
Football Way For the Past Three Years---Graduation
Next June Threatens to Wreck the Crimson Machine That
Swept Through to Such Great Victories Last Year and This
Year.
New York. Looking off Into Iff.
It seems to us that he Crimson tint
along the football horizon is fading
and that he Blue of Vale and the
Black and Yellow of Princeton are in
the ascendancy.
Yale and Princeton have furnished
easy picking for Harvard in a foot
ball way during the past two or three
years. But graduations next June
threaten to wreck the Crimson ma
chine that swept through to such great
victories last year ai d this year. Of
the 1914 reguiars only three will he
left Mahan, Pa~aon and Wallace.
On the other hand. Princeton will
lost only three of its regulars. Includ
ing Captain Ballin, its great tackle,
while Yale will lose only two or three
valuable men and will have left the
nucleus for a gt at eleven
Of course, Haughton, the Harvard
coach, may fin some stars of the
first magnitude i mong the candidal s
who will presort themselves for Jobs
In 1916. Probably some may rise to
surh heights that stars of 1913 and
1914 will not be missed. But the out
look for Yale and Princeton for 1916
is much rosier than that of Harvard.
Most of those who played regularly
for Yale and Princeton this season
will return next year and the experi
ence they had this year will he of
great value to t' ■ team’s chance next
year. On the other hand. Harvard
must build a new team around three
regulars, which even for a man of
Haughton's wizardy, is something of
a Job.

GERMAN SURGERY
EXPERIENCE IN
EOROPEANH
Acting Surgeon - General of
Saxon Army Delivered Ad
dress Telling of Various Ways
of Saving Wounded.
Berlin.—The German surßcune have
begun to talk about their experience
In healing the wounded in this war.
Prof, pnyr ot Lelpalc University, who
is noting as surgeon general to the
Saxon army, recently delivered an ad
dress at one of the Improvised hog
pltala on the line of thi German com
munications, in which he gave much
interesting information on this sub
ject.
Payr pointed out that the halls used
in shrapnel shells produced much more
dangerous wounds than rille Indicts.
They carry Into the body fragments
of clothing, a corresponding quantity
of dangerous germs; and they are
much more likely to be lodged in the
body. There was suppuration In 70 to
75 pr cent of cases. The same dan
ger is still more serious with wounds
from frsgments of shells It was
found, too, that this war has been es
pecially marked by the great number
of such wounds Not only do shell
fragments carry germs Into the body
with hits of clothing, but the danger
ous gasses from the shrapnel explo
sion often adhere to the fragments
and halls in sufficient quantities to
poison the wound Lock-Jaw Is often
produced by wounds of this charac
ter; but by vaccinating patients with
tetanus serum the German surgeons
have materially reduced the ratio of
deaths In such cases since the first
weeks of th< war.
Most Dangerous.
Especially dangerous are the Wounds
caused by fragments of bombs thrown
by aviators. Even very small frag
ments often produce much more dsn
Kerens wounds than much larger
pieces of ordinary shells. These small
fragments penetrate very deep into
the body, rutting through all blood
vessels; and thick masses of muscle
are cut through as with a sharp knife.
Aeroplane bombs also frequently cause
bad burns.
f»o far as simple flesh wounds from
small calibre rifles are concerned,
Payr found that these heal very rap
idly. In most cases the wounded were
able to return to the ranks within a
week or two. Even In cases of chest
wounds, where the ribs are not touch
ed. healing Is usually very rapid, even
though th<- lungs he penetr: ted.
A new kind of wound has been caus
ed by the sharp steel arrows thrown
at great heights by French aeroplan
lsts. These arrows have about the
thickness of an ordinary lead pencil,
and when thrown from a height of
about 5.000 feet strike their victim at
the velocity of a bullet just leaving
the murxle of a rifle, payr says they
produce very dangerous wounds.
Small Bullat.
Dr Payr declares that the small
bullet badly shatters the hollow hones
of arm and leg when striking them
si short distances hut that at greater
distances they tend more to here a
smooth hole, with little or tic* fractur
ing. Bones near the Joints are shot
through smoothly, and the wounds
heal with no difficult' Another ef
fect of the present type of bullet Is to
cut through the blood vessels, where
as they would often he pushed aside
by older lead bullet and escape dis
ruption. This Is regarded by Payr as
one dangerous result of the small cali
bre bullet, especially where veins and
arteries are cut through deep (n the
fish.
Wounds In the abdomen, says Pair,
are most likely to heal without an op
eration than with one. and this, he
says, was first proved in the Roer
war The difficulty In the way of an
operation ts that It is almost Impossi
ble U> take the necessary antiseptic
precautions.

Three Regulars.
Princeton loses by graduation only
Ballin, Shenk and Kddie Trenkmann,
of (he regulars. It loses u number
of good substitutes, but from out of
this year’s freshman squad some great
players will be available for varsity
jobs next year. Princeton will retain
Moore and Diekerman, the two substi
tute halfbacks who performed so well
for the Tigers against Vale. I H iggs,
the putting fullback, will he back. So
will Tihhntt, the other halfback. Ames
and Kherstadt, quarterbacks, will bo
candidates for the pivot (oil again
Yale retains Leflore, who was about
two-thirds of the Yale team this year.
With the experience that he gained
this year LcGore ought to show up in
even more wonderful fashion 111 1916.
Wilson, the varsity quarterback, will
be on the job again.
Scovll, one of the greatest plung
ing halfbacks ever seen in the Hast,
who was forced to net as first sub
stitute this year, will get a. chance
to become a regular next year. And
Scovll promises to make himself fa
mous. Guernsey, a fine kicker and a
fine end Hiller, also will he back and
will he a candidate for a backfleld
job.
Brann, Talbott, Conroy, White and
Stlllmann of the Yale line will be
missing in 1915. But after what hap
pened lo those fellows In the Harvard
game It probably will be just as well
for Yale's 1916 chances that tlielr
places will be taken by some one else.

PRINCE WORKED
WITH STOKERS
Escaped From English Prison
and Worked His Way to Ger
many Shoveling Coa|.
Copenhagen.—When the Danish ship
Kei-om steamed to the quay at Oopen-j
hagen three of her stokers were paid i
off. They received their money Ini
tluir black palms and, looking at each 1
other, smiled knowingly.
"' nine and ha\e a drink," cried the
rest of the stoking squad, who lined I
th« bulwarks. "You’re not going otf
With your wages like that, surely?”
lon of the three immediately took
up the invitation, hut the third, whoso
hands were raw with the work of the I
voyage from England, refused. He i
was l imited because of his meanness, i
but In reply he told the crowd of stok
ers that lie would be back in an hour's
time and would like to see them then. |
They said they would wait for him,'
'•ut they never expected he would re- 1
turn.
Going to Germany,
In an hour, however, he did return, !
dressed In a fine suit and with well 1
manicured fingers. He vaulted over
the bulwarks. The nthes thought he:
was a Joker till he began to speak.
"I have decided to present my wages
to you all," he said, "for 1 don’t need
them now. ou can go and drink to j
the health of tierniany In the war. Ati
the same Mme 1 want to thank you!
boys tor the good time I have had with |
JOU. I’ll never forget It "
"What ts the truth about you?"
risked one. 1 knew you were not a
stoker You're a swell, eh'.”’
I don’t know.' was the reply, "but
I don’t mind confess ng now that I
never handled a shovel before | want - >

and mv stoker's wages. Now, since li
have got a change of clothes at the
emhassv, I will be able to get home i
soon, and then T will soon he at the:
front fighting the English."
With that he went oft, leaving the
stokers dumb wdth surprise. When i
they recovered they locked at the card
he left. It bore the name of one of i
1 the princely houses of Germany. J
