October ..20.51 20.56 ...20.72 ,.20.88 ' .. 20.86 . .18.89 i faces Yale in the forty-second annual contest between these ancient gridi rbn rivals. Teams from the two uni versities first met in 1873 when Am erican football was in the making and each season since 1876 has been a renewal of the struggle. Tonight the series stan s twenty-two games to ten in Yale's favor with nine con tests a tie the total ,romt score: Yale 245; Princeton 179. Regardless' of the overwhelming margin of past victories piled up f'y the Blue, the Printe:on town and Town is just as enthusiastic and con fident in the ability of the Tiger to overthrow the Bulldog as though the series had always resulted in defeat for Yale. With a squad of veterans at his disposal Coach 'Speedy" Rush has built up a powerful eleven which has been specially groomed and point ed for this particular contest, the closing one of the Princeton season. The fiaihting spirit of the Blue is not, however, unestimatei by the Orange and Black for even the pres ent undergraduates remember that within their time Yale has wrested victory from the Tiger when the game seemed won. In some respects Princeton holds the advantage over Yale for the Rush coaching system is now firmly established in Nassua Land while the New Haven institu Hnr is still experimenting with the latest methods introduced Iby Ted Jones. Judged in the light of preceding games this season it is difficult to compare with accuracy the power of the two systems. Princeton this year has shown a disposition to play, a waiting gme; swooping down upon the opponent's goal line after a ibreak in the play had given the liger tne opening he sought Except against weak teams early in the season, Princeton has not displayed an incli nation to go out and force the score by steady attack. Fumbling at critical moments has also been noted but the defense of the team has foeen tetter than usual this Autumn. There have fceen cer tain flashes in the Tigers player that lead to the belief that the eleven has more at its commapd than it has re vealed to cate and its ardent adher ents are counting upon the team to -I-.-0 it ver with a surprising rev elation in the way of a scoring at tack. The Yale eleven did not move as smoothly early in the fall as the Orange and Blade but the. Blue has been gathering momentum rapidly in the past; few weeks and it a for midable foe at the' present moment. The Elis have demonstrated that they have both a strong offense and de fense and are capable of coping with either the ground or aerial system of advancing the tall. The play has been marked at timea by uncertainty and a lark of consistency but each game has shown' hnprovement The Prince ton combination appears to be a bet ter football machine but it is doubt- aln apparently by a torpedo and .vdithout warning, the shelling of the boats of survivors of the British steamer Rowanmoie, which had fled, and the sinking of the American iteamer Lanoa and Columbian for car rying contraband. Investigaticn is being made in all cases hut has not yet been completed. Teutonic diplomats here do not cred it the report that Germany has been warn:i' verbally that President Wil son's patience is " on the verge of exhaustion." One of tnese said to night: "I know positively that no such warning hss been given. There is no reason for any such warning. Ger many ha3 absolute no intenV'on of violating any of the pledges given the United Str.tef.." ful if it has-the potential strength of Yale an ' should the play enable the Blue to find itself in the game it will prove a h?rd team to defeat. The scoring power of Yale is ' et ter distr;ited than thst of Princeton, so far as touchdown making is con cerned, but in goal aTv field :sii kick ing the Tigers rHd the advantage. In forward ra?sir? Yale has shown a better offense and defense to dite and it would appear as thmgh the over hea ' attack will oe used more as a threat than a reality tomorrow. Such advantages as Yale may -possess, however, appear to have made little impression upon the Princeton sup porters, who with a faith in- the idea that this is the Tiger's year to -in. are covering every Yale wager and waiting the coming of the morrow with confidence. In eight and amount of material Yale appears to have a decided ad vantage over Princeton but this is nfaet, to same extent, by the fact that the Tiger eleven is a veteran combination in which some of the nlayers have- been wording together for two or' three years. The Yale line, as it has gone into the more im portant games of the season, average close to 200 pounds, while the Prince ton forwards range between 175 and 180 pounds in average. There is not the same marked difference in the tackifields the average fveing less than two poun 's apart but here again Yale is the heavier. 4 X - -JiS I Vfv, " 3 Mi "" '4 iff lis tml.'' 4. r . .: -Lvvv ar- COUNTESS AHP COUMT VXMtRNSTORFF ' Karl Armgaard Graves, who calls himself a former spy and who has been in the United States for several years, was arrested in Washington on the charge of trying to blackmail Countess von Bernstuff, wife of the German Ambassador, of $'1,000 for three letters from Germany he had intercepted.

We take this opportunity to call the public's attention to th'o progressive ind up-to-date methods of the Public Service Company in our city. Having just finished n successful effort to in-'.rodu-e electric lights in od houses that had not previously been wired for electricity in Greensboro, where nearly three hundred homes were equipped with electric lights, largely among the small home owner, who were able to take advantage or very certificate of eniolment When he liberal and easy terms offered by the sells 25 to 50 Seals, he gets a button .ompany. the Public Service Co., at he request of their h'al manager, have just sent their entire force of lighting experts to Salisbury who arm; here for similar work and to of fer the same liberal terms to those who have not heretofore had electric lights in their homes, payments be ing made over a period of several nonths. This "Easy Tayment Plan" f house wiring, together with the 'net that the Public Service Co. re nlly reduced their rates for electric lights, makes it possible for every 'inmr in Salisbury to have electric 'i;.rhts. Another move of the Public Service o's. of interest to all is a new gas rate just announced, making it possi ble for large consumers of fuel to utilize gas with economy in many in stances. This is of special interest at this time, when the whole country is facing a coal faminer and prices for conl have mounted skyward. To take care of expected increase in business, due to this reduced rate, the ompany has installed new gas man ufacturing machinery which has just been put in operation and is now pro ducing the highest grade of gas. This reduction in gas rates is volun- nrv on the part of the Company, be icving it will be able to increase its business by so doing. These reduc tions in rates, together with similar reductions made when the Gas, Elec tric and Street Railway properties passed into the hands of the present owners, are marks of progress in a direction that should make friends for the Company and result in good to the public and the company alike, Thousands are, Pouring Into Princeton to witness Great .

These will become part - of State Legions an d later of the Na tional Legion. "The object of these organizations," says Charles M. DcForest, National Red Cress Seal Sales Manager, "is not to pecure money for the Anti Tuberculosis movement, but rather to give the children definite tasks where by they can help the Health Cam paign. Every bov and girl must promise to try his best to keep the following rules: "1. Always breathe fresh air. Never study, work nor play in a room without a window open. Take ten deep breaths every day. "2. Eat nourishing food and chew it thoroughly. Drink plenty of pure water and use your own cup. Avoid food that is hard to digest, like heavy pie and rakt and much candy Never eat or drink anything that weakens the body, like alcoholic drinks 3. Make sure that everthing you put in your mouth is clean. Wash your hands always before eating and bathe; your whole bcly often. Clean yourj teeth every day. Have a regular time every day for attending to each need of your body. "4. Exercise every day in the open air. Keep your ahoulders straight. Do not smoke before you are grown up. ; 6. Get a long rights sleep. Get up smiling. Keep your mind clean and cheerful. "We hope to give the local leagues other work to do during the year, as for example, clean-up campaigns, dis tributing literature, swatting flies, etc. As these leauge will all be a part of regular anti-tuberculosis associations, we shall not be multiplying organisa tions needlessly, but rather we shall le crystaliiing an already well defined public health enthusiasm in a way that promises real results." .
