Har vard's football team, coming out of the cast to defend their athletic su premacy against Oregon of tho west, held their laurels today by a narrow margin, winning the tame featured by the tournament of roses here, with a score of 7 to 6. Tho Harvard points vera rained on a touchdown by Church nnd a olefin coal from touch-1 down by A.Orween, while Oregon's points came from goals from the field by Steers and Manerud. The versatile attack of the east erners, based on smashing straight football tactics but with forward pas Ms, tricks and punts, as features, was met by stalwart defense from Ore gon. The fighting qualities of the western defenders were exmplifled to the last minute of play when Har vard, separated by inches from a second touchdown, was hold for downs. Harvard's points were scored on a touchdown by Church and a goal kicked by A. Horween. Steer's of the Oregon team, kicked one goal from the field and Manerud wno re placed him later, again sent the ball between the goal posts for a field goal. All tho scoring was in the sec ond period. Steers punted and bucked the line In a manner that made him favorite of the Oregon supporters and when he was forced out by an injury nnci Manerud went In, tho latter ran like a demon, punted In style remarkable considering his small size and weignt and bucked the line so strongly that he smashed through time after time. For Harvard, the Horweens were the bright stars, while Eddlo Casey, their teammate back of the line, worked hard and successfully. There was no development of any partlc- , ular- atyle of play, both teams using the forward pass, punts, line forma tions, a few trick plays and all other usual tactics. , Superior Team Work ' Harvard's victory was probably due as much as to superior team work based on experience gained on east ern fields, as to any single factor. -. Their superior weight seemed to have, little to do with it. Judging from the way their opponents held their line smashes. Speed was equally divided, I the backs of , the opposing teams seeming to get over the ground with equal faculty. In Interference and blocking the easterners had a shade the better of It, according to press experts, but the teams were so even ly matched that there was little choice. , The greatest crowd ever assembled at Tournament park was gathered for the event. The park seated more than 30,000 people, and general admissions for standing room ran up the at tadance to approximately 35,000, ac cording to officials. The day was per fect, a Blight haze overcasting the sun, not sufficiently to obscure the view of the field from any seat, but enough to prevent heat exhaustion troubling the players. ThA TJnn-illl ..

SOVIET RUSSIA AND ESTHONIA END WAR Preliminary Armistice to Exist One Week Is Signed at Dorpat Calls for Immediate Cessation of Hostilities-Armies-Will Not Be Withdrawn. DORPAT, Esthonia, Wednesday, Dec. 31. (By tho Associated Press.) The -first step toward peace between Esthonia and soviet Russia was taken tonight by the signing of a prelim inary armistice, which is to exist for one week, stipulating an Immediate cessation of hostilities ana covering questions concerning Esthonla-n inde pendence and military guarantees with regard to the frontiers. The (agreement, which may be ter minated on 24 hours' notice by either side. Is to become effective January 3. Unless action is taken to terminate It, the agreement automatically re news Itself after seven days. The agreement consists of five docu ments and includes a map denning the frontiers. An interesting clause ab solves Esthonia from all obligations to' Russia resulting from, former con nections with that country. . The signing of the agreement had been set for 1 o'clock in the aft ernoon, but It was not until nearly t o'clock in the evening that the con ferees succeeded In adjusting all de tails. The text of the clause recognizing Esthonia, says: "ia srisnn wttk tt yrtsjelgt oft proclaimed by the soviet Russian government of the right of all peo ples to free determination of their na tionality, even to the complete cessa tion from the state to which they be long, Russia recognizes without res ervation tho independence of tha Es thontan state and freely abdicates for all time all the sovereign rights wnicn oeiongea to nussia. with re spect to Kstnonlas land and people in accordance with former stats or ders, as well as those rights given under international treaties. Esthon- tan land and people shall have no ob ligations whatever with respect to Russia., because of the former Con nections of Esthonia with .Russia." , The agreement stipulates that dur ing the cessation of hostilities, the respective armies shall remain on the territory held by each and -that the land between them shall be considered a neutral zone. The-frontier Is fixed at 10 kilo meters eastward of Lake Pelpus, crossing Lake Pelpus and Lake Pskov, and running thence southward to the east of Iaborsk. The present Esthon- lan military line is left approximately effort to bring about these things after the election. If they cannot do It in ono way they will do it In another. If they cannot succeed by open agreement they will endeavor to succeed by secret or tacit agreements We, many of us, feel, therefore, that we would like to know wnat your views are upon this problem and what It will be your purpose to do snouid ,you be honored by an election as president." Operations In Russia Senator Borah said American op erations in Russia were in violation of the constitution and against the wish es of the American people, but in furtherance of a secret agreement in Versailles. "This Is but an Imitation" Senator Borah continued, "of what Is to hap pen should we conclude to abandon our traditional foreign policy and enter into understandings and com binations which would embroil us all in European conflicts and turmoils. Our young men would be asked to sacrifice their lives In Just such se cret and unconscionable affairs as this in Russia, and Mr. Tart, as 1 understand from his public statement.

MAXASSAR". Vs.; Jan., 1. Tlo case of AV. C, Hall, prohibition Inspector on trial here charged with the murder of Lawrence 1). Hudson, an alleged bootlegger, last March, was given to the jury tonight. The Jury retired at 5:50 o'clock to deliberate on its ver dict and 26 minutes later was locked up for the night- Judge F. 8; Taveuner. chief counsel for the prosecution rested the case by calling for conviction of Hall for murder In the ' aecond degree. In his final address to the Jury, Judge Tavenner charged that Hall with his deputies, Harry P. ' Street, W, C. Dun leavy and J. H. Sullivan, had killed Hudson who had offered no. resistance In order not to leave any living wit ness to the killing of Hudson's com panion, Raymond Shackleford. Attorney L. O.

In Dawes may political fu politicians yes port that thoy aio considering putting Mr. Dawes forward as a candidate If Genera Pershing does not develop enough strength to win. If Air. Dawes could put General Pershing oyer, then he would of courso bo content to rest for awhile on tho honor of having sue ceftsfully managed the campnlgn of a winner, and takes his chances op his own proferment In the future. Rut Just what General Pershlng'i political leanings are la the question that Is worrying the politicians of both parties. Many months ago. republic-an convention somewhere out in Ohio Jumped Into the limelight by pronouncing Pershing for the presidential nomination. It was just a Jumping at conclusions, the conclu sion being that Pershing was a re publican and that being the Amerl can hero of the world war, ha would of course have to be rncltoned.. with for presidential honors, and 'this con vention, a . count? meeting, merely sougnt tne opportunity and distinc tion of being . the first to boom the general. From that day to this, Per shing has been constantly mentioned for the presidency, and consideration of him has not been limited to either of the parties. By some, he has been declared to be a democrat, by others a republican, but tho general, prob ably is the only man who knows, for it lsn t on record that he has ever de clarcd himself to be either democrat or republican, has played the wise. quiet game and has kept discreetly silent. But there is now the danger that this game will be spoiled, for If his boomers increase their activities very much. It would appear tht the general would be forced ii,! the open, would be obliged to declare himself, would be almost forced ,to say whether ho plans to be a candi date and, if so, before which party. Conduct of War. . Should the republicans make Per Bhlng their presidential candidate, It would mean that the conduct of the war would not be an Issue In the cam paign, at leaxt not that part of it which Pershing is responsible for, for of course the republicans could not put themselves In the attitude of criti cizing the things that were done by the commander-in-chief of the ex peditionary force when that officer had been- made their standard bearer. They might, of course, attempt to adopt a straddle and make their de nunciation of the conduct-of the war relate only to the things which took place on this side of the Atlantic, and only praiso those things that were done on the other side. , But it hasn't been so very long since a republican member of congress made, a bitter speech on the floor of the house, de nouncing Pershing, while the run-in of the Royal Johnson sub-commlttoe of the house Which went to France to lnvnjdgate expenditures for the 1 army over there would not indicate that the republican members of the house were getting ready to enthu siastically take-up the general for their candidate. If they should, some of tnem would nave to do some back ing up, It Is a very Interesting and some what complicated situation that is de. veloptng, and not tho least of the complexities Is that General Pershing seems not to have been consulted at all, and that what has been done to boom him for the last and only great honor that he could wish has been done without his approval, and with out him even being so much as con suited. . But what la being done Is a source of some considerable Irritation to other presidential aspirants, who would like nothing better than to have tho general come out and renounce any political ambitions and say that he would be content to retire to pri the end of his army EXPRESS REGRET r L OF U.
