PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 1. 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.

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

It, the agreement automatically re

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:

The agreement stipulates that dur

Senator Borah said American op

Borah continued, "of what Is to hap

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

LONDON. Jan. 1. -Under the terms
of the peace treaty, Germany Is com
pelled to reduce her regular forces
to 100.000 by March Jl. and the num
ber of gendarmes must not exceed
those functioning as military police
in 1913. The reduction of the reg
ular armv in compliance with the
treatv obligations is proceeding, al
though at a slower rate than origi
nally was contemplated, owing "to tns
delay in ratification of the peace
treaty, the unsettled state of Ger
many and the desire or tne uerman
government not to increase the num
ber of persons unemployed.
