Surrender. Exhausted by his long losing fight, Generalissimo Reed Smoot wearily hoisted the truce flag and in a thin voice announced his terms of surrender. Admitting that he and his Old Guardsmen were beaten, he said: "The Senate should take a recess. . . . Let the coalition agree upon amendments. . . . Let the vote be taken in the Senate upon the amendments without a word of discussion and let us pass a bill."

Marsters had what have properly been called five of football's greatest minutes and the "alert atom" of the New Haven outfit put on such an exhibition of clever running as has rarely been seen. The little Eli star is the niftiest player you ever hope to see on a football field. When tackled he lands as lightly as a feather, and quite as often as not he would skip over the sidelines just in time to leave a big Indian defender foolishly...
