An eleven might face Harvard with a strong, powerful defence. But un- less this defence was also exceeding- 1y alert and quick to diagnose a play, it would be of little value. For Haughton puts through few di- reM, non-deceptive pla There is, in most cases, a threat one way and h the other.

One effect of this deceptive quality upon attack is to make the other eleven look far worse than it really is. Harvard in 1915 was nothing like 36 to 0 above Yale. Harvard last year was not 41 to 0 beyond the Blue. Harvard this fall was not 23 to 0 above Cornell—man for man or team for team. But the answer is that Yale and Cornell, last fall and this season, became so badly bewildered that their defence flew wide apart, leaving thin stratas of air for the Crimson backs to buck. A team can fight doggedly enough against a powerful attack that is driv- ing in straight and hard. But an at- tack that bewilders more than it over- ! whelms is sure to do far greater damage. | Revised Again.

New political zones were established. New York, the Eastern states, and the Middle West, once the block in presidential elections, were of the Middle West with the Solid casting their lot South. A new map was produced, either by trends of a strong under-surface opinion or the popularity of President Wilson. The shift in sentiment and in the political geography was probably not expected by any of the political manager: judged by their attitude in the ear hours of Jast Wednesday morning. With the drawing of a new map he n new statesmen, representative of a new national policies. The South, the West, the Pacific Coast state: , and Ohio constitute the new row Wilson and the new elements in pol Whether this map and the personalities also created by the shift of opinion will last, remains to be seen. It is a question to be decided, probably, by the congressional battlo two years hence, or two years later on by the presidential election. In the meantime there is no overlook- ing the fact that the Far West hs thrown its lot in with the Solid South and no longer seems to be dependent on the East- ‘Women Important Factor. Some of the conditions which oper- ated to change the political map and the character of the national repre- sentation are apparent. The influence of women in the eclection, especially in California, was brought out ingly and their activity in such s as Idaho, Kansas, Washington Montana ,may have heen sponsible for the defeat of the re- publican candidate for president. The sociallst party gained more than 500,- 000 votes, increased its representation legislatures and to congress. ates membher tionis The prohibi- < now hav of the 4% states either under dry laws or committed to them The prohibition wave 8 now strong as to make it reasonably certain that a prohibitional amendment will be passed session of congr which on Dec. 4. The pending resolution to submit to the states a federal equal suffrage amendment may also be successful, although some political observers here are asserting that the dominating votes of women in California, Wash- ington, and other staees may set the suffrage movement back twenty-five years. These are movements gained slowly in strength, at last served notice on the old party managers that they cannot be ig- nored in the future. Another and newer aspect of politics is the in- creasing sentiment in the South for a protective tariff. This movement, while not expressed in such a de- cided way, is gaining in strength.
