to his clossaintes, tho play

Princeton football star, who recent
ly was killed during a charge In

regiment of which ho was a mem

up strategy.
Poo was a deadly tackier, and sur
er than taxes when It camo to catch
ing n kicked or a passed ball.
Former college mates of Poo recall
that they often would find htm in his
room throwing tho ball Into a pllo
of pillows and Bota cushions In or
der to perfect his accuracy in pass
ing. Ho practiced catching by
throwing the ball high against tho
sldo of a building and taking It on
tho rebound.
Poo was a deep student of tlio
game and ho had learned to appro
elate tho part that a fumbled ball or
a missed tacklo has played In tho
history of football and ho never
ceased his drill in these clementnls
at any time during tho season. This
fact so impressed Itself on Poo thnt
ho made up his mind, nB far as ho
was concerned, that If his team must

CHUISTIANIA, Norway, Dec. 9.
A bill restricting and regulating tho
salo of liquor has been prepared by
a government committee, and as It
has the support of two-thirds of tho
members of tho nowly-olcctcd Nor
wegian parliament, It will soon bo
enacted Into law.
Total prohibition has been reject
ed by tho committee as Impossible
to enforce, nnd detrimental to real
temperance. Rut it Is felt that tho
sale of strong liquors should bo
strictly controlled. Ucor containing
less than thrco per cent of alcohol
Is regarded not only as n harmless
but a beneficial drink. Light wines
will nlso bo favored. Tho strong
drinks will bo dealt with according
to their rolatlon with tho- grosser
forniB of drinking.
Tho teetotalers, however, aro not
satisfied with tho bill as drawn, and
aro trying to bring pressuro on par
liament for stato-wldo prohibition,
Many membors ot parliament, to
win tho votes of tho teetotalers,
pledged themselves to oxtromo mcas
tires whllo personally favoring tho
moderate. These mon may bo forc
