Kiddie With a Mighty Punch.
When he was startled from sleep and found a big burglar beating his
mother, Isidore Weinstein, six years old, of Cleveland, Ohio, drew
back a bare foot and drove it hard into the robber’s face. The robber
apparently believing that he had been struck by a man’s fist, took to
his heels.
Mrs. Edith Weinstein and her son live alone in rooms adjoining her
candy store. She was awakened long after midnight by a man’s hands at
her throat. The burglar had entered by forcing a bedroom window. Mrs.
Weinstein screamed. Then the burglar beat her with his fist until she
was nearly unconscious.
Isidore’s bare foot saved the day. Mrs. Weinstein is sure the burglar
mistook Isidore’s kick for the blow of a man’s fist. If he had known
her protector was only a six-year-old boy, there would have been a
different story, she is confident.
A Triple Sport Alliance.
A triple understanding in all branches of sport by Yale, Harvard, and
Princeton is at hand. The signing of a formal agreement by the three
for a series of nine games to settle the triple baseball championship
and the continued conferences of the captains of the three elevens of
the universities are surface indications of the movement that has been
quietly in progress for several years, furthered by Yale, for at least
a general understanding between the three in all branches of the sport.
In track athletics and rowing the triple entente is not in operation.
Yale meets both her rivals on the track and would be glad for them
to meet each other, but Harvard and Princeton have no arrangement
for such contests. Princeton has not yet come into the Yale-Harvard
annual rowing regatta on the Thames, but may do so at any time. Yale
meets Princeton and Harvard both on the water annually, but there is
no movement on the part of Princeton to arrange a dual-crew race with
Harvard. Officials of the Princeton navy and athletic association have
assured Yale rowing men that the Tigers were likely before long to come
into the Yale-Harvard annual races at New London.
When the results of the series of informal football conferences between
Yale, Harvard, and Princeton are announced, it is expected that
progress toward a much more complete understanding of gridiron matters
of mutual interest will be shown. The informal talks of Captains
Wilson, of Yale; Mahan, of Harvard, and Glick, of Princeton, will be
projected into the business of the general athletic committees of the
three universities during the remainder of the school year.
