NIKE BOOSTS AT HOME.

Breathes there man with soul so dead
That it didn't compel him to stand on his
head
And rave and yell and boiler and shout
When the Little Blue Boys knocked the big
Tigers out?
Yes, there breathes such a man, but
he went away from New Haven on a
train Saturday evening and he has
not breathed freely since, his breathing
being interspersed with signs, groans,
grunts and words that he didn't learn
in Sunday school. But what a sight
was there, my countrymen, when the
great deed was done. 1t was like the
sight which was seen many years ago
in Ephes-dammim, or some other Bib
lical place near there. AT that time
and in that place there went out
champion out of the camp of the Phil
istines named Goliath Of Gath, and he
was what would be called nowadays s'a
corker" He was six cubits and a span
high, and he had on brass helmet, a,
brass coat Of mail which weighed five
thousand shekels of brass, greaves of
brass on his legs and a target of brass
between his shoulders. And there was
more brass in his voice and bearing
than in all his defensive arnor of
brass. In addition to these advantages
he carried spear whose head weighed
six hundred shekels Of iron. He was
an impressive sight, and when he
made his def the Israelites who had
been watching him trembled. But lit
tie David didn't tremble, and it didn't
take him long to lay the brazen giant
low. People who hadn't forgotten their
Bible lessons were reminded of the
scene in Ephes-dammim when Prince
ton and Yale confronted each other on
the Field Saturday, and they were still
more reminded Of it when the Yale
eleven laid the Princeton giants low.
OF course we do not mean to intimate
that the Princeton giants had anything
like as much brass to the square inch
as the Philistine giant had, but they
did look as if they could and would
eat the Yale youth up. They didn't
count on the Yale spirit, though and
so they didn't count.
1t is tough fate to prance into the
arena a big live giant and go out of
the arena a big dead giant. But some
body must win and the more momen-
tous the contest the more magnitude
nous the defeat and the victory. There
can be no question about the size of
Saturdays performance. 1t had in it a.
corpulent amplitude of greatness. The
result was like the sun, simply out of
sight. And Nike roosts where she can
rest.
