tance The best former time was Am.

This constant cutting OF records at
almost every middle distance race held
this season brings forward prominently
the question as 10 when this smashing
OF marks is going TO end. II this time
reducing speed be sustained for very
long. II looks as though some rider will
cover the 20 miles In 40 minutes flat.
IL is interesting TO note that on the
day OF Elkes' wonderful performance
Edouard Taylore gave another proof OF
his quality as a sprint rider I'm addi-
ton to his ability 10 stay at middle
distances. The young Frenchman made
the marvellous time OF I'm. 32 3-5s. for a
mile. creating a worlds record. Taylore
was paced by three quint teams. and
his thirds were caught respectively as
80 2-5 seconds. 81 1-5 seconds and 81 Sec
onds.
Not a particle OF wind was blowing at
the time, and the conditions were alb
solutely perfect for the effort. The best
previous record for the paced mile
against time was I'm. 35s., held by ].
Platt- Belts, the wonderful little Eng
lish sprint rider. III was made on the
Crystal palace track. near London.

the eastern universities. and only after
the new regulations had been adopted
were copies mailed TO them, with a re-
quest that they be used in the east. An
effort was made 10 have representatives
or the two committees meet in order, IL
possible, TO reach a joint conclusion.
Stagg, however. did not think IL neces-
sary and the result is that the rules
diner materially. so that IL will be prac-
ucaily impossible TO make any compari-
sons. Besides this difference will tend
10 separate the east from the west in
all that relates to football, and that is,
OF course, greatly to be regretted.
III is unfortunate that chickering's
among the leading eastern universities
forbid schedule OF games that will def
nitely determine the championship each
season. For some years the only way to
get at any sort OF an idea OF the relative
strength OF some OF the leading teams
Is by means of comparisons, which are
nearly always misleading 1t is not fair
to judge the standing OF two colleges by
games they have each played against a
third. frequently on widely separated
dates.
In the west many changes will take
place this fall In college team sched-
ules. The triple alliance of Chicago,
Michigan and Illinois within the "big
seven" has brought about a new condi-
tion OF affairs, and elevens will meet
on the gridiron that have never faced
each other before. The big seven" as
1t Is called. consists OF the following in
stitutions: Wisconsin. Michigan, Chica-
go. Illinois, Northwestern. Minnesota
and Purdue Illinois Is most benefited
by the change. for the Champlain team
gets two year contract with Michigan
and has home game with Minnesota
on Thanksgiving day. Chicago will have
the usual Thanksgiving day game with
Michigan at Chicago. This game will
be played outdoors this year. Chicago's
game with Pennsylvania, regarding
which there seems to be some question,
makes change in the blue and red
schedule necessary. Oct. 20 will proba-
bly, be the date decided upon.
Illinois plays the Carlisle Indians at
Chicago on Nov. 10 at field to be de-
cided upon later. Illinois and Michigan
are to meet for the first time. For a
long time Wisconsin has desired to play
the Ann Arbor men, but baseball trou-
bles made a game between them an i'm
possibility, and Illinois. which support-
ed the stand taken by Michigan and
Chicago. was at once given a date
which IL has been trying to obtain for
several years The game will be played
at Detroit Nov. IL, and Michigan has
signed contract to play at Champlain
the following year
Illinois and Minnesota meet on
Thanksgiving day for the first time at
Champlain with mutual satisfaction to
both institutions. Northwestern uni
versity Will again play the Badgers,
and Wisconsin may find II dvantageous
to make an eastern trip. Negotiations
for such tour have been made. She
has also invited one Of the big eastern
teams to make western trip next fall.
but II is hardly likely that any one OF |
the big four" will take chances against !
such strong western teams away from
home. LEO ETHERINGTON.

When the football season of 1897 came
to an end last December. an urgent re-
quest was made by those most inter-
ested in the game that committee be
appointed TO consider carefully the va
rious rules bearing on the sport. espe-
cially in regard 10 the question of mass
plays, against which a vigorous outcry
had been raised In some quarters dur
ing the season.
These men felt that something should
be done to offset a growing opposition
to what were called the brutal and un-
necessarily harsh features OF the other
wise healthful sport. In view of these
opinions the University Athletic club OF
New York stepped into the breach. This
club, as it's name indicates, Is composed
of graduates OF the leading universi-
ties and colleges of the United States,
especially OF eastern institutions of
learning, and naturally the members
take a great deal OF interest in the do
ings and plans Of their respective alma
matters. The club has In several in
stances. when intercollegiate football
matches have been played In New York.
taken charge OF all Of the arrangements.
So when this question and need arose
the University Athletic club gladly
stepped forward. believing that the only
way to assure the future success Of the
game was to revise the rules. with a
view to eliminating the mass play.
A committee was appointed made up
OF men who were authorities on the fin-
est points OF football. Their names are

STORIES OF
THE STAGE.

Fred Du Bois. business manager OF
The Heart OF Maryland" company. re-
Gently told the following stories of the
days when he was with the Albauxh
stock company at the Leland Opera
House in Albany:
Il recall when we put on The Ice
Witch for Christmas spectacle Ada
Rehan played the title part. We were
nonplused for a sprite, a fellow TO do
nipnops and go through the traps. MIR.
Alpaugh was in quandary when. a
Few days before the opening, the aero
BAT ne had engaged in New York sent
word that he couldn't come. One of the
stage hands said he knew a fellow who
was clever amateur acrobat. Hia
name was Lawrence Eddinger. and he
worked In an iron foundry. Mr.. Al
baugh sent for him, and he came up to
the theater at his dinner hour. Larry
had never seen a vampire trap in his
life. Mr.. Albaugh set him to work prac-
ticing at the traps, and the stage hands
had great fun with him. III you know
anything about Vampire traps. you will
understand that they are dangerous
things to joke with. When a man goes
up through trap, certain weights In
the apparatus are displaced. Well, the
stage hands put on extra weights when
poor Larry came to make his first ap-
pearance through the trap He was
sent sky high up among the flies, and
it's a miracle he wasn't killed. The
boys all thought Ii was a great Joke.
but / went down and gave them q little
lecture that brought them to their
senses.
I'm the orchestra we had a very fine
cornetist named Grady. He had come to
US from Canada, and / have heard that
he was deserter from the British
army. But at any rate he was a crack
erjack with the cornet. The only fault
with him was his fondness for the bot
tie, and when he had drop too much
on board he used to play accompani-
ments OF his own that would have terri
fed Wagnerian. After one of Grady's
musical orgies 1 went to Walters, the
leader OF the orchestra, and told him
never to allow Grady in the house when
he was intoxicated. The very next night
Grady turned up in beautiful state OF
soak. The overture began, and SO did
Grady. His cornet was the only instru-
ment you could hear. / went down un-
der the stage with one OF the grips and
told Grady wanted a word with him..
When he came. the grip and grabbed
him and fired him out Of the theater In

In the reign OF Louis XIV the single
opera glass was first used and very
soon became the rage among every
body who was anybody" In 1925 the
double opera glass came in. but at first
did not find favor among women. In
the first quarter OF the present century
a treatise was written on THE Art Of
Managing the Opera Glass" in which II
was stated that woman possessing
fine arms should hold the glass with her
two hands. If she had beautiful hands
she should remove her gloves, while IL
her neck were long she should lean back
In her chair. etc. In fact, II was quite
a treatise on feminine coquetry.

At one bound Harry Fixes, the cyclist,
has landed firmly in the center of the
middle distance racing arena. His re-
markable work against Tom Linton in
the recent 25 mile paced contest at the
Willow Grove track. Philadelphia. at
once placed him on a par with Jimmy
Michael. Eddie McDufie, Tom Linton
and Edouard Taylore.
On that same afternoon Michael and
McDuffie had engaged in a duel. in
which the Welsh Rarebit' had proved
superior. In the evening Elkes, follow
ing the same pacemakers who had pi-
loted Michael to victory, defeated Tom
Linton In a 25 mile race, In which all
worlds competition records. from Q TO
% miles inclusive. were smashed. Then
the Saratoga lad. instead OF stopping
and being content with his victory and
great effort, continued on after the
hour record and succeeded in covering
"a miles 1928 yards In the SO minutes.
This puts the recently made record OF
SO miles 966 yards, held by Edouard
Taylore. the crackerjsck young French
man. entirely In the shade.
Elkes' feat was even more wonderful
than the many inroads that have al
ready been made during the present
year on the 25 mile and one hour rec
ords. After an in and out season. In
which he has several times been beaten
and on two occasions has left the track
thoroughly exhausted. Elkes came TO
his speed that night with a rush, and
instead Of being unable to keep up with
his pacemakers was constantly urging
them on and demanding faster pace.
Up to that time his work had been very
disappointing tx the middle distance
races. but henceforth he must certainly
be reckoned with by those who aspire
TO national championship honors.
Elkes gained bit OF notoriety by
very good work In the six day bicycle
race at Madison Square Garden. New
York. last winter. He then declared
his intention to try his hand at the mid
die distance game this season. and more
than one expert thought he had better
than an average chance to become a
star.
His ride OF 25 miles In 4em l2s. Is an
average OF I'm. 42hs. to the mile. Going |
at practically the same rate, he would
