SURPRISED WESLEYAN.
Holy Cross Proves Worthy Opponents
of the Methodists.

Middletown Nov. lin the Wes-
leyan- Holy Cross" college foot BAN
match played on Andrus field this af-
ternoon, the home team met all expec-
ations by defeating the Worcester col
egians and administering the anticip-
ated shut-out but the score fell far
short of what even the most sanguine
holy Cross supporters had dared to
count on The Mt, ST James eleven
journeyed to Middletown, confident
that an overwhelming defeat awaited
them here; but they met their sturdy
and more practiced opponents with a
do or die spirit, which dispelled at the
very outset the Methodists premedita-
tions of a drubbing and prevented
them not only from running up a score
of at least 40, as they had confidently
boosted they would before the game,
but also iprecluded their playing subs
during the second period-as was their
intention.
The first half was as close and as ex-
citing a contest as was ever played on
Andrus field, and the home team
counted themselves as very lucky to
score their only touchdown after fif-
teen minutes of fearful playing. Holy
Cross showed unexpected strength,
and once held the Connecticut collie
gians for downs on the courtyard line,
Wesleyan hit the Holy Cross line hard
and plowed through it for long gains
almost at will; but the Worcester col
lege forwards should not be censured
too much for this, as they were not re-
inforced by their rear men as they
should be. They did their duty as a
general thing by delaying the opposing
runner momentarily, and that was all
that could have been expected, as the
ground was slippery sheet of red clay
mud. e

The pronounced feature OF the game
was brilliant lodging run for nearly
the entire length of the gridiron and a
touchdown by Cannon, who secured the
bah from the kickoff Cannon played a
magnificent game, both on the defen-
sive and offensive. The Holy Cross
lads started in at a fast clip and forced
Endieott to safety after one and one
half minutes of play. Sturdy line buck
ings by the Holy Cross men were re-
sponsible for their other tallies. The
noticeable weakness with Gushing was
that they played too high on the line,
were slow In their formation and their

The question Of statehood Is now
q eading o1e with politicians and
placeseekers in Oklahoma. and as
the scheme adopted by them indi-
rectly involves the welfare of the
Indian Territory, everything tend
ing to throw light on the question
is of interest to our people. 1t has
been repeatedly asserted by single
statehood advocates In this Terri
tory that taxes in Oklahoma are at
the minimum and that the Indian
Territory would receive nothing
but benefits from q union. In
this connection the following wall
of the Shawnee Democrat 10 like q
lamp to the pathway of the I'M
wary:
Give us single statehood or no
statehood at all. We are not yet
ready to be burdened to death with
the high handed assassin of taxa
ton. Our taxes are now simply
enormous and with double state
hood the people would be confront
ed with a condition of affairs that
would endanger the future pros
poets of Oklahoma. The talk of
sending lobbyists to congress is
down out proffligacy.
AS stated heretofore, the ARD
MoREITE is not discussing the mer-
its or demerits of the statehood
question, because, statehood is not
an issue now, nor can it be until
the white elephant of allotment is
off our hands.
But in the matter for statehood
for Oklahoma, as proposed by the
Clarke Flynn combination, the
ARDMoREITE sees an issue in which
the Indian Territory is vitally in
terested. because they propose to
make this country the harvest field
of their tax gatherers when titles
here shall have been settled, and
this, too, without the consent of
our people. This disposition of
the Territory is to rest exclusive
ly with congress" and our people
are to be deprived of their privil-
ege of election by rendering the
constitution 'inapplicable."
Should they succeed in their
plan, which is highly improbable,
the people in this Territory are to
be saddled with this enormous"
taxation without receiving any of
the corresponding benefits of pub
lie institutions. That the people
of Oklahoma are afraid of double
statehood is amply evidenced by
the lack of enthusiasm among them
at the contemplated change, and
occasionally a spontaneous out
burst like the above from the
Democrat shows but too plainly
the purpose and intent as well
as the personnel of the Okla
homa statehood agitation.
In such matters, where the very
persons to be benefited by the
change cry out against it. it is
we'll for our people to inform them
selves Of the conditions which pro-
duce this resistance. and not to
accept blindly the assertion that
taxation in Oklahoma is at the
