Too Much OF a Good Thinq.

The announcement that the Yale
football scheme, this fall. includes an
organized and effective cheering sec
ton" whose duty it is to "whoop 'er
up constantly and vigorously from the
grandstand or the side lines, as an aid
to the victory of the team, suggests the
great Importance placed upon organ
lied roofing" in amateur sport Of the
present day. Roofing" is all right in
its place. but too much of it is a nuts
ance, and not only bothers the players
spectators very tired. Legitimate
cheering of good plays is most com
mendabe. and a certain amount of vo-
cal encouragement from a teams sup
poIters is fitting and helpful. but the
wild and ndiscriminate roofing"
which seeks to rattle the opposing team
and to settle the victory off the field
rather than upon it, is a great detri-
ment to true sport. Proof of this has
been seen upon Maine athletic fields.
In this connection the Hartford Cour-
ant has these rather scathing com
ments to make: 1T seems that the
players are a failure. and hereafter,
the battle is to depend upon the lungs
esting than hopeful and we still ven
ture to believe that the REGISTERS i'm
misnformation. The ridiculous per
formances Of the ''rooters" are the
most serious drawbacks to the athletic
games of the college boys. The racket
is uncomfortable. and the spectacle Of
educated gentlemen making such OBJ
trusiVe asses Of themselves is humili-
ating. When any play is made that
deserves admiration you cannot keep
an American crowd from shouting their
approval. Such praise is spontaneous
and worth having. but steady work at
hard-labor pace by established clac-
quers has no merit and does have
many Objectionable qualities. 1t is a
real Interruption. 1t takes the edge off
from any genuine display Of enthusi-
asm and approval. 1t confuses players
and observers ana it puts into places of
prominence certain pin-heads whose
only real claim to eminence Is that they
do not know enough 10 keep still. Bet

and arms and not with the jaw"

To settle a friendly dispute will you
kindly state in the columns Of the Jour

ends.
This matter has been much discussed
by nearly all papers and their readers
of late. and the conclusion always
reached after a little consideration is
that the 10Th century will end at mid
night. December 81. 1900 How can it
be otherwise, since there are 100 years
in a century, The first century began
with the first year and ended with the
end of the Tooth year: the second CEN

tinued to the end Of the year 200: ana
