TOLD OF OUR SENATORS.

Ten members of the United States
senate have passed the three score and
ten mark, but Senator Pettus, of Ala
bama, who is 7S, is now the Oldest mea,-
her.
Senator Allison, who has been in the
senate for 25 years. was one of the sec
retaries of the republican national con-
vention of 1860 and as such it was he
who announced the nomination of Lin
coin.
When Senator Burrows returned to
Washington after winning his figh, for
reelection in Michigan he was the re-
cipient of many congratulations. Sem
ator Elkins said: "Pingree made you
dig potatoes, though, didn't he?" "Oh,
YES" was the reply. "but l found a
grea, many more than our governor ex-
pected me to find"
During the course of speech in the
senate the other day Mr.. Catfery. of
Louisiana. read a long extract from
arge. clothhound volume. Some OF the
phrases attracted the attention of Sen
alor Spooner. who was among Mr.. Calf
ery'S auditors. and he asked: FROM
what is the senator reading?" 81 ain

crushing emphasis, from the constitu-
,ion Of the United States."'
Somebody recently published state
ment that Mr.. Jones. Of Nevada. was the
wealthiest man in the United States
senate. Since then he has been over
whelmed with begging letters Of all
sorts. He declares that since the puI-
iication referred 10 he has been asked
for sums aggregating over amilion dol
lars. adding his belief that he at pres
ent holds worthless prof1issory notes
for something like half that sum, most
ly given in sums Of S1O0 or less.

Yale by rushing gained her distance twice IN
succession: not more than three or four times

Yale got the ball n her possession into Har-
wards territory the Crimson rushers stiffened
and wrested the leather away. On the other
hand. Harvard made a series Of brilliant spec
tacular runs around the Yale ends and through
broken fields, and bucked the line TO such good
effect that a careful estimate showed that Har-
ward covered in rushing IN the course OF the
game something like three times the length OF
the field.
II must be borne in mind that Yale played al
most entirely through the game for a draw. She

not be scored upon by straight rushing football.

VIDUAL PLAYERS

this season have not been exceptional. but they
have had three features that are particularly
worthy Of mention-hrst, their one-sdedness' sec
ond the ncompetency Of the schoolboy officials,
and. third the numerous charges Of professionalism
that have been made.
In nearly every contest one team has been 80 FAR

lacking and the games have merely developed into
struggles Of brute strength To determine the high
est possible scores that could be rolled up Close,
hard fought contests have beet toe exception.

The third and last noteworthy feature was the
protesting Of Trinity and De La Sale schools for
the alleged playing o: ineligible students in the
interscholastic games. As reported In The Tribune
at the time, the charges were heard by com
mittee consisting OF three masters selected from
disinterested schools. This committee thought the

gladiatorial combsts between Yale and Prince
ton. 1t is almost impossible to place together
sufficient trustworthy data from which to form
definite opinion 10 which team will be the
victor Manhattan Field. The point that is
going to decide the result, and that at pres
ent Is such an uncertain and variable quantity.
Is the condition Of the two elevens. Shortly
after her victory over Yale Columbia showed
distinct signs Of WEAKNESS and entertaining. At
lust about the time OF the game with Princeton
the Carlisle Indians showed the same character
istic. The questions arise. Have both teams re-
covered from their staleness? or are they both
still afflicted with II? or has one team recovered
and the other team not? II is altogether prob
able that IL either eleven has the advantage
over the other on the one point II VIII win the
game But II II should so happen that both
teams go into the contest about evenly matched
In physical condition. then the struggle will In
deed be a fierce one. In that case should look
to see Columbia to be winner by an exceedingly
narrow margin, not because Columbia has
played on the whole any better football than
the Carlisle Indians this season. but because the
Carlisle Indians seem TO have the habit. or mis-
fortune OF finishing the season weakly. Column
bia Is minus Captain Wilson at quarterback. but
he fully expects TO be able TO play next Thurs

could have been believed by Putnam. Column

ence should go far toward making the Cornell
rush line a strong we'll against Pennsylvania,
providing the Cornell players remain in good

The game will not be lost by pennsylvania
however, without terrific struggle, for there Is

lives to win. This season has been the most dis
astrous In their history, and they Will work with

and to make a victory over Cornell at the close

nell on the other hand, while spurred on to hard
work will not have quite so desperate an In

for defence, but had II made repeated and We
hement efforts to score. the result Of the game
would almost undoubtedly have been a Harvard
victory, for Yale would have spent her strength
and vigor and would not have had the stamina
to Withstand the terrific Harvard onslaughts
WHERE HARVARD FELL DOWN.
II was for these reasons Just explained at
length that most experts left Soldiers Field at
Cambridge a week ago with the belief that
Harvard had showed a superior team. but one
that was not sufficiently superior under the cir
cumstances to score a downright victory Har-
wards failure to win with an eleven that had
been adjudged so much better than Yale at al
most every point in the game has been account
ed for in various ways. Some say that the
eleven men were overconfdent: others say that
poor generalshp displayed and valua BILE
opportunities thrown away. 1t hardly the
case that the Harvard men were overturned.
They did not quite fit as Yale's. but
still they in first class condition. Har-
wards failure TO win may therefore be ascribed
perhaps to a combination Of the other three
causes just named. though certainly not TO over
training. But the most potent reason for Har-
wards slip up lay In the lack OF resourcefulness
shown by the Crimson eleven. When Yale
showed a style and variety Of attack wholly
different from what had been expected, the
Harvard team showed distinct lack OF resource
in adapting itself 10 the new conditions pre-
scented and In promptly changing its own style
OF play so as still TO overwhelm Yale. That
readiness Of resource. that quick shifting Of the
mind and body from one particular style OF ac-
tivity TO another should be the characteristic OF
every well rounded athletic team. and II was at
that particular point that Harvard almost per-
feet at other points fell down. Were Harvard
any other college than Harvard, where both de-
feats and victories seem 10 be taken rather
philosophically there would probably be some
pretty harsh things said about an eleven that.
although stronger. with more prestige and bet
ter calculated in every way TO win victory.
suffered its rivals TO prolong the game to q
draw. 1t Is quite true that In every form of
sport the virtual champion. whoever he may
be. remains champion until he Is defeated, and
accordingly Harvard. last year being unQues-
there, unless Princeton defeats Yale in the
game that is being played at the time of writ
Ing or unless Yale in the self-same contest
shows a form greatly superior to what she dis
played at Cambridge. and complete as
to lead TO the belief that with the same game
she could have won from Harvard Should on
the other hand, the Tigers be victorious over
Yale. then to Princeton must be accorded first
place this season.
