STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Nov. T.
The Stanford football team met its second
defeat of the season to-day at the hands
of the Olympic team. The game was
played on the university campus The
Stanford team seemed to lack ginger after
the hard game of Saturday, and the Olym-
pic forwards had little difficulty in tear
ing big holes in the Stanford line for their
backs to go through. The Olympics de-
pended almost entirely upon line buck
ing using their backs and their heavy
guards, Cotton and Cadwallader, to good
effect. When Stanford had the ball they
relied upon end runs for their gains,
Fisher and Smith both making gains of
fifteen yards in this way. Stanford was
notably weak on the defensive, partly be-
cause so many new men were tried in the
line. To the strengthening Of this part Of
the team the efforts Of Chamberlain will
now be particularly directed. McFadden
played a tine game at end CadWallader
kicked off for. the Olympics, Murphy max
ing pretty run-in of twenty yards. After
an exchange of punts Olympic got the ball
in Stan1ord's territory and bucked 1t
down the field, Levy carrying it over for
Murphy kicked off and the ball was re-
turned, Murphy getting it on Olympic's
thirty-five-yard line. Smith made fifteen
around the end and Fisher four through
tackle Murphy then tried for field goal,
but the ball was blocked, McFadden fall
ing on it. Stanford tried the ends again,
but made no gain, and Murphy fell back
for another try at the goal. His drop
kick from the eighteen-yard line went
squarely over the bar for the second time
this season.
The Olympics made one more touch
down in this half. They bucked the ball
to Stanfords twenty-yard line, lost 1t on
tumble and then Sheehy got it on Stan
kicking goal. The rest of the half Stan
ford kept the ball in the Olympic terri
tory, Fisher making one fine end run OF
eighteen yards.
The second half was a short one, and
the Olympics gained another touchdown
by bucking the line

agree that suicide is on the in
* crease. but the causes that they
assign vary all the way from the
Il weather to the decline Of the or
thodox religious faith. DR.. w. w. Ire
land gathers their conclusions in an ar
ticle In the Journal of Medical Science for
July, and the London Lancet makes an
abstract Of the article as follows:
The records collected by Durkheim
in 1897 show that there are always
more. suicides during. the six warm
months of the year april to Septem-
ber). This apparently holds good for
all countries in Europe. Thus, Of ev-
cry 1000 suicides per annum from $50 to
600 are committed in the warm summer
season, and but 400 In the rest of the
year.
A steady and rapid increase Of self
destruction is common to the whole
civilized world. "It Is most marked in
parts in the worlds doings." DR.. D.
r. Dewey has recently been studying
the question in the New England
States of America. He finds that since
1850 suicide has increased about 35 per
