George L. Cooke For vico Presiden-
cv of L. A.. W.--Notes.

The first candidate forone of the national
vice presidencies of the L. A. w. to APP
pear is George L. Cooke, Chief Consul
sc the Rhode Island Division. He has
been placed in nomination by the Board
of Oficers Of his division in an official
resolution. Mr.. Cooke has held his
present position for several years, and
during that time has succeeded IN
making his division one of the most
effective parts Of the organization. He
is known in the national assembly as
one of the most conservative yet pro-
gressive, n of the national body,
and In serving as executive pro tenn. he
has earned the reputation of being one of
the best presiding officers in the League.
wheelmen who think the only or prin-
cipaI object of the L. A. w. is the con-
troll OF cycle racing, and that they are
not interested in the organization because
thew may not be interested in the govern
rpent Of the sport, should know that this
is but one of a dozen or more departments
of the League. The principal others are
those working for highway improve
ment. rights and privileges for cyclists.
touring, hotel and repair shop
dations. road books. periodicals and var
ions others. IN these there can be no
disbursement to the opinion that they are
deserving Of the fullest support, and even
those who disagree with the League IN
lis control OF racing are not slow Ii say
ing the organization Is deserving Of fhe
support of every wheelman In IT'S other
departments. The only way that these
branches Of cycling can never accomplish
anything is BY organization, and this the

Stevens Beat Rutgers in a
Hard Game Yesterday
--0ther News.

The elevens of Stevens Institute and
Rutgers met yesterday afternoon on St.
Georges Cricket Grounds. Hoboken. The
game, which was an exciting one, resulted
in a victory for Stevens by a score of
12-5. The play was full of ginger and
hard knocks. Stevens victory was a vic
tory Of sleight bah passing. In concerted
team play neither team showed up well,
the backs on 10th doing nearly all the
work. Rutgers had a slight advantage
in weight. especially in mid line. Both
teams scored a touchdown in the first
half. Rutgers made hers first by punch
ing the line, Ful1back McMann retaining
the ball and punching up with Paterson
n woodruff. Stevens first touchdown
was made on a blocked punt made by
Rutgers. which went over the line and
sheered off from Percy. Waters fell ON it.
The goal was kicked by Captain Meyers.
In the second half the latter made the
sensational play of the day. scoring an
other touchdown for Stevens after a run
of forty yards. 1t was the old quarterback
returned pass trick and worked smoothly.
The interference formed at the right end
and the bah was carried nicely. Meyers
kicked the second goal. Score at com
pletion of game:-Stevens, u; Rutgers, 5.
