PARK AVENUE CHURCH
RICH IN A NEW ORGAN

The new pipe organ of the Park
avenue Methodist church was used
Yesterday for the first time.
This organ was purchased in the
summer from the Church of the
Unity and about $500 has been expend-
ed for repairs. The case and both
manuals are new and new tremolo
has been put in. The action has been
rebushed throughout. The result is
that Park avenue church has one Of
tbe best sounding organs in the city.
If was made 80 years ago by Hook
of Boston now Hook & Hastings, one
Of the best firms in the country. AS
a violin improves with age so does
a pine organ though, perhaps, to less
extent. A competent judge has said
recently that this organ for richness
of tone is surpassed by few in Worces-
ter's churches.
There was a little extra music yes
terday morning in celebration OF the
event. Miss Maud Bancroft was the
organist. Several special selections
were rendered by the quartet and
chorus. .,..
A series of recitals viii be @iven dur
ing the winter. The first will be given

Stories Told by the Yale Under
graduates

| New Haven, Oct. 27.-Ugly stories are
heard about the game between Column
bia and Yale yesterday, the Yale
students claiming that several of the
men on the Columbia eleven were not
bona fide students.
The Yale football authorities will not
make any statement to that effect but
admit that investigation has been
started The undergraduates demand,
there be no gamenext year with Column
bia, but the management will not say
that that will be the course pursued.
Coach C. Foster Sanford of Column
bia, while here denied absolutely that a
single man on the Columbia eleven was
not a student in good standing in that
university.
The Yale coaches have said that no
protest will be made about yesterdays
game, but they do not deny the re-
port that is current on the campus
that Yale will refuse Columbia date
hereafter.
New York, Oct 27.-Columbias' foot
ball players and the undergradu
generally are indignant over the in
situation made by Yale that Columbia
had ringers on her team, even though
an nOuf dIter Iney were maui IAC III
situations were retracted.
Prof. George w. Kirchwey of the Co
lumbia faculty committee on athletics
when seen in regard to the eligibility
of Columbias grid-iron men, said to-
day:
1.-THE rules Of the faculty committee
provide that no one shall be allowed
to represent the university in any pub
lie contest unless ne can satisfy the
l.. de-
be throughout the academic year,
bona fide member of the university,
taking a full years work.
$50 far as the committee has been
able to determine, every member of
the Columbia varsity football team
has fulfilled this requirement. The
faculty committee not being mind
readers has no means of determining
in advance the good faith of students
who take part in athletics who are reg
ularly entered as students in the uni
versity.
so far as the football team is con
cerned, the committee has no reason
to believe that any of the men who
played against Yale are other than bona
fide members of the university" In
this connection the Herald will say to-
morrow:
1T is known, however, that the facul-
ty committee has not regarded Lancon
and Kingdom, two members of the foot
ball team, with suspicion, only from the
fact that two or three years ago these
men played in athletic club teams
This was considered ground for a rig
orous investigation. The men have
been before the faculty daily and
cross-exanined as to the motives that
prompted their entering Columbia. Ev
cry possible source of information and
every clew has been examined, with the
result that nothing detrimental could
be found against them"

President John Mitchell, of the Uni

his way to attend the Mitchell day eel
ebration in Wilkesbarre Tuesday. He
commended the course of the local
mine workers in taking up the fight of
the street car men, saying:
The destruction of one union en-
courages efforts at the destruction of
others l trust the miners will give the
street car men all the support in their
power"
Mr. Mitchell goes to Huntington, w

vention of mine workers.
