Foot Ball Given Scoring in the
Princeton Alumni Weekly.

Henry d. Thompson, a former member
of the graduate advisory committee of the
Princeton Athletic Association, has the
following letter in the Princeton Alumni
Weekly:
Foot ball has lost all the elements of
game. 1t has become a contest which ne
cessitates such a severe course of training
that question whether many players really
play the game for the pleasure there Is
in 1t. but they are held up to their work
by quixotic sense of duty toward the col
lege and the team The work is so strenu-
GUS that everything must give way to
meet the demands OF training The result
of this Is, so far as study is concerned, 1t
Is largely a closed season until the final
foot ball game is over.
ut yerges on the ridiculous when we
know that the average foot ball player for
six weeks practically drops all study and
attends recitations and lectures in purely
perfunctory manner. This intense appli-
cation to the duties of foot ball in many
instances produces q mental condition
which Is just as likely to bring on over
training as abuse of the physical condi-
tions. 1t is not unusual for an entire team
or part of team to take a week or ten
days off in the middle of term time and
attend some health resort-a change of
air (mountain or seal being needed as a
tonic to restore their mental and physical
conditions that have been hurt by oyat-
application to the duties of the game.
"The code Of ethics that obtains In foot
ball is not the code of any other sport In
golf player who knowingly and continu-
ally breaks the rules of the game is ostra-
cised In foot ball tripping. holding and
offside play done out of sight of the off
Gals CT the game are part of the roper
tory of first-class foot ball eleven. To
do up some particular star, who excels in
some department of the game, is part of
the duty of well-trained team, The use
of elbows and knees in close scrimmages
has been known to put many man out
of the game.
IAN instance in point: A player has his
shoulder injured. To protect 1t he has a
leather guard made. Going into one Of the
big games the leather guard Is shifted to
the Dtured shoulder. he knowing In at.-
vance We attack will be made where the
injury Is supposed to be.

OYSTER SUPPLY SHORT
AND NO RELIEF IN SIGHT

With Lent just begun the country
faces a shortage in the supply of
oysters and sea fish. The recent
storms on the Atlantic coast have in
terfeTed with the operations of the
fishing fleet to such an extent that
the sea foods will soon be luNurics.
The supply of oysters in Chicago is
about half what il should be. and
there is no relief in sight for at least
ten days.
The stocks which big dealers carry
for an emergency have been exhaust
cd. and the Wholesalers are depend
ing on the daily shipments. The fish
ermen i'm New York are idle. The
gales have driven all of the feet into
harbors.
''The price of oysters in bulk has
been advanced 10 per cent" said c.
w. Turner, of \. Booth Il Co, ycster
day. ''This does not represent what
we have to pay for them, for our cost
has gone up fully 80 per cent. We
have only about 90 per cent of our
usual supply this week. and last week
it was even worse. 1t will take at
least ten days before the market
reaches a normal condition. Shell
oysters have not been advanced yet,
blue points being 81 hundred, and
larger ones So Il hundred. Oysters
have been of better quality this
wear. and the demand has grown
largely on this account. This makes
the shortage all the more serious.
We are selling bulk oysters for SIPS
a gallon and selects bring $l.90. The
less business we do at these figures
the less money we Will lose"

full. uneNaggerated statement, would
not he adequately stated if il did not
say that n finer, richer. prettier trib-
ute of pure and thoughtful friendship
and esteem has not been paid in the
three cities. 1t was an evidence OF
kindly feeling to be cherished more
highly and more deeply than words
can express, and while for this reason
and the manner in which the gift was
bestowed, The Argus must fail to give
proper expression of its sentiments
direct. it will hold i'm its heart the
hope that il may in some respect, at
least, merit the beautiful remem-
brancc and all that ii conveys.
