LAFAYETTE ELEVEN
Tigers Show Up Slow and Fail to Gain
Against the Pennsylvania
Squad.

PRINCETON, n. J.. Nov. The
Tigers had a hard rub today and only
managed to defeat the Lafayette eleven
by the small score Of IL TO O. Six Of
these points were made in the first five
minutes of play IN the first half on a
touchdown by Dewitt and its goal by
Vetterlein. and the other five were on
a drop kick goal by Dewitt from the
40-yard line in the last three minutes
Of the second half.
The remainder OF the time the two
teams swept back and forth past the
middle Of The field. neither being able
to do much at advancing the ball. The
only chance Lafayette had of scoring
was early in the second half when Mont
han punted and Vetterlein dropped the
ball on his 2O-yard line, Lafayette get
ting 1t. From here Van Alta tried a
place kick goal. but failed on a poor
pass from center.
The playing of the Princeton team
lacked the snap and push that charac-
terized its work against Cornell last
Saturday. The men played as il in Z
daze and the looked-for slump has evil
IDENTIFY come at last.
Lafayette made the most Of this and
gained through every part of the Tiger
line. Cooney and Short were the weakest
points and Van Alta and Monihar
Lafayette's best ground gamers.

CONSUMING ITS CAPITAL.
Alarm Because Apparently Britain
BUYS More Than She Sells.

From the National Review Of London.
Our net exports of goods of our produc-
ton, mainly manufactured articles, only in
creased some f24 coo in the twenty years
from 1881 to 1901. Our net imports had in
creased f12l 100000 in that time. Rightly
estimated, the increase in the value of man
ufactures exported Is hardly much, as
we ought to deduct f90GO.0GO, the value of
ships exported, from the 100000, as the
corresponding figures were not included in
the figures for 1881 and 1891. If they are
taken off we find that the exports of our
own manufacture had only increased to-
600 900 in twenty years.
Meanwhile exports of the fireplace
able mineral wealth of the country had in
creased about 200 600 ,00O in that time Man
ufactured goods can be made, but mineral
products once extracted from the earth can
never be replaced. 1t is difficult to realize
this. 1t means that we are now selling
every year much of the soil of the united
kingdom is equal in value to one of our
counties In round figures there are $4,000
acres in the county of Suffolk. Taking the
value of the land in Suffolk. including all
buildings, railways and improvements at
something more than f3O an acre. it means
that the united kingdom had parted in 1901
with what was worth the whole of Suffolk
in value Did the country spend this
amount as income? If it did it will be so
much poorer for the future.
The important question for us IS this:
Can our position as a great nation be long
maintained without severe effort of econ
omy on our part? If part with our
mineral resources without outstanding their
proceeds we shall certainly invite, if not a
national catastrophe, a very serious period
of depression. Official returns show that
our mineral products are largely used, and
to an increased extent, to fill the gap be-
tween our imports and our exports When
our mineral resources are exhausted it is
difficult to where else we can turn. The
official statements show that copper is
scarcely now a British product. that tin is
decreasing, that the quantity of iron
brought to the surface from our mines is
distinctly less, and that coal is largely ex-
ported instead of manufactured goods.
When coal is more expensive to raise, how
shall we stand?
