PENNSY RATED AS LEADER

One OF the noticeable features of the
football year just concluded Is the fact
that not a big college team went through
its schedule without having been scored
upon. and the way points we're run up
against some OF them Is overshadowed
only by the former fact.
Pennsylvania, however. got of lighter
than any of the other big fellows. and
its team has the supreme satisfaction OF
knowing that no other eleven crossed its
goal line for a touchdown. Early in the
season Swarthmore kicked a goal from
the field, but up 20 that time nor after.
did any other eleven succeed I'm doing
even this. Again, the red and blue ran
up good sized scores and its playing was
undoubtedly the best, judging from tne
figures Of any team I'm the east during
the season.
The New Haven eleven seems TO be
Pennsylvania closest rival, for the num-
ber Of points scored by the blue was
only two less than by the Philadelphia
team, but Yale was scored on. I'm several
ways, 10 the tune OF 20. OF course,
toward the end OF the season, Yale PLAYED
harder teams than did Pennsylvania and
for this reason many may dispute Penn
sylvania's claim 10 leadership. but as
scores seem to furnish the only method
Of figuring out leadership II seems as
though Pennsy must have the honor
Princeton and Harvard have both been
scored on during the season rather freely
for such elevens. though Harvard allowed
no other team outside OF Yale and Penn
sylvania TO do this trick except Holy
Cross Annapolis, Cornell. West Point
and Yale were the warriors 10 cut into
Princeton. but as the leadership in the
score column seems 10 be the only one
over which dispute might arise all other
teams have been placed in such positions

ALL AMERICAN TEAM

AT THE ROUND TOP"
At the Beneicent Congregational
church the attendance was so large as
TO severely test the seating capacity OF

highest terms OF the eminent speaker
who was 10 follow him.
Mr.. Washington was introduced by Rev.
Asbury Krom and spoke in part as fol-
lows:
"One Of the most important sources OF
protection tsat any race OF people can
have is their usefulness 10 the COM
munity in which they dwell. Service
is the secret OF sovereignty! The man,
black or white who has learned 10 do
a common thing in an uncommon man
ner TO do something better than his fell
lows. will In time solve all the problems
that confront him at least.
FAITH IN THE WORK.
II believe thoroughly In the work
which the college, the university and the
industrial school can do at the present
time for the advancement OF my race
at the south In a very large measure
the negro has In his hands. at the pres
ent time. n large proportion OF the trades.
and skilled and common labor Of the
south. We must see TO IL that while the
head Is being educated that the hand is
also trained so we can hold on TO the
fundamental occupations that are repre-
sented in agriculture. mechanics and the
domestic sciences. No race can advance
very far In education. morals. religion or
politics that does not have an economic
and industrial foundation.
TUsKEGEE INSTITUTE
"It Is because OF that fact for years the
Tuskegee institute began to lay the foun-

The present commendable sentiment
regarding the disgraceful nabit OF lynch

except through the cooperation between

such sympathetic cooperation between
the races that our difficulties are finally
to disappear. While there are difficulties
at the south that are to be regretted al

Athletics Harm college Gir1e,

Women will never compete with
mems colleges in athletics. l see alb
solute1y no possibility of that ever TAX
ing place. The women do not seek
competition, and it would be of no
benefit to them. Women were not
originally intended for such violent
exercise as man, and some of the
things that they go into must strain
them. For women to put the shot is
preposterous.
There may be women living who are
made in such strange and unnatural
way that it Is not injurious for them
to put the shot, but for the majority
Of women 1t would be enough to hurt
them for life. Boating, also, is bad
for women. Women's colleges do not
have crews to any great extent, but
the women who do go into it will not
last long in their athletic life. Wom-
ems athletics are good thing in mod
GRAFTON, but for them to try to do all
that their brothers do is a mistake.
They can never attain to what the
men are doing and will only hurt
themselves in the attempt.-President
Eliot Of Harvard.

changed, in spite Of all the talk about
the sexes cycling each the other with
increasing Geliberateness and discrim-

on the contrary, an established fact
that those Americans who have been
Subjected to the enlightening infu-
ences of American civilization long
enough to be Influenced, are, as a
mass less eager to rush into matri-
mony, and more restless once they are
tied? Whether this be well or Ill Is

should come to pass that man would
