Jacob Gould Schurmann, president of
Cornell, recognized as one of the leading
college presidents OF the country, eX-
pressed himself in no uncertain terms be-
fore the Associated Academic Principals
meeting at Syracuse Thursday, when he
pronounced the agitation against foot ball
"lf not hysterical and frenzieo, at least
one-sided and unfair" He stood out strong
for the game and said that the abolish
ment should not be considered for min
ute but simply modified to remove the ex-
ira hazards. He said that the game OF
foot ball was an effective antidote to
effeminate weakness, TO low vice and fool
fish disorder and govern thousands of stu
dents year after year without the aid Of
jury court or policeman. He quoted the
scriptures to show that they enjoined the
people to endure hardships. President
Schurmann said that the principal obiec-
lions to the present game could he obvlated
by a strict enforcement Of the present
rules. although he believed that the rules
could be modified TO some extent. He also
spoke Of the commercial side Of the game
and said that that might always exist TO
some extent as long as the gate receipts
are as large as at present.

Of the law school. Prof Prison Of the scieu-
tihc school and Prof. Lewis Of the acs-
demic department Profs Prison and
Lewis have not heretofore been identified
with Yale athletics II is understood that
the committee will go into the entire ques-
ton Of what is termed athletic abuse
including the question Of predominance Of
athletics in Yale undergraduate life. the
training table system, the relation of ath-
letics to scholarship. the charge OF financial
extravaganza in connection with athleucs,
and in particular, the form OF the report of
the financial union and the handling Of the
surplus from year to year, which have been
left out of the reports, It is asserted. This
surplus at the present time is thought TO
exceed 10000.
The Crimson, which last year was able,
owing to the absence of DAILY from the
Yale eight, some say, to put up such
close fight with the New Haven't, es, GER
tainly looks good this season. Not only
is there a large number of good oarsmen
in addition to the veterans of last seasons
crew, but there is more of a concerted
feeling of ability to win at Harvard this
year than ever before. plan has been
put in operation this year by which the
varsity crew has been rowing almost in
the shape that is likely to have in the
race at New London next year. The crew
was formed early in the fall with the
veterans of last year, who had the time
and some of the members of last years
freshmen boat, and has been rowing
together ever since. Among these is d.
Milburn, who rowed at oxford, and should
therefore fit in with the developing of the
Harvard crew along English lines, which
Captain Filley is trying to do. Filley
stroked the crew at New London, but in
some of his recent makeups he has been in
scat six. The University crew is rowing
in the following makeup; Virgins, bow:
T8ppan, q Gill, 8; Glass, 4; Bacon, 5;
Filley, 6; Newhall, T. and Margan, stroke.
James Wray, the Australian coach who
did much good work with the Crimson oars
men last year, will again be in charge.
Wray should do much better this year than
last, owing to the fact that this will be
his second consecutive year with the men
with whom he will have to work. Captain
Oliver Filley has done more for Harvard
rowing than any other captain for long
time. He was the chief factor in bringing
Wray to Cambridge and making it possible
that the latter should have sufficient
authority to turn out a fast crew. Filley
stuck to his professional coach last spring
when, after the Cornell Harvard race, in
which the Crimson oarsmen were disas-
trously beaten, it appeared as though
Wray's efforts were a failure.
Captain Filley will undoubtedly stroke
the Cambridge eight again this year. This
will make his third year as stroke.

Westerners can see no reason why the
old body should claim the right to draft
the rules to govern the game for the whole
country and the conference acted wisely
when it took the action 1t did. This Is

weeks ago. The University of Nebraska is
represented in the rules committee by Prof.

there is any reason why such institutions
as are represented by these sixty-eght in

these old fellows knew all about the game,
when the game was in its incipiency and
when no western college had. coach, but
that time is passed. Time was when Stage,
as coach of the Chicago team, played and
acted as captain of the team because he
had no one skilled enough in the game to
do the business. but those days are passed,

George Huff. the veteran coach OF the
University of Illinois foot ball team, is out
with an interview in which he says that
players would not be injured nearly as
much as they are were 1t not for the hard
fields on which they are compelled to play.
The foot ball season is a season of rain in
most of the territory in which 1t is played.
and fields become soft and the players are
put to play upon 1t in practice, which
makes il rough, so that when a freeze
comes along it is about the toughest place
imaginable. Many a foot bail game is
played upon fields which are about the
toughest places in the whole country.
Marshall field at Chicago is soft and has
plenty of sand in the makeup of the soil,
so that this difficulty is done away with.
If the fields could be especially prepared
so that these difficulties would be done
away with many injuries which players
now receive would not be heard Of.

Visitors TO the automobile show, which
opens in Madison Square Garden. January
13, will be astonished to see the variety
OF styles in motor cars that the American
and foreign manufacturers will offer for
1906. New construction in chassis and the
increased power and flexiblity of motors
has made it possible to build cars of every
conceivable design, both for business and
for pleasure, and the plans for the coming
show classify all vehicles Consequently
those who attend will be able to see their
favorite cars without going through all of
the show spaces. Although no motive
power, beyond gasoline, steam and electric
ity has ben successfully marketed, there
will be an endless variety of carriages with
these three proven powers In gasoline
there will be motors of one, two. six and
eight cylinders, with steam cars containing
single and compound engines, while the
great advance in electricity can be seen and
appreciated. Judging from advance reports
received from the factories throughout the
runabouts to lotion trucks, will include
touring runabouts, Surveys, touring cars,
landaus. victorias, limousnes, coupes,
broughams, omnibuses, landaulets, phse-
tons, stanhopes, cabs, wagonettes. delivery
wagons, moving vans and trucks for every
possible kind of service. On Wednesday of
show week the National Association of
Automobile Manufacturers will hold its
annual meeting at the Victoria hotel.

eating the rice situation, and passing
through Jennings gave out the follow
ing interview to the Times Record:
Il have been out in the surrounding
country looking after the rice crop in
a general way and find everything
quiet on acc9QBt of the holidays.
There is very little rice in the interior
most of it concentrated at the mills
and shipping points,
! see no reason VIII u,;,h tho i+"n
bf vne year trade should not again get
in good swing and the good move
ment of the past four months continue.
The low basis of value has made
money for the dealers, jobbers and
distributors and they therefore will be
encouraged to take hold and the wise
thing for US to do, in nv judgement,
is to meet them and turn the good
loose right straight along.
Values should 60 no lower, nor
will they, but on the other hand, all
the circumstance considered, should
we expect higher prices this season?
Lets take our medicine this year
so that we will let the next crop
stand on its own merits and doing
this, | firmly believe, will mean higher
prices for the year l9O5-19O6."

Dear Sir: "Three-quarter paint" is

Devoe is the standard: mark it 100
The next-best-there are several not

you may mark them Is to Devoe's 100.
The bulk OF the paint in market are
10 or 80 or 90; a few are better than

How do they act? They cover from
one to three-quarters as much as
Devoe; and they last from one to
three.quarters as long as Deyoe.
What are they worth? The same

they are not worth anything: the

The Problem of Success.

There is no word in the English Ian
guagc with more shades of meaning
In the definitions Of it, pronounced and
implied, than the word success. Only
through understanding this truth can
we account for much that is said and
written upon the subject Of success in
life. The results Of LIES work meas
ured in money may mean to one man
comfort, freedom from debt and peace
OF mind. To another man anything
short of the accumulation of millions
of dollars is failure. An excellent way
to measure the results is TO consider
how close one comes to realizing his
ambition. If one aims at star and
reaches no higher than the moon, he
may by this rule be said to have fallen
short, and to that extent he is a fail
ure, though the height he has attained
may be counted as considerable. To
become famous, rich, great, powerful
these are the evidences Of success
which the world recognizes. In the
worlds view contentment and happi-
ness are not necessary accompani-
ments to achievements In chosen fields
to make successful life.
While this disparity Of opinion as to
what constitutes success exists and
will probably always exist, much that
Is written and spoken about the means
of achieving success will impress the
thoughtful as exceedingly foolish. A
certain New York newspaper has been
for long time conducting a sympo-
SUM on the problem of success and
how to solve it. All sorts and condi.
tons of men, presumably all success.
full In their respective fields, have con-
tributed to this symposium. 1t is no.
tceable that the writer's, in some cases
without intention, have depended
wholly upon their own lives for their
lessons. In effect they say: Y sue.
ceeded by this plan. Try it." They
forget that the environment Of all
young men Is not the same; that sim.
tlar opportunities do not come to all.
This Is not said in a spirit of pessi-
mism; It is a simple statement of q
truth.
Again, we are prone to overlook the
fact that he who Is counted successful
today may be classed with the fail
ures tomorrow. This latter thought is
particularly applicable to those who
come under the general classification
Of business men. 1t has been asserted
that more than three-fourths of the
men who engage in business fail soon.
er or later. What proportion Of these
reach what may be called success be-
fore they fail statistics do not show.
In the final analysis the method Of
solving the problem of success Is not
any mans or any set of mems to pro-
mulgate. He who does the best he
can with the talents he possesses and
in the environment which surrounds
him will win what is worth more
than the reclamation the world gives
to the supposedly successful man-his
own approval. He who tries to sue
coed by some ready made. copyrighted
plan is likely to grasp only a handful
Of ashes at the end of life Of imita-
ton that has destroyed the self in him.
This is not success.
