The Republicans need not ex-
pect the Negroes to support them
or the merits of the Republican
party forty years ago. The Ne
gro is not a Republican by tradi-
ton but for the good, protection
and recognition offered now. All
democrats, so far as that is con
cerned, were not pros avery
men nor secessionists-so don t
brig up those dead issues, but
what will you do now? Now is
the psychological moment to
show up. We want Negroes on
the tickets for office and want
the support Of the white Repub-
llcans If they expect ours. We
have run men but have failed to
get their support.

What Does Riotous Mean?

The Forum, like any other pa
per or individual may make a
mistake, and, in deducing an ac-
count of an affair, according to
the source from which it came :,
may, if the account be exagger-
ated, exaggerate in our deduc-
ton or comment. In a local
sqrib last w elk. we SAID that the
officers of the Woodriver Baptist
A ISOLATION were, on account of
a "wrangle,' all re elected, and
that there were 'riotOus times. ,"
and that such thing is a shame
on the church. Now, if that is
erroneous, as some have said, we
are glad to make correction, for
we would rather be wrong than
right with that report. But the
Forum holds that. that is not
necessarily any reflection on the
church. Of course it might not
have been "a shame and a. the
same time been "riotOuS' 1t all
depends on the real feeling of the
men at heart toward each other.
You will find the word riot to
mean: "Wanton or unrestrained
behavior; to raise an uproar. The
syntax is: Tumult, uproar, sedi.
ton. So you see riotous need
not necessarily be SO offensive
as some Of our friends seem 10
opine. We suppose everything
went Gu fairly we'll, except a lit
tie excitement at climaxes, and
there is nothing maliciously in
tended by us. You will find
"wrangle" to mean a dispute. a

Saxon word, "wringan, ano
from these quotations you should
reach conclusion.
The Forum takes no stock in
condemning people on hearsay
evidence, but, hope. whenever a
man is unjustly accu Sed, his con-
duct and manner will prove All

ser's testimony irrelevant aud the

send-off that a Harvard team ever got on

Light Work for Pennsy.
PHILADELPHIA, October 27.-The last
work at Pennsylvania in preparation for
the Indian game today was of the lightest
kind. The men were not allowed to get
into actual scrimmage play because the
coaches were taking chances of injury
to any one on the eve of the contest now
that every one Is in prime condition, and
they gave the entire squad just the proper
amount of exercise to make them keen for
the game. Capt Greene tried out his punt
ers and catchers a long time with the as
sistance of Reynolds. and the captain then
got busy at place kicking. with Folwell.
Hollenbach and Draper doing the same.
The four players sent them over from all
the different angles and passes and 1t will
take very fine stroke Of work on the part
of the Indians to keep Greene or Folwell
from scoring in this manner once they have
the ball inside the thirty-fve-yard line.

FOOT BALL NOTES.

Yales original and patented blocking sys-
tenn to make place kicks failures Is hailed
with ridicule by Harvard. One OF the Grim
son coaches said that If Yale tried any such
tactics as having half the players stand on
the other halfs shoulders the Harvard men
would keep fixing the position OF the ball
and wasting time until the Yale acrobats
toppled over.
first-year man at Pennsylvania who
promises to be q strong addition to the
Quakers next year Is Macklin, who Is now
playing on the freshman eleven. Macklin
and Mccormick of Princeton were rivals
for fulfback at Exeter and Mccormick only
just won out at the position - ''''-.
The construction Of 1900 more seats at
New Haven for the Harvard game is under
way. bringing the seating capacity at Yale
Field up to 31OO0. Tickets for the game
will be placed on sale next Tuesday. Any
Yale or Harvard man whose tickets are
have his name published In the college
papers and will lose his privilege of ever
applying for season or Yale-Harvard game
tickets in the future. The privilege is
first time to use the application Of another
student in order to get more than four
tickets. provided the application is signed
by the other student.
When Is hurdling not hurdling? This Is a
complication confronting the foot ball Of
fcials. Coach Stage declares that the word
''hurdling'' In the rules must be accepted
according to the old Interpretation. When a
man is down on his back or face. a man
carrying the ball has right to jump over
him, but when man is in any way on
his knees or feet, and the runner attempts
to jump over him, it must be construed as
an attempt to hurdle. and the penalty must
be inflicted in fairness to the rival team.
Pa Corbin OF Yale, who has been off,
ciating at the Pennsylvania games, says the
distinction lies in a step and a jump.
If a player who has made fair catch Is
thrown to the ground his side receives If
teen yards. Coaching from the side line
means loss of fifteen yards to the Offend
ing team. Roughing players by the use Of
fisticuffs Is punishable by disqualification Of
the offending player and the loss by the of
Tending team OF half the distance to its
own goal. Piling up on player after the
ball is declared dead. tripping. tackling
out of bounds and hurdling is punished by
loss OF fifteen yards. The man who first
receives the ball from the snapper back
must cross the line of scrimmage at least
five yards outside of the point where the
ball was snapped. or his side be penalized
fifteen yards. These are by no means all
the penalties included in this years rules

letting Finn take Yves, to the front for a

PRINCETON, N. J.. October 27.-The
practice yesterday of the Princeton foot
ball team was very light In preparation for
the Cornell game. The gates were closed.
and II Is thought that this means new
trick plays will be sprung today. The
undergrad uate body is stirred up as never
before at the prospect OF this game be-
cause Cornell Is known to have one of the
strongest teams in It's history and Prince
ton men think that Capt. Dillons eleven Is
up to the standard OF the best of Prince
ton teams, which is saying a great deal.
About l 100 Princeton students will at
tend the game. Cornell money Is very
scarce even at the odds of to /. Trainer
Flood says that all his men are In first
class shape. The team looks very evenly
balanced. the line from tackle to tackle
averaging more than 200 pounds All the
men heavy and fast Herring has i'm

play star game. Capt. Dillon Is good.
consistent guard. and Martin seems to have
the call over Rhenstein and Larson for the
other guard Cooney and Stanard are
pair of tackles such as are seldom seen on
one team. Wister and Hoagland at the
ends comparatively inexperienced. but
are fast and heady players.
Eddie Dillon is one OF the best quarter
backs Princeton has ever had. Harlan
and Daub halfbacks make a fast pair
very hard to stop and wonderful defen-
sive work. Tibbott and Miller are both
very fast and are fully the equal Of the
frst pair. AS a fullback Mccormick Is be-
his line plunging. interference and backing
up Of the line being phenomenal. Harlan
Is expected to be heard from in the drop
