FOOTBALL EFFECTS
Walter Camp Tells of the Good Moral Lessons That the
 Game Teaches.
SUCCESS REQUIRES WORK
Sport Appeals to Cultured People Who Appreciate it's Many
 Qualities.

Some people have the idea that all We do at Yale is talk athletics" said Walter Camp the other day, That is not so. At this period of the year you might wander over the campus and visit the students in their rooms all day, and you wouldn't hear football or any other topic of sport mentioned. However, I for one at Yale think there are good reasons for trying to. succeed at what one undertakes, and I don't know but what the system that has brought us certain degree of suc- cess, in football at any rate, has re- suited in our worrying less and giving less thought to football than is the case at some other institutions Who shall be captain and who shall be head coach lTU-T- next season are not matters which are giving Yale men any great concern, for they have come to know that those questions are so managed here that whatever is done about them will be the result of a system that has been successful
 We think success in football Is worth striving for, because its teaches linen that if they are to accomplish what they set about to do they must do so by work and submission to dis cipline. That is a good lesson to teach man Drinking dissipation, is not good form for college men nowadays time was when not much was thought of it. Take such men as Tad Jones' a leader among his fellows and who leads an upright life. Other students imi- tate his habits, and such imitation, un- conscious, perhaps, does them world of good.
 "The man who goes in for athletics soon finds that he must go according to a schedule if he is to keep up and make the most of his time, When the moment comes for study he has no time to lean on window sills and talk with his fellows He must get right down to his books, must apply him. self during his study hours. He quickly learns that he must systematize his i hours for sport and study, and habits of regularity and order soon come to l him.
 Football appeals to the best people. That Is evident when one sees the size of the crowds and the people compos- ing them. It is game of strategy skill and brains, and it appeals to eul- tured and intelligent people who ap- preciate what qualities it represents. ?

Tornadoes Won.


 Wallingford defeated Meriden in a rattling good exhibition of roller polo at the Casino Hanover park. Saturday evening by a score of 5 to 4. The con test was fast and exciting from start to finish, and both sides put up g. great fight Mayor Riley opened the game by placing the ball on the spot and reading the lineup. The battle started off in a Whirlwind manner and after fifteen minutes of furious driy- ing and slashing the score stood, Wal lingford 1 Meriden 1. In the next per iod two more goals were caged, one for the locals and one for Meriden, and this period ended with the score still tied. The last was by far the best, and both teams went in with a do or die spirit, Two goals for each side were caged in the first ten min utes of play, and at this point the crowd got worked up to the highest pitch. Then by some fine team work Wallingford made the deciding score, and the crowd from here let out a roar, Welch, Del Rosso and Clahan did good work for Wallingford; Hart and Hackett features for Meriden. The lineup:

YALE FENCERS WIN Old Eli Representatives Victors in the Semi Final
 Round
OF TOURNEY FOR MEDALS
Army Men Make a Strong Showing and Take Every Bout from
 French Y. M. c. A.

The Yale fencing team, A, c. Staley, D. H, Smith and J. T. Loree, defeated their rivals from the New York Turn Verein, Saturday evening at the French Y. M. c. A. in West Fifty fourth street, New York, winning the semi-fnal round of the tournament for medals.
 Nine small armies of fencers repre- senting the leading clubs and colleges of the East. They fenced on the stage in the auditorium of the Y. M. c. A. and in a large room on the ground floor and the clashing of blades and flashing of steels served to keeq three hundred votaries of the sport who crowded both halls interested up to the last moment.
 As was to be expected, the represen- tatives from West Point did so well that early in the evening they showed that they were prepared to battle hard for the three medals offered by the French Y. M. c. A. to the victors.
 One of the most interesting bouts took place when c. G. Amend, of Columbia university met A. Q. pick inson of West Point. Dickinson is q tall, rangy youngster, while the blue and white representative is small and wiry Amend was the speedier of the two and pressed his opponent from start to finish.
 The army man was forced to con- tent himself with defensive tactics for the greater part of the time, but usu- ally made his sallies count when he took the offensive. The judges am nounced it a draw
 Another two minute bout was con tested and the judge still could arrive at no decision, After slight rest the two resumed hostilitiu5, and the West Pointer at last caught his opponent mapping on two easy feints.
 The teams were as follows:
 Yale--A C. Staley, D. II. Smith and 1 J. T. Loree.
 West Point-A. 0. Dickinson, H. sneed and F, Lears.
 New York A. GIG. K Bainbridge, R. Adams and F. J. Byrne.

BOWLING TONIGHT Huber's Independents Will Roll Jimmie Watts Algonquins
 of New York,
ALL IN BEST OF CONDITION
RiddeII Will be the Fifth Man on the Locals, With Reilly as the
 Substitute.

The greatest bowling match ever piled in New Haven is that which will e rolled at the Tuxedo alleys tonight between the New Haven Independents and Jimmie Watts Algonquins of New York. The members of both the teams have been practising the entire week and are all rolling in first class style.
 The Algonquins who will roll are Jimmie Smith, who recently won the worlds championship by defeating vorheis in Brooklyn; Jimmie Watt. Dave shiman, Wyman, schwebekee, with Sauer as substitute. The In- dependents will be made up: Huber, Janswick, Collett, Webber and Rtddell. The substitute will be Reilly.
 The five men match will be rolled at 7:S0 o'clock, and the others follow in descending order For the Indepen- deMts the three who roll best in the five match will roll in the second match The two out of the three who roll best will roll in the third match and the one with the highest score will roll Jimmie Watt, who says he is to have the one man match for him self.
 Jimmie Watt wants to get at Col lett. and for this reason hopes that Collett will prove himself the best of the five New Haven bowlers. Watt has been looking for a chance to roll Collett for a long time, but for some reason they have been unable to con- meet.
 There is great deal of interest among New Haven and New York bowlers in the contest, which will make the Independents, if they win, a team of national reputation. At the Tuxedo alleys there will be seats fo1 about 500 people, and many of them have already been sold.
 To back the Algonquins crowd ot Brooklyn fans are coming up. and il was said last night that the bunch would be about evenyy divided among supporters of the Independents and ol the New York team,
 ---s,s.afore the match Morris Hermann for the Independents, will deposit $125 with the Journal Courier as guaran. tee that a return match will be played in New York. In the event of any disagreement tonight a board of ar. bitration will be appointed to see tc whom the $l00 now on deposit at this office for the match Will go.

College Sports.

Another dream bubble burst. Har- ward has not the slightest idea of try ig to arrange a football game with Princeton next fall, The authorities point out that Harvard has four hard games. Brown Carlisle, Dartmouth and Yale, in addition to playing either the Army or Navy, and that is quite enough. Those who have seen Har- ward play are quite willing to agree that this is enough, or that tnere is something radically wrong about Har- yard.

Drives for the Cage

There will be three games at the G4uinnipiac ring this week. Tomorrow night the league leaders will be our victims We fell their prey Saturday night, but revenge is due Bone's ag- gregation tomorrow. Hartford has about the best team in the league and the game which starts the local fans moving for the week ought to be a corker.
 Wednesday (Christmas) afternoon Waterbury will float into the Quinni- piac rink, They were easily captured by the local tribe twice last week, but they have it in for the Boneyards and will carry hatchet to scalp the Elm City aggregation. This game will start at o'clock and ought to attract the largest crowd of the season.
 Friday night New Britain, second in the National league standing, will trip lightly within McLay's apartments New Haven needs no introduction to Jean's assortment and will endeavor to down them before the finish of the contest, Shiffer and Jean are memor- able names and the sound of their names arouses the blood of all the New Haven players.
 The Waterbury Herald acknowledges that although New Haven has the lightest players in the league, they win l a game every now and then If Water bury could win a game once in a while they might be on the raise"
 A fight in the near future which ought to arouse the keenest of interest among the polo admirers will be that between "Pompadour' Sullivan and Kid Webster. The enmity between the two is caused scrib of Sullivan's, The boys have signed contracts and there will be a glorious fistic battle at the Quinnipiac rink within a few days
 The rumor that the Union prevailed at the rink the other evening needs contradiction. Two fouls were called during the first period but the referee when asked to decide how many there had been gave the occupants of the press box his word that he was effici- ent and that he had called three.

President Jordan of Leland Stanford, when all Is calm and peaceful, breaks into song, charging Walter Camp and Yale with almost everything except capital offenses, He states that Yale gives scholarships to men with ath- letic ability. This is falsehood, un- less those men stand high enough in their studies to warrant scholarship, and unless they need the financial aid. The only trouble about President Jor- dan is that he does not know what he Is taking about. Let him bring along the truth, for there is much similarity between Connecticut and Missouri.
