importance in that it brought about the complete subjugation of Western teams to the Eastern representatives.
 Only one other of these jars to the football world demands our attention, namely: Pennsylvania's victory over the Vests shining star, Michigan which, under the skillful hand of r. II. Yost, had for five years previous to last season. ran rough shod over all antagonists Mich igan's poor showing in general was due to the absence of football material on ac- count of graduation and disqualification of eight players of the 0o squad and the Western rule barring all freshmen from participation in any athletic contest. Their humiliating defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania in addition to the foregoing being made possible by the injury of Joe Curtis, captain and star player of the Michigan squad.
 Yale, Princeton, Harvard.
 The triumph of football in the East over the West having been accomplished through the Indians and Pennsylvania, little remains to be said about the mag nlflcent teams of Yale, Princeton and Harvard, all of which were a little be- yond their former standard. Foreseeing the great gain to be derived by the new rules, Yale and Princeton lost no time in introducing the new game, which they
  degree of efficiency On comparative scores and advantages gained in the YalePrinceton contest the former was chosen for a shade the better team.
 Hayard's season may be divided into two parts, the first being characterized by a development of straight football which near It's highest stage proved so powerful in gaining their decisive vic tory over the strong Indian team as to be pronounced the strongest attack ever re- Vealed by a Harvard eleven. This devel- opment had it's climax fin their contest with the Springfield Training School. Yale was barely able to defeat by two touehdowns during her effort to learn the new game.
 From the date of the Springfield game. Harvard set out to develop the new game In it's various phases but also they had put 1t off too long to use with any great advantage In their annual struggle with Yale Without a seasons drill in the new game they found themselves helpless to gain the ten yards required under the new rules against Elis strong defense. and the latter with far inferior set of individuals at her command, and with an entire seasons experience and trial with the new rules, were enabled to again win a decisive victory.

fact that in just five representative cities, namely, Richmond, Norfolk. Nashville. Atlanta and Birmingham, over 35, 000 of it's followers gathered together to witness Thanksgiving contests. Going to make up this total was over 10000 who wit messed Virginia's heroic struggle against the conquerers of Pennsylvania and Min nesota, while nearly 5000 enthusiasts went to see Sewanee make her noble effort 10 check the victorious march of Wander bllt.
 The style of play as shown last season in the South by successful teams differed greatly from that of previous years, mass play having been almost entirely elimi. mated by the effective ten-yard rule. The forward pass and "on side kick were used with great success throughout the season. Besides this particular feature many intricate plays and peculiar for nations were introduced. most effective among which was the spectacular mil itary formation, originated by Coach Pollard of the University of Alabama.
 The spirit with which the game was played last season in Dixie was made manifest by the fact that the third off cial appointed in the new rules to watch for foul play was almost entirely re- jected.
 Few injuries were recorded during the entire season. and practically none was heard of where the team was in charge of a competent coach.
 The committee appointed to select the strongest teams in the Southern associa- tion reported the first six as follows; Vanderbilt. Sewanee, Clemson, Texas Alabama and Georgia Techs
 No just complaint can be made to the selection of the first three for it Is well known that Nandy's standing In the South Is In d class by itself, and that while Clemson did not lose a single game on her schedule Sewanees record till she met Nandy was characterized by series of brilliant victories.
 The team sent out from Tuscaloosa was doubtless the equal of either Sewa- nee or Clemson after they had made their final collection of veterans. but on ae- count of their deficiency of big games with which to reveal their strength and 10 fill their engagement with Vanderbilt with a team seriously crippled, they were denied a better ranking.
 Among the teams making their appear ance in more recent years. none made such wonderful advance as did Howard and MaryVllle colleges the former SCOT ing 196 points to opponents 20 of regular games played. defeating Grant University 63-0; a team by the way which the Geor- gla Techs, under the tuteage of Heis- man, was barely able to administer defeat by three touchdowns.

The football season of 1906 marks a record of brilliant achievement by South ern teams at home and a commendable endeavor in foreign fields for high honors in the football world.
 The triumph of football in the East over that of the West was also fully ac- complished during the past season. A perusal of the following comparative scores, however little may be the value of such, will render the foregoing state- ment sef-evident.

 Why Indians Were Beaten.
 A few of the important reasons which brought about this marked difference in the playing strength of the representative teams in the different sections of the country naturally present themselves for a solution Walter Camp gives out a suggestion in an issue of the Outing that Vanderblts glorious victory oyer the In- dans was due to the fact that the latter travelled nearly 2O00 miles during the week this game was played but says nothing of their pilgrimage of over 125O miles to the athletic field in Minnesota. The red men, on the other hand, offered no excuse for their defeat, but acknowl- edged that they were outplayed by Van derbilt, which was also the unprejudieed opinion of such critics as Coaches Yost of Michigan and Heisman of Georgia Techs eye-wltnesses, and who are regarded as authorities on football in the middle West and South. There can be no doubt but that the result of the Vandy- Carlisle con test was the natural outcome of an op- portunity for one of the South's great teams to reveal it's strength against their supposed much superior rivals for did not the Virginia Techs in 1905 smother the Army by a 16 to score, team which had defeated Yale In their last contest and which held Harvard to a single touch down a week later?

MAY STRIKE FOR AIR.
Tenement Commission Employees Com
plain of Stuffy Quarters.

NEW YORK, May 3-Fourteen young
women copyists employed In the BROOKLYN
Office of the tenement house commission are
been laid down for their guidance and
also because Of the stuffy quarters in which
they work in one of the towers Of the
Temple Bar building, No. A Court street.
Yesterday the fourteen had reached such
state of indignation that several Of them
were for declaring strike. Three of the
girls were reprimanded ION Wednesday for
going out of the room for eight minutes
without permission. They say they were
compelled to leave the room to get a breath
of fresh air.
When the three returned they were in
formed, they say, that they would have
to make up the eight minutes after s
from until before the spring rush Of
work set in, and as they had consented
to work an additional hour to help the de-
partment out, the three decided that the
penalty of working eight minutes after 5
o'clock was an imposition. They promptly
informed the chief copyist that they wouiu
not work a minute after o'clock.
The three girls kept their word but when
they reached the office yesterday morning
they learned that a charge of insubordina-
ton had been made against them to W.
H. Abbott, who is in charge of the Brook
Ign branch of the commission. When Mr.
Abbott read the charges and learned of the
trouble that was brewing in the tower
above his Office he was in a grave guam
or say whether he would require the three
copytsts to work the extra eight minutes
If he does issue such an order the girls
declare there will be a strike.

The enforced retirement of state
official. Defeated by ~ to a. Line
up of anti-Hughes forces in the leg
islature.
ALBANY, N. Y, May 3.-with every in
dication pointing to the defeat Of Gov.
Hughes recommendation for the removal
Of Otto Kelsey as superintendent Of insur-
ance, the senate in session at a few min
utes before midnight last night began the
roll call.
There was at that time general agreement
among the leaders on both sides that there
would not be at most more than twenty
four votes Of the necessary twenty-six for
removal Most Of the speculation allowed
that side but twenty-five or twenty-three.
1t was expected that there would be TWEEN
ty-seven or twenty-eight votes against re-
moval.
Bitter was the long debate on both sides,
with ex-Judge Edward w. Hatch, counsel
for Kelsey, starting off the fight by an
argument in favor of his retention.
Judge Hatch's Argument.
From II 80 o'clock in the forenoon, when
ex-Judge Hatch began his two-hour argu-
ment in Kelsey's behalf, an air of suppress
ed excitement pervaded the senate chamber.
The space behind the forum rails was filled
with spectators, and the galleries were
crowded.
For the first time in many years applause
was heard in the senator chamber. Senator
White of Syracuse, after an appeal in KEEL
sey's behalf in the afternoon session, was
applauded by the old guard. The other
demonstrations started In the galleries while
Senator Armstrong was speaking for the
governors side of the contention. Senator
Raines, who was not willing to have any
demonstration of approval for one Of KEEL
sey's opponents, quickly arose in his seat
to ask question. That was enough to
quell the demonstration. At the end Of
Senator Armstrong; speech, when another
demonstration was getting under way,
Senator Grady jumped to his feet with the
same dampening effect on the gallery en-
thusiasm.
Senators Raines, Grady and McCarren
acted in concert throughout the day. 1t
and the Grady republicans" A majority
of the republican senators who can be
pulled with strings by the leaders were
receiving kilograms and long distance tele-
phone calls at frequent intervals. Through
out the day there was the most remark
able fluctuation in the tide Of sentiment
among the senator's. Now one, now an
other important member Of the upper
ton.
Only One Absentee.
Only one senator was absent. This was
Senator Emerson of Warren county, who
has been regarded as doubtful" Press
ing business had been given as his reason
for staying away on a day when it would
have been necessary for him to come out
into the open.
Senator SAKE of New York received a
message early in the morning summoning
him to the city on account Of a death in
Ia fQ Rl1f on So nod
to remain until his vote in support of the
governors recommendation for Kelsey's re-
moval had been cast.
1t was 11:25 o'clock before the senate
