HOLY CROSS is WEAK.
Yale Profits by Penalties Against
Opponents-Frequent
Fumbling.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, October 1O-Yale
beat Holy Cross this afternoon In foot
ball. Is to o. While the visitors were
able to hold Yale down to three scores,
at no time did they advance near enough
to Yale's goal line to endanger it. Holy
Cross suffered penalty for off-place play
frequently, and her fumbles at critical
times were costly Brides played right
halfback for Yale and was responsible
for one touchdown. In the second half
Murphy of Yale made a spectacular run
through the Holy Cross team. getting the
bail on punt and running it back thirty
five yards.

f. B. Eynon, jr., of the Columbia Golf
Club became the first golfer of his club
yesterday afternoon upon the course out
Brightwood way when he defeated E. p
Brooke of the Bannockburn Golf Club
after thirty-fou holes of strenuous golf
ing by up and 2 to play.
Both Eynon and Brooke are youngsters
at the golfing game. But 1t looks as
though the big people in golfdom will,
have to count upon these two young
Washingtonians when they enter into a
tournament.
Splendid drives they have made during
the tournament. The only thing they
have to learn Is to steady down at the
puts for good ones every time.
The work of Brooke was more closely
watched during the first two days of
the tournament. He seemed a sure win
teen But In the semi-fnals Eynon. it
could be seen, was coming strong.
Then in the finals he came stronger
and stronger. His drives did not lose
any OF their steam.
In the morning round he played great
golf-at times brilliant golf. Eddie Brooke
was not very far behind.
He was fighting for his place at the
head of the first sixteen. Eynon was
doing all in his power to wrench 1t from
].
Both were eager for the play Of the
afternoon. The large gallery which had
gathered to watch the close of the play
was greatly disappointed when the rain
began to drizZle. Raincoats were In order
The course became slow. Much of the
promised good play of the afternoon was
spoiled.
Those who did brave the elements and
follow the contestants in the first sixteen
seemed to forget that golfers were con-
testing in other events upon the course
SO intent were they in seeing the chief
contest decided. The gallery was equally
divided between Columbia and Bannock-
burn enthusiasts.
Carusi Seeks Shelter.
Eugene Carusi Of the greens committee
started over the course carrying an UNI
brella and without a raincoat. He stop
ped at the eighth green and went back to
the clubhouse.
One of the happiest thoughts of the
afternoon occurred when Eynon filled his
newly won cup with punch and asked all
of his friends at the clubhouse to drink
from 1t. And they responded with a WILL
Most of EN- had been travelling over the
course with him and were primed for Just
such a performance as raising a large
sized silver cup and playing the old oaken
bucket racket with it and champagne
punch.
The second round of the first sixteen
was started shortly before O'Clock.
Brooke made beauty drive to the left of
the first green. while his opponent drove
to the left and in the rough.

final contest. The real ideal Of
genuine amateur intercollegiate
sport for the honor of the school
and the pleasure of the contest will
then be attained.
But this move cannot be made by
any one college alone-Possibly not
by two colleges. Such move would
be almost suicidal for a single col
lege, since a college. primarily a
place of instruction, can do the
most good only by having the larg-
est number OF scholars it can ac-
commodate, and in these days 1T
cannot obtain those scholars, 1T
cannot grow as it ought, unless 1t
holds its own in athletics. This
might as well be recognized at once
as an axiom. No college, therefore,
ought TO put itself in a position
where It's influence may be retarded.
But if several colleges of the same
class agree upon sport for sport $
sake" all will start upon an equal
plane, and the exageration of ath-
letics will be cut down.

The Passing of a Myth.

Before the Bostonian Society this
week a paper was read on THE
Myth of Mary Chiffon The title is
bold, indeed, in view of the fact
that even generations not yet ma
tured have been taught that the
lady in question was the discOverer
of Plymouth Rock. The venerable
age TO which the myth attained be-
fore it's character became generally
known was due for the most part
10 the lax methods employed by the
writer's of popular history which
pot-boiling folks have a weakness
for sentimental traditions. being
also too lazy. or too incompetent TO
gather facts. Consequently, much
OF the stuff they have published is
fiction masquerading under the
name of history.
In the case of Mary Chiffon il is
plain that if they had taken the
trouble 10 look into reliable records

the apocryphal character of the
Plymouth Rock story. Not only was
the Chiffon woman not the first TO
land at Plymouth, but she was not
even a member Of the company that
reached the Plymouth shore on De-
cember 81, 1920, the anniversary Of
which is now celebrated as Fore
fathers Day. But Mary did land
eventually, and married John Wins
low, a brother of the governor,
and she and her husband came to
Boston after a time and bought, in
1867. the estate at the corner of
Spring lane and Devonshire street,
and when they died they were
buried in Kings Chapel burying
ground.
But the Mary Chiffon myth taught
10 school children until recently
we believe the spreading Of this
error has stopped-is only one of
many which patient and painstahng
writer's are exposing one by one,
and supplsnting with the truth that
is not only stranger but much live
lier than fiction.

Guide, Not Curb, Athletics.

"The exaggeration of athletic
sports in schools and colleges re-
mains a crying evil" says President
Eliot, of Harvard, in his annual re-
port, made public Friday, and DR..
Eliot then urges again that the
number of intercollegiate contests
be reduced TO two in each sport
during any one season.
But it is not the number of games
or the number Of sports that
touches the real foundation of this
school-athletic question. The larger
the number of sports that are cult
waited the better, since it opens up
fields for men of varying size,
strength, and inclination. The
number of contests is immaterial,
except in sport which puts heavy
strain on the participant.
The real remedy for the exagger-
alton of athletics-and exaggera-
ton undoubtedly does exist-can be
reached by an agreement among the
leading colleges to put sports back
again where they absolutely belong,
into the purely amateur, recreation
class. In other words, by providing
competent medical inspection and
careful physical training. so that the
boys may be in good condition for
their contests, and then eliminate
the training table, and all the cost
~ accomplishments that go today
with the games.
Let the boys go into sports ex-
actly as they have been going into
them when attending public schools,
and as they viii go into them when
they become business and profess
sional men. Wipe out everything
that savors of professional meth
DDS. Let the boys take up the sports
as a recreation, coached only by
their fellows, playing only on their
own grounds. In this way the ter
rife expenses viii be done away
with, and the admission fees, which
never belonged TO schoolboy sports
can be abolished. The boy viii
keep up his interest in sports, but
at the same time he viii get rid OF
the present tendency TO live and
breathe nothing but sports from
the day training begins until the

Three Measures, All Important.

The Times has been asked many
times of late, particularly by
members of Congress who Will have
to decide the fate of the pending
gas legislation, which of the three
measures before Congress is most
important; which is essential, and
which nOn-essential.
Those measures are:
l. Provision that gas must be sold
for public purposes in the District
at not over IS cents per 1000 feet;
passed the House practically unani-
mously. after considerable discus
/ sion
?. Bill to repeal the imitation sec
ton of the gas law of 1896; re-
ported unanimously 70 the House
by the District Committee.
3. Bill to reduce the price Of gas
for private consumption, at once, to
90 cents. It's report agreed upon
by House committee.
To say which Of these measures is
most important would not be easy
All of them ought TO become law
in order 10 accomplish logical set
Element of the gas questions pend
ing.
First in urgency. without doubt,
comes the measure 10 repeal the in
hation section. It is urgent because
procedure is already on foot to take
advantage Of the imitation privilege.
II the company's capitalization is
doubled, reduction Of prices will be
difficult or impossible.
! The measure to reduce the price
of gas to the District government is
/ important for this reason:
That it opens the way TO secure
determination Of a reasonable price
of gas, without possibly inficting
any injustice on any interest. The
House committee and the House
have decided that about 20 cents
would be a fair and safe price. If
that price is fixed by law for public
gas consumption. the gas company
NAV either enioin il as confiscatOTy,
or accept it without protest. If the
rate b. enjoined, there viii be a
judicial consideration of the whole
question of gas prices; witnesses
will nc hes I'd. and it will be decided
If this rate is remunerative. IF il
Is not. no harm viii be done the
gas company; if II is, then there
will be no doubt about the pro-
prietv. at the next session Of Con-
gress, of giving the general public
the same rate.
But. as everybody seems agreed
that there ought to be some meas
ure of immediate relief for over
charged private gas users, the prop
ositon TO reduce to 90 or IS cents,
which nobody doubts would be &C
cepted by the gas company and
would be compensatory, ought to
pass. The three measures would
thus
1. Assure against the stock-water-
ing Job being carried into effect.
2. Effect a large saving in the
price Of gas for public uses
3. Open the way to a judicial de-
termination whether IS cents is a
fair price for gas.
4. Provide, pending that determi-
nation, a measure of immediate re-
lief TO the public
Considering the whole situation
therefore, the friends of the move,
ment for public and private relief
believe that the three measures
ought all to become law at this ses
sion.
