HELP FOR SOCCER
Walter Camp Advances $50 to
Pay for Hotel Bills at
Ithaca.
QUEER STATE OF AFFAIRS
Major Sports Should Have Assisted
L. Il. Stoddard to Make Good
Deficit.

In addition to the $50 given by
Professor Beebe to pay. the carfare Of
the trip Of the Yale soccer team to
Ithaca to play Cornell, Walter Camp
has advanced s75 to pay the hotel ex-
penses. The s75 will be returned by
the financial union OF the team. Louis
r. Stoddard of this city has promised
to make good any Neficit remaining at
the end of the season.
That Professor Beebe, Mr.. Camp
and Mr.. Stoddard had to come to the
help of the soccer team In order that
1t might win the championship Seems
very strange. When the football as
ISOLATION cleans up thousands OF dol
lars on a championship game at Yale
field and when the baseball team in
June has big cash balance, 1t seems
that there should be no need Of 60
ing to professors and graduates for
money to pay the expenses of one of
the minor teams. Such condition OF
affairs would lead one who did not
know such was not the case to be-
lieve that athletics at Yale were run
| for the money there was In them and
that If team did not pay 1t did not
get any support Had not the soccer
team been winner II is doubtful II
1t would have received even the con-
sderation 1t did 1t is now up to the
financial union to make good Profess
sor Beebe's $3.50 and Mr.. Camps SIS.

BASEBALL GAME POSTPONED.
n. III. II. S. TO Play Alumni This After.
noon at Yale Field.

And II came to pass that on the A.
teenth day OF April In the year 1908,
the prophet Of the winds and the
storms again hath shown his might and
power to the enthusiastic followers OF
the Baseball Divinity" For. as oft be-
fore, his anger was told In the precipi-
tatlon of moisture from the Heavenly
Realms. Twice his anger hath mani
tested Itself in the history Of this years
high school baseball season, and be-
hold! He hath brought dlsmay and dis
appointment unto the said followers by
his said indisposition.
Once before when the high school
nine had been determined to utterly
wipe out the disgrace and slaughter OF
It's first defeat by combating with the
Inhabitants of the small district Of Pc
quots, their hopes had been shattered
For then 1t came about that the mighty
prophet smote and smote hard. and by
his shifting prevented the battle from
taking place and being recorded In the
annals of history yea. In real history.
Lo! Again doth he appear into the
high schools midst and again doth he
render them unable to play. This time
they had chosen n mighty foe, aye a,
much mightier foe. The former braves
of their illustrious abode of earning
the Alumni baseball contingent What
wonders would the high school players
have accomplished. Hath not one foe
already fallen beneath their mighty
battle axe! Comfort, Alumni, comfort.
Hath not the said powerful prophet
saved thee from a dreadful outcome?
Doth not his anger create Joy In thy
| bosoms since II was this fact that pre-
vented thee from coming under the
cruel hands of the high nine However,
scarcely audible murmurs are being
heard to the contrary.
List! The Alumni count among their
numbers great heroes in such warfare,
/ who have done numerous noble needs
on the greensward. Remembering their
| former victories and the condition OF
the high school team, they are thunder
Ing for their scalps They will-Peace!
oh, sons OF one housel Peace! Dost
thou desire to combat? Then bend thy
knees In supplication to the angry
weather prophet Bring offerings unto
his shrine. render up sacrifices unto his
altar, and thus only may his anger be
appeased, Then he will give unto thee
fair weather, so that thou may crossest
thy sticks In the near and happy flu
ture.
Today the postponed game will be
played.

so NEW WELLS FOR POOL
100000 Gallons Of Water Necessary
for Carnegie Swimming Tank.


for Carnegie Swimming Tank.
Tests for the water supply Of the
new swimming tank for which An
drew Carnegie gave $4,000 last year.
were made a few days ago in the gym
nasium yard and It is now assured
that enough water can be obtained
from wells there to I'LL the big tank.
The water supply Of the present swim
ming tank In the gymnasium comes
from 81 driven wells In the yard, but
the new pool, with Its dimensions OF
rs feet by 30 and an average OF seven
feet deep, will need three times a4
much water, or about 10000 gallons.
In order to keep the water supply
fresh most OF It must be changed dFi-

parts Of the yard 1t is estimated that
30 new wells will be necessary to- DO
the work. The contract for the pool

SHARPENING A PENCIL.
In This Act You May Read Mans
Character.

In This Act You May Read a Mans
Character.
No woman should marry man till
she has seen him sharpen lead pen
Gil She can tell by the way he does
it whether he is suited to her or not
Here are a few infallible rules for
her guidance in the matter:
The man who holds the point to-
ward him and close up against MS
shirt front is slow and likes to have
secrets Re is the kind Of man VINO,
when the dearest girl in the world
finds out that there are "others" ana
asks him who they are and what he
means by calling on them, will assume
an air of excessive dignity.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arms length and whites away at
it, hit or miss, is 1mpulslVe, Jolly,
good-natured and generous.
He who leaves a blunt point is dull
and plodding, and will never amount
to much He is really good natured,
but finds his chief pleasures in the
commonplace things of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high strung
and imaginative and subject to exu-
berant flights of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things in the higher re-
gions of business and art, and his
wife's greatest trouble will be to hold
~ TO VII nTnV0nf
flying off altogether on tangent.
The man who sharpens his pencil
all around smoothly and evenly, as
though it was planed off in an auto
matte sharpener, is systematic and
slow to anger, but he is so undertaking
from a fixed principle that he would
drive a woman with a sensitive tenn
permanent to distraction in less than
six months On the contrary, he who
jumps in and leaves the sharpened
wood as jagged as saw teeth around
the top has a nasty temper and will
spank the baby on the slightest provo
cation.
The man who doesn't stop to polish
the point of lead once the wood is cut
away has a streak of coarseness in his
nature
He who shaves off the lead till the
point is like a needle is refined, deli
cate and sensitive. He will not be
likely to accomplish so much as his
more common brother, but he will
never shock you, and is without doubt
a good man to tie to.-New York Press.
