1T GIVES SATISFACTION.
YaIe's New Formation Up to the
Expectation of the COACHES.


Expectation of the Coaches.
New Haven, Conn, Nov 12.-The
new formation of the Yale varsity
was given it's first try-out at the field
in a short scrimmage with the fresh
men team, and the result was up to
the expectations of the coaches. The
scrimmage was in secret. Three
touchdowns were made. The first
was made by Philbin, after a series of
line plunges, the second by Field, the
new full back, after a similar set of
plays, and the third by Tommy Lynn,
who took the ball on forward pass
from Bingham and made a short run
and a score. Lynn was playing end
in place of Coy and Bingham was
playing quarter back in place of Ford
Johnson. The playing of the varsity
was in general satisfactory. The
freshmen team is very strong and lost
nothing of it's power IN the game
against Princeton on Saturday. Saw
age tried several goals from the field,
but failed to score and the freshmen
were blanked.

Wins Decision in Six Round Boxing
Bout at PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia, Nov. 12.-Jack
O'Brien easily outpointed George Cole
in six rounds at the West End
Athletic club. 1t was a one-sided
match, the white man proving much
too clever for the colored fellow, and,
considering the difference in skill,
there was more clinching than was
called for. O'Brien seemed satisfied
to go along at an easy clip, always
outpointing Cole, but never trying to
stop him.
In the first round Cole was dropped
to the floor for the count, but O'Brien
did not seem to try to finish him.
O'Brien, while heavier than of old,

A Story of pr, McCosh.

When Matthew Arnold visited Prince ton on his lecturing tour Dr. McCosh particularly desired to have him attend morning chapel and see how a Prince ton undergraduate day began. Ae cordingly he haled MT. Arnold to chapel the next morning. Unfortu- nately, however, he had not considered what member of the faculty was sched- ulcd to preside at the exercises. and as it happened, the officiating professor that morning was the very last one likely to make q pleasing impression on critical visitor.
 pr. McCosh, as usual, rose to the oc casion. Thrusting MT. Arnold into a pew with the remark, Yell sit there" he strode down the aisle and up to the pulpit where the professor was nervously waiting. Then in rever berating stage whisper heard all over the chapel the good doctor said, with unmistakab!e emphasis: we have Mir Arnold here this morning Yell pick lively hymn-and pray short.' And he strode back totally unconscious of the discontinue of his colleague and the glee of the undergraduates. MT Arnold's face was expressionless.- Pittsburg Dispatch.

 We hear 8 great deal about the mod ssn girl developing manufacturers, inde pendence and losing her femininity. A great many people arc much alarmed because girls are not trained, as for merly. in womanly gentleness. It a . beautiful figure of speech to describe the feminine character as the ivy which clings to the masculine oak for support and in return covers and beau ddes its hideous knots and scars.
 But if the oak falls what becomes of the ivy7
 There Is too much of this Ivy clingine and beautifying Idea in training girls. They should be taught that if is just as necessary to be Independent. to be self supporting. as to be able to cling and beautify. In other words, they ought to be able to stand alone if the tree falls and not go down with it, Success Magazine.
