There is much said nowadays about the

palpahle reason for it? 1t stares one In

We are living romances. Nothing in the

marvellous phenomena of life that are

upon some classic and retires to the

departed. Realism, the actual fact. out

Yale Stands by Game.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. November l.
The death of Cadet Byrne of the West
Point eleven brought keen sorrow to Yale
men, especially to the coaches and play
ers. The latter had much praise for
Byrne's work In the Yale-Army game a
fortnight ago. OF his fine personal quail
ties and his splendid physique. 1t is
stated with authority that the accident
will bring no change in foot ball as
played at Yale. 1t is held that the death
of Cadet Byrne Is one OF those very I'M
fortunate accidents which are likely to
occur, and do occur. not only in foot
ball, but in every branch OF competitive
sport. The view is he'd at Yale that
foot ball is manly sport. and 1t is en-
couraged as such. Whatever hazards
there are in this game. as in other sports
which Yale promotes. are guarded
against. SO far as human efforts may. by
careful selection of players. systematic
training and physical oversight.
Walter Camp. head advisory coach in
foot ball. declined to comment upon the
accident, except to say that, as he did
not see the Harvard game Saturday, he
was not in a position to understand just
how Cadet Byrne was injured.

Navy Willing to Play
All Scheduled Games

ANNAPOLIS, Md, November 1.-The
telegram of Col. Scott. superintendent
of the West Point Military Academy, to
Supt. Bowyer Of the Naval Academy,
expressing the desire of West Point
to discontinue foot ball for the rest
of the season a result of the fatal
accident to Cadet Byrne in the game
with Harvard last Saturday, was re-
ceived by Capt Bowyer today. 1t was
referred by that official TO the executive
committee of the navy athletic associa-
ton for consideration and a recommend
alton to the superintendent.
This action followed a consultation over
the telephone between Capt. Bowyer and
the Navy Department at Washington. No
comment for publication could be obtained
beyond the brief announcement of the dis
position of Col. SCOTS telegram. The ex-
ecutive committee of the athletic aSsO-
citation will not meet until Wednesday.
Should West Point persist In it's stand
it naturally follows that this years game
between the two academies will be called
off. although 1t may be said that Navy is
willing to play. Neither the death of
Cadet Byrne nor the injury to Midship
man Wilson in a game here two weeks
ago will, IL Is said. have any effect upon
the continuance of the game at the Naval
Academy

The Naval Academy authorities made
up their minds several days ago that
even should death follow Wilson's in
juries the remaining games. including
that with West Point, would not be can
celed. Sorrow continues to be felt and
expressed at Annapolis, particularly
among navy people. over the death of
Cadet Byrne. but. 1t is pointed out, the
annals OF the academy show that more
