LIVELY NOTES ON FOOTBALL
 AS BIG ELEVENS PLAY IT
BY W. S. FARNswORTH

when Barends had just missed try for ual method when the ball was within striking distance of the opponents goal to force it through the line.
 A little distance had been gained by Dartmouth, but not the touchdown. Or the second down Ingersoll tried an end run, but instead of closing behind his in terference and cutting through toward but two or three yards, sprinted the width of the field and really lost some distance. for he has tendency to run back as he runs wide.
 Time was up when he was tackled and stopped on the opposite side of the field | from where he started, and the ball was in the extreme southwest corner. | When the time between periods had changed the ball was placed in the same position in the extreme northeast corner of the gridiron.
 Although it was a very difficult task to kick field goal from placement at such an acute angle, the Dartmouth team. when the signal was given, de- ployed for a presumab ble try for goal The player who was to place the ball dropped on the ground in front of Barends. who had to take his position l close to the side line.
 | The Princeton players were quite com pletely deceived by the maneuvers. They extended their defense to block the kick | if possible, and to hold their line against any run which should be attempted fl Barends did not kick, but 1t was quite evident that they did not take into con sideration forward pass, for the Dart mouths left end. Cottrell, was permitted to advance where he was in position to catch the ball and to make a touchdown If he did catch 1t.
 | Barends performed his part perfectly. When the ball was snapped back to him | he passed 1t accurately oyer the Dart mouth left wing and over the Princeton right wing, but Cottrell, Hurried perhaps | by the importance of the situation and | by the fact that he had 1t in his power almost to tie the score, dropped the bal when 1t came to him.
 This was an instance wherein the for. ward pass showed most convincingly its possibilities as a ground-gaining maneu vre if the enemy can be caught mapping | Had Dartmouth tied the score with i l it would have been hailed as daring and brilliant bit of work on the part O the New Hampshire eleven.
 In the open field. however, where thu Iplayers are able to operate their defens' under less trying circumstances thai where the ball is in the shadow of thei goal, it has seemed easier this fall t' prevent the success of the forward pas than 1t has to gain ground with 1t. | The men who are eligible to receive tn pass are marked so closely that the de fense. if keen-eyed and alert, analyze the situation almost upon 'the momen that an effort is made to put the pla. Into execution Possibly that fact in ad dition to the latent hostility to the pla, on the part of some coaches, is one req
 son why it Is honored more by its in freouency than by it's commences.

San Francisco, November 12.-When Battling Nelson was beaten to a stand- still and relieved of his lightweight title by Ad Wolgast on Richmond Field a year or so ago, the Dane would not have it that that was the end of him as a champion.
 He said it was simply an off day, just @s it was an off night that other time when Jimmy Britt got the better of him at the Auditorien in San Francisco To make a long story short, the Bat tier threatened to take a rest and then show the public that he was good for many years as ruler of the profession ir the 13S-pound class.
 Nelson came back into the business couple of months ago. He began agitating for a return match with Vol xast, and in the meantime stated will 1.ngness to take on all corners.
 He was loudly lauded by the critics foi getting away with Monte Dale in four rounds at Kansas City and then he came on to San Francisco and took crack at Anton LaGrave, bruiser of n mediocre ability, who Is known to fame as the pride of Butchertown.
 The contest went the full 15 ronnds .and. what did it prove? Some of the critics declare that Nelson showed him. self to be as good as ever. Others think there was falling away and the writer is one of those who hold the latter opinion At the same time l do not lose sight of the fact that Nelson was out of class, so far weight, strength and size are concerned.
 TO begin with, what was Battling Nel- sons greatest asset? The answer is stamina
 In the affair with LaGrave he showed that his assmilatiVe qualities are still rnimpaired, but he certainly did not keep going in the tireless way that was the wonder of all who watched him and all who faced him in the days when he was still unconquered.
 He is always a clean-living fellow and careful trainer and any difference in his ability to maintain a full head oi steam cannot be attributed to faults oi rhis habits.
 Al least that is the way I look al if and after seeing Nelson start out al a breakneck clip, in several rounds. anc slow up perceptibly toward the end, came to the conclusion that he had lost fin measure, the natural endowment which made him the terror of the light weight class.
 In speaking in his own behalf, Ba nays that he does not think he wa trained as well as usual, and that h will do better next time l, for one. an willing to hold my final Judgment un

Claude Grdhdn1- White Has
 Longing For Redt
BY MANHATTAN

New York. November 13.-Claude Gra- ham, Whites demand for a second chance to win the Ryan prize for the aerial flight from Belmont park to Liberty island is regarded as the most extraordinary thing in the annual of sports. White, however is no sport. but business man solely He flies for money and that alone
 The unfortunate controversy growing out of the Belmont aviation tournament is the direct result of a defeated com petitors foolish, unsportsmanlike and grasping demand for permission to make a second try for the largest cash prize offered during the tournament
 The cry set up by White. the English operator of 1OO-horse power Blerot, be- cause, after being defeated by John B. Moissant, the American sportsman, who drove q similar machine of half the DOW CT, in the Statue of Liberty contest, ha was not permitted to try and try again until he had won the $10,0o0 prize. and the subsequent pronunciamento issued by Mir. Drexel in which he assumed to call the Aero Club of America to task for hav- ing awarded the prize to MT Moissant, are regarded as amazing.
 Who ever heard of permission being granted to the owner of defeated horse to run his entry second time for the purse?
 That, however. is the stand taken by White and those who are giving him their support in a vain attempt to add to his earnings
 The action of the Aero club in refus- ing to permit the Englishman to make a second attempt in itself affords suffi- cient evidence of fairness to satisfy all who possess even a semblance of sports manship in their makeup.
 That MT Drexel made public the letter he did Is regretted. for 1t will accom- plish no good.
 When the tempest is over the Graham White contingent will find it had not only acted unwisely and done more than all others combined to cripple the sport in which its members have taken so ac- tive part, but Graham-White will prob ably learn that his action, which culmi- mated in his challenge to race Mossant for $1o 900 will bar him from further com petition.
 Sportsmen in this and other Vi agree that the stand of the ltlE of America was just what it sh a tt been.

OLD FOLKS HOME
DEDICATED anew
German=Americans Hold May
Day Festival at the Alten-
helm in DimOnd

OAKLAND, May Thousands of
German-Americans, their friends and
relatives, took part today in the May
festival at the German Altenheim in
DinTond. The fete was made one of re-
joicing over the completion of the new
edifice, which takes the place of the
former building that was destroyed by
fire several years ago. With impress
sive ceremonies the new home was re-
dedicated to the philanthropic uses
which have made it one of the splen-
did institutions of the state.
The day was spent in merry making
and feasting, after the German GUS
tom. Colonel Theodore Gier presided
over the exercises.
Nearly 10000 were present and ad-
dresses were made by Mayor Frank X.
Mott of Oakland and President Benja-
min l. E. Wheeler of the University of
California.
Mayor Mott said in part:
Our congratulations are due to the
directors of the Altenheim and it's
members upon the restoration of this
home. It's splendid service in the care
of the aged and inf1rm places the AL
tenheim in the first rank. 1t is an in
stitution of which all of us may well
be proud, and l am sure that the peo-
pie of Oakland join with me in the
best of wishes for its continued pros
perity.
Every one who has lived according
to the best that is in him should be
provided for in old age and infirmity
This should be his right, and should
not be considered as a mere dispense
tion of charity. 1t is the hope of all
right thinking men that the care OF
the aged and infirm shall become a
proper charge of government, and that
the millions now spent upon armies
and navies shall be diverted to other
shall cease in the civilized world and
peace shall be the rightful inheritance
of mankind"
The program began at noon with an
overture by RitZauS orchestra and q
chorus by the Pacific saengerbund. DR.
Max Magnus and Max Schmidt deliv-
cred addresses. Solos were rendered by
Miss F. Muestorfer, G. Mann, H. Hack
field and Mrs. M. Leuders, and choral
number by the Pacific saengerbund
Adolph Won de Aue gave two recita-
tions, ''Das Herr am Rhein" and "Heute
ist Heut." preceding a humorous re-
cital by Conrad Mes.
A play was performed by r: Noban
NJ Dinau, E. Rother, M. Wiess and H
Deulewager, followed by a gymnastic
exhibition under the direction of E
Bercher, A. Pencil, Charles Sternbeck
and H. F. Stahl, members of the Oak
land and San Francisco turner clubs
The festival committee was composed
of DR.. Max Magnus, Louis Roesch and
L. S. Rose.
