Fundamental Necessity.
One of the fundamental necessities
in a representative government such
as ours is to make certain that the
men to whom the people delegate
their power shall serve the people Dy
whom they are elected, and not the
special interests. l believe that every
national officer, elected or appointed.
should be forbidden to perform any
service or receive any compensation
directly or indirectly from interstate
CORPORATIONS; and a similar provision
could not fail to be useful within the
states.
The object of government is the
welfare of the people. The material
nrorress and prosperity of nation
are desirable chiefly so far as they
lead to the moral and material Wenare
of all good citizens. Just in proper
ton as the average man and woman

CELEBRATE THE
VICTORY WITH BIG BONFIRE

University, November 20.-(Special.)
The news of Alabama's victory over
Tulane yesterday, though by a small
margin, was received with Joy by the
students here. In anticipation of the
news all the waste lumber and boxes
around the university, in fact, whatever
would burn was heaped into big pile
on the quadrangle. AS soon as the
message of victory arrived, the match
was applied. and the rooters danced
around the flames singing and yelling.
1t was the first bonfire of the year and
it was a good one.
The scrap with Tulane presages well
for the crimson on turkey day. All sea-
son Lowman has been handicapped in
his coaching by one thing or another
In the first place, his material was
meagre. The majority of the timber
out of which he had to construct his
varsity was not only light but also
green and unseasoned. Yet that was
not ALL A hoodoo has seemed to hover
over the crimson camp all season. Four
men have gone out of the game with
broken collarbones, and Hurd. the only
experienced end, had to retire from the
Mississippi game with dislocated ell
bow. And only last week four or five
of the regulars were taken sick with
mild cases of grippe and had to go
very easy In practice. In fact. it was
half sick team that administered defeat
to Tulane yesterday.
However, In spite of all this, Low
mans lads will be In the best shape
ksgiving that they have known
all season. The defensive strength of

Thus taking the eleven regulars it
can be seen that the average of the
whole team is 1877 TIL pounds, the av-
erage for the line 170 ell pounds, and
that for backfield Ia pounds
This is a heavier team than that OF
1909 by a few pounds That it is a
better team is generally agreed. Van

This means that two way-up first-class
teams will meet Thanksgiving and the

Boston. November 20.-The college
football season which closes this week
has been one of surprises and uneN-
pected upsets among the big teams and
unlocked for strength by colleges that
have hitherto been regarded as weak.
The question of awarding the the
oretical championship Will probably
prove almost as fruitful a theme OF
discussion among the experts as that
of the equally theoretical all-American
eleven which newspaper and magazine
writer's like to figure out on paper and
on the makeup of which no two ever
agree. Most of the experts have post
poned the settlement of these two ques-
tions until the final games are played.
On Thanksgiving day Pennsylvania will
clash with Cornell at Philadelphia and
Brown will meet the Carlisle Indians at
Providence.

The Howard team has returned to Biz
mingham. 1t played the team of the
Mississippi A. and NJ. Friday afternoon,
and was defeated.
After the game nothing could be heard
of the result. The Associated Press
could get hold of nothing. No student
of Howard knew the result of the game
until today, when the team returned. The
alumni of Howard were completely In the
air, fearing that the squad might have
been lost in the bayous of Mississippi.
In order that no one might miss the
report of the game, The Age-Herald this
morning prints its belated story, deliv-
cred only today. It follows:
This afternoon Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical college ran up the largest
score that has been made against

ton team this year, when she beat How

quarters Agricultural and Mechanical

the entire scrub team played, and How
ard was able TO hold her own fairly well
against them, allowing them to make
only six points. Howard could not make

the line has shown wonderful improve
ment over its earlier form In the Sc
vance game the Tigers were able to do
but little with the line and had to rely
for gains upon end runs. And in the
scrap yesterday the fact that practi-
cally all the game was played in Tulane
territory sh ows strengthening not on
ly in defense but also in offense. Time
after time the Alabamians were ham
mering at the gates of the enemy's
citadel.
The team arrived home this after
noon at APO o'clock. Tomorrow and
next day they will put in time at
hard work in smoothing out the Of
Tense and looking after some defensive
formations Lowman has few plays OF
ground gaining worth that he has not
cut loose this season, and the drill
will be for the most part on these new
stunts. An effort will be made to get
them working so smoothly as is pos
shle in the fact of opposition.
The game to be pulled Off next
Thursday is the true climax of this sea-
son and the men will be tuned up to
the highest pitch. They are looking
forward to the fray and will put forth
whatever OF reserve force they have to
win. But win or lose, 1t is likely to
be the finest pgskin affair pulled Off

HARVARD'S ATTENTION TO
SCRUBS CAUSE OF SUCCESS

in the new game, and the coaches are
beginning to realize it now. The Prince
ton coaches discovered this first in their
game against Holy Cross. and immedi-
ately adopted a rather novel plan Tor
strengthening the forwards. The ends
had been letting the man with the ball
get past them, believing that either Pen
dleton, Hart or Sparks would down the
runner. Coach Roper remedied this fault
by making the line work without any
of the back field men doing defensive
work.
The result was that the ends began to
spread out and grab their man and the
tackler buckled in and broke up the
opposing teams interference.
The secondary defense in football Is
supposed to look after punts and grab
runners in case the forwards let the man
get away from them, but all great
teams of the past have seldom failed to
have their forwards break up the plays.
There is one man who has already
earned his seat on the All-American
eleven this season, and that is Sprack-
ling, the Brown quarterback. He is, with
out doubt, the greatest quarter or the
season among the elevens in the east,
and his work in the Yale game stamped
him as one of, If not the very greatest,
men who ever took a center's pass.
Sprackling is a wonderful ground-gain-
er. and since quarterback runs have been
allowed, has gained more for the Provi-
dence eleven than any two men on the
team He is a fast man, gets away
with the speed of bullet and even in
creases his pace when about TO De
tackled.
One of the great faults of many crack
backfield men is that they either stop
running entirely or slow up when about
to be downed. The man who does slow
up is always thrown back, whereas II
he continued or increased his pace at the
critical moment he would be able to gain
many yards with the tacklers arms
about him.
The little Brown quarterback knows the
game from A to u. and he has run the
Brown eleven in mastery style He Is
quick to learn the opponents weakness
and never fails to take advantage of
such. He is a good kicker and can hurl
a forward pass with great accuracy.
There appears to be no chance or Keep
ing him off the All-American eleven.

BROWNS QUARTER, sPRACKLING,
Is CONSIDERED THE GREATEST
QUARTER IN THE HISTORY OF
THE GAMEs-FOOTBALL GOSSIP

New York, November D.-Harvards
success on the gridron this fall is due to
the fact that special attention was paid
last season to substitutes. And Yales
downfall can be figured because she made
the great mistake of only half coach
ing her second string men year ago.
Since Percy Houghton took charge of
football at Harvard it has been noticed
that he seems to spend more time with
the second string men than he does with
the regulars. He works over them, shows
them the fine points of the game and
instead of keeping them on the side lines
during the games, makes them play.
Through this method of coaching
Haughton boasts that he, can replace any
regular by a second string man and not
weaken his team in the least. By that
he means that his substitutes are nearly
as good as the regulars. In the game
with Brown Harvard used almost entire
ly team of substitutes, and they put up
wonderful game. Against Cornell it
was the same.
When Harvard went to West Point
she had three elevens out practicing and
the experts were not sure which one was
the first eleven, all three of them ap-
pearing equally as fast and strong.
1t is altogether different at Yale. Last
season the big blue eleven was one of
the greatest that ever decorated a grid
iron, but the second and third elevens
did not equal schoolboy team. The
coaches did not look ahead did not figure
on this seasons team, and the result was
that only squad of say IS or 16 were
properly trained and developed.
In all her games this fall Captain Daily
has led a squad of at least 40 men
out on the gridiron, but all but dozen
or Is of them promptly ducked under
their blankets and never crawled out
again until sent into the game.
