wandered to the hotel, Tom,
And stood before the bar,
Called for glass of lemonade
And smoked bad cigar.
No one was there to greet me. Tom,
And few we're left to know
When We were on the turf
Some twenty years ago.
The barkeeper is a younger man,
The one who used to sell
Corrosive tanglefoot then
Is roasting now in-well
The other wears diamond stud,
His hair is combed quite low,
And looks just like the one we
Knew some twenty years ago.
Old soaks called for booze, Tom,
With the same old grin,
While others burned their threats
With what / think was gin.
And women stood beside the door,
Their faces beamed with woe,
And wept just as they used to do
Some twenty years ago.
/ asked about old time friends,
Those cherished sporty men,
Some were in the poor, house, Tom,
And some were in the pen.
The one we liked the best, Tom,
The hangman laid him low;
The world is much the same. dear
Tom, as twenty years ago.
| asked about that wealthy chap
Who'd never drink alone
And always claimed that he for one,
Could always hold his own,
He persisted with the jim-jams Out
In the cold and snow.
All! Few survive who used to booze,
Some twenty years ago.
New crowds lined up against the bar
And called for crimson ink;
New hands are trembling as they pou
The stuff they oughtn't drink.
But the same old watchword rings
IT'S rounds on me you know,
The same old cry of doom we heard
Some twenty years ago.
l wandered to the churchyard, Tom,
And there saw the graves,
Of those who used to drown themselve
In red fermented waves,
And there were women sleeping
Where grass and daises grow,
Who wept, and died of broken hearts,
Some twenty years ago.
And there were graves where chlldre
Slept, have slept for many a year,
Forgetful of the woes,that marked thei
Fitful sojourn here,
And meath tall white monument i
Death there lieth low,
The man who used.to sell the booze

CORNELL MEN ARE PLEASED
Satisfaction Pervades Dinner at
Which Players Break Training.
BY Telegraph TO The Tribune

Philadelphia, Nov. 24.-As a fitting finale
TO the season of football. the Cornell squad
broke training at banquet this evening.
The players who fought against PennsyI-
Vanid this afternoon are in good condition
and carry no more severe marks OF battle
than a few bruises The attitude of the
Cornell men IN town as well as that Of the
team. especially at the dinner tonight, is
one of satisfaction. for while the advent
into the Quaker town was accompanied by
d high degree of confidence, yet the defeat
is less singing in view of the sterling
qualities manifested If The playing.
AS he was about TO enter the banquet hall
this evening, Daniel \. Reed, who headed
the coaching staff in Ithaca this fall. said
that the game was a satisfying climax 10
the season. although the score was not
one which would have been anticipated by
one closely ii touch with the team durincr
the last TWO weeks OF training
We accepted the new rules laid down
by the committee this fall. said Mr. Reed
and II Is sufficient 10 say tndt we made,
every effort to train our men TO use them
10 the best advantage. The game to-day
was combination OF old-fashioned footbai il
lnterspersed with new plays. The rules to
me are satisfactory and feel that the
team enjoyed adapting itself TO them. The
team played up to It's ability. and while I
do not attribute 10 luck any part Of the
contest. yet / cannot believe that the score
is indicative OF CornellS full strength
Acting Captain Robb had little To say
this evening, but expressed deep regret that
the game was his last Is a cornell man

The team will lose few players this wear
