Miss Smith Hostess to Embroidery
Club at Weekly Meeting

The members of the Embroidery
Club have every reason to remember
the delightful afternoon spent on Tues
day at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Hall, when Mrs. Halls niece, Miss
Helen Smith, of Virginia, who has
been spending the winter in Bryan
assumed the role of hostess. She has
by her lovable disposition and charm
ing manner won many lasting and true
friends.
The elegant Hall home was charm
ing with artistic decorations and the
atmosphere was sweet with the friend
ly spirit of welcome and good cheer.
For two hours the guests were very
busy with their handiwork, each mem
Der striving to finish some dainty
article Many ideas were exchanged
and some handsome work was dis.
played.
Prior to returning home the guests
we're refreshed with an elegant ice
course served with angel food and
maearoons.

they have been well trained in their
art. The pleasures of the guests were
manifested by the interested attention
and the liberal applause that followed
each number. The refreshments were
quite delicious, consisting of cream
served with angel food cake, each
plate made dainty with spray of
maiden-hair fern. The hostess was as
sisted in her duties by her mother
and sisters, Mesdames Sallie Thomas,
Hilsman Wilson and Jim Thomas.
When the appointed time for de-
parting came 1T seemed as if hours
had been seconds, and the guests were
warm in their praise of the afternoons
pleasures.
The programs were tied with pretty
pink bows, and were in the form of
little booklets, on the outside cover of
which was inscribed these beautiful
lines from Twelfth Night

questions to follow rapidly. On IN
winding the web each girl found on
the opposite end of her ribbon a pink
candied heart containing some pretty
sentiment Miss Corinne James found
on her heart the following verse,
which disclosed the secret to all:
"A Mr.. Elmer Russell
Has caused a dreadful hustle;
In a certain doctors home
Something has been doing
In the way of wooing-
For Lynn, in June, he will comet"
AS the verse was finished the giris
shOwered their true, good friend with
the rice contained in the bags Amid
joyous laughter, pleasant sallies and
ready repartee an hour quickly passed
that was truly delightful to every par
ticipant. A buffet luncheon, consisting
of chicken salad served in heart
shaped ramekins, heart-shaped sand
witches, crackers, pickles and iced tea,
was passed.

FAST, ACTIVE BACKS. Football Coaches Mapping Forward Passes to Suit Modification of Rules.

The coaches of the major college teams are making efforts to develop fast, actives sbackfields, with strong line to protect the backs in the execu- tion of intricate plays, says Walter EckersaH. It must be admitted that the most of the mentors are throwing into the discard the big lurnbersome backs who used to be in such 7emond when the ultimate makeup of team was considered. In fast, the same thing is true of the line, and unless a candidate possesses unnatural speed with the combination of strength and agility, his chances of making good' are few.
 The coaches already are taking ad- vantage of the change in the penalty for an incomp1eted forward pass, and there is every reason to believe the forward pass will be used more this season than it has at any time since the play was introduced. With the penalty calling for the ball to be put in play at the point of the preceding down instead of at the point of the pass, coaches and players are certain to take more liberties with the forward pass than they have at any time since the play was adopted.
 Under the old rule when a forward pass. was incompleted, the ball was brought back to the point of the pass and a penalty of down inflicted As there still remains rule which reads tndl d IOTWdTO pass must 'De mace from a point at least five yards back of the line of scrimmage, it is apparent that the penalization for an incomplet- ed forward pass will bring the bah back at least to 10 yards back of it's original position. As there is nothing to lose under the present rules, for the failure to complete a pass the coaches are taking advantage of every possibility within the rules to perfect plays, by which the forward pass will be successful. Another play coaches are enthusiastic over is to take away the quarterback from his original posi- tion and line him up on a parallel line with the backs. In doing away with the quarter it means the pass must be made directly from the center to the man who is to carry the ball, and the function of the quarterback is to be another cog in the interference In this connection it must be admitted the quarter lends less value to the play in that the different formations have not the deception that they would have if the ball were passed through ths hands of the quarter first and then was fed to some other member of tha team.

HARVARD'S DROP KICKER, Crimson Has a New Wonder, Better
 Than kennard.

Such drop kicker as Mi1holland has not appeared at Harvard in years, if ever, and this not forgetting Kennard, whose drop kick goal three seasons ago brought to the Crimsons camp it's one football victory over Yale in 8 decade. Milholland trotted out on the field Sat urday and with delightful eoolness took his place to make his try at goal. It was none too good pass that came back from center, but he shifted the ball in his hands without a sign of ner- vousness. Poised for an instant and then dropped, it seemed almost care lessly, the ball rose again and sped on it's way directly between the uprishts of the goal. goal would have been scored had Milhol1and stood 70 yards or 45 yards from the goal line instead of just outside the kiclSeut boundary, but there seemed no effort in the swing of his leg, and the splendid distance of the kick seemed due to the perfect leverage of the pendulum rather than to muscular power. What Gardiner and Milholland showed Saturday as indications of later value surely was enough for one day. Both men have all goes well, and if Hitchcock in whom there appears to be the makings CT another splendid forward, does as well at the start as these two class
 mates. last years freshman team will have done much to fiji in the gaps left by Mckay and Wilmington, besides furnishing Harvard with an invaluable scoring machine in Milholland, who as 8 goal kicker today stands as g. well nigh finished product, surely Boston Globe.

 THREE CHAMPIONSHIP MARKS
Best Batter, Base Runner and Run Getter-WonderfuI Showing by the Detroiter.

Ty Cobb. outfelder extraordinary of the Detroit team, has three more games left this season to add a few points to record that demonstrates him the greatest player of the age. Cobb possesses the distinction never before gained of creating three new records in the same campaign. He is the champion 5atter, base runner and run getter.
 His PAS base hits recorded up to last Saturday night shatters the all l-major league record of 243 made by Willie keeler with Baltimore in 1897, which has since stood a a target for all com CTS. Larry La joie, with 145 runs to his credit in the season of 1901 held the worlds record, but Cobb beat this by enc run when he crossed the plate for a score on Tuesday in the game against Cleveland. And lastly he has stolen S3 bases, which betters the rec ,1rd mark of Eddie Collins last season, who pilfered S1.
 Harry Stovey of the Athletics is giv- en credit for having stolen 15S bases in the season of 1888. and there is a minor league record of recent, date that is better than Collins figure of eighty-one, but it is generally con- ceded tha it is not so easy to steal bases in 1911 in the major leagues as it is in a minor league, or as it was in the year 1888 in a major league. Anyhow Collins eighty-one stolen bases of 1910 was the best record of the last ten seasons.

Brooklyn, Oct. 4-New York clinched the National league pennant by defeating Brooklyn today, to O.
 Should Chicago win all it's remaining games and the new champions lose all theirs, the New York team cannot be overhauled.
 The game today was pitchers duel between Matnewson and Fucker, the latter having been recalled from his wedding trip to pitch. He was to have been married on Oct. F. but the cere- nony was advanced to Sunday last.
 Rucker pitched as well as Mathew son, but two errors following a hit by Doyle in the fourth inning were re- sponsible for the winning tally.
 Fucker retired in the eighth to let Daley bat for him and the New Yorks scored their second run off knetzer in the ninth on Devore's single, a steal a wild pitch and an infield tap by SDodgrass. The game was further fea- tUred by a triple play in the ninth when, with Doyle on second and Snod- grass on first. Murray popped a fly to Stark. The hit and run play was un- der way and the runners were going full tilt. Stark tossed the ball to Dau- bert. doubling up Snodgrass. and the triple play was completed when Dau- bert threw to TooIey. mailing Doyle
