Carries Off Honors in Weekly

Ideal 'cross-country weather conditions

athletes that made up the fields In the

throughout the city yesterday.
Eddie Jordan, track captain OF the
Xavier Athletic Association, carried off
the honors of the Morningside Athletic
Club. in which twenty-five runners com
peted. Jordan sprinted ahead of the held

West Point. Dec 1.-The defeated Army
football team arrived home at 3:A5 o'clock
this afternoon, and. Notwithstanding the
players detection over the loss OF yes
terdays game to the Navy, the cadets
generally were enthusiastic over the
teams work. Five hundred of them,
headed by a band were at the station TO
meet the team, and they gave 1t rous-
ing cheer.
They proposed to haul the team up the
long hill from the station In stage
coach, to which a thousand feet OF rope
had been attached, but most of the play
ers were so depressed that they couid
not be induced to ride. Headed by big
Devore, their captain, they walked quietly
to quarters. They were all In splendid
physical condition and had no excuse 10
offer for their defeat, declaring that the
best team won.

lowed his pride for the love of Cornell
and acted as an assistant whereas he
had been head coach built up and de-
veoped set of forwards which did fun
justice to his teaching. and that Ray van
Orman, coach of the ends, brought out
mighty capable pair of ends in Butch
Eyrich and O'Hearn. who, in my opinion,
are worthy of consideration with the best

for Captain Eddie Butler, of Brooklyn,
who was on the side lines most OF the
season with a broken bone in his foot
and who came up to the last game in con-
dition to play so well. His punting can
be compared to that Of FELTON,. the Har-

condition in the past. No season has
been fraught with so many disappoint-

BETTER GAME THAN EVER
Cornell Eleven Proves It's Worth
Even in Defeat by Fight
ing Quakers.

Having seen Yale, Harvard, Princeton
Dartmouth, Cornell. West Point, Annapo-
lis and some of the smaller elevens III ac-
ton this fall, ! am more than WILING
TO put myself on record in saying that
football as now played under the re-
vised rules is a better game and pet
ter sport than at any time since "eH-
meant effort was made some seven Oh
eight years ago TO shear 1t OF plays
that opened the way TO serious accident
1t was no easy task 10 remooel inc

ures, and it Is not surprising that the eVo-
luton came only after much study anu
much experimenting. There is vast dil-
ference between theory and practice' anu
only by degrees was it possible for the
members of the rules committee to Work

the meeting of the rules committee TINS
winter would be love feast for the nrst
time in many years and that no changes
an the rules will be necessary except IN
minor details, which will amount TO ht'ie
more than editing.
The more important games played our
ing this season showed clearly mat
football is far more natural than in the
last two or three years; that a better
balance had been struck between the at
tack and the defence: that greater con-
tinuity exists, more so even than IN the
old DAYS of pushing and pulling with
only five yards TO 90 in four downs OF
three tries. and that an opportunity mas
been provided for a proper expression OF
offensive strength and the fulhlment OF
the true purpose of any sport-reward
for the better team. In my opinion there
6 no comparison between the game
played last year and this. The defence Is
no longer so strong as to be out of all
rroportion TO the attack. 1t is now pos
sible TO gain ground by straight rushing'
even when teams are evenly matcheo'
and to gain this ground as ready nslue

less bunting and drop kicking than

man. But these are better thai

them for you, and with these you

Oar men with wealth and influence
did not start with any cash capital.
They went to work with their pillow,

rub; you don't want to work. You
want money on credit so you can

you wear fine cloths, shoke cigars
and be gentleman of leisure.
Shame on you, young man! Go
to work with the capital you have
and you will soon make interest
enough upon it to give you as
much money as you need. If you
connot make money upon what
capital you have, you could not if
you had larger amount in cash.
