Since then, from the arena to the ball

generally known that the ole Miss
has no football material this year
the game would hardly attract a
corporals guard.
I'VE don't care to bring football
devotees to Jackson under false pre-.
tenses," said Hon. William Heming-
ways secretary of the association,
this morning. Furthermore, the fac
ulty, or a majority of its members,
have sought to discredit our organi-
zation by declaring that we have aid
&c and abetted professionalism, and
former students of the University in
this city, among whom are many of
Mississippi's most distinguished citi-
zens, cannot consistently offer
their services in behalf of athletics
while this unjust, untrue and unwar-
ranted stigma is applied to u.s."
One deep grievance cherished by
the University Alumni Association
is against Drs. Nicoly. Bullitt and
Rhodes, the faculty committee on
athletics. The members declare that
these three faculty members had
nothing whatever to say on the sub
ject of professionalism from the
month of September last, year until
May of the present year; that the
team was organized in September,
and this committee must have been
in possession at that time of all the
facts with which they are now cog
infant; therefore, if there has been
any element of professionalism, which

players vehemently deny the three

the fact that the whole conditions we

AVIATOR KILLED IN
PRESENCE OF
THOUSANDS
CHARLES WALSH LOSES CON.
TRoL OF RIPLANE AND DAsHEs
1000 FEET TO DEATH.

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 4.-With $4,000
persons watching him at the Inter-
state Fair Grounds, yesterday after
noon, Charles Walsh, while making a
spiral descent in a biplaRe, fell 1000
feet to instant death about a quarter
of a mile outside the Fair grounds.
Practically every bone in his body was
broken and his face and body were
badly cut. Walsh had been giving
exhibitions at the fair all week and
yesterday for the first time was doing
fancy stunts in the air with his ma
chine. He was very high, probably
5000 feet, as he began his descent.
He was making the spiral descent
with the front of the machine pointed
almost straight downward, when he
lost control. Walsh could be seen
struggling to regain his balance, but
without avail. The machine then be-
gan its fatal descent to the earth and
the large number of spectators real
lied that the aviator's death was i'm
minent.
Wash was rs years of age and a ma
tive of San Diego, Cal. His wife and
two children are visiting at Ham,
mondsport, N. Y, where they intended
remaining while he was flying in the

Jackson, Oct. 4-Chancellor A. A
kincannon, of the University of Miss
issippi, reached Jackson this morning
to confer with officers and members
of the University Alumni Association
relative to the athletic muddle at the
institution that has stirred up all
sorts of trouble and dissention among
the student body.
The alumni association, because of
the disqualification of DR.. N. P. Stauf-
fer, the coach, and six players of the
1911 team on the charge of profess
sionalism, have refused to make any
arrangements whatsoever for the an
nual Thanksgiving game between Ole
Miss and the A. & NJ, which for the
last ten years, has been played in
this city.
The Thanksgiving game each year
attracts from 1900 to 5000 specta-
tors, and has enabled both teams to
wipe out all Indebtedness incurred
during the football season.
Members of the association declare
that they do not intend to have any
thing to do with the game, for the |
reason that they believe it will be

has been out on the practice field

FEELING THE PUBLIC PULSE.

Every four years the country at
large, and especially the political
leaders, engage in a pastime various
ly designated but which is often re-
ferred to as feeling the public
pulse"
The operation is supposed to re-
veal the state of mind of the average
citizen. SO the men who make and
unmake presidents can tell how said
average citizen will vote, and If he
is minded to vote wrong, how to
induce him to look at the matter
from the right angle.
Feeling the public pulse is done in
various ways. One way is the straw
vote. but as the average citizen
thinks himself a good bit of a wag,
he is likely to vote any old kind Of a
straw just for fun. So the straw
vote is proverbially unreliable as a
barometer to fortell the political
future.
Another method of feeling the
public pulse is to send presidential
possibility through the country.
sounding a keynote. But this does
not always enable the political doc
tors to give a safe diagnosis, for the
average citizen likes to make the
great man who Is Grating for him
feel good, and unless things are
mighty blue in that region, or an
attack of rheumatism or dyspepsia
sicklies DER his merry nature. he is
just as likely as not to whoop it
up as hard for one presidential pos
sibility as for another.
| Still another way to feel the public
pulse is to get the average citizen to
write his views to the Pro Bono
Publico column of his favorite news
paper; but the men who tell what
they really think generally seem to
be much in the minority when the
votes are counted.
After all, the only real way to fee
the public pulse is at the ballot box
but there, as at all post mortems
it's mighty little use for the subject
although 1t may benefit the living
someday. And that, where the re
call has been introduced and natural
lied, Is by no means final.
