table. holding aloft a tankard Of beer,
and exclaimed:
Now, let US drain a silent glass to
our dead master" All the jewellers rose

Yale's Athletic Revival.

Yale men are very much concerned over
the poor showing which their represent
atives in the major sports have made
within the last few years. The climax
came in 1911 and 1912, when Yale did not
have one Of the four major champion
ships There was time when Yale rare
ly failed to be ranked first in foot ball,
and frequently first also in track ath-
letics, base ball or rowing. Prominent
Yale graduates have come to the con-
clusion that Yale needs an overhauling
in practically all her sports. The at
tempt to get NJ. s. Sweeney to coach the
track team in place of John Mack whose
contract expires this year, is only one
instance of the movement to develop
winning teams. Mack has not been sue
cessful as a college track coach though
one year he worked Yale into second
place at the intercollegiate champion
ships
There seems to be some friction be-
tween two factions in foot ball. One
wishes to secure a graduate coach, who
has been out of Yale for a number Of
years, and who has demonstrated his
ability to develop winning teams. The
tenn of making each years captain head
coach for the succeeding year. Some of
the old-timers blame this policy for the
long string of gridiron defeats

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
REDUCED TO SCIENCE
Trunk Line Routes Are Sc
quence of Highway
Building.

Trunk line routes. both intercounty and
interstate are a natural sequence in the
astonishing multiplication Of highways
travel. In the mass Of correspondence
which Chairman George c. Diehl Of the
A. A. A. national good roads board Is re-
ceiving in connection with the federal aid
good roads convention to take place in
this city March 6 and there are many
letters which indicate nationwide recog-
milton of this fact in the progress Of the
movement all over the country.
State Highway Commissioner Sohier Of
Massachusetts,, a state wherein roads con-
struction and maintenance have been re-
duced to a science. frankly confesses that
he is very much interested in the federal
aid subject particularly in how the money
should be spent. Commissioner Sohier con-
tends that 1t Is absolutely essential THAT
the money should be spent upon q small
enough number of roads so that there will
be sufficient money available to make the
expenditure show for something and be
worth something. not only for one year.
but for reasonable series of years. l"
Referring to the roads which would come
under the head of national to be I'M

commissioner believes that the work
should be under control Of a representa-
tive of the national government and a
representative from the state, such selec-
ton of roads to be safeguarded from any

State Engineer Lea of South Dakota, a
state in which the roads question is Of
comparatively recent agitation, makes
this pertinent comment: Eve are max

therefore more reason for the association.
AS things now stand college men have
merely scratched the surface in their in
vestigations.
The convention brought to light a pc
culiar state of affairs in college basket
ball. This was that the college game is
losing interest because of the radical
difference in the rules under which 1t is
played from the professional game. The
professional rules have produced such an
improved game that the great majority
of the schoolboys have adopted them.
and as far as possible have attempted to
introduce the same tactics in college
basket ball. There are some persons
who think that the college game would
flourish very much more IL it adopted
the main features of the professional
game.

Clubbing Over Amateurism.

Harvard students have been very much
agitated over the rumor that the New
England A. A. L. intended to disqualify
Brickley, the famous Crimson foot ball
player and all-around athlete. from anna
teur sports on the ground that he had
professionalism himself. The only ground
for charges of professionalism against
Brickley was that he had accepted pay
ment as a newspaper correspondent and
likewise had been an agent for firm
of tailors in Boston.
AS a matter of fact neither of these
services constitutes a man a professional.
1t may be that Brickley owes both of
these positions in measure to his ath-
letic skill. 1t was because Of his great
reputation as a foot ball player that his
opinions in the shape of signed articles
were valuable. and likewise that his abil-
ity as an athlete made him ccessful
agent for the clothing firm.
There are some persons who maintain
that beca use Brickley was able to COM
mand a better income on account Of his
athletic skill he is just as much profess
SiOnal as the students who accept pay
ment for their base ball skill. This is
faulty logic and shows complete ignor-
ance of the reasons for making a distinc-
ton between the amateur and the profess
sional. The amateur is a man who in
dulges i'm athletics for the love of it:
the professional one who goes into ath-
or a livelihood. The natural conclusion
is that the man who makes a business of
athletics will become far more proficient
than the one who pursues athletics pure
ly as a recreation. What the amateur
wants is an even contest. The profess
sional wants to win and to make money
out of his victory. There cannot be an
even contest between the amateur and
the professional. Ii Brickley, an amateur
athlete, is abb. to make money in some
other profession on account of the repu-
taton he made in amateur athletics that
does not give him any advantage in a
game over some other amateur athlete.
The 1. c. A. A. A. A. has gone into this
matter very carefully and has ruled that
a man does not forfeit his amateur stand
ing by acting as newspaper correspondent
in athletics. and, of course. no one has any
jurisdiction over what he may do in
other fields of business so long as he
does not accept money for athletic COM
petition. Brickley is a poor student. and
in the opinion of the writer deserves
great credit for the manly way in which
he is earning his education. rather than
by attempting to earn 1t in an underhand

Some Deserted Boom Towns

Arizona Gazette: History abounds
with instances of ancient cities which
have been wiped out of existence eth
err by disasters or from some other
causes, and have become extinct. Even
within the memory of very many now
living examples of once important
cities of modern times, which have
been deserted, are to be found. Under
the stimulus of some great discovery
cities have grown up within short
time, only to be later deserted and
abandoned entirely.
The uncertainty of boom mining
camps is illustrated in the fate of
Rhyolite, New. Only six or seven years
ago it was full of life and activity
and its mines were yielding fabulous
riches. 1t had a population of from
5000 to 5000 and it's business streets
were lined with substantial brick
buildings, equipped with all the mod
ern appliances. The hotels and busi-
ness blocks still stand, but the only
occupants are the owl, the bat and the
lizard. The mines that once gave large
promise have petered out, the camp is
deserted, and after December Is the
postoffice will be discontinued and
mail for possible patrons will be di-
verted to Beatty. Rhyolite today is
as lifeless as the site of ancient
I Thebes.
I Rhyolite is not the only Nevada
town with pathetic history. Au-
rora was another prosperous mining
\ town in that state thirty or forty years
| ago, which furnished millions of dol
lars in gold and had a population of
1000 or 5000. It's mines petered out
and the town is deserted, and it is
told that one merchant locked up his
store with all the goods in it and
deserted it with the rest of the pop
ulation. Twenty years afterward a
Los Angeles man purchased the prop.
erty and found the merchandise still
intact, though slightly out of date and
musty.
| Pithole City, in Pennsylvania, fur
nishes another example of the rise and
fall of boom town. This was from
oil, though, and not from mining. Ir
1866 and 1866 it had population Of
from 10000 TO 10000, with $6O,O0(
opera house and hotels of the mos'
modern of that day. Twenty years
or perhaps less, thereafter it was
practically deserted, and has never
been rebuilt TO this day.
