FOOT BALL.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

''The greatest unifying force in Amer
lean university ife.' and .'the most in
tensely popular OF intercollegiate sports in
this country" are complimentary charac-
terizations of foot ball ascrihed to edu-
Gators and to students Of the game
Because Of the inferior article, as conf
pared with the professional standard,
base ball never has appealed especially to
the American collegian. and in some in
stitutions the interest in base ball drop
ped to such an extent that 1t was deemed
inadvisable to have teams on the dia-
mond. Field and track athletics, rowing
and other sports have their followers, but
no other branch has ever appealed so
strongly to the young students as the
game that is now enjoying another sea-
son Of success. ~
Foot ball was originally introduced into
Britain by the Romans and was first dis
tinctly mentioned in 1175 Shakespeare
refers to II in king. Lear" and one of
the orders OF King James was From
this court I debarre all rough and violent
exercises. as the foot ball, meeter for

thereof" -
Despite. such ofdsrs,- oft-repeated,. foot
ball became the game of the schoolboys
of England. at Rugby. Eton and other
schools. For many years the game was
in such a crude form that there were dis
tinctive rules for each separate institu-
ton. Realizing. however. the necessity
of uniform set OF regulations the clubs
OF London in the middle OF the: last cen-
tury sent representatives to meeting at
which the regulations were codified, and

the New York National League ball club
It required the efforts Of the army and
navy officials at Washington to avert a
breach this year, and in going to New
York the midshipmen made concessions to
the cadets. The Annapolis people OBJ
jected to New York because of the added
distance from their barracks, and it is
pretty generally understood that when the
question of the game is taken up next
year navy will insist upon it being played
at Washington.
Columbia is one of the few large uni
versities in the country that does not

most novel teams In the country are the
ones representing the Carlisle Indian
School and -0allaudet College, in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The former is COM

style Of play has been SO successful that
it has been readily copied by other teams.
One of the longest runs on record-1O5
yards-was made by Charles Dillon of

this country was at the Harvard-Dart-

The crowds at the other so-called

HUERTh ELIMINATED
 ADMINISTRATION SAYS
First Step Toward Accomplishment of Mexican Peace.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON. Sept. 4.-The pres ident and Secretary Bryan have adopted the attitude that the elint- nation of Huerta from the presiden- tial race in Mexico is assured and that the first step in the establish ment of peace in Mexico has been accomplished.
 This authoritative declaration was made today by administration off cials who also let it be known that oral assurances had been given Nel- son O'Shaughnessy, charge d'affaires of the American embassy, that it is Huerta's intention not to be a candi date at the approaching elections.
 That the United States will con- strue literally the argument in the second note of Frederick Gamboa, the Mexican minister of foreign af- fairs, who pointed out at great length that the provisional president of Mexico is ineligible to succeed himself.
 That any effort on the part of Huerta to circumvent the constitu- ton by resigning in advance of the elections in favor of another provi- sionaI president will be regarded by the United States as a breach of faith before the world.
 The Washington government did not disclose exactly the nature of the oral assurances given Charge ] 'Shaughnessy within the last few days that Huerta did not intend to run for the presidency Intimations ] of this character. however, had come | to the administration from other sources-Ambassado Henry Lane i Wilson on his return from Mexico 1 City having informed the senate com mittee on foreign relations that Huerta had assured him he would
 not be a candidate.

 Like other keys or banks guard ing the sound, OcracOke is low and sandy. The inhabitants are known along the coast as "bankers," mostly small fishermen. The island offers no protection from the clements, either through big trees or promon- tories.
 Morehead City, Beaufort, Newborn, Washington, BayborO. Bell Haven and dozens of other small towns on the coast are reported as having suf- fered great loss from the fury of the gale.
