HE RlLED GLADSTONE.
And II Was the Only Time Disrae'i
Lauohed In the Commons.

Laughed In the Commons.
Disraeli, It is said, laughed only once
In the house of commons. Mr.. Glad
stone had made an impassioned speech
in favor of the union of Wallachia and
Moldavia. Mr.. Disraell. speaking in
opposition, pointed out that the result
would be the extinction Of the indie
bendence of these people. and the only
thing left would be the remorse (which
would be painted with admirable elo-
quence by the rhctoriclan of the day.
In reply Mr.. Gladstone said that he
would not be guilty of the affected
modesty OF pretending TO be ignorant
that that designation "the rhetorician
of the day" was intended for himself.
Mr.. Dlsraell interrupted with the re-
mark: Il beg your pardon. l really
did not mean that" Disraeli sat down
with satisfied smile that told of his
enjoyment.
Mr.. Gladstone's face expressed
amazement and indignation. His OPP
ponent had placed him in the mortify-
ing position Of applying a remark to
himself which had no such personal
reference. therefore Gladstone's wrath
and Disracli's smile. The Liberal lead
er proceeded with his speech and con-
demned the "sesquipedalian words and
Inflated language" of the leader Of the
Conservatives.

$ Three Western Players Dropped Eve Of Business Game
NAVY COACHES To
PREPARE FOR ARMY
No Special Plans viii Be Made
For Any Other Games on
This Years Schedule.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Oct, 23-wbiIe the
Naval Academy coaches hope that the
team will win Saturdays game against
Western Reserve and the balance of
the games on the schedule before the
final contest. no special preparation will
be made for any of these contests. all
efforts being centered on bringing the
team to its highest efficiency for the
Army game. While every effort has
been made to, promote the regular de-
velopment Of the team. the uncertainty
in regard to the playing of the Army
game has probably had the effect of
causing some departure from the usual
other games, the hardest of which have
come early on the Navy schedule.
This week has marked an epoch In
the midshipmen's season, for the
coaches have made it known that they
are not at all satisfied with the work
of large number of those players who
have been considered regular, and have
made many changes in the lineup. An
other important move Is that Of secur-
ing the services of one or two leading
college players. If the Army game had
not been secured. it Is probable that
the Navy would have got along with
former players, but negotiations are
now going on with several college
stars 1t is not to be expected that any
marked improvement in the team VIII
be manifest on Saturday, but by the
following week, with the North Caro-
lima Aggies as opponents, the midship-
men should be going right If there Is
to be much going in them this season.

feat Dartmouth tomorrow In the new

almost wholly upon speed. Three sets
Of ends and two sets of backs will be

for today, the coaches being satisfied
with the outlook.
Only one place Is in doubt, Moore

endine is putting in the best players

A large number of students accom-
panied the football squad to the Union
Station, giving them a royal send-off.
Those making the trip to Pittsburgh
were Coach Albert A. Exendine, Physi-
cal Director John D. O'Reilly, Gradu-
O'Boyle. Assistant Manager Butler, for
mer Manager Ed Barrett. Jack Conroy,
manager of the Georgetown Press Club

ing players: Captain Murray. Foley
Ium, ConwelI, Daily, Barron, Ward
Gormley, Mccarthy. Pauxtis. Cusack
Campbell. Corcoran. Kelly. Riordan.
For this big game Coach Exendine

tackle. GSrmiey; right en-. end. Pauxtis
Kelly; right halfback, Captain Murray

PetritZ Is playing his first contest this
season, but Physical Director John D.
OReilly says that the 1913 star forward
is in good enough condition to hold his
own. His appearance in the lineup
allows McKenna to be brought behind
the line. The latter is one of the best
defensive players at Georgetown and.

On the eve of its engagement with
Business in the second high school
championship football game, Western
is dealt a heavy blow in having no
less than three of its strongest players
set down and out for the contest In
meeting Business today at Vigilant
Park, Western loses Captain Giblin,
Peck and Hume.
These youngsters expected to remove
conditions standing from last June, but
have failed to come through. The Red
and White is Offering no alibis and
believes it has an excellent chance Of
defeating the Orange and Blue.
AS the Red and White 5ackfield is
intact it is thought that the substitute
players in the line will hs able to
carry the team through. Business is
known to have an excellent offensive
team and while the Westerners believe
they have a good line on the Stenog-
raphers, the latter have shown their
ability to stop every team they have
been pitted against.
The Business backfield is as evenly
balanced as any in the series in the
opinion OF those who have closely fol-
lowed the elevens. Ray and Buck Wise,
Keech and Culligan form a scoring
Western is offsetting these men with
variety OF plays calculated to try out
the Business defense from all angles.
On account of the fact that Referee
Paul Magoffin is called by central board
appointment to Georgia to referee the
GeOrgia-North Carolina contest to-
morrow. Fred Crafts will handle the
game today. Magoffin stipulated that
he would be out of the series for this
contest and Crafts was agreed upon.
The new referee is a central board
man with wealth Of experience and
is known to be a stickler.
In the absence of Captain Giblin,
Johnny Mackall, Westerns left end, is
captain of the eleven today. Business
has been without the services of Joe
Wise. its captain, ever since the big
tackle broke his collar bone, and Ray
Wise is acting captain.
Those who like the open game will
probably get their Ill today as both
teams have promised to break prece-
dent and open up the play. Cuthbert
Farmer Will umpire the game, while
Hunter Mcguire will act as head lines
man.

Bender secuted the idea that he was

stands that he is to be offered a new
contract that will keep him in the game
as long as he desires to stay
There is no reason to the best of my
knowledge why j should quit" added
the Indian twirler. which statement he
Dunctuated with loud laugh that con-
Veyed to the most skeptical listener that
be would be back with the Mackmen.
Connie Mack says he does not believe
that Bender will quit until forced to
do so by failing powers.
