1898-Sandy Ferguson defeated Sid West in three rounds at Chelsea, Mass. This was Ferguson's first ring engagement, and marked the begin ming of pugilistic career which was full of promise, but which was blast ed by lack of proper training. John Ferguson was a native of Moncton. N. B., and stood six feet three inches. although he weighed considerably less than 200 pounds in his fighting prime. His first defeat was at the hands of Dick O'Brien, to whom he lost on a foul in Lewiston, Me-. in 1901. A little later he went to Eng land where he lost on foul to Kid Mccoy, the clever Hoosier, but knocked out Denver Ed Martin and several British boxers. In 1903 he fought Jack Johnson at Boston, and lost by only a narrow margin. He then fought draw with Gus Rohlin, and tackled Johnson again at Colma, Cal, losing the decision in twenty rounds. Sandy also fought draw with Sam Langford and whipped Joe Jeannette.
 1897-Tom Sharkey knocked out Joe Goddard in 9th round at San Francisco.
 19o1-Philadelphia Jack O'Brien defeated Frank Craig in seven rounds at London.

YALE QUARTERBACK,

Wilson DcHTi0us for Few Minutes
 From Kick in the Head.

New Haven, Nov. 1s.-The Yafs varsity had an hour of hard scrim- mage in the new bowl yesterday against the scrubs. The regulars won by a score of 12 to 0, but at the cost of several injuries. =
 Walden, right guard, had his left arm twisted across his back. The injury was extremely painful and if is not known just how serious it wtp prove. The arm is very sore, bdt may be all right again. Aleck Will son, the veteran quarterback, was kicked in the head and was d1iirious for some time, although he conxin- ued to play and the coaches were unaware of his condition until ar .terward.

 The defence of the regulafS against forward passes was not as good ss was expe&ed. The old plays were smothered, but several new ones which the scrubs tried worked and brought a total gain of sixty yards.
 Harold Pumpelly, whose droFLkiek against Princeton tied the score two years ago, reported at the field and kicked drop kicks for more than an hour. Out of twenty-five attempts he placed eighteen kicks over the bar. Whether or not he will be sent in to kick in the Harvard game ia doubtful, but there is a possibility.

LESSON FROM A GREAT GERMAN.

have always striven to learn some@
thing new, and when I found myself CONF
PEELED thereby to revise my former ideas
II have done so Immediately and havG'
prided myself on my action, for I always
place my country above myself. - Bis
marck.
Thus spoke the maker of modern
Germany" first chancellor of the
mighty German empire He was ai
man great in warfare and statecrafts
who converted Germany from COLI
lection of small, Earring kingdoms and
principalities into one of the greatest
powers Of modern times. He ruled em5
perors- greater than that, he ruled
himself. The extract from his writ
ings printed above proves that.
He was too great man to cherish a
mistaken idea. When he found that
one of his ideas was wrong he discard
ed it, as a good workman throws away
wornout tool.
! One of the most imperious of men,
ancient or modern-ask any middle
aged or old German who knows the
history of his country, for instance he
was not too proud to acknowledge him
self in the wrong.
| Why?
Because he always placed his coun-
try above himself.
| Read there the secret of the mans
success. Throughout his long life,
from the time he entered the service
of Prussia as a member of the diet
until the rising sun of Emperor, Will
liam H. dimmed his own glory, he serv-
ed his country, and served it well.
To each Of US in his own sphere
comes the time when we must ac-
knowledge that one or more Of our
ideas are wrong, that the notions we
have formed are i'll conceived
When that time comes let us do as
Bismarck did. Let us revise our for
mer ideas Immediately. Let us not
cling with the stubbornness of the lit
tie to false notions.
If he could give in, we can.
Not even the great general can af-
) ford to cucumber his army with a
mass of useless, dragging baggage
The great man as well as the little
must know what to leave behind
Dead weight that is carried uselessly
wears down the bearer more than live
weight which may be needed. 81
So it is with ideas. Each of III
marches to the battle with certai1
amount of mental baggage. Live lug
gage, ammunition for the fight, we d.
not feel, for we know that it Is pre-
cious stuff. But we must not I'LL ouI
mental knapsacks with the rubbish
we have picked up along the road. Il
will be in our way
Follow Bismarck's plan. When new
,, knowledge forces on you the cOnvic
ton that the old idea is wrong, let Il
take the place Of the old. Drop the
. Outworn stuff and forget it.
We are not all Bismarcks, OF course
But every one Of us can learn from
him.

was heard to observe in a growing
undertone to one of his fellows, well,
