lJEFF A COWARD. SAYS cHoYNsk,

JOE CHOYNSKI is quoted in a story
 now going the rounds of the couns- try as speaking in a decidedly sighting fashion of Jim Jeff .cs. First of all, Joe mora1izes on the decadence of the fistic game, declaring that boxing is a lost art. He brands Willard as F joke champion, who could not have stood four rounds before any of the mixers of the old school.
 Then he pays his respects to Jeffries, and in this wise:
 "Jeffries was in perfect condition at Reno and should have licked a dozen Johnsons. He was trained to the min ute, and all that talh about his being doped is bosh. Jeffries simply quit like g dog. He was afraid of the. big black fellow and would not fight him. Fight CTS are born, and all great fighters fought because they loved the game. The exception was Jeffr1es. He fought because he was an artificial fighter. He liked money, and in the years he rested the little spark of fighting spirit he did have died. When he faced Johnson he was as helpless as a baby, because his nerve had left him and he stood, one of the biggest towards ever to enter the ring

Dendicitis last year it seemed the sys- tenn was about to collapse. Penn State and Washington and Jefferson both came within an ace of trailing Harvard in the dust.
 The req son the crimson rallied and did not fail was because of one man. It was because of him that Haughton is enabled to go on this year with the Brickley system of play unchanged. His name is Mahan-Eddie Mahan. He is captain of the Harvard team of 1915. There are many experts who believe that Eddie Mahan is 8 better football player than Charley Brickley evef was. They say Mahan does everything that Brick1ey ever did practically as well as Charley, and does several things inn measurably better.
 Two facts were brought to mind re- gently at Cambridge when viewing Harvard playing against the University of Virginia. The first of these was that Haughton 7 has built this year he did around BrickIey. The second was that today Mahan is greater than Brick1ey was at his best.
 In the husky southerner the crimson met a formidable rival, but at the same time a poorly balanced one. The Dixie boys had inpregnable line when danger threatened. In tackle (Thur-
 
 ity. But the Virginians were utterly devoid of the senbIance of an attack Remember how the Houghton elev- ems of 1912, 1913 and 1914 would punt and punt and punt, then suddenly start an attack that would carry all before it in the center of the field. As it neared the ener1y's goal posts it would hzzle out altogether. Why attack? ? There was Brickley! So Charles the Great would go back to the fifteen, twenty. twenty-f1v thirty, thirty five or forty yard line and kick goal from the field.
 Eddie Mahan has taken up the white mans burden where Brickley laid 1t down. The two years he played with Brickley Eddie was perfectly capable of relieving Charley of much of the burden. But Brickley assumed it all until stricken last year.
 The crimson backs swing around the end and jam through the line for five | and ten yards at clip from the center ] of the field to the twenty yard line. | Then there is a halt. Where's Mahan ? i Good old Eddie! Why, a touchdown! Eddie will kick a goal from the field, l just as Charley Brickley used to.

REAL SKILL IS BEHIND STROKES
 OF FORTUNE IN FOOTBALL GAME

Williams contests last season are g1ar- ing examples.
 Some years ago Princeton developed a supersp ecialist in it's speciality of taking advantage of the breaks. He was Sam White, who, through his abil- ity to see a loose ball, pick 1t up and run for a touchdown, defeated both Yale and Harvard in 1911. Whites dashes for scores from funbles were not mere luck. They could not even be c1assed under breaks of the game g They were football masterpieces begot- ten of the highest skill.
 Whites big asset, possessed by about one player in a thousand, was his ablI : ity to pick up ball on the bound while he was running at top speed. Those who have tried know how diff fleult it is to get hold of the elusive pigsxin when it begins it's uneven ca reer on the turf However, White so perfected himself in that art that un- failingly he could, going at full speed, pick up the ball instead of having to obey the time honored instructions to fall on the ball when you see 1t Ioose.'
 White very early in his varsity ex- perience realized that the chances for scoring from 8 tumble were very great if a player could get hold of the bound : ing ball. He then set to work develop ing his ability. He worked all by him self on dry fields, on wet fields, in the bright sunlight and in the twilight He even went as far as to soak the ball in order to be able to handle the slip pery pfgskin, and he mastered it all too. Certainly that wasn't luck"

RUGBY DOOMED IN AMERICA

A S a leading branch of intercoIIegiate
 sport the game of Rugby appears to be doomed on the Pacific coast it's only stronghold in this country. The deathl1nell of the. English game on this side of the water was practically sounded during the past summer when the University of California broke off athletic relations with Stamford uni versity and the former turned back to the American form Of play
 The action of these colleges came about presumably over the question of admitting freshmen to- the athletic teams. Stanford held out for playfmR freshmen. All efforts of faculties graduates and dfsinterested parties have so far failed to bring the colleges together so that a Rugby game could be played this fall.
 Following the action of the Univer- sity of California, many high schools in all parts of the state, and especially in the south, have turned back to the American game. Rugby is declared ab- solutely dead in southern California. There the University of Southern Cali fornia discarded Rugby last year. and

BASEBALL NOT A FAMILY TRAIT.

 A N interesting question for baseball A fans to discuss in their leisure mo- rnents away from the ball grounds is the seeming iEnpossibility of two broth CTS attaining great success on the dia- mond at the same time. While there are in baseball this season three sets of brothers who are possessed of con- siderable ability--Biu Killifer of the Philadelphia Nationals and Wade KiEf- fer of the Cincinnati Reds; Wally Schang of the Athletics and Robbie Schang with the New York Giants; Fritz Maisel and George, who is a sen sation in the New York State league af1d who will get a trial with Detroit next year. family failures have been more numerous.
 Ty Cobb's brother Paul Is only a fair minor leaguer Christy Mathewson's s brother Hank couldn't make go of it; neither could Roger Bresnahan's brother Joey Johnny Evers' brother Joe is a minor leaguer, and so is Ed Groh a brother of Hcinte of the Cincinnati Reds. Vean Gregg's younger brother was tried by Cleveland and sent back. Ed Walsh's brother looked good for a time, then went to the bushes. The same thing happened to Harry Cam nttz, a brother of Howard, who start ed with Pittsburgh. George Tyler, the Boston Brave left handler, had a broth CT who was tried by Boston as a catch CT and sent back.

her example has been followed by nearly every school and club teara.
 Stanford university stands alone as the survivor in the attempt to maintain Rugby. At the university the faculty is determined that Anne -ican football shall never be resumed. Leading stu dents assert that even if the student body demanded the American game the authorities would not permit it, so strong have they been prejudiced against that style of play
 The resumption of the American football game on the Pacific coast and the bringing of eastern competition to thaN> territory will bind the east and west more closely. The Pacific coast colleges which are going back to the American game cannot, of course, ex- pect to draw eastern competition the first year of play, but with two or three years development hope to be able to furnish competition worthy of the east ern teams.

THERE is an ever growing proneness
 under the new rules in football to at tribute too much to what is termed luck. Victories due, as was Harvard's over the Massachusetts Aggies recent 1y. to an intercepted forward pass in the final moments of play are too often ascribed to mere good fortune The query presents itself, Is there really, any such thing as luck in. football?
 To him who battles on the gridiron the word luck, as applied to the breaks of the game,' is base misnomer. In nfnety-nine cases out of a hundred it is skill that makes the most out of a sudden break, a tumble, an intercepted pass. To the oEIooker it appears like the easiest thing in the world for a runner to make forty or fifty yards to the goal line after intercepting a pass and nobody to stop him. but the close follower of the game knows better.
 In the first place, it isn't the least difficult thing to get one's hands on a football intended for one of the other eleven fellows against whom the team is fighting. But once the player has intercepted the pass or picked up the tumble the fine work of the coaches comes in. The players are taught that just as soon as one of those breaks of the gan1e'' pops up every man is to sim gle out an opponent and fall on him with might and main. As a result the player with the ball gets what appears to be a very lucky situation-a clear field.
 "Shoestrins'' Plays Futile.
 Close victories of big e1evens over smaller ones-that of Princeton over Rutgers recently. for instance-are very often due to the "breaks of the game that are the direct result of the reck- less style of play adopted by the minor team. With everything to gain and nothing to lose, the small elevens have altogether too much recourse to shoe string plays, and when one of these plays Is successful and converted into a touchdown the cry goes up-''Luclzi' D
 A "shoestring'' attack at best presents nothing more than a gamblers chance and leaves all kinds of openings for a break in favor of the other fellow. If Rutgers had relied more on it's straight plays there might have been a different story, for. except at the ends and a quarterback, it presented better de- veIoped combination.
 Princeton more than any other big college has been said to have been the beneficiary of that rnisnorner .1uclx'' in football. The Tiger coaches as far back as Bill Roper always taught their men to take advantage of the breaks s1nd as a result, Old Nassau in it's preliminary games has beaten many a more advanced eleven which it had no license to beat.

MAKING POLITICAL
ACTION DIFFICULT
By CARL D. THOMPSON


In his recent book on American Syn
dicaHsm, John Graham Brooks has the
following to say about Socialism in the
United States:
Socialism steadily wins it's way I'M
derneath all differences. Language,
religion, forms OF government sent no
barrier to its growth, because the
causes of Socialism underlie all these.
"The causes have their roots in the
discovered excuses of a competitive
system that fails to meet the mini
mum Of equality which powerful sec
tions in these commupities now de-
mand. In no part of the world have
these excuses been more riotous than
In the United States. Nowhere have
they been brought so widely or more
directly home to the masses than in
this country. The magnitude of our
area and of our economic resources
have concealed and delayed the expos
ure With the opening of the twenti-
eth century the exposure has come
After three decades of obscure and
fitful struggle Socialism becomes part
and parcel of our political and social
structure. 1t no longer stammers ex-
clusively in a tongue half learned. 1t
is at home in every American dialect.
1t no longer apologies, it defies. AL
most suddenly it wins congressman,
fifty mayors, and nearly a thousand
elected officials.
One of our most commanding fig
ures in the railroad world says that
the only practical issue now is to
'stave Socialism off as long as posi-
ble.' He is convinced that the first
chill of the shadow has fallen upon us.
There is much reason to believe that
Socialism in its more revolutionary
character is from now on to have it's
most fruitful field in the United
States"

COMMISSIONER SALTER SHOWS
NECESSITY FOR SCIENTIFIC TEACHING

The speaker last Sunday evening, at
Socialist headquarters, 1912, Califor-
MIA. was Comrade j. NJ Salter, and his
address was listened to with rapt at
tention from start to finish.
Comrade Salter declared that the
great issue before Socialists Is how
can we as individuals, and as an or
ganization, become more efficient and
potent factors for the realization of
the aims for which we are organized.
He then proceeded to point out that
we were Socialists because we de-
sired better life and knew that we
could not escape from the wage sys-
tenn Of today as individuals, but only
as a class. It was shown that condi-
tons had reached a point where SO
per cent. of the people would be bene-
fted by the adjustment of the wage
system, and that the Socialist move
ment was the conscious, intelligent
force of social evolution; that the

TWAS YOU WHO RAISED
YOUR BOY TO Be A SOLDIER
by Gerald G. Lively

(By Gerald G. Lively)
o! Mosners OF the world I hear yoI'
weeping
My heart has caught the echo of
your pain,
The fruit of what you sowed you
now are reaping
When you read your loved ones
name among the slain.
Twas you who taught your boy to be
a soldier,
You lifted him when soldiers passed
your way,
You first gave him gun-I know
twas only fun
But it trained his baby fingers for
the fray.
Take down the generals picture in
the parlor,
Tear down the gaudy butchers from
the wall.
IT'S time to teach your boy life's wild
er meaning
That he may understand a brothers
call.
Don't give your boy toy-gun for a
plaything
Twill only teach the little hands to
Stay,
Hide away the schreeching fife that
whistles for your life.
Burn the drum and throw the
wretched sword away.
Twas you who gave the box of
books of heroes
That showed in gaudy tints the SOL
dier's life,
You thrilled his baby-mind with
empty glory"
That tinsell's lie which is the soul
of strife.
Twas you who gave the box of
wooden soldiers,
Twas you who gave the little
sword of tin,
Twas you who raised your boy to be
soldier
And mothers. you are paying for
your sin.

best we could hope for was to be able
to guide and direct these forces in or
der to usher in, if possible, a peace
full transition from capitalism to So
cialism.
"The distinguishing features of the
human family and of animal life,"
said the speaker, "are that man is a
tool-user, and is able to transform his
environment and apply his mind to the
problems of life. The chief factor is
psychic. Therefore we, as Socialists,
must know psychology; we must
know how to deal with the human
mind"
Salter made a plea for deeper
study of such scientific works as
would fit us to become factors equal
to the great occasion that is before US,
and urged that we make a special
study of organization work that we
might utilize every bit of energy at
our command for the furthering of our
cause.

THE TRUTH ABOUT
THE BOY SCOUTS
BY ]. c. MCKEE.

The Boy Scout movement: Is it in
the interests of militarism. or not, that
is the question The daily papers OF
this state would have the mothers of
the boys believe there is no militar-
ism about it. / came across some
proof today that / think will pretty
effectually settle the controversy for
all time. In Farm Life Reader" book
a, page 318, (this is the adopted read
ing circle books for the state) find
these words under the subject OF
boy Scouts"
And how did these ladies behave
why, they answered that call Uni
formed and drilled like soldiers; they
became men indeed As messengers
they carried dispatches from fort to
fort under fire of shot and shell and
faced death as bravely as their faith
ers faced it, AS sentinels and order
lies they lived up to the last require
ments of duty. At whatever post of
service they were placed they behaved
like soldiers. SO conspicuous was the
service of these boy soldiers of Eng
land that the editor Of the London
Daily Express wrote Of them:
Throughout the hail of Boer bull
lets these young heroes mounted most
Iy on bicycles, carried on their duties
without wavering. At the end of the
war they received their medals like
the grown-up soldiers.
'The behavior of these British lads
at Mafeking prepared English ground
for the seeds Of the Boy Scout move
ment, which were to be sown some
years later.
while the English lads we're risk
ing their young lives in the defense
of the South African city, Ernest
Thompson-Seton. great nature lover,
was banding American boys together
to play at the mans game that they,
too, might answer nobly when duty
called"
SO you see the movement stands
condemned by its own friends.

think the weakness of all these ma

compensate for the losses of today and

The Germans must get out of Bel

But the main thing is stop the

likely to settle much. 1t remains for
the young men of the world and the

the best thing in sight. But that has
many difficulties. Such a committee
should sit until the war is over.

the main difficulty is that any one fit
