Captain of Eleven Says All Sc
cret Societies at New Haven
Are Detrimental.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Dec 20-Clin-
ton Black. Yale's new football captain.
declared last night that an innovation
would be made next year in prohibiting s
from the field all ineligible players, ex-
ccpt those whose ineligibility consisted
of coming from other colleges. For
once the players will be compelled to
study. Captain Black appealed to the
players to forget secret societies and
work with only the university in mind.
lie said that Yale had been disgraced
by its defeats of the last few seasons.
In discussing the football situation he
said:
The outlook for football at Yale
next year is very bright. 1t is probably
brighter than 1t was last year, because
the men have been made to realize that
they have to keep up in their work, and
eligible. There viii be no ineligible men
allowed on the field. except those who
enter from other colleges. There is no
us" in going over the ineligible squad
this year. which many people claim was
u Disgrace, because the men have found
tho cmSolV"s and have settled down to
conEclcntIOuS studying.
The proposition We face next year
support of every one in the college in
order To have a team that will be a
credit Ia the university Every man
Can help, and If no viii put his "hould"r
to the wheel md do his part everything
will come out all right. Every n
laughs about the Yale spirit. but 1t j.
still here, :S,d it is mp 10 us 20 show
that it L. here. We've got TO bring II
out next year. and we want to think
about this all the time. Acade mic And
ShCf must get closer together. and
every one must work for the university
Forget about societies and ,,ut the uni.
Nersity ahead of everything. We have
got to do it. ard il we get this spirit
throughout tn" whole university we
shall have a team here which can no,
be beaten and won't he beaten.
DO You realize what disgrace il is
TO be beaten the way we have in the
last fow years" Something has TO be
done, and the team next year will dc

Duli1 Leaving Naught

Every New Member in A. c. B. A. Chapter Imme-
dately Appointed on His Committee to Secure
Further Material to Boost Tourney
BY KIRK c. MILLER.

"Wsshington's chapter OF the At
iantic Coast Bowling Association is to-
day 800 members stronger than II was a
week ago" This is the statement OF
Chairman J. Ernest Dulin. Of the mem
bership committee. who has started a
vigorous campaign to send our strength
up to the 700 mark. and II his present
policy lie continued and the bowlers re-
spond as readily as they have since, the
last two booster meetings were held
that number will be exceeded.
Dulin has adopted about one Of the
cleverest methods OF saininG members
that has come to the attention of the
bowlers. and il is only typical of the
earnest effort he is making to carry out
his department Of the tournament work
Everyone who Joins the local chapter
automatically becomes member Of the
membership committee. and he is i'm
pressed with the importance Of getting
others to join the association and the
committee. Through this system Dulin
now has the whole town working for
him and with him. and the results are
gratifying. indeed.
Five hundred new members within a
week at 20 cents a member Is about the
finest argument presented so far for the
success OF the tournament. and shows
the actual interest which is being dis.
played in favor Of the tournament or
all sides.
With Washinston's fifty odd bowling
leagues supported by nearly 5000
bowlers. to draw from, the desired
membership mark of 1000 should be
in easy reach, provided those whc
are now members continue to jraft II
new material. 1t should be borne II
mind that an attractive insignia 70,
the lapel and a card admitting thi
owner to the tournament buidinl
during the rolling accompanies eacl
membership.

event by Washington's merchants ant

It's trade bodies will be measured
largely by the number of people who
are directly interestd, so there Is
every reason for the bowlers to give
the tournament their undivided sup

Is promoting It.

ECZEMA DlSFIGuRED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was dishgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi.
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine Of the
two doctors without any result. we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly We saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head Of hair which is a pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies TO everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.
