Nerve and Efficiency Again.

In the old days "Yale courage" and "Yale spirit were among the leading topics of sport.
 Today, you hear Yale signing for the old days of Yale fight" But taking nothing from the Yale of other years, it wasn't so much a matter Of courage or spirit after all. These terms were overplayed. It was Yale "efficiency'' that, in the main, pro- noted Yale spirit. Ten years ago Yale had more courage and spirit than other rivals had, merely because Yale had more efficiency. We have preached this doctrine before, the idea that efficiency makes for nerve and courage And Yale elevens were the most efficient elevens that took to the field. Not because they were made up of men any braver or more courageous than the Yale men of the present day. But because they were far more efficient upon the field. Yale, today, in football, is inefficient. | And inefficiency and spirit or courage rarely travel the same paths.

That the Maroon $ able to score one touch down re- ted only from the fact that in the quarter, when the count was &de, the Washington substitutes Ire rushed on the field so fast that D could not keep track of them, and hinst this weakening of the visiting

but there was always a Washington
 player where the ball was to land.
 Gilroy to Leighty was a favorite pass,
 and another that worked with success
 was from Wall to Giiroy.
 The Washington team scored in the
 first few minutes of play. Wall got away for long run of twenty-five yards that put the ball close to the Fordham goal. One p. Inge at the line by Gilroy failed to take the ball
 over, but the next effort ! N tne same
 man could not be stoppC,l Dy Ford
 ham's defense, and Gilroy scored the touchdown right through the center of the line. NCai the close of the first quarter Ford ] had it's first chance for a score. s1 fitzgerald made two bad passes 5i' Maloney's head, and on the last }'onklin came through and recove:r ~t:,e ball for the Maroon on GeorGf- -t ns twenty-yard line. One short ward pass Butler to Dunn gainc>. slightly, but Fordham could ma ke T., steady headWay toward the Washington goal. Two more for ward passes were attempted and both failed of completion. George town took the ball on downs, and Maloney then punted out of danger.
 One of the most sensational runs of the game came in the second periodl. With the ball in 1nidfeld Gilroy who was ever a worry to F'ordham with his hard attack circled Fordham's left end on wild race for a touch down. Wall and Leighty gave him the interference at the start of the run, but they were left behind and one Fordham man made a desperate effort to stop the flying .Washingto- ian. He did get his arms around him, but Gilroy had a remarkable way of keeping his feet when tackled and he shook himself free and crossed the line. It was after this tally had been made that George town opened it's volley of aerial foot ball. Passes followed one another in such quick succession that Fordham was bewildered. As result of a tumble Georgetown gained possession of the ball on Fordham's thirty-yard line. A pretty pass Wall to Gilroy gained fifteen yards and then another was executed by the same men after line p1unges had been tried. This last one gave the touchdown that made the score 20 to o in favor of the visitors In the first half George town completed four forward passes for a total of sixty yards while Ford ham had made but two for ten yards.
 At the start of the second half 1 Wall almost got away for a long run. He broke through Fordhams line for a twenty-yard run and when it seemed that he must have a clear field for a touchdown one of the Fordham men managed to pull him down. Wall passed as he was thrown but the ball went wide and was re- covered by Fordham. The touch down, however, came a moment later. Dunn punted out of bounds on his own thirty-five yard line and then Gilroy and Leighty completed pass that placed the ball on Fordham's one-yard line. Wall scored the touchdown.
 The Georgetown men were giving the runner almost perfect interfer- ence at all times and the Fordham ends were put out of the plays which accounts for the long gains Maloney,

What good can Shevlin do at Yale? ? We'll, for one thing, he can at least furnish some mental inspiration and help Yale to make a better battle. Tor even in a short time he can add a certain amount of team efficiency.

oIl IllIlC. Fate called a quitter from the crowd And barred his pathway to success; At each new blow he walled aloud And faltered in the strife and stress; And step by step Fate dragged him
 low
 The easier each passing day, And yet he struck no counter blow Or ever upward fought his way. And at the end he cursed the Fate That swept him to such wretched
 state. Fate picked a Fighter from the throng And barred his pathway to the goal; At each new blow, with purpose
 strong,
 He fought with ever braver soul: And step by step he fought Fate back The easier each passing day, And soon before the staunch attack Fate fled in terror from his way. And at the end he blessed Fate's
 whim
 That helped to make a man of him. Which reminds us again of Col. John Trotwood Moore's immortal re- train: "Only the game fish swim up stream.'
 Swimming with the current is the greatest softener in the game. Walk ing with nothing but success is one ot the greatest of all disasters. The finish can only be a degeneration unto pure fat, for both the heart and the brain.

The Small College Rise.

This explains the changed state shown by smaller universities in meet ing the larger ones.
 In the old days the smaller univer- sities knew little football, compari- lively. They had not received the fine coaching they have in late years. When they stepped out upon the field against a big Y or big H they were beaten beforehand, knowing they were inefficient in every way.
 The big Y and the big H were merely emblems of greatly superior efficiency. Today these smaller college clevens, or many of them, know they are about as efficient as the larger ones. And with this knowledge has come the new nerve or confidence so often com mented upon.

SWINE DO WELL
ON SOFT CORN.
No More Danger from Cholera In
Feeding Soft Than mature Corn.

How about feeding immature
corn to hogs" was the question
asked in letter received by the
animal husbandry department of
Iowa State college last week. My
corn is almost all soft this year, :"
it continues, ''and I am afraid
that the hogs will get sick unless
feed something with it to bal
ance so much green stuff. Can
you recommend such feed?"
Soft corn can certainly be fed
TO fattening swine to excellent
advantage; in fact, it is a good
feed for all kinds of swine, an
swersi the animal husbandry de-
partment.
The common opinion that soft
corn causes cholera is not neces-
sarily true. 1t might cause pigs
to get off feed and bo thus more
subject to cholera, but pigs do not
get cholera from eating soft corn
unless cholera is present.
a good way To handle the soft
corn is to feed it with protein
supplement. Put tankage feed
er in the cornfield and allow the
pigs to have all the corn and
tankage they can eat, also salt.

| Why is the merchant always

der the heading why Always the

There are some things in life
which pass human understanding
and one of these is the habit peo-
!, pie have when they want to build
a church, erect a Y. M. C. A. bGiid-
ling, pay an evangelist or do other
things of a public nature which
costs money in towns of Atlant rs
size they expect the business men
|of that town, the merchants on
the street, to bear the big end uf
The expense Of it. No matter how
many men there may be in the
town not in business and with
codes of money the merchant is
the fellow who is bled the har.!.

stock of goods and because
r,ainly, he seeks, the pat'. ~ ,f

Ichant, he pays the freight" and
then the tight wad, the fellow with
the money he is going TO take with
him, sits back and enjoys the ben
eft of the other fellows enter
fprise and liberality.
why, will some. one tell Va,
should the merchant always be-
Imilked? What is the logic of it?
II surely is not because he is rich,
| for that is seldom the case. He
lis haragsed from more sides than
lany other man lin the business

This paper hopes TO see the
day come when all things now
done by public subscription can
be done by taxation. That is the
only fair way. Then all the peo-
