about, that the fault lies not with
the keepers of Beulah Home.
Mr.. Richards does try to make
Christian girls out of those who come
there, as it is his belief that only in
that way is the girl permanently safe.
That may be open to discussion, as
some believe that a girl can reform
and learn her lesson without becOm-
ing a Christian. However, what Mr..
Richards does he does because he be-
ieves it to be right. And 1 do know
that he wOUldn't insist on any girl re-
naming in the chapel when her baby
needed her. He believes that, so long
as it is necessary for the girl to be-
come a mother, she should be one in
every sense of the word.
It is only fair that you print this
defense of Mr.. and Mrs. Richa1ds, for
your statements may do irTe able
harm among those of their Lllends
who do not know them as well as the
writer does.-Jessie Hague, Harvey,

CHANGES MADE
In ARMY LINEUP

West Point, Nov. 11.-Four army
elevens were hard at work on the Plains
gridiron yesterday afternoon. Changes
in the lineup OF the varsity featued the
workout The several shifts behind the
line gave half a dozen half backs u
chance in the scrimmaging. which was
surprisingly strenuous yesterday after
noon. The big team roughed it for an
hour with the scrubs. who were re-en-
forced with several new plays.
Two touchdowns were scored. the reg
alars' Oliphant getting both tallies. Be-
sides Oliphant the coaches used Place.
Coffin. Brundred, Walker and Barry in
the varsity's offensive drive. Place ana
Oliphant bore the brunt OF the work.
The former slashed his way through the
scrubs defense for several long gains
again today.
The scrubs were unable to score al
though once they carried the ball for
20 yards down the field on several we'll
executed forward pass plays. Jones, d
tackle in the varsity, was effective In
breaking up scrub plays. He broke
through several times and smeared the
play in its incipiency. Murrill and Ger
hardt were both used at quarter back
again McEween and Capt. Weyand were
both in toys and got in the signal drill
at the opening OF the practice. Dur
ing the scrimmaging Goodman was again
at te pivotal job and Parker worked
IN weyland's place at tackle.
Bob weyland and Ford were out. but
viewed the battle from the side lines.
The latter had his arm In a sling and
probably will not start against Maine
on Saturday.

MICHIGAN WILL NOT
GIVE UP COACH YOST

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 1.-THE
athletic director at the University of
Michigan denied last night that ''Hur-
ry-up" Yost would coach the Yale foot
ball team next year.
Despite the disastrous year on the
=ridiron this fall, the Michigan stu
dent body stands back Of Yost to a
man. and the utmost dismay prevails
here over the prospect of the loss of the
man who has done more for football at
Michigan than any other person For
fifteen years Yost has turned out
winning teams at the Ann Arbor in
stitution. and this is the first year he
has failed TO win at least one of his big
games.
According to Director Bartelme, Yost
has agreed to give the local athletic as
ISOLATION notice of his intention to leave
at least thirty days before the end of
the season previous to his departure, and
as no such notice has been given the
authorities here expect him to return
next fall.

CORNELL PREPARES
FOR SOUTHERNERS

Ithaca, N Y, Nov. 1l.-Cornell will
close the home football season Satur-
day with Washington and Lee in the
first International battle with a
Southern team ever played on an
Ithaca field. The Southerners have
not been beaten this year. and while
their record is somewhat obscure. Dan
Reed and Ray Van Orman are author
titles for the statement that Cornell
will be up against her hardest OPP
ponent OF the year so far. At all
events the Ithacans are taking no
chances, and the team that last week
crushed Michigan will take the field in
all its strength.
The game will be the big home con-
test of the season. A large number
of house parties will be held over the
week end and there will be a concert
and hop.
After a two-day rest from their la
bors at Ann Arbor. the varsity eleven
got busy yesterday in a full-hedged
scrimmage with the scrub eleven,
and today will be marked by the most
strenuous practice. Though Cornell
walloped Michigan decisively. the
coaches are not willing to admit that
the team played in its best form and
will be disappointed II Cornell does
not play better football in the last
two games of the season. The Itha-
ca eleven is now receiving its finish

top notch, every part is being put into
the best possible condition. so that II
will be able to make a whirlwind fin

VIRGINIA ELEVEN
NOT OVERCONFIDENT

Charlottesville. Va. Nov. l1.-Realiz-
ing that Virginia Saturday will go up
against a team that his not tasted de-
fet this season. Head Coach Warner
yesterday put his wards through a
stiff practice. which did not conclude
until dark Every regular was in uni

more.
Kemper Yancey again sent the
backs through a long drill in block
ing and taekling. following. which the
varsity was"lined up for shadow work
against Team c, running South Caro-
lima plays.
South Carolina is said to have a
varied attack. relying especially upon
the forward pass. 1t Is against this
aerial attack that the Virginia backs
are now being drilled.
In the daily punting and drop-kick-
ing practice, White showed marked
improvement in landing field goals,
being more successful in his attempts
yesterday than Thurman.
The work draeded most by the
players was the tackling practice.
Tacklers were stationed on every To-
yard mark on the gridiron and each
player had to run the gauntlet. carrying
the ball. A dozen spills for each man

Poughkeepsie in 1914 and IL has also
been first across the finish line in sew
eral early spring short matches.
. The Bogue, a boat on the same lines
as the Edwin Gould, was built year
ago, but the crew felt much more at
home in the old boat, and Coach Rice
allowed them to row in it. And now
the varsity men have prevailed once
more upon the coach to use this shell.
The veterans seem to think that II runs
between strokes better than the newer
one. Certainly II carried the crew beau
tifully, the bow riding up Just to the
right extent. In spite OF its age and
hard usage in the rough Hudson waters
II is apparently as stiff as ever.
The Blue and White coach is a past
master Of the intricate art of rigging
and the present crew shows no excep-
ton in the results of his handicraft. The
oars are always parallel at every angle
OF the stroke. The stretchers are so
placed that the power is applied to the
best possible advantage.
The shell will be sent to New Haven
Wednesday night, which will allow the
crew to row over the racing course the
morning and afternoon Of Thursday.
The crew Is seated as follows: Mum

I For years prior to 1910 Yale reigned su-
preme on the gridiron. Blue victories were
scored with monotonous regularity. II
was seldom that the string of triumphs
was interrupted. And in those years other
sports fiourished at Yale. But since 1910
Yale has been slipping backward. Blue
victories have been. the exception rather
than the rule. Yale longs to regain lost
prestige.

Harvard ought to be q leader in foot
ball reforms as well as in the develop
ment of championship elevens. But the
Crimson authorities this year have left
themselves wide open to criticism by
their refusal to number their players
as virtually all other universities. East
as well as West, have done.
In the Princeton game, for example,
the Tigers wore numbers that permit
ted the spectators to identify them at
all times. Not only were the specta-
tors denied the privilege of knowing
the Harvard lineup. but they had no
means of knowing the identity Of a
single Harvard player.
The Harvard attitude is difficult to
understand and consider with any de-
gree of patience. For several years the
rules committee had favored the re-
| form and this year included a note to
the rules suggesting specifically that
all teams should number their players.
Harvard's reasons for not complying
with this sensible request are puerile.
] Percy Haughton is that it would per-
init Crimson's opponents to know too
much about individual Harvard play
ers in advance of the championship
games
If Haughton imagines that Yale and
Princeton scouts who watch Harvard
play its preliminary games in Cam
bridge do not know exactly what is
going on there and the identity of
every player they ought to be walked
up. Haughton's second reason is that
his players get enough notoriety now
without being advertised by Identify
ing numbers.
The newspapers record everything
the players do anyhow. and showing a
little consideration for the public which
pays 50 per seat and makes the game
the financial success 1t is. can hardly
be expected to add to the extravagant
praise the players already receive.
