whistled for Brattleboro and rolled
right along. From all accounts the
prospects of the Green pulling off a
victory are not so bright as they have
been in some years in the past.
If this present zeal over the anna
teur standing Of college boys is carried
to a logical conclusion viii not a school
boy, who wins a cash prize at the Boys
and Girls exposition at Rutland, run
the risk, when trying out for the ping
pong team at some institution of high
or athletic development, of encounter
ing the charge of professionalism
in that he has accepted money in u

SMALL COLLEGES
KNOW FOOTBALL
Days of big Four Are Passed -
Time When Size Of Score Was Only
Question Is No More.

Until only recently there was in the
college football world what was known
as the Big Four, consisting of Harvard,
Yale, Princeton and Penn, and later on
the wonderful strides made by Cornell
on the gridiron entitled that iustitu-
ton, according to the opinion of some
experts, to be classed with the best
teams, and for several years the Big
Five was frequently referred to.
The term was applied to these teams
because of their superiority over all
other college elevens and because they
would 90 through season after season
without sustaining defeat, except when
the big elevens met each other in the
final games. But these conditions have
been gradually undergoing a change
during the last few years and it is sell
dom that reference is made to the Big
-Four or the Big Five. And it is all
because the smaller colleges have be
come more proficient in the sport and
are no longer outclassed by Yale. Har-
ward, Princeton, Penn and Cornell, as
they were a few years ago.
At that time it was never a question
as 10 which team would win when one
Of the Big Five met smaller college
eleven, but by how large n score the
big team would win In recent years
all the big teams have met defeat and
have been held to tie games, and these
upsets have occurred so frequently that
the certainty Of victory has almost en-
tirely disappeared, and the big teams
work just as hard for many Of their
minor games as they do for the con
tests that are looked upon to decide
the gridiron championship.
The larger institutions have always
had the advantage of having greater
number of students from which to Sc
lect material for the football teams,
and with coaching staffs that were SUI
pcrior in number and knowledge and
experience in the game to those which
the smaller institutions could afford
there is little wonder that there was a
distinct dividing line between the Big
Five and the other colleges, Just as
there is between major and minor
league baseball.
The progress of some of the smaller
teams may be due to increased registra-
ton, which gives more candidates for
the team, but the principal reason for
the increased ability has been due tC
the coaching. Graduates of the larger
institutions who were football stars
have gone out as coaches and in any
number of smaller institutions may bC
found Yale, Harvard and Princeton
men and not a few from Penn and Cor
nell who are teaching the advanced
ideas of the game.
The defeatsr.of =. Yale by aVirgini;
was the first upset Of the sea
son for one of the so-called big teams
hut there is little doubt that there vii
be more of them before the final foot
bah games Of the season are plaveo
early in November.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
THr BIRTH OF A NATION.
Motion Picture Spectacle on Most Tire
mendous Scale Ever Undertaken.

With the approach of half century
after the actual scenes of the Civil
war, this highest development of the
motion picture art bears a keen rela
tionship to current events. Aside from
its dramatic appeal and poetic flight
it brings back to a younger genera
ton with a newborn realism the
things which our fathers and grand
fathers went through that out of the
travail could come the nation we are
SO proud of today. 1T is not a case of
opening old wounds but is art sugges-
| tive. the highest form Of art, to point
out to US the mistakes and misunder-
standings of the past that we may face
! the crisis of the present with a calm
/ ness and determination TO uphold the
right.
The dramatic fern often has been
employed by the greatest minds of the
world to express underlying truths and
las regards the usages and the suffer
ines of war no pen has been able tC
make as impressive a picture as Mr.
Griffith has encompassed in this mas
lterpiece. A born realist, he cuts into
the quick of facts that he may es
tablish his dramatic plot. He has mo-
been concerned with factions or prop
Uganda. but with the unerring view o
the master of the new art he has made
his impress upon our minds in a wa,
which is startEngly original and
force to be reckoned with in the flu
ture He masses great armies upon
historic plain to reproduce the record
of a mighty struggle, and by the hu
man interests of two families makes
great nation s efforts topic of
dramatic construction which appeals :
the heart and the sympathies as n
-tbald narrative of facts could hope t
2 do To attain these results he employ
the passions, the loves and the confic
of essential drama He writes histor
: by flashes of lightning and with it a
!. has built up spectacle that thrills tn
& human soul, brings tears to the eye
s mingles pathos with laughter, an
e above all else, does something fine VI
d on the most tremendous scale that We
a ever undertaken by a dramatist in tt
world S history.
