 Mich. Aggies, 24-Michigan, o. I remem Der the stand at Thermopyla : The Greek guard made one day; I remember the legions that Caesar i
 used To shatter the Gallic sway; And I remember across the years Two banners that crowned the crest, When Yale was king of the con
 quered East, And Michigan ruled the West At night in my humble den I dream Of the glories that used to be- Of Hannibal taking the Alpine train, Of Drake on the open sea; And then I wander the ancient ways To a dream that I love the best, When Yale was king of the con-
 ouered East And Michigan ruled the West.
 When Time gets set for the wallop. the rest of it is beyond debate. There is no rebuttal. There are no excep- tions. Not even with Percy Haughton at the guns.
 Harvard was merely due. Within the long span of five and a half sea- sons the Crimson banner had come down but once. Through this period 1 Harvard's reign had been as com plete as Yales used to be in the old days of Yale glory. The wonder is. not that Harvard was at last stopped, 1 but that she was able to show such mastery for so long time.
 The Big Red Team.
 Cornell can revive the melody of ''The Big Red Team" with more en- thusiasm than she has ever known. 1 Cornells place at the athletic top is now unchallenged. With the record she has made upon the track, the water, the diamond and the gridiron- ta king the general average-there is no one to compete. It took her a long time to lift her football depart ment up on even terms with her other sportive achievements. But this uplift | started under way the day she secured A! Sharpe.
 i Cornell today is in front of the in tercollegiate athletic parade. She Is Number One as far as the general average of all sports goes. And Num- Der Two isn't very close upon her | heels.
 The Yale Dip.
 Yale is dropping deeper and deeper into the Bog of Trouble. First it was Virginia. Then w & J. Next Satur- day, unless a miracle intervenes, it will be Colgate. For Colgate so far has been playing 40 per cent. beyond Yale's 1915 speed. And after Colgate Princeton and Harvard are to follow.
 Unless a Blue revival comes witf astonishing speed, Yale will finish hel season with five defeats and that il a year when her material was sup posed to be first class. It takes nc Platonian brain to suggest that Yal hasn't yet hit upon the proper foot ball system-a system to compar' with that shown by Haughton, Sharpe and Rush, provided Rush continue as he has begun.
 The Case of Rush.
 Down at Princeton, Rush has drawl but half a seaeson in which to show results.
 Yet there is already strong evidence that he Is exactly the man tha Princeton has been looking for Judged by what he has shown so far Rush is a machine builder of thu winning type. He seems to know tn proper combination of defense anC attack, giving defense the preferenc early in the season, as any first class coach should always do. A fine attack is of no particular value with a defense that permits tn other eleven to retain possession o the ball. You can't gain an excessiv' amount of ground as long as riva backs are plunging through your line | and circling your ends. Rush so fal , has constructed an admirable October machine. If the expected improve ment continues into the Novembe test, Princeton has more than fai chance of repeating her 1911 program when she upset Harvard and Yalt upon successve Saturdays. While Yale was looking for a Yale man to build up her football fortunes Cornell went out and found him. For | Cornell.
 Maxims From the Resin Dust. Speed is a vital factor and science holds it's place. But the Old WalloT | covers up g. multlIuu6 or HleulOcTlIy.
 For the bloke with the wallop car afford to trade one punch for ten, tht basis of exchange that Moran useC :, with Coffey.
 ! ''Cornell and Princeton says ar | exchange, "now rule in the East '. Perhaps. But we'd hate to have ovel million bet on even Cornell ant | Princeton against PittSburg ITniver
