defeated by a plurality Of $4,000, and the
Democratic nominee who might have made
short work Of Mrs. Young's administration,
was in turn defeated for election by plural
ity about twice as large as that which
retired Mr.. Harrison.
So recently, when the Board of Education
brought up a rule forbidding members Of
the teaching force from belonging to the
teachers federation on the penalty of dis
mssal from the service, Mrs. Young went
valiantly to the front for the teachers She
condemned the rule as un-American, and
when 1t was adopted she criticised the board.
On Wednesday night of last week, when
the teachers held protest meeting in the
Auditorium Theatre, which was attended by
nearly 1000 people, Mrs Young was present.
She was not affected by the rule. She had
a good excuse for remaining away, inasmuch
1t was raining. Only half a dozen out
of 20 members of the City Council showed
themselves. Many others whose presence
expected remained away for various
reasons. Mrs. Young was there, and nearly
1000 people gave her an ovation which many
a distinguished statesman might have en-
Wed.
During a recent inquiry by a Senate
committee into school affairs, a member of
the Board Of Education made statements
concerning Mrs Young which she disap-
proved. She rose from her chair and point
ing a finger at the trustee, she said:
THAT statement is a lie!"
"On the Job"
All Of these incidents, happenings of the
last few weeks, are related here in an effort
to show the vitality of this remarkable
woman. Every meeting of the important
committees and every meeting of the full
board finds Mrs. Young one of the first
present. She is in touch constantly with
every phase of the school work-education
or business She has embarrassed board off,
cials more than once with her knowledge of
the business affairs of the schools. She has
an active mind. She is vigorous in body in
spite OF her years. She grasps propositions
readily and acts quickly In the language
of the street, she is on the job.
Mrs. Young's interest in the schools never
lags Her every thought is of methods of
education which best will serve the needs
of Chicago's S55,OOO pupils. She has crowded
the board on the question of building schools
until today, for the first time, it is
believed, there is seat for every child. She
has made changes in the curriculum to adapt
1t more to the conditions which exist In a
great city. Ventilation, housing, books
health, exercise, play-everything which
goes to make an ideal educational system
in city Of two and half millions-has had
its need Of attention from this matchless
educator and 1t is admitted even by critics
that Chicago's schools are better for having
been under the direction for six years of
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young.

Wesleyan Ends Practice
with a Light Drill


Middletown, Conn, Nov. l9.-There
was only light work to-day for the
Wesleyan team in preparation for the
game tomorrow with Trinity. Most of
the formations which will be used in
the game were gone over again careful
~. Deetjen and Eustis did a great deal
Of kicking, but there was no strenuous
work of any kind.
The hardest game of the season is
expected at Hartford, and the men are
in excellent condition to face it. 1t is
probable that early in the game Har-
mon will be shifted TO fullback in place
Of Crafts and that Markthaler will take
his place at haifback. In Harmon,
Deetjen and Markthaler Wesleyan has
star trio of end runners and forward
passers. In Harmon also the team will
have a good line plunger. Heck will
run the team at quarterback, and
through his stellar interfering should
give the faster men in the backfield
great opportunity to show their ability
as open field runners.

Treats for Stay-at-Hon1es
in Feast of Football TO-DAY
Columbia and N. Y. u. to
Battle on South Field, and
Keen Contest Is in
Prospect.

Columbia and New York University
will clash on South Field this after
noon In what promises to be hard
fought battle. Both teams have met in
practice scrimmages which showed that
they were evenly matched, and although
the New York University eleven was
badly battered in its game with Wes-
leyan last Saturday it has come back
strongly.
The game will mark the resumption
Of football relations between the city's
two largest colleges. which have not
met on the gridiron since 1899. In nine
Of these fifteen years, Of course, CO.
lumbia had no team. Therefore, al
though the game marks what practi-
cally will be the beginning Of football
relations, the rivalry between the two
Is intense, and II is shared by the
teams as we'll as by the undergraduate
bodies.
Columbia has the better record for
the season, with a slate showing three
victories and no defeats and total
point score Of 80 for It's opponents II
New York University, on the other
hand, has played seven games. Ii has
defeated K. 7. l., Hamilton, Union and
Stevens and tied with Bucknell Two
defeats have been registered against il
however, one by Hsverford and the
other by Wesleyan. Columbia's VIC
tories were over ST. Lawrence, Stevens
and the Connecticut Aggies.
Whatever advantage weight will give
will be in New York University's favor,
because It outweighs the Columbia
eleven by six pounds 70 the man. CO.
lumbia has spent most of It's time in
tbe last ten days in the development OF
a wide open offence, and 1t Is probable
that the Blue and White will resort to
forward passes for most Of its ground
gaining. II, p
New York University and President
Nicholas Murray Butler Of Columbia
will occupy adjoining boxes IN front OF
the south stand Other box holders
will be Warren Kinney, Georges Re
nault and Louis Ehret.
The Carlisle Indians will play their
first game of football in this city since
1918, when, with Captain Gus Welsh
Joe Guyon, Peter Calac and Brackiln
in the lineup, it defeated the mighty
Dartmouth eleven on the Polo Grounds.
Fordham University will be host at
Fordham Field, and the ball Will be
kicked of at 2 o'clock.

Indian school this year. The passing

Stevens Eleven Rests
for TO-day'S Battle

Rodgers, the Stevens football coach,
excused the whole squad from work of
any sort yesterday afternoon, as he
thought days layoff would do the
men more good than practice before
meeting Rutgers, at Hoboken, this
afternoon. Rodgers has directed his
attention especially TO the defensive
work OF the team during the past week
in the hope that the men will be able
to stop the heavy Rutgers backfield.
The engineers will go into the game
outweighed about twenty pounds TO the
man, but they will rely on the open
game TO overcome this disadvantage.
All the regulars are In good condition,
with the exception of Marshall, who
has a bad elbow. Captain Todd will
start at quarterback, this being his
first game since the Union contest, four
weeks ago.
The team will probably line up as
follows: Cotter and Hopkins, ends;
Grymes and Gennert. tackles; Odds
and MoelIer. guards; Middleton, cen,
tire. and Webb, Todd, Deghuee and
Musk in the backfield.

the squad, Is said to be . pocket edition

Jim Vaughn, formerly of Yale, is
coach Of the Fordham eleven, and Dave
Dunn, who played fullback for the
Bluo in the game which Sam White
snapped IN tumble and ran some
sixty yards or more for score, is cap
tain. Fordham has had an up and
down career on the gridiron this sea-
son, but the men are confident Of win
ming to-day. They believe that the
Indian line will prove unequal TO the
task of stopping Yule, Butler and Can't
we'll.
Rutgers, which is signing for more
worlds 20 conquer, will face Stevens
at Castle Field at $3.50 p. m. Unless
all signs carry far astray the game
should be little more than a cakewalk
for Rutgers. The eleven is one Of the
most powerful on the gridiron this
year, while Stevens has failed to i'm

A battle of the giants will be in or

the field in the stadium at Syracuse.
The Salt City eleven proved it's worth

beat Yale, and was not scored on until
last Saturday. Keen critics declare
that to-day Syracuse would prove
worthy foe for Yale, Harvard or any
other team. II owned the mastery Of
Princeton in an early season game.
Better to say, perhaps, that it lost by
the cunning OF Dave Tibbott's toe, for
the score was TO 0 in favor of the

ARMY HAS LONG
DRILL ON FIELD
SOGGY WITH MUD
Both Cadets andNavyPlan
to Use Second String
Men To-day.
by rsl.sr,ph TO IN. Tribune. ]

West Point, n. Y, Nov. 19.-The Army
eleven went through drill in the rain
to-day in final preparation for the
game with Springfield tomorrow. The
cadets toiled for a long while in the
mud and got plenty Of chance to han
die a slippery oval. The handling Of
the ball was clean, however, during the
signal drill and the lengthy punting
session which marked the practice.
Collins kicking was highly pleasing,
in spite of the fact that the pigskin
was heavy and the wind stiff. The
weather conditions are responsible for
several important last minute changes
In the personnel Of the eleven which
will face Springfield. A trio Of stars,
Oliphant, McEwan and Coffin, will not
start tomorrow. The field is treach-
erous and the going so bad that the
coaches will not risk the chance Of
serious injuries.
Annapolis, Nov. 19.-Though Ursinus
has displayed quite as good form as
the strongest Naval Academy team that
can be put on the field, Ingram, the
head coach, has decided to use a team
tomorrow made up largely Of substi-
tutes and second string men, as ne
fears to risk injuries to the principal
players.
The Navy will have its representa-
tives at West Point tomorrow, while
Army scouts will be in the Navy
stands, but it is not thought that much
will be learned by either. The regu-
lars had only signal and kicking drills
this afternoon, and were permitted to

Broadfoot and Vail, who are likely to
be among the first called upon if back
field substitutes are needed. ran
through the signals this afternoon in
the places of Westphal and Davis.
Craig and Martin completed the back
field. Some excellent punting was done
by Won Heimberg, Blodgett and Vail.
