A Noble Task.

In too many instances the country
papers mimic the city press by CIV
ing prominence to scandals, accidents
and political agitation. rhe new
rural civilization has placed upon the
rural press renewed responsibilities,
and enlarged possibilities for useful
ness. 1t cannot perform it's mission
to agriculture by recording the frail-
ties, the mishaps and inordinate am
billions of humanity, or by filling it's
columns with the echoes of the strug-
giles of busy streets, or by enchanting
stories of city life which lure our
children from the farm.
1t has a higher and nobler task.
Too often the pages of the city dailies
bristle with the struggle of ambitious
men in their wild lust for power, and
many times the flames of personal
conflict scar the tender buds of new
civilization and illuminate the path
way to destruction. The rural press
is the governing power of public senti-
ment and must hold steadfast to
principle and keep the ship of state
in the roadstead of progress. The
rural press can best serve the inter-
ests of the farmers by applying its
energies to the solution of problems
affecting the local community. 1t
must stem the mighty life current
that is moving from the farm to the
cities, sweeping before it a thousand
boys and girls per day. 1t has to deal
with the fundamental problems of
civilization at their fountain head. It's
mission is to direct growth, teach eff
ficiency and mold the intellectual life
of the country, placing before the pub
lie the daily problems of the farmers
and giving first attention to the leg
islative, cooperative, educational and
social needs of the agricultural classes
within Its respective community.

The Power Of Advertising.

The farmer is entitled to all the

DUNN BIDS FAREWELL
 TO COLLEGE GRIDIRON
Local Has Not Completed Studies at Fordham, But Has Played College
 Football Four Years.

New York, Nov. 29.-Despite its slump the football team which has just closed it's season at Fordham IS expected to develop big things for the Bronx college by a year from now. Only two. regulars will be lost by reason of the four-year rule, and two players who are in the senior class have signified their intention of returning to take up law. Seven of the men who finished the season in regular positions are freshman, and have three more years to play.
 The two men who Fordham loses this fall are Dave Dunn and Al Yule, who have been considered the two stars of the Maroon eleven for last two seasons. Neither veteran grad uates, but as Dunn saw service at Yale before coming to Fordham, and Yule starred for New York Univer- sity few years ago, they have reach ed the intercollegiate disability aga 1 which follows four years competi- ton. Neither player will leave Ford | ham, however. Dunn remaining to l put in his last term at the law school, ] while Yule has still a big stretch be- 1 fore he takes his degree in medicine. ] As yet Harry Vaughn has not made
 any announcement whether he is q
 candidate for the next years coach l ing berth or not.
 l No choice has been made yet of next seasons captain, but it is likely
 that the final selection will lie be- l tween Jack Conklin, the left end who ] is a freshman at the law school, 1 and Jim Butler, the Maroon right 1 half. Butler is a senior at college,
 but is going to take up law. Both
 men have played for three years.
 For other material Fordham has 1 Mcclure, right end; Hendricks, right tackle; Paul Conklin, right guard: ] Trear e,r, center; Golden, quarter | back; and Cantwell, right half, all
 of whom are freshmen. Tn addition
 Morcaldi Donnelly, Corridor, Hall 1 Mulcahy, and Delahanty, all of whom appeared in one or more of the bigger games this year, will be eligible to play again. The "Fs' will be award
 ed this week. and will be followed by the captaincy election. The Bronxites have also almost completed arrange ments with Colum bia for a fight for the city title in 1916, while they ex- pect to open the season against ci- ther the Army, Princeton, or Penn- l sylvania.

PAWNEES AND ANNEX
 IN SCORELESS TIE
City Football Championship Unde-
 Cided-Big Crowd at Game

The first annual debate between tho Annex and the Pawnees football elevcns, was held yesterday atter- noon at Traut's field, before one or the largest gatherings or enthuslasI" that ever assembled to witness football game in this city, it being es- tinated that between four and nvo thousand followers of both teams were lined up before the game was called.
 The contest itself was long the lines of the sand lot' football, and was marred by the many arguments between players on both sides, also wrangles with the officials over rul- ings In this respect the Annex team garnered the honors. When the teams arrived at the field, it was seen that the boys from the eastern end of the city were considerable heaVier than their opponents, but the follow CTS of the latter team argued that the dash and speed of their pets would overcome this advantage. In this they were right, for but once during the game was the Pawnees goal line approached, and the Annex l could not get nearer at this time than the 30-yard line. The Pawnees seV- eral tl1n6S LnTedIenSd bo D|Dt"' | but the heavy line of the Annex brac- l ed at critical times, and prevented score.
 The early part of the game was do= l voted entirely to old time bucking the l line tactics by both teams, and re-
 suited in only small gains. The An- mex were guilty of many fumbles, which their alert opponents were l quick to recover, and toward tho end of the first quarter the PaWnees succeeded in getting the ball to tho fifteen yard line, but lost it on downs. Tn the second quarter nothing or
 importance occurred, first one team
 getting the ball and then the other, and the playing for the greater part
 was in the vicinity of the center of
 the field.
 The second half opened with both . teams going at each other with ven-
 geance. Much bunting was done by , both teams with Chief" Larson clearly outkicking Scott for the An
 nex. In the last quarter the Paw
 nees on a beautiful forward pass
 aided by some fine line bucking by Krause reached the 10-yard line but fine defensive work by Breen and
 Blanchard held the southend boys at that point and the Annex secured

The Winning Machine.

Coach Yost of Michigan was among those who observed the Cornell-Penn and the Army-Navy conflicts.
 "A good strong line and one back field star to carry the ball or act as d threat to give others chance make up a winning eleven" he said. Cor nell and Harvard had the strong lines and the backfield stars in Barrett and in Mahan. They not only could gain ground themselves, but they made it easier for the other backs to work. Maulbetsch was as big a star as ever, but he had no line to work back of. With a weak line, neither Mahan nor Barrett would ever have shown to any great advantage"

Job for -Mahan.

We see where Ned Mahan will not take up coaching after he graduates. If Mahan is uncertain about his future he should go upon the stage. In ad- dition to proving himself a great foot ball player, he proved to be almost as great an actor.
 Haughton's fake plays call for finished acting to be effective. And at this art Mahan rose to great heights. Both in expression and in action he went through his part so well that he as frequently chased and tackled when King or another back was carrying the ball twenty yards away in another direction.

Who Goes Next.

Ted Coy received large and healthy dent in his football renown when he attempted to coach Yale in 1910.
 Howard Jones, who had more than made good at Syracuse, took up the Eli assignment, and thereby dropped most of his coaching fame.
 Frank Hinkey followed Jones' and now he, too, moves on out into the shadows.
 Shevlin took up Hinkey's task at the finish, and dropped a hunk of the glory gained five years ago.
