MANY RUMORS FOR YALE BOYS SINCE
 LEGORE INCIDENT

New Haven, Oct 22-Possib1y never before has Dame Rumor done such a tango across the Yale campus, up and down Elm street, the last couple of days Iand following from Batten to Walter Mace's, as in the giving of the gate to the famous Y ale ineligible quintet
 Among the first things one heard yesterday was that Yale would inn mediate1y protest the playing of some Princeton men who were caught do- ing something or other last summer that would bar them from football No names were mentioned and none were asked for that might possibly spoil the story.
 little rumor that several Harvard men were to be protested. including Cap tain Eddie Mahan and Tom Enwright. Just why these two men were singled out of the mob to hang the story to was not learned Someone remark ed that Tom had done something or other and that Mahan had also done som ething or other and if one asked what the big idea was the Yale man would simply look one wisely in the eye and say: well, kid, you know how them things is worked!
 This is the day of rumors on the Yale campus and they won't down until another sensation comes up such as the discovery of Max Schwartz lost alligators or something 9r other like that.
 Some said Jake Bssas, who had been noticed around the campus, might make Harry Legore an offer to come to Rutgers, but Jake denied this when seen. It was reported several of Moose Miller's croGs-country4 rum ners might be barred from further competition, pr. Bell having discov- cred some badly fractured eligibility rules

CRICKET AND BASEBALL WE'RE RIVALS IN
 THE EARLY DAYS

Nowadays the American is inclin- to jeer at the British game of cricket, while the Englishman dismisses base ball as merely "glorified rounders.'' g There was a time, however, when cricket was ass popular on this side of the Atlantic as in Great Britain, and when a cricket contest would attract a much bigger crowd than a baseball game. This is, in way, the birthday of cricket as. an American pastine,- as it was on October 22, 1888, just seventy seven years ago today, that the first cricket match for money was played in America. The crick ct teams of New York and Brooklyn op- posed each other on the field Of the latter club, and played for s4o0 a side
 At that period the game of round CTS was popular and already the sport was beginning to develop into. the Sglorifed rounders'' now known as baseball In Philadelphia town bai1'' was played by the Olympic club, the first team of it's kind in America In New York and New England distinc- tive games somewhat resembling baseball were in process of birth, and in 1846 baseball came into being. Even before that Major General Abner Doubleday had originated a game at Cooperstown, N- Y., which was aIIerWaFQ called Base Ball. Up to half a century ago, however baseball had but a. small following among adults and it was usually play ed by youngsters, by whom it was often called Two Old Cat" Three Old Cat'' and Town Ball. In the meantime cricket f1ourished, and had large following of fans al over the United States and Canada An encyclopedia published in 1858 does not mention baseball. while ii describes cricket as 'sthe ;favorite out door game of Americans, both o1

Player Author Scandal
 Should Be Eliminated

It is reflection on the intellect of the followers of baseball to ask them. to believe that the players advertised as covering the Worlds Series for cer- tain papers. really write the stori es credited tp them. There may be an instance or two where this has been done, but none of the present crop of writing players do their own work; not even Ty Cobb, who is sup posed to be capable of this sort of work. writes J. Ed Gr1llo in the Wash ington Star,
 Carrigaa and Moran both covered the series. while all the stars of the two contestihg teams saw their names over long dissertations the contents of which will be news to them until they read them.
 Even one Of the nlasnates of the American League consented to allow his name to be used in hoodwinking g xlae public. Colonel Ruppert of the |95eW York American League club covered the series for several papers. How the head of an AnleTi can League club could be induced to be 8 party to such 9 thing, when he must know how his organizat1on las drowned upon the practice as a general thing, Is puzzle not yet solved. It certainly can not be that Colonel Ruppert un- derstood that he was to be thus flea tured" or he would not have permit ted the use of his name.

ment.
Mr.. shaeffer said war will come to
an end only when the 100000 teachers
in the United States and the 5000, 900
teachers in other countries begin to
teach history from the standpoint OF
peace. Five out of six questions in
history examinations now have to do
with war. The speaker said the VIC
tories of peace should be emphasized
instead.
If military drill is essential to the
Strengthening of the pupils mind and
physique, girls should be taught as
well as boys. But it is not essential,
as experiments have proved that it is
more harmful for the growing boy
than it is good.

not believe in the drill in the scheel
room, and our generals should alike the
same view"

The Conqueror
By Constance Clarke

We watched by the side of tired soul
In the darkest hour of night;
And we prayed that a respite, swift and sure,
Might come with the mornings light
And the throbbing black Of the darkest hour
Was cut by struggling breath;
And Life seemed cruel as 1t fingered there,
When we prayed for the touch of Death.
And Death reached low with his kindly hand
For the Life that must quickly cease;
And. tired. we bowed at his chilly feet
And prayed for swift release.
Then dawn burst forth In a flame of rose,
That over the pillow crept;
And Death drew back with the shades of night;
For behold, the sufferer slept.
