playing rudimentaN football perfectly
and with a sHdIIful. hiehly developed at
tack. nothing but equally sood football
could prevail. How this Yale team. in
spite OF Princeton's fumbles, managed to
defeat the Tigers must remain one OF the
mysteries of the 1915 season.
There was nothing sensationally new
about Harvard's attack. It was merely
generalship and unerring handling Of the
ball that made the Crimson invincIble.
Haughton's whole scheme Of battle is the
masked attack. The opposition never
knows where the attack Is to go. and
when the drive is accompanied by speed
and power no defense Gao long withstand
It. This year, as for several years past.
Harvard was blessed with unusually
good quarterback material While other
colleges go years looking for a first-class
field general. Harvard seems to develop
a new one every year. Neither Logan
last year nor Watson this year were
players out OF the ordinary individually.
but they were clear thinkers and they
had so thoroughly absorbed the Haugh-
ton system OF attack that they could go
through their championship games with
out making any mistakes Of Judgment.
Praise of Capt. Mahan is superhuous.
Before the season began the writer re-
ferred to him as a greater player than
former Capt. Brickely. II is true that
Mahan did not kick as many field goals
as Brickley, but he kicked them when
they were necessary. Not a field goal
was kicked against Yale. but when We
remember that prior to this game Har-
ward had not scored a touchdown against
the Ellis in the Harvard Stadium In
twelve years, we do not blame Mahan
for revelling IN them on this occasion.
Mahan was a wizard as an open field

schedules. II is true that this year.
as for three years running. Harvard
has. on the whole. outclassed both
Yale and Princeton, but unless the
latter two have considerable advan-
tage in strength they cannot expect
to play each other and Harvard on
consecutive Saturdays. while Harvard
enjoys a two weeks rest. The only
fair way out of the difficulty is for
Harvard and Princeton TO play each
other a week earlier and for Yale and
Harvard to play on Thanksgiving
Day.
Consider what happened this year
and how the schedule initiated
against both Yale and Princeton.
Harvard and Princeton played each
other on November and Harvard
was fortunate to win by the score Of
10 to g. without time to recover the
Princeton team played Yale on NO
vember - and was beaten Is to Z.
The Harvard game had taken all the
reserve strength out of Princeton. It
required a rest of three days and It
was then too late to do any strenu-
Gus work for the Yale game. While
this is no abb for Princeton it is .
fact that the Tigers were in a condi-
ton to become easily demoralized-
The result was that Princeton beat
herself
Under the same conditions Yale
went forth to meet Harvard. But the
Ellis had to stand on what they had
left over from the Princeton game.
which wasn't much. Harvard. in the
meantime. had only Brown to worry
about and substitutes for the most
part took care of the Providence
men. Coach Haughton had ample
time to let his men recover from the
Princeton game and to give them Just
enough hard work to put them on
edge for Yale.
Yale and Princeton cannot hope to
win against this combination. pro-
vided the three teams are otherwise
evenly matched. There was a time
when Yale could meet and usually de-
feat both Princeton and Harvard on
successive Saturdays. but this was
when Harvard was in the dumps ex-
perimenting with first one coaching
system and then another. But even
then Yale always aimed to have two
sets OF backs. one to use against
and the other against Har-
cause Yale was vastly superior to
both her rivals. ,
Now Yale realizes the inequality of the
arrangement. Last year 1t was suggested
from New Haven that Harvard should at
least consent to meet Yale on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, but the Crimson baked. Har-
ward. In fact. holds the whip hand. hut
Il is doubtful II Princeton and Yale will
long consent TO the present arrangement.
The only fair solution is to put the Har-
vard-Princeton game a week earlier.
which would allow Princeton two weeks
Tor the Yale battle. and then by schedul-
Ing Harvard and Yale on Thanksgiving
Day the Ellis would have twelve days be-
tween Princeton and Harvard. Such an
would enable Harvard to
take on another big team the day Prince !
ton and Yale play. The plan of allowing
TWO weeks between big games has been |
ried in the Middle West for several years
With complete success.

Many men are said to be self-taught.

ing of various kinds, but no matter
how many of these aids man may be
surrounded by, after all he must ac-
quire learning himself. Whether he is

or out of school, every man must
educate himself And in our times and
in this community every man has the
means of doing it.

of Martha may explain why she never
used that gift for name and fame.
Her reward for life's endeavors
was found in her children. They grew
to maturity useful to the world and a
delight to her. Though widely scatter
ed in their various careers, yet they all
met and were sheltered in the heart of
her tender motherhood And one was
on the sea, another in an army post
but her faith was as serene for their
IWell-being in the hands of Providence
as for the others whose lives were less
lexposed. Her children are Thomas J..
Boyd of Washington, La: Leroy s.
Boyd, employed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission of Washington, D..
c.; Capt. David F. Boyd, commander
of the battleship, Maryland, now at
San Francisco; Rev. Guy Boyd, Bap-
fist minister at Standard, La; Lieut..
Jesse Wright Boyd, U. s. A., stationed
on the Mexican border; and Mrs. w. L.
Fleming of Baton Rouge. Her life
finds it's completion in theirs.
A friend writing to her some weeks
ago, on her seventy-first birthday, and
seeking to find the fitting word for her,
quoted nearly all of the last chapter of
the book of Proverbs, that perfect de-
scription of the virtuous woman: "She
openeth her mouth with wisdom; and
in her tongue is the law of kindness.
Her children arise up and call her
blessed. Many daughters have done
Ivirtuously, but thou excellest them ALL
Give her of the fruit of her hands; and
let her own works praise her in the
gates" But even these sublime words
give an austere impression of that
benign being that lately moved on
earth as humbly as the humblest.
Rather let us picture her in these lines:
No one could to her presence come
Or look upon her face,
But suddenly he knew he stood
Within a Holy Place.
No one could hear her speak a word
Or listen to her sing,
But suddenly his soul would hear
The stir of angel-wing.
No one could see the glory shine
In her immortal eyes,
But that it made his soul look up
To see God in the skies.

Live Oak made one of the junction
points for the highway, whether
either the Tampa, east Florida or
Georgia route would be favored at
the convention.
F. O. Miller, State Highway Com
missioner, one of the welcoming COM
mittee at Jacksonville, declared that
Florida is now preparing to spend
Sc, 000, 900 on highways that will
connect up this section of Florida
with the other sections of the Gulf
Coast. He pointed out that it is clear
ly recognized that development of
this section is being retarded by lack
of highways over which the tourists
may come. The scout car party saw
one party turn back eastward a
few miles from jacksonville in Baker
County, having come across through
Georgia and started through Florida,
but, deciding against driving
through the heavy sand that forms
an almost impossible barrier for q
heavy car through much of this sec
ton of the state.
SUWANNEE AT WORK.
Suwannee County, Of which Live
Oak is the county seat, is hard at
work on its highway and promises
to complete it, mass meeting being
called for the scout party at that
point in order to have the project of
the Old Spanish Trail thoroughly ex-
planned and to put the boosters Of
the community at work on plans
that may bring to the Mobile con-
vention the proper support for the
Old Spanish Trail, whether it comes
by way of Georgia or Tallahassee,
or goes to Miami by way Of Jack
sonville or Tampa.
1t is declared in word from Tampa
that the west coast of Florida road
will compare favorably with the sec
ton of the Dixie Highway and the
National Highway lying in the coun-
ties close to Jacksonville.
SCHEDULE MAPPED OUT.
Owing to arrangements for meet
ings with highway enthusiasts in
eastern Florida and to maintain
schedule the scout party will rear
range its itinerary at Live Oak next
Friday at which time the schedule
for passing through Georgia and the
northern route of Florida and Ala
bama will be announced as nearly as
possible.
