GLOOM AT HARVARD.
Defeat by Cornell Still Felt in Ranks
of Crimson.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, October 90
There was not very much optimism no.
ticed about the Harvard foot ball camp
yesterday afternoon. for the defeat by
Cornell was not expected by the var
sity. The coaches took occasinon to go
over the mistakes made by the team in
the game, and this retrospect was not
very pleasant. ~.. -
Percy Haughton had his men in the
blackboard room a long time before
sending them to the base ball cage for
signal drill, there being nothing except
some late kicking practice in the stad-
ium. owing to the progress of the track
meets. All the players who partici-
pated In the Cornell game reported but
only five Of them took any part in the
practice. the others not even putting
on their foot ball clothes. Radman and
Cowen were the only linemen in the
drill, with Watson again at quarter
back. Gamer, Taylor and Whitney all
did some work. There were no serious
injuries in the Cornell game.

all the more likely following two such

their big home game Saturday. st.
Johns has been printing to meet the
the strongest team that has represent
ed it since the fall of 1912.
The game is sure to be one Of the
hardest fought Of the year. as there is
no doubt that the two elevens are more
powerful than the average. The Farm
ers naturally will want to win on their
first appearance in the series for the
state title. and all the more SO since
them and st. Johns for many years. St.
Johns, without it's captain and quarter

the score would indicate, and 1t is
coming to College Park this year with
a determination to avenge the defeat
sustained at the hands Of the Farmers

not going to be an easy team to beat
this week by any means. The An
napolis eleven has the same backfleld
as that which wore its colors last year,
with the exception of Bowen. and its
line has been made stronger by the &C

The Aggies are not an easy eleven to

YALE ATHLETES MAY

Coach Tommers and Capt Middle
brook of Base Ball
Team to Act.

NEW HAVEN. October 2s.-Rumors
were current last night that the case
of the Ave Yale men who have been
disqualified for playing summer base
ball would be reopened by reason of
the announcements made by Capt. Mid
diebrook and Coach Tommers of the
base ball nine. declaring that they
were responsible for the act of the

The Yale athletic officials asserted
that the players were disqualified with
no string attached, and that they knew
of no movement looking toward their
reinstatement. 1t was believed on the
campus that the statements of Middle
brook and Tommers paved the way for
reinstating the players. A formal re-
quest has been received from Harvard
that they be allowed to play again.
Want New Committee.
The Yale Daily News said that a de-
siraSle movement would be the forma-
ton OF an eligibility committee COM
posed OF representatives of the Prince

bility cases instead of leaving them to
the eligibility committees of these uni

Legore was not at Yale Field yester-
day. but said that he would remain on
the eleven of ineligibles who are play
ing against the varsity in scrimmage
practice.

The Greatest Living Floridian

Some time ago, Editor Powell of
the Clearwater Sun, asked, who is
the greatest living Floridian?' and
on the Herald inquiring whether he
meant man or woman, he answered,
Either" Since then, the Herald
las pondered the question enough
to find that it is very difficult to an
swer it, unless the propounder there
of will define exactly what he means
by sreatness and also Floridian. If
we take the term Floridian to in
clude any person who has been a
resident of Florida for 20 years or
lonscl and the word greatness to en-
brace all the cardinal virtues, we
may make a start toward conelus-
ion.
We doubt, however. if any one
person in this or any other State
possess a composite character en-
virtues. A man may be great in one
respect anr deficient in all others :.
Napoleon. for example. in a military
sense was the greatest man OF his
age; and, in the present day, if one
were asked, Who is the greatest

easy.
