IdANY SURPRISES
IN ANNUAL GAMES
Princeton Fails Victim to Bulldog :
Williams Overwhelmed Amherst
-Brunonians Trim Harvard.

Annual games brought about many
surprises IN college football Saturday.
Princeton, a decided favorite in it's an
aaal clash with Yale, fell victim to
the Bulldog. Williams, in its annual
clash with Amherst, overwhelmed its
old rival, as was expected Brown won
its first victory in its history over Har-
ward. Though the crimson sent a sub
stltutc eleven against Brown it is
thought that the Brunonians would
have defeated the Harvard regulars.
Dartmouth was held TO even terms by
West Virginia and Pittsburg barely
noscd out a l4-to-6 victory over Car
negie Tech. Colgate trimmed up Syr-
acuse and the Army had little trouble
from Springfield college. The outstand-
ing features of western football were
the victories of Chicago and Minnesota
over Illinois and Wisconsin. In the
South, Auburn was eliminated from the
race. Michigan, considered slight ia
vorite, was defeated by Penn.

at the time and they gave their first
attention to getting ont the boys who
had already gone to bed. These
escaped in their night clothing and
were given shelter in another building.
The fire started in the kitchen, one
theory being that towels which were
hanging in back of the stove became
ignited. Before it was discovered the
fire had worked its way into the attic
and was beyond control.
The school fire apparatus which i
handled by the the boys was at once
brought into action and the city fire

BURLINGTON, Nov. 20. = A pro
visional gift Of 100000 to the Univer-
sity of Vermont from Gen. Rush G..
Hawkins of New York was announced
by Pres Guy Potter Benton last night.
The sum is promised on condition
that the institution raise an additional
100000. Pres. Benton stated that the
required amount would be at hand in
a short time, but he would not say
from what source.
Gen. Hawkins names several needs
in building and equipment now existing
in the university. The institution, he
says, requires an auditorium to seat
at least 1000, additional stack room at
Billings library, an adequate working
library for the medical college, an adj
dition to or new building for the
present college of engineering. double
the present space or a new building for
science courses. He adds that ''to do
what is actually necessary for con-
venience, standing and present use,
100000 is required
For several years past Gen. Hawkins
has been accommodating at the Univer-
sity library gift of books known as
1.-THE Hawkins Civil War Addition to
the Library now numbering be
tween 5000 and 1000 volumes. 1t is
the best collection of Civil war litera-
tue in any institution of learning in
America, with the exception of the
one at Princeton.

Ing to those IN charge, the Brush stadi-
um will have a record breaking crowd.
Many football men regret that the
lattle between Uncle Sans service
schools will conflict with the Harvard
Yale game. Naturally thousands Of
fans who are interested ia these
eleyens want to see both games. Sew
cral attempts have been made to avoid
this unfortunate clash ia dates. but
neither side viii yield an inch. Orig
inully the Arny-Nsyy game was play
ed on the Saturday following Thanks
giving which mddc it possible to have
clean field for Harvard and Yale, but
for some reason West Point and An
mpOlfs have grown tired of this ar
rangemeut they selected the date for
this years combat with their eyes wide
open. evidently feeling that the clash
with Harvard and Yale would not in
terfere with the attendance in the
Brush stadium.
As q matter Of fact. the Harvard
Yale contest will not afford much in
terest for the followers Of the Army
and Navy The New Haven game will

Harvard and Yale adherents The

hand, will attract crowd which is
wholly III sympathy with those arms

care much Tor intercollegiate tests So
that. while sOuic persons must he dis
appointed, the conflict on Nov. - will
not reduce the attendance and receipts
of either game
The Army aud Navy elcyens are not
easily compared The Navy has ex-
hibitcd nothing wonderful in the early
games, and the Army has won handily
and without being extended. One i'm
portant point stands out, and that is
the Army has a backtiald which will
compare favorably with any in the
couatry. Oliphant is playing another
dashing game. which makes him a
leading candidate for national atten-
tlon. Alongside of him there are five
or six others who have proved of ines
Unable value. A number of experts
say IL looks like another Army year.
The Navy last year suffered greatly
during the early stages Of the season
but rounded Into championship form
Just before the Army struggle.
The results of early season games
have little bearing Success or failure
for the Army and Navy hangs on the
big game OF the season, and every
thing is sacrificed to this end For
that reason It is harder to analyze the
situation and draw reasonable con
clusiOn.
SO far as experience goes, West
Point has every advantage. No less
than six Of the eleven men who won o

eleven does not boast OF many vet

UndeserYed Criticism

The General Conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church, in session at Saratoga, n. Y,
acted sensbly in referring to the committee
on resolutions without debate a resolution criti-
csing President Wilson for Having restored the
use OF intoxicating wines on state occasions at
White House functions"
There are two good reasons why conference
OF ministers OF the Gospel should not adopt
such d resolution In the first place the aIlega-
ton is not true, and church people should be the
last to condemn any man on false assumptions
President Wilson has not restored" the use Of
wines on state occasions at White House func-
tlons. The custom began with President WASH
ington and has never been Abandoned except
by one President forty years ago That was in
the Hayes administration, and the old custom
was revived by President Garfield. 1t has con-
tlnued ever since with such men as Clcvelard
Harrison, Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft, all good
church men, in the White House. President
Wilson simply declined to abandon an old and
honored custom that has prevailed for more
than a century, though his first Secretary OF
State made grape juice the favorite beverage
at his table when entertaining foreign diplomatic
representatives.
The reasons governing President Wilson and
his predecessors should govern those who aGvo.
cate extreme temperance laws The President
is not a private entertainer at state functions
He is the representative Of the nation, enter
tanning the representatives OF foreign nations
and he chooses to entertain them as thcy are
entertained by other nations. The temperance
views and practices of Woodrow Wilson have
nothing to do with White House functions The
Methodist Conference will no doubt allow this
foolish resolution, based on untrue premises. to
remain in a pigeonhole Of the committee on
resolutions and be forgotten
