days, and surprises were evident in
nearly every number.
MaxIm's Choice accounted for the
closing race when he easily defeated
Coralcan and Harhard.

plished through resting his men for
one day than by having them go to
work. He renewed practice today. but
the work for the remainder Of the
week will not be strenuous. It Is not
likely that any scrimmage will be
staged this week at all. The men are
not physically able to stand It, and 1t
is not believed that 1t would accom-
plish much at this stage.
The w. & J. undergraduates
showed what they thought of the
team yesterday when they gave the
Red and Black gridders a send-off
that could hardly have been, excelled
in enthusiasm IL they had defeated
Pitt on Saturday. The men were
praised for the grit they displayed
and the optimistic spirit that found
its outlet in rousing cheers OF get
'em next year" was prevalent every
where. All tho w. & ]. players were
able to get around today. although
several Of them win not likely got
into any practice this week. Ruble
others are not In shape to do much
work
Nuss, who was hurt in the Yale
game, and who was kept out OF the
Pitt clash on account OF these inju-
ries, Is rapidly recovering. and 1t Is
hoped that he will be able to make tho
trip to Richmond and enter tho game
with Washington and Leo. II he can
play he is likely to take Fain's place.
II Ruble does not shape UP for the
coming game. Crawford is likely to
replace him.
The experiment tried against Pitt
which placed Carroll at end Is likely
to remain permane as the Scottdale
boy played a good game at the end
Of the line, and he and Tressel. ac-
cording to Coach Warner, showed the
best terminal playing that has OPP
posed Pitt this year. Tho coaches
during the practice will endeavor to
stiffen up the line on the defense and
to perfect both the running attack
and the aerial game. It Is likely that

Who Lasts Longest?

What profiteth a man that he gain
TIE whole world yet lose his health?
Naturalists say that long ago the
prehistoric waters were infested with
d species of enormous shark which
finally became extinct by reason Of
the workings of its voracious appetite.
Thus nature eliminates the over-fed.
The desire for ease Of life and
plentiful diet is universal and is the
great stimulus Of man and animals
alike. When man becomes greedy and
takes more ease and food and drink
than is his share, nature discards him.
In the race for power and place,
for ease Of circumstance and relief
from the stimulus Of hunger, the mod
ern man is apt TO forget that unless
he is careful Of his body he will soon
be made TO suffer for the infraction
Of natures inexorable physical law.
