used az reference to the moderate use Of
liquors, equally applies to eating and

promulgated as we'll as against the Pagan
world today.

Hardest Work Is Done
For Princeton Eleven

PRINCETON. N. j., Nov. 8.-with
only about three more scrimmages
before the Harvard game, Princeton's
hardest practice for the year is over.
Unless some one is hurt in one of
those workouts, the Nassau team will
face Harvard with only one varsity
man, Eberstadt, unable to play. He
is recovering from his injury and may
be able to appear against Yale.
Bucknell did not prove so strong an
opponent as might have been wished
for just before the big games, but
Coach Rush was better satisfied with
Princeton's play than in the Dart
mouth game week ago. Moore's re-
turn to the lineup has caused gem
eral sigh of satisfaction among the
coaching stan. He Is one Of the fast.
est men playing football in the East.
and his speed IL expected to count
against Harvard and Yale.
The team will probably start for
Cambridge on Friday, stopping or
somewhere on the way for a prac-
tice. With Eddy to run the team and
run back punts. briggs and Tibbott
to kick, and these three. with Moore,

ule. 1t is felt here that the present
schedule is too strenuous and. further
more. does not provide the proper OPP
position to bring forward the Ell eleven
for its championship games with Prince
ton and Harvard.
Colgate and Washington and jefferson
rely almost wholly on forward passing.
though the former did some line rush
ing Saturday, but the wiseacres of Ell
football strategy believe that other
elevens would do the Yale team more
good at this time OF the year.
Next Saturdays contest with Brown
should provide another bitter test for
the Blue. The Providence eleven has
yet to meet defeat and the manner In
which II disposed OF the strong Rutgers
teams shows danger ahead for the Ellis.

AMATEUR|SM AGAIN
MUST Be DEFINED
Today's Sportorial Discusses
the Common Sense Of Pro-
fessionaIism in Sport.
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Just what constitutes an amateur In
sport has long been a profound mystery
but the A. A. L. comes forth with the
best definition seen In many day
when 1t says that IAN amateur Is one
who engages In sport solely for the
pleasure and physical. mental or social
benefits he derives therefrom. and to
whom sport is nothing but an avoca-
ton"
After all Is said and done. the above
definition of an amateur is about as
good as can be found. but II doesn't
cover the situation in many lines OF
sport. Taken on its face, a football
player who engages in game SOLELY
for the pleasure" may not be branded
a professional. IL one of the opposing
team, or one on his own side happens
to be a professional. The same thing
applies to q baseball player on a col
lego team facing a major league team.
But, as a matter of fact. the football
player In this case would be declared
professional and the baseball player
would not.
We Americans the world over are
credited with being "clever in taking
advantages OF technicalities." We prove
1t by our attitude on amateur athletics.
A golfer. like Francis ouimet. is de-
clared a professional because he con-
ducts a sporting goods store that sells
golf supplies. Another. like Travers
who Is landscape artist laying out
golf links, Is an amateur.
A track athlete competing In a race
with professional loses his amateur
status, but n member of the Yale base
ball team playing against the New
York Giants remains an amateur.
The Washington times., 1916-11-06
. Another Angle.

And yet last spring Tommy Mccarthy
was barred from playing in an amateur
golf tourpament because he had once
been a professional baseball player. This
is to laugh.
Here's the best rule OF amateurism-
bar from any amateur sport any man
who has accepted money for performing
In that sport. That's all.
This would keep Ty Cobb or a COLLEGE
football eleven. This would bar n pro-
fessional golfer from playing In an
amateur tournament, This would bar a
professional basketball player from
playing with an amateur five. This
would put some common sense into
things sadly In need OF 1t.
It's the old and original situation OF
the more laws surrounding anything.
the more chances there are of shatering
those laws. If mother were to put out
two jars OF jam on the able, Tommy
would turn up his nose at them. But
they're on the shelf. and so ne climbs
up and gets caught stealing II.
