need know. The rest will take care
of itself because English is the COM

American pop, all lukewarm.

1t is said that the lack of linguistic

WRITER FRANK
ABOUT RUSH'S ELEVEN
BY H. C. Hamilton

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec. 21.-A frankness
that is admirable is expressed in
letter to the Princetonian, the college
publication at Princeton university, in
which the late lamented football team
coached by Speedy Rush is given
name that completely absolves Rush
from all blame. The writer says:
Last year our team was accused Of
being yellow and bunch of quit
Iters' this year it is termed an organi-
cation of mo brains The latter is
Undoubtedly the case. Our team was
la dumb team.
at is pretty hard for any coach or
set of coaches to instill brains into
a crowd of seniors. If they haven't
eot them they won't acquire them in
two months practice. The team lost
the Harvard game through lack of the
proper thought, and the Yale game a
week later for the same reason.
"While l want in no way to criti-
else the coaching, do think there was
q combination of the backficld that
could have overcome this weakness.
However, past is past the team lost.
Mr.. Rush lost also, partly due to his
own lack of experience, and partly and
r,ostly because he was dealing with
a bunch of boneheads who we're ut
terly at a loss to make a quick, in
telligent decision when the opportunity
o, esented itself. Too much Importance
cannot be laid upon teaching the play
ers of next years team to think for
themselves"
Without mentioning any names,
there are certain holdover members
OF Princeton's team who could take
this heart-to-heart talk to their own
hearts and do wonders for Old Mas
sau next fall. 1t is lamentable fact,
but none the less true, that the young
man who penned the missive to the
Princetonian whacked the old nail
s1uarely on its battered head. The
Harvard game was lost by poor think
ing, and the Yale game was lost for
the same reason.
Imagine a youth who plans to use
great deal of intelligence in over
coming this life's obstacles calling for
a forward pass with a football just
yearning to be pushed over a goal line
by straight rushing. That's just what
happened in each of these important
conflicts.
Speedy Rush had his problems with
this team of his last October and No
vember. He had team which, to

The second big rush of the contest
is expected tonight, when the bonus

After that hour it will require six
subscriptions to win the 10000 extra

votes for a given number of subscrip-

Four Weeks More.
''Who will win the big seven-pas-

to be asked these days, for the end
of the campaign is only four weeks
away and people are beginning to
realize that some candidate is going
to receive very handsome prize in a
short time, and that the big prize is
going to be won remarkably easily.
A new candidate could enter today
and, with only a few subscriptions,
gain lead for the chief prize today.
