In New York I2-year-old schoolgirl leaped
from the hfth-story window of her home and killed
herself because she was not advanced from one
grade to another. This is, of course, an unusual
case, but the fact has frequently been demonstrated
in other ways that too much importance is at
tached to the matter of school promotions in the
of young children when they are made to feel
humiliation and disgrace because OF failure.

THE CHOICE.

Wouldst thou have sunshine in thy soul,
Or in the darkness grope?
The choice is in thine own control,
'Twixt grim Despair and Hope.
Despair ne'er led our steps to light,
For darkness is her pelf,
And all her ways are ways of night,
But Hope is light herself.

Benedict also got a field

ball over. Benedict also got a field goal Second string men got chance on the Varsity yesterday, Shiverick, Ryerson and Mueller not playing at all and Benedict, Hoffman, and Mueller going in for part time service only. Bretz, playing quar- terback, took advantage of his oppor- tunity to make a number of rattling runs, one of them a twenty-yard burst through the line for a touch down in which he displayed good on several occasions held the Varsity. Ellsworth and Zander played fairly well at ends, but the most noticeable feature of the end play is the inn provement shown by NIIoff, a recruit from last years freshman team. Fay Tor, big sophomore, made a good impression at left guard, where he subbed for Miller. The coaches this year are developing a seco1d team that promises to be good enough to keep the Varsity on the jump all of the time.
 Tilley, one of the men remaining g over from last fall, donned togs to- day and began to get into condition. He will work out lightly for few days before trying to get into the line up.

Few Eli Regulars Out.

New Haven, Oct. 18.-Although Head Coach Tad Jones ordered the Yale eleven through brisk scrim- mage practice of twenty minutes yes- terday afternoon, most of the first string players were still suffering from the effects of the strenuous Le- high game of last Saturday. Captain Black, Baldridge, Galt, Smith, Com erford and Gates were pronounced by Trainer Mack as still unfit for daily scrimmaging, although most of them expect to line up against Virginia Polytechnic Institute. on Friday.
 The injury to- the. hand of Galt has been. found to be 8 fractured small bone. Captain Black has a bruised ankle and Tackle Sheldon was moved to his position at left guard Rose ner, the former end, replacing Galt at right guard. Quarterback Smith was not in uniform, but followed the play in the field.
 Jack Vorys, the second eleven cen ter, was injured and will be out of the play the remainder of the week Callahan's showing at center for the regulars strengthened his chances of being the permanent selection. Jim Braden began the scrimmaging at fullback and carried the ball in most of the ground gaining which led to the first touchdown, but was winded by 8 severe tackle and retired
 Jacques, who succeeded him, car ried the ball across for the first touchdown. After the Varsity had put the ball in play at it's five-yard line and had covered the entire nine ty-fve yards in short gains, Jacques again swept across the scrub goal line for the second touchdown. For the final touchdown the Varsity e. ceived the ball at the scrubs 15-yard line and Legore, on the sixth down carried the oval across for the third score of the afternoon. Frank Lynch, the former Exeter and Yale freshman end, was used as Varsity end yesterday for the first time this season. Because of an injury to his hand. received during the summer vacation, he did not participate ir scrimmage practice until two week: ago. L
 The lineup was as follows: Lief end, Moseley; left tackle, Fox; lief guard, Sheldon; center, Callahan right guard, Rosener; right tackle Taft: right end, Lynch; quarterback La Roche: left halfback, Bingham right haIfback, LegOre; fullback, Bra den and Jacques

many who expect him to be one of the star men in the Princeton backfield, but it is thought that he may have had an off day.
 Dave Tibbott took the position at left halfback, as Moore is still kept from practice by his injury. Tibbott surplanted Eberstadt, who has been filling the position for nearly two weeks. He will probably hold the position until Moore gets back into condition, when it is probable that the latter will again take his position. Tibbott's ability in dropkicking, how ever, makes him valuable man in the backfield.
 Rush is still drilling the Princeton players on forming interference for the runner and then making effective use of it after they have it. There 1 was also a long drill in this depart
 ment of the game today.

HARVARD VARSITY'S
 DEFENSE IMPROVES
Coaches We'll Satisfied With Pro- :. gr0sS, Squad Is Still Depleted

Cam bridge, Mass, Oct. 1S.-Al- though the Harvard coaches had far from their full complement of play CTS, the expected drive in the Stadium started in earnest yesterday afternoon. There was an hours scrlmmaSe De- tween the best Varsity team avail able and the scrubs, the regulars showing l lot of speed in their attacl< and scoring five touchdoWns. Inc scrubs had the ball often but made little headway. All together, the coaches regarded the practice as one of the most satisfactory the Crimson Varsity has had from defensive standpoint for some time.
 It it noticeable that Percy Haugh- ton is resolved to get his flrst-strlnS men back into first-class shape before submitting them to any hard toot- ball. Yesterday afternoon Cahel played at tackle for the hrst time Ill ten days, but was soon sent to the sidelines, Richards, who only recent ly returned from the hospital, taking his place. Batchelder worked TOT time at tackle on the left wing, but Wheeler, the old Worcester Academy star, did most of the work.
 CaDtaln DaOnun although loI III the best of trim himself insists on Keeping in the game all the time and did not give way to Dean, big fel- low who recently was brought up from guard from the scrubs. All of the first-string backs got into the play with the exception of Flower and Bond. Minot, whose kicking is much needed on the team, showed wei come improvement in running With the ball both through the line and around the end. He made two of the touchdowns today, Horween and Casey getting one each, and Gaston, one of the substitute ends, scoring on a forward pass.
 The pratcice was a regular game except that the Varsity, to start the play and after each touchdown, re- ceived the ball in the middle of the field for scrimmage. The forwards looked better. than at any time last week and the line players are surely improving under the hard coaching. Most of the cripples came down to the field today but there is no chance for men like Taylor, Clark. Snow and Sweetser to get into this weeks game, according to Trainer Donovan.

The AU-Star Back,

With the passing. in turn, of Thorpe, Prickley, Hardwick, Mahan and Bar rett the best all-arOund backfeld star of the Eastern span this season locks to be Harry Le Gore, of Yale.
 Le Gore should reach great heights this season. He has not only fine speed and great power, but also most Of the ricks of the baclf1eld trade Few can use the straight-arm with more telling effect, and when this play isn't in order his side-stepping lodging qualities will meet the occa- sion.

fore to show anywhere near his top form. Mahan, on a weak eleven would have been good, but hardly great. A back may be as fleet and swift as the autumn wind, but if he is nailed before he starts his speed goes for nothing.
 Le Gore has a far better team around him than he had two years ago; and before the year is over Le Cores place in football will be written in the general vicinity of the top.

Soon there comes a deadly qulet To the campus, dull and drear; Ended then the raucous riot Of the foeman in the fray; But a breeding pail will hover And the laurel turn to moss. When the halfback tackles Horace And is thrown back for a loss. Now the fullback rushes gayly Through the dazed opposing team; And he gains his distance daily As he dashes under steam; But he shudders at the future, With his system all a-Wreck, Where the festive elder Pllny Does a war dance on his neck. Where the quarterback now dashes Through the thickest of the fray, You may shudder at the clashes Of the fOeman in the in the fray; Though you think the game is brutal As pastime it will pail To the agony that follows When Catullus takes the ball.
