Only Maryland state and CoIumb ia
EI~vens Remain to he Played.

With less than two weeks before the
close Of the football season. the New
York University eleven returned to prac-
tice yesterday with increased vigor.
Only the Maryland State and the Column
bia games remain to be played. In the
%scr!mmage Capt. Bernstein showed up AS
the star both on the offensive and the de-
fensive. On one occasion he caught a
punt on the 40 yard line and raced
through the whole scrub team for a
touchdown. Hammerschlag also made
some sensational runs.
Howard ann was again tried at call
ing the signals. Ted Cam was shifted
from the backfeld to the line. Hammer
schlag flled In at halfback and Horigan

COlumbia Not SO Had,

Reports that Columbia had the worst
scoring record in the country are not
true. After considerable digging We
have unear.hed two even more unpro-
life a~ggregat!ons. While Columbia has
scored two touchdowns for thirteen
points in six games, 81. Jnhn's College
OF Annapolis and Washington College
OF Maryland have made only one
touchdown each. However. Columbia
has held the opposition to a total Of
only IS points and has won one game.

Fraternity's Claims Few.

The association found much encour-
agement from the fact that OF the twen-
ty-fve leagues which started the season
tw~enty-three completed their schedules.
Only one league. OF Class y rating. was
forced to disband. while one league was
disqualified. Twenty-six minor leagues
make up the membership OF the National
Association. but the Canadian League
did not operate because Of war condi-
lions.
Farrell's report showed that the TWEEN
ty-six leagues which qualified for mem
bership In the Natlona! Association last
spring embraced 1872 cities and towns In
the United States and Canada and em-
ployed 4.T2s players.
During the year 1903 optional agree
ments were exercised on National As
ISOLATION clubs by the major leagues,
while So optional agreements were exer-
cised within the association by leagues
OF higher classification on smaller
leagues. During the year 2.05l minor
league players were released. $50 sus-
pended and 1853 reinsta;ed.
The total number of disputed cases
handled by the association during the
year was 5jg. and Farrell reports SEA
$50 was collected in players claims and
territorial liens and paid to the players
without any cost to them, Only six
claims were fled on ;he association by

LUCK IN FOOTBALL

WHITE PROVED THEORY
ny NELSON VI. opt" WAY.
trnmous Vale Football PIayer.D

Vale Football
New Haven. Conn, Nov. IA do not
believe that there IL any such thing as
luck in the game Of football. but that
the breaks which often determine the
result of n game come rather fror, hard.
aggressive playing than from any hap
hazard occurrence. There are a hun
dred and one different breaks every year
referred to as luck. which In reality can-
not be attributed TO nance.
The fact that a man picks up a
fumbled bail and. runs for a touchdown
does not signify luck but rather that he
was on the ball. The dropping OF a ball
when going over for a touchdown does
not prove n man unlucky. but that he
either did not carry the ball properly or
the opposing team tackled so vfctously
hat he was forced to drop the pigskin.
The team able to follow the ball closely
and gather up every tumble OF the OPP
ponents and at the same time hang onto
the ball themselves has a great advan-
tage over their a~dversaries. Probably
the best illustration of the value OF fol-
lowing the ball is offered by reviewing
the career of Sam White of Princeton.

II seemed Sam was wasting a lot or

fortunate he would be able to put this
art 10 use only once in a lifetime. Never
theless sam continued to run after the
elusive pigskin until he could pick 1t up
easily and quickly no matter how II
bounced.
When It came 20 the first big game OF
the season against Harvard In 1911 the
work Of the fast Tiger end resulted In a
victory for Princeton by the score OF
q to 6. The man who had been prac-
Using for 1t picked up a punt that had
been blocked ard ran nlnety-hve yards
for n touchdown.
According TO the sentiments OF the
ma jority sam had his one chance or a
lifetime. Nevertheless on returning to
the jungle town he resumed his stunt OF
chasing a loose ball about the field.

His success was due to his confidence
in what he was doing. He de yeloped
an almost instructive power for follow
ing the ball, and he gained great skill
in picking It up. Putting the two things
together you have Sam White continu-
