Charlottesville expected has hap
pened. With the announcement that
the Winston-Salem club will not finish
it's schedule the North Carolina
League closed it's 1917 season. The
directors met at once to wind up the
affairs of the league.
When Raleigh and Ashevf1le drop
ped out about two weeks ago, It was
then thought that the other four clubs
would never finish the season. Lack
of attendance on account of war con
ditions was noticeable throughout the
league and for several days it has been
a question of just a few more games
The Twins and Hornets have been los
ing money every day. So has Durham.
Greensboro, with winning club and
the heavy sale of season tickets, had
enough cash to continue the season.

Soy Beans Good as Steak.

Mr.. &. b. Williams, chief of the di.
vision of agronomy, states that there
Is a great increase this year in the
acreage devoted to soy beans in the
state. This Is as it should be, and
our people should see to it that some
OF these beans are saved at the end
OF the season for food purposes.
Soy beans are much richer in pro-
te1n than. lima beans or sirloin steak.
IN TACT they contain practically double
the amount of protein contained by
these two staple food products. The
soy beans contain about the same
amount of fat or oil that is contained
in sirloin steak, and more than ten
times the amount of this constituent
than is contained in lima beans. The
fuel value of soy beans as a food
product is slightly higher than sirloin
steak and lima beans. DR.. W. A.
Evans, president of the American Pub.
lie Health Association, has stated that
for men who are engaged in hard
manual labor, whore they burn up a
lot of their tissues in the effort, will
find soy beans as suitable as steak as
a fuel.
Because of the possibilities in the
use of the soy bean as a food product,
the following recipes is given for the
information of those who are interest
ed in the more extended use of this
rich nutritious food product when
properly handled:
Soak the beans in a 10 per cent.
common salt solution over night.
Then drain off the salt water and
roast the beans in an oven or a peanut
rooster.
In roasting exercise great care that
the beans are not scorched, as this
would impart bitter taste to the
beans. Watch from time to time,
and when the coty1edons begin to turn
brown remove from the oven.
Other recipes can be obtained by
writing to C. B. Williams, Extension
Division, A. & E., Raleigh, N. G.

period French caught long forward
heave by Gilroy. of Exeter, at the Yale
10-yard line and ran 80 yards for a

Stevens Beat
Aviators in
First Period

The warriors from the air station at
Bayshore met defeat at the hands OF
the Stevens eleven yesterday, losing by
a score of % to at Hoboken.
The engineers launched a terrific
drive at the start Of the game that
gave them all Of their points. The
aviators, who outweighed their rivals
in both the backfield and the line,
crumpled before Stevens dazzling at
tack.
The naval air station eleven, COM
posed of such players as Sears, Of
Michangan, the all-American fullback
of 1908; Roberts, Of Yale, and Capwell,
of the University of Pittsburgh. all OF
whom were crack players on their re-
spective college teams, were no match
for Coach McGall's well trained ath-
letes. The lack of training OF the
navy men was shown in the first quar-
ter. wher Stevens made the first score
Of the game on two fumbles by the
aviator
When the navy men we're held for
downs and decided to kick, Taylor
passed the ball over Capwells head.
The latter recovered the ball, but lost
fifteen yards on the play. This play
was repeated, and this time Stevens
nailed the aviators behind the goal
line for safety.
The first touchdown Of the game was
made by Goodale, the crack fullback Of
Stevens, when he caught kick at mid
field and by a splendid zigzag run Of
fifty yards crossed the line and left
the entire navy team sprawled out be
hind him. Roberts then kicked off 70
the Stevens 25-yard line. Deghnee
rushed the ball back twenty yards.
Then Bloss skirted the Aviators' left
end for gain of twenty yards more.
Here the navy line weakened, and by
series Of line plunges by Ford the
engineers added another touchdown 10
their list.
Again Roberts kicked OF to the Ste
vens l0-yard line. only 70 have the
ball rushed back to the centre Of the
field. From this point. by combina-
tion of line plunges and end runs, Lord
again carried the ball over the line

Harvard Wins, 1910;
Horween Elected

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. 20.-Tudor
Gardiner, Harvard's star tackle Of 1911,
brought his 1st Maine Field Artillery
team down from Camp Bartlett, Vest
field, this afternoon to play a game
against the Harvard varsity for the
benefit OF the American Red Cross.
There were more than $4,000 spec
tators, including $500 regulars and
Harvard's radio and infantry regi-
ments.
The game was red hot affair, Har-
ward winning, 13 TO 0. The soldiers
were outrushed about yards TO J.
Harvard, after Horween had made a
few short gains, got its first score on
twenty-yard run by Whitney, its left
end, who caught a forward pass that
Grosscup threw over the middle Of the
scrinmage.
The second touchdown was made al
most within the last minute of play.
Harvard, receiving poor punt on
Names 40-yard line, again advanced
steadily, but could not make the plunge
for a touchdown, losing the ball again
only few inches from the Maine goal.
Maine then attempted 10 kick, but
Woods broke through and beat down
the ball and Rudman fell on il for
Harvard's second score. Harvard in
sixty-three plays to-day gained 26l
yards and Maine gained forty-seyen
yards in twenty plays. Arnold Hor-
ween, OF last years freshman team, to-
day was elected varsity captain to sue
ceed Bill Snow, who at the eleventh

Rutgers Eleven
Beats Lafayette
In Easy Fashion

EASTON. Penn. Oct. 20-For the
first time this year, the Lafayette stu
dents rose in the stands at the end OF
a football game and sang the Alma
Mater" for their football team had
fallen and Rutgers was victorious by
the score 33-7.
Il was just eighteen years ago that
Rutgers played Lafayette the last time,
and then the Eastonians were the win
ners. The students who sang the swan
song over the defeat did so in good
part to-day. for it was the better team
that won the game-better in every
way.
From the time the two teams ap-
peared on the field for the preliminary
practice il was evident that the big,
reasoned, woodworking aggregation
In scarlet jerseys would defeat the 1T
tie green team that wore the Maroon
and White. In the play of the Lafay-
ette contenders, however, there was
nothing to indicate that they acknowl-
edged the superiority OF Rutgers.
Rutgers Much Superior
With the opening plays the prowess
of the New Brunswick aggregation was
still further evidenced. After compar-
atively few line plunges, drives outside
Of tackle and shift plays, Baker shot
across the line for the first touchdown.
In the second period series OF sue
cessful forward passes in which Whlte,,
hill did the throwing and Kelly ana
Gardner did the receiving formed the
nucleus for another score. This con-
cluded the touchdowns for Rutgers IN
the first half.
In the second, however, the New
Brunswick aggregation were even more
effective against the Eastonians. Three
times their goalward marches cul-
minated in touchdowns. Lafayette was
unable to hold the ball for any ap-
preciable length of time when they did
get it on a kick. II was Gargen, Robe
son. Whitehill and Kelly who were
ploughing through Lafayette continu-
ally.
Sigol Lafayette Hero
There is Lafayette side of the
story. 1t was a play in the second
period which stands out as the brilliant
individual accompl plishment of the after
noon. On kick Lafayette got the
ball on her 35-yard line. Sigol tooL
i it on delayed pass. He drove through
a hole in the centre Of the Rutgers
team, sdestepped the secondary de,
fence as they lunged toward him and
was away.
At midfeld he evaded the long arms
OF Robson and left the big fellow
sprawling on the turf. On he tore 10
the goal line At the 25-yard line
Baker began to close in on him. On
the 5-yard mark Baker made his dive
The flying mass shot forward and both
men were over the goal line when they
stopped rolling and Lafayette had
scored.
