death she had reused herself, smiled and
three times murmured, 'Davy. Davy,

At the time of this telepathic expe-
renee of mine my mind was intensely
preoccupied with my professional AFFAIRS
and cares incident thereto. My mother
was to be sure. an old woman and
was always solicitous about her. But

her l did not know that her condition
was critical and had no reason to ex-
pect her demise at that time. | had
on many other occasions been troubled
in mind about her without experiencing
anything phenomenal. But on the very
night when she died and within a few
hours of that event, when physically
very weary and with my mind full of
theatrical matters and responsibilities.

assure and comfort me against the be-
reavement of her death, news of which

Maurice Maeterlinck says here:

is the most profound truth and signifi-

Kant: 1.-The death of the body Is the
end of the sensational use Of the mind,
hut only the beginning of the intellectual
use SO the body Is not the cause OF

strictive thereof II is really an impeder

RUTGERS NOW PREPARING
FOR GAMES WITH VIRGINIA

NEW BRUNSWICK, Oct. IL. -
Smarting under her 80 defeat ad-
ministered by Lehigh at South Beth
lehem last Saturday. the Rutgers
football team has settled down to an
intensive week of training In
preparation for finishing her schedule
of home games. both of which will
be with elevens from Virginia, al
though the Scarlet eleven will also
meet the University of Nebraska at
the Polo Grounds, New York City,
on election day. The Virginia Poly
eleven, which is to be met here next
Saturday, is composed of a group OF
hard fighters and a stiff contest IS
expected.
To the end that they will be able
to turn the invaders back with a
defeat, the Rutgers team will put In
a hard week. similar to the past two.
The Lehigh conflict clearly demon
strated that the team needed to spend
more time on the aerial game, as
very few passes were worked success
fully. Defensively Rutgers showed
more strength against the forward
pass.
The one bright spot in the downfall
of the Scarlet last Saturday was the
plunging of Gardner through the
line. Repeatedly he made good
gains. While the line is stronger
than it was in the early games, more
improvement is necessary.

EVANS DENIES TRACK TEAM
WILL Be ORGANIZED

Harold Evans, physical director of
boys athletics at the Perth Amboy
High School, stated yesterday after
noon that there was nj truth In n
announcement that a high school
track team would be organized or
that a representative high school
team would compete in the field meet
at Montclair today. He also denied
that the men will represent n
crimson and white on the basketball
court this veal would play with
an independent team previous to the
opening of the regular varsity basket
ball season.
The coach declared that the re-
gular field or track meet season is in
the spring, and that at this time OF
the season there is only a field meet
here or there. but this is not the
real reason. He further stated that
high school boys have not secured
Rufus Allen to coach their team, but
that a number of boys from the high
school were training with the Y. Nj.
II. A. director and his regular class
at the r. c. w. field.
Nothing definite was secured from
the coach in regard. to an entry in
the meet this afternoon, outside of
the fact that no entries from this
school would be allowed to take part
in the three interscholastic events
without his consent.
In regard to basketball the direc-
tor stated hat no one but himself
picks the basketball team, and the
statement that the members who
would in all probability make up the
high school varsity team would play
with the independent team, is there
fore wrong. he claims. Coach Evans
stated that once a practice session
is called all the candidates who take
part in this practice are not allowed
to play with any outside team, or If
they do, they will be thrown out of
the squad trying for a place on the
representative school team
Rufus Allen stated yesterday after
noon that he was at the Copper
works field on various afternoons for
the purpose of training his Y. M. III.
A. athletes. Some high school boys
spend their time practicing on the
field. and others also are welcomed
to come, the "Y" director declared,
but he stated he is not DESTROYS of
making the public or anyone else
believe he Is training an independent
high school team.

or more of outstanding prominence
and unassailable integrity.
Ex-President Taft, General Per-

that the ousting of Ban Is part OF
the plan.
Perhaps Ban ought to be ousted.
but it's not an easy job.
1t ought not to be impossible for
the owners to clean up the game
themselves instead of hiring a lot Of
outsiders for the job.
The magnates haven't been selling

unless a crowd of four thousand peo-

people did not pay admission to the
