The athletic association at West
Point and Annapolis have taken all
the other tickets, matter Of 50 900
in all, and while the graduate bodies
OF West Point and Annapolis do not
approach those Of Yale or Harvard
or Princeton, political connections
more than make up for this
There is no Representative, Senar
tor, bureau official or any one with
political leanings who is not going
to demand, and in many instances
receive tickets for this game, which
will be played at the Polo Grounds
this year.
The service clash long has been
an exclusive political outing. There
Is even one classic story about
a Western Congressman VINO wrote
to both West Point and Annapolis
officials and demanded twenty-five
free tickets for this game when
high officials of the land were clam
oring to place real money down Tor
just one pair of tickets. This hap
pened few years ago. and. Of
course, drew a sour laugh rom the
Army ana Navy.
The general public takes q keen
interest in the service game be-
cause. It Is uni Ike the ordinary
university, being representative Of
two arms Of the Federal Govern
ment, and this being land where
representative government Is sup
posed to prevail. General Public
himself looks upon Army and
Navy elevens as Of his own blood.
But his paternal feeling doesn't
get him into the game.
Some years ago, when the Army
Navy game was being played each
year at the Polo Grounds, which
then had the greatest seating ca
pacity of any stadium hereabollts
for this contest, Army and Navy Of
ficials used to excuse the barring Of
the general public on the plea that
limited accommodations made this
necessary, and that If the day ever
came when larger stadia were avail
able the public would be welcomed.
That day arrived within the last
couple of years.

In the middle West and out on
the West coast, the situation re-
manned unchanged, although several
big ten regulations were furnished.
In addition, the South lost several
games and much prestige, Centre
College and Georgia Tech being bad
~ worsted by Pennsylvania and
Notre Dame, respectively.
California, however, maintained
its domination over the coast situa-
ton by beating Washington State
while Stanford was finishing second
to Southern California.
Notre Dame, Michigan, Illinois,
Chicago and Wisconsin remained at
the top Of the heap in the middle
West, the first three named being
the outstanding elevens. Chicago
lost prestige when it entered tho
second half one touchdown behind
Purdue, and the Badgers proved
they were not as irresistible as early
season scores would indicate when
they were held to scoreless tie by
Minnesota, making its 1923 confer
ence debut.
In the South, the most noteworthy
effort was credited to Vanderbilt,
the Commodores shaking off the
effect of the Texas defeat in time
to run up seventeen points on
Tulane. The result Of the game
placed Texas several Jumps beyond
the rest Of the Southern field.
Yale was impressive In beating

three this season. Yale win do

Princeton was 100 per cent better
in tying Navy than it was against
Notre Dame. The attack still lacks
authority but the evidence was
that Roper has his team coming.

ment.
Cornell ran out OF victims for

Syracuse found one in Springfield

STRAINING
THE HEART
BY Brice BeIden, M. D.

"HE power of the heart may
be easily determined by the
- following respiratory test: The
individual sits comfortably and
takes deep inspiration; then he
holds his breath and at the same
time congresses his nostrils. AS
soon as he can hold his breath no
longer, the number Of seconds is
noted.
A person with a good heart
should be able to hold his breath
from thirty to forty seconds with
out much subsequent shortness OF
breath. A person with a weak
heart can hold his breath only
from ten to twenty seconds, and
then marked shortness of breath
will follow.
1t does not follow, however,
that because one satisfies him
self in this or any other manner
that he has a good heart, that he
can subject this organ to undue
heart strains, as in competitive
athletics. Severe exertion, car
ried to the point Of nausea, faint
ness-or actual fainting-great
breathlessness and pain and full
ness in the head is never advis-
able. Competitive sports always
need careful medical supervision
But these remarks do not con-
Germ athletes solely. Heart strain
may be caused by cranking an
automobile, pumping up a tire,
strenuous lifting. carrying a load
too far or too rapidly, running or
climbing, especially in those no
longer young. An acute dilatation
of the heart so produced may be
only temporary, or it may re-
quire a prolonged rest cure.
Rest will also go far to prevent
heart strain in the course OF
acute infections of any sort.

of controlling your own words
Remember, this is a dream. You
are to dream no longer'-until, I
suppose, the suggestion that I
wanted to impress upon the dream
mind became more definite and
more powerful than the impression
of any dream; so that when a
dream of distress begins to trouble
me, the oft-repeated formula is au-
tomatically suggested, and I say
at once: You know this is a dream;
you shall dream no longer-you
are to wake
For time after this secret
had been fully learned, this would
always awaken me at once: now

In order to make this method
operative, it would be best to re-
peat the required formula to one
self a number of times daily, at
first, and preferably aloud, al
ways in the same words. The
idea is to sufficiently impress the
subconscious mind with the sug-
gestion that it takes root, so to
say, and operates during the
dreaming state.
This is one of the simplest
methods of controlling your own
dreams, and is one which every
reader may try for himself. In
view of the frequency of night

well worth trying by nearly every

after Clancy had slapped his face and left his

Strangely enough Clancy became friend of
Vandervent the wealthy young prosecuting
attorney engaged with the police in the search

assumed name of "Florine Ladue" and dis
owned her theatrical ambitions. She had

was danger in it. No; she could
not blame herself because she
kept that matter quiet.
"And you'd advise me to keep
it out of the courts, judge?" she
heard Zenda asking.
''If possible" replied the Judge.
1T will do you no good. The
mere threat Of it will be enough.
Offer Grannis fair price for his
stock, deducting, OF course, from
that price whatever have been
your poker losses to Weber. For
the two are partners, unquestion-
ably. Tell Grannis that, If he
doesn't accept your offer,
you will prosecute, both Weber
and himself for swindling.

rose briskly. Cant thank you

tomorrow morning with Judge
Walbrough?'
He turned to the judge and
arranged the hour, then turned
back to Clancy.
"And as soon as that's set

He was gone in another mo-

Clancy.
Little girl he said. ''if it

wife firmly. Hasn't she put you

The judge laughed.

''And I'll follow it," said Clancy
earnestly.
And she did. But not to the
