The course always was difficult

Obey Law of Prophet
But Still Drink Wine

Born and raised in Russian Turkes-
tan, on the Persian border, l have had
wonderful opportunity to observe
how the Mohammedan decree against
alcohol works out in practice. The
Koran distinctly forbids the use of
wine; it says nothing however, of
hard liquors, such as brandy and rum,
or vodka, for the simple reason that
those beverages were not known at
the time it was written. The result
of that omission can be easily sur
missed when one takes into considera-
ton the highly casuistic and judicial
character Of the oriental mind; those
VINO wish-drink.
Another very interesting way Of
beating the Koran is this: 1t is stated
lin the book: 1.-THE first drop of wine
shall be your undoing." The loyal
Mohammedan, therefore, having filed
a tumbler of wine, dips his forefnger
in the drink, slowly pulls it out, TAX
ing care not to spill back the drop
suspended on its tip, and then casts
it off with prayers. The first drop
being removed, he drinks down the
rest.-American Mercury.

ly and shrewdly keeping to himself
the why's and wherefores of these
ideas.
For ten years he stood alone as
creator and originator of modern foot
ball, and Yale triumphed. Deland
conceived the flying wedge. Camp
hurled a single sturdy guard into 1t,
broke it, and sent half-back through
the opening to tackle the runner. He
had solved the defense before the Of
Tense ever got under way.
Away back in the early '9Os, Camp,
who was good business man, con-
ceived the idea that football, which
attracted the public, could and should
pay the way for other college sports.
that the receipts and disbursements Of
Yale sports should be pooled, and that
by running college sports on a bust
ness basis they could be made to pay,
and that the constant passing of the
hat for money to run sports among
both undergraduates and graduates
should be abolished.
'The idea was too revolutionary to
spring on the happy-go-lucky college
world Hence Camp created at Yale
the Yale Field association. He be-
came its head and treasurer. He hus-
banded its funds, and for fifteen years
no one, except a chosen few, knew
that Yale athletics were making
money.
"Then Camp began to unfold his
plans, great football arena, an up
to-date boathouse, and new athletic
field, and he told Yale men that he
had saved $4,000 toward carrying
out his plans"
Soon followed his downfall You've
already heard that part of the story.
Thus. briefly, you have the outline Of
what Walter Camp did for football at
Yale, and the reward he received.
Like all men who succeed" con-
tinues the New Haven writer. ''lfe was
invulnerable to criticism. But the sad
part of the attack upon Walter Camp
by his own college was that 1t came
from an insignificant minority"

years after Camp left Yale that uni
versity was paying Yale men twice as
much for coaching as Camp ever re-
ceived, and that in addition Yale foot
ball was on that "sure and certain
downgrade course 1t pursued until the
past two seasons"

the part he played In making football
what 1t is today, and in addition the
story of his ups and downs during the
many years he had charge of athletics
at Yale-unless you have this back
ground you won't appreciate fully the
significance of this honor and the eli
max 1t produces in a drama of foot
ball politics.
Years ago, long before college foot
ball profits ran into seven figures,
Walter Camp, then known as the
Caesar of Football at Yale, stood
before a gathering Of that university's
athletic heads and announced that he
had contrived to save $1S5,OO0 out Of
football receipts.
Astounded by the vastness of this
sum, they were further astounded by
Mr.. Camps ambitious plans for
great footabn arena, the Yale Bowl,
new boathouse fully equipped, and q
new athletic field.
Questions Immediately formed in
the minds Of his listeners. Whence
this secret fund? Where did it come
from, and why? There was the GUS
tomary investigation. He might have
withstood the attack, but the investi-
CATION disclosed that Camp, who was
then a member of the faculty, had
received some compensation for his
services.
No Yale coach had ever taken pay
- be-
paid for coaching, but he had received
a modest sum, about one-fifth or less
even than the remuneration of pres
ent-day coach, for his services as
treasurer and manager Of Yale ath-
letics and his job on the faculty.
But they were after Camp. 1t was
pointed out that he had written books
and articles for magazines and news
papers. He had turned his knowl-
edge of football into money. The fact
that several hundred other Yale men
were receiving money by this time for
coaching and writing on football was
overlooked.
In 1910, when Fred DAILY was cap
tain and Ted Coy was field coach, the
break came. Sharing the fate that
ungrateful republics are pleased to
bestow, Walter Camp and his wizard
ry, which for many years had not only
kept Yale football supreme, but also
dominated the entire football world,
was deposed forever as adviser and
director of the sport at Yale
At the time of CAMPS death on
March IA, 1925, the New Haven cor

and half ago. But the years have
brought compensations for the loss of
intimacy and exclusiveness. The great
modern American hotels, with their
hundreds Of rooms and thousands of
daily visitors, offer a variety Of life,
a richness of contact, which the small
tavern never gave. The imagination
must grasp this to appreciate it. Look
around you and you will see that it
is only the background Of Doctor John

feeling still holds true.
