to Capt. John +. l.. Noel OF the Brit

spoke last night before members ~
the National Geographic Society at
The Masonic Temple Auditorium. The
difficulty. which So far men have been
unable To overcome. lies in the ire

and in the fact that the climbers,
when they reach the high attitudes
OF the peak, have left most of the all
necessary oxygen of the air below.
Vast quantities of the "lean" air must
be passed through the lungs in order
that enough oxygen may be obtained
TO support life.

for those who have lived to tell the
tale.
Unusual atmospheric conditions

Monks Say Peak Is Holy.
Near the beginning of the glaciers

That figure represents about S15 for every man,

Purdue's first touchdown came as
the result of a fifty-fve-yard run by

a constant threat on sweeping end
runs which had plenty OF lnterfer-
ence heading the play.
Cook, a sophomore half back who
&A-ted the fray made the second

Press Critic.
By HENRY FARRELL

NEW YORK. Nov. 22.-Practical
football men say that an all-Ameri-
can team, consisting of the eleven
best players in the game, can not
be picked, because there are three
or four equally good men for every
position on a team that can hold
only eleven.
Theoretical football men say that
an all-American team should not be
picked, because in principle it de-
stroys the morale that football is
supposed to teach sacrifice of individ-
ual glory for the team.
The two arguments are sound and
beyond dispute,
Picking a team of eleven play
ers that could go on the field and
defeat any eleven other players n
the Nation is one of those tasks
that is admitted to be impossible,
but there is no death penalty for
trying.
