Beethoven's art is one Of ponderous
stroke. He peered clairvoyantly and
profoundly into cosmic relations, pass

ephemeral. The world is grateful and
does not forget.

Army-Navy Foot Ball Game
ArOuses National Interest

sachusetts Union says: 1.-THE fact that
team has broken training is hardly an
adequate excuse to refuse to play under
such circumstances. The results of the
game are of secondary Importance. The
main purpose is to stage a contest which
will attract crowds who want to see a
couple of college teams play and who
want at the same time to help those
who are in need" declares this paper.
1T is to the foot ball player that the
angel Of charity turns this Fall" says
the Allentown Morning Call "She asks
that. even though tired from a long
season of training, the foot ball player
shall keep up his pep and his grit for
just one more game or two so that the
great public, which cannot be reached
directly for charitable contributions, will
be reached indirectly by sporting APP
peal" Touching on this same point
the Morgantown Dominion News states:
1T Is somewhat anomalous, too. that
the same crowd which will provide a
million dollars for charity in order to
see a great foot ball game will not VOL
unfairly provide that million dollars for
a cause that is equally as worthy and
pressing without the game as an added
attraction. That, however, seems to be
the way of human nature" muses. the
News. Pure giving for giving's sake
seems usually to be a greater sacrifice
than we can bear. But we somehow
find ways and means to find these extra
dollars when our own amusement and
enjoyment is at stake"
