Der 12.-I If there Is any
question as to just how
much of mainstay Capt.
Albie Booth was to the Yale foot
ball team during his three years of
competition, the statlsticlan settled
1t today.
E. B. Anderson, Yale foot ball
statistician, disclosed that the little
I4s-pound back gained 1926 yards
during the three seasons and lost
only rs. There might have been
more to these figures If Booth had
not been taken Ill with pleuriSy just
after winning the Harvard game.
Booth, who is in Sanatorium, en-
loved his banner year as sopho-
more in 1929, the figures show. In
that season he gained 1,019 yards,
of which $50 yards were made from
scrimmage in 146 tries. The next
year his total yardage was 898, of
which 562 yards were from scrim-
mage, and in his final season he to-
tailed 909 yards, although he car
ried the ball only 79 times to gain
322 yards from scrimmage. His to-
tai for this season was sWelled by
his runbacks of punts and kick-offs
for 46l yards.
Booth trailed his understudy, Bob
Lassiter, this season in the yardage
gained from scrimmage. The latter
made 500 yards In 85 tries, but his

0UT of that meeting grew the Washington
~ National Monument Society. On Oc-
tober 81 of the same year the socety's by
laws and constitution were adopted and its first
officers were selected. John Marshall the great
Chief Justice, who then was 78 years old was
named president Of the society and Judge Will
liam Cranch eminent jurist Of the time was
chosen vice president. Other officers elected
at the same meeting included John P Van
Ness, mayor of Washington, second vice presi-
dent; w. w. Seaton, third vice president Sam
uel Fl. Smith, treasurer, and George Watterson
secretary. The original board of managers,
named at the same time, included Gen. Thomas

Towson Col Archibald Henderson, Matthew
st. Claire Clark, John McClelland Thomas
Munroe, Col. George Dromford Robert c.
Weightman, Peter Force, William Brent Will
liam A. Bradley and Thomas Carbery.
The new society lost no time in launching
the task it had undertaken. 1t voiced an ap-
peal to the people Of the United States to "re-
deem the pledges made by Congress-" and in
order to give a large portion of the Nations
population the opportunity to aid in the rear
ing OF the monument the society limited in
diyidual donations to 81. Progress in collect
ing funds at first considered slow for by
1886, only $4,000 had been donated Never
theess, 1t was in this year that the society in
Vlted American artists to submit designs for the
memorial. No specification was made as to
inc form' OF the memorial, but it was de-
termined by the society that any plans sub
mitted should harmoniously blend durability,
simplicity and grandeur" The estimated cost
was placed at not less than 81 900 900
Robert Mills, prominent architect of the
DAY, submitted the plan which was selected
HIS idea called for the erection of 5OO-foot
ooelisk rising out of the center of 1o0-foot-
hlgn pantheon This pantheon was to form a
vast rotunda, $50 feet in diameter, which was
10 mouse statues Of the national great. Be
neath the shaft was to be the tomb OF George
warrington, while the whole structure was to
embrace a form Of catacombs to receive the
nodles OF other American characters who might
DC honored by burial there.
Inc pantheon structure, however was never
formally adopted by the Washington National
monument Society, which set its purpose first
to secure funds for the erection Of the great
shaft.
In 1888. the society appealed to Congress to
name site for the proposed monument on the
Mail. During discussions bill in the Sem
atc 10 this end bitter criticism was leveled at
the society. Upon being told that $50 900 had

More time was consumed during the period
which followed in renewing appeals to the
public for funds. In 1845 the dollar limitation
was lifted and the total receipts encouraeingly
increased. In 1847 Mrs James Madison, Mrs.

Adams effected an organization of prominent
women which did much to add to the growing
monument fund
