UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. III, NO.3.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, OCTOBER 18, 1�94.The College graduate.He sent his son to college to store his head with knowledge,"I need a smart young fellow in my business house," hesaid," And when he's educated, why, bein' so related,He'sjust the one to take the reins and drive up to the head." They say he quite surpasses alJ the fellows in his classes,And I reckon he'll think nothin' of my rather taxin' load.I'm gettin' old and weary, but it makes the future cheeryTo think of leanin' on my son adown life's western road."Well, he trod a path of glory, did this student of my story,And they dined him, and they wined him, on his final collegeday.But he broke each rule of grammar, when he spoke, as with ahammer,And his knees they knocked together if you mentioned algebra.But he shone forth as a sprinter, and he trained the livelongwinter,For the spring and summer races, where his record was mostfine.And the old man looks reflective and thinks college rules de­fective,While his son goes round the country with a jolly baseballnine.-Ella Wheeler Wilcox.JACK.A TRAGEDY.The staff of '89 were dining together, after a sepa­ration of four years. Within the cosy parlor of theSheridan House they sat and grew reminiscent as thesmoke from their cigars curled upward and vanishedin the cloudy atmosphere near the ceiling. Old col­lege chums they were; congenial, whole-souled fel­lows, whose ideals, college - ideals, had not beenshattered by contact with the world.They had come together for a reunion and theymeant to make this night a happy and memorable one.The coffee finished, cigars were relighted and toastsconcluded."Now for stories, such as we used to have down. in the little box under the stairs that we were proudto call our office," cried Fowler, ex-editor-in-chief."Yes, by all means. The old veteran' athletic'used to be great on tales of woe. What's the matterwith having him let out a few links of his ever fertileimagination? " This from the modest exchange."How about yourself, Charlie ? You could twistout a few good ones yourself in the good old days.Hear the exchange, fellows. He will tell you allabout the fight he had with the FledgefowJl DailyCollegian man with whom he had that duel at ten miles. You remember he accused the' duck' of pla­giarism."The meek "exchang�" disdained any knowledgeof the duel referred to, remarking, however, that hehad heard a good thing which he had not yet sub­mitted to the Century and which the company couldhave the benefit of if they desired." By all means," cried all in chorus.Well, fellow editors, began the exchange. It wasthis way. You know I'm a lawyer-that is, I amone, if sitting down in an empty office with an ele­gantly framed diploma before me, waiting for jobsthat never come constitutes a lawyer's occupation.About six weeks ago I was following my trade, sit­ting down, when the door opened and a gray-hairedold man entered leaning heavily on a cane. I wasnaturally a little surprised, for he was the first personthat had entered that door for weeks who had not theappearance of a "dun-." However, I pretended Iwas used to it-that is, clients-and when he askedme in a shaky voice, "Are you a lawyer? " I bravelyreplied, " I am. What can I do for you? "He took from his pocket a large envelope which hehanded me. Upon it was written:., MRS. GE ORGE CRABTREE,HOTEL BERNICE, NEW YORK CITY."" I wish to leave this with you," said he. "Keep ituntil my death and then send it to the address whichis upon the envelope. I shall die to-night at 7 o'clockby I?Y OWll hand. Mail the letter at that hour. Hereis ten dollars."I stared at him aghast. Here was a man whowould suicide that evening. Was he insane? If so,what was I to do. Might he not commit some vio­lence upon me? Heavens! but I was scared. How­ever, I decided to keep him quiet and suggested thathe be seated., , Yo 11 do n ot mean to tell me that you are going tokill your.�elf," said I, "Pray explain yourself.""Do you want me to tell you a story that will makeyour blood curdle within your veins. Do you care to,know that I am a murderer? "I started as if shot. My thoughts were uponflight; but like the ancient mariner he held me by hisstony gaze, and there beside this murderer and would­be suicide I sat spellbound.He seemed to read my thoughts for he endeavoredto reassure me by saying:" Do not be alarmed; I will not harm you. Yes Iam a murderer, allowed to go unpunished, but with2 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.the crime buried deep within my soul. That envelopecontains my confession. I will confide it to you now."He began:"'Tis thirty years ago to-day that I made .theacquaintance of my victim." I was young, just married and my wife .and I werespending a few ,weeks at the seashore. On the even­ing before our departure for home I had gone down tothe "pier for a last look at the sea.I. I sat in a boat which was moored to the pier, andlet my hand hang idly in the water. I had almostfallen to sleep when suddenly I felt a stinging sensa­tion in my hand.-:iI hastily withdrew it from thewater, and was alarmed to find a large crab clingingto it. I jumped to the pier and with the assistance ofan old fisherman succeeded in freeing myself of theunwelcome crustacean."My hand was somewhat lacerated but I did notharm the crab. I felt that it was not his fault that heshould cut my hand. He seemed to be grateful, forthere were tears in his eyes when I said, 'Poor littlecarcinas moeras.' He showed his gratitude by im­mediately fastening himself to my trousers and as Icould not detach him, there he remained while Idragged myself to the cottage. Going into the din­ing r00111 he unfastened himself and gravely bowed tomy wife who screamed in terror.I I Although almost speechless through amazement Icalmed her nervousness and we seated ourselves at thetable leaving the crab in the corner. But the visitorwas not con ten t; he made for the table and spying avacant chair next me leaped nimbly toit, He thenlooked at me as if to say, 'Feed me.' I offered himmeat and vegetables, which he eagerly devoured. Wewere too astonished to eat, and sat silently watchingour guest as he stored away a hearty meal.,I After dinner a friend and I adjourned to the bil­liard room. The crab followed us and taking a cueproceeded to make the most difficult shots with theutmost ease. About midnight I put the crab to bediri a coal-box and at an early hour in the morning mywife and I took the train for home, forty miles away.I resumed my business and had almost forgottenabout the crab, when one morning four days after ourreturn who should enter my library but the crab. hehad followed us from the seashore. He was dustyand travel-stained and completely worn out. I admin­istered a dose of I Crab's Sarsaparilla' which renewedthe nerve tissues and entirely removed that tired feel­ing. He was soon the happy, blithesome crab of thewe-ek before. He made himself very useful about thehouse and seemed to want to remain with us. Mywife was willing, for the little fellow helped her aboutthe kitchen, sweeping and carrying in wood and water.We soon grew to love him as a son and we bestowedupon him the name Jack." He answered to our call and soon picked up quite a vocabulary from hearing us speak. He desired tolearn to read and I would take him on my knee everyevening and teach him a new word. When we cameto the word I crab' in the reader, he asked its mean­ing. I told him he was (crab, and he seemed muchsurprised. In about three months Jack could readand write, very little of the latter, however.(I He showed a fondness for the great poets andspent all his spare time reading Shakespeare, Danteand Milton. Crabbe's verses made him sad, he said.(( While at my work I was in the habit of indulgingin an occasional cigarette. To tease my companion Iwould often puff the smoke in his face and wouldlaugh at the effect it produced. Jack soon becameaccustomed to the smoke and even seemed to like it.I I One evening he surprised me by asking for a cig­arette. I.hesitated, for well I knew the deadly poisonwould soon enter the lungs and undermine his consti­tution. Jack pleaded with me for a long time, andstill I refused. The thought of denying the fellowanything pained me, and I reluctantly yielded. Jackwas delighted and professed himself proof againstall evil effects, and was soon smoking away merrily.'" I gazed at him with sadness in my heart, for I feltthat I had done wrong. My friend !-that momentwhen I consented was the turning-point in my life!I then recklessly threw away to the winds a lifetimeof happiness and sealed a fate most horrible! "The old man sobbed and groaned in his wrethed­ness, and even I, stony-hearted that I am, shed a tear.I waited in silence for him to resume.He began:(I Well, I sat by him as he smoked the vile thing andwatched the consequences. Jack soon grew drowsy,his eyes became covered with a mist; the cigarettedropped from his nerveless claws, and with a shudderhe fell to the floor. I put him to bed and restored"him to consciousness. As he opened his eyes he cried:..� A cigarette!' I said, 'No, Jack; no.'"" ( 0 Horatio,' sobbed Jack, I Give me a cigarette!My kingdom for a cigarette! '(( The doctor fearing bad results advised me to givehim what he asked." He smoked incessantly for two days and then lefthis bed. But a change had come over him. He wasnot the happy crab of bygone days. He had becol�1emoody and peevish. Jack was a cigarette fiend!He had become that low-down wretch, doubly worsethan a drunkard. He smoked continually and hissystem became much weakened. He soon lost allhis strength and was wasting away when he took tohis bed. Three days and nights he passed in awfuldelirium and I watched by his bedside that wholetime. At last the crisis came. The poor life wasalmost ended. With every gasp the candle of lifeflickered ominously, but though the light was dim itstill shone on.UNIVERSITY OF CH.ICAGO WEEKLY."Jack awoke me from my reverie by saying, 'Do notweep Horatio. I shall soon be in the better land. Iwould that you were with me. Stick to cigarettesdear father and we shall soon be reunited.'"Instead of consoling me the very mention of theword cigarette drove me into a frenzy. In my an­guish I vowed never to smoke another cigarette.'" Jack was startled. His claws worked convulsivelyand rising in his bed he held up a wasted claw andpronounced these awful words, 'Then, may younever live in peace again. May you ever rememberhow you tempted me to ruin and to death! May younever feel the blessed balm of sleep. Curses on youfor evermore ! '"With these words on his lips he fell back, a corpse.We buried him under the sweet roses in the happyspringtime, and in his earthy cot he calmly sleeps.I roam the wide world 0' er and never feel at peace." To-night I die! To-morrow's sun shall not shinedown upon this living thing."I fell in a swoon, and before I recovered he wasgone. He killed himself that evening and we tookhim to his once happy home and laid him to rest bythe side of his dear crab, Jack.That finishes my history, gentlemen."Throw that box: of cigarettes in the fire," camefrom the-local editor. H. c. M.Oliver Wendell Holmes." The American Horace," - the genial and high­souled, the rollicking and tender, the versatile andinimitable Holmes is dead. He was the last to go ofthe br il liant New England circle of writers. He wasthorougb ly an American, and America was proud ofhim, His genius was not profound, but never did itfail to be fresh and original and altogether charming,and occasionally he showed a fire and a power thatsurprised his readers. Graceful and polished he wasin style, and a master of ridicule which he turnedwith scathing effect on sham of all kinds.There was a frank good-nature in his personalityand an irresistible charm about whatever he did thatwon its way to all hearts. His was one of those free,open natures that bring popularity everywhere. Youyourself have met a few such rare spirits,- men ofwarm heart and pleasing face, of quick sympathyand genial bearing, always ready and willing to help,coming forward with a hearty handshake and an easygrace that puts you at ease and irresistibly invites yourconfidence and affection. They are men of delightfulpersonality based upon real character and ability.Their interest and enthusiasm embraces too wide anarea to be productive of the severest concentration,and their talents are of the ready and versatile charac­ter rather than the profound. Somewhat such aspirit was our Holmes, and the wideness of his popu­larity and the depth and universality of the affectionwhich he called forth in all who knew him personally or through his writings, caused everywhere a sharptwinge of pain to be felt when the news of his deathcame, "borne on newspaper wings to all lands. "But he departs, not lamented and regretted as aBurns cut off at the age of 37, or a Byron at 36, or aShelley at 30, or a Keats at 25. Eighty-five full yearsearnestly and faithfully lived were Holmes'. Andnow, hale and hearty and cheerful in his fine old age,enjoying to the last full vigor of mind and heart, qui­etly and appropriately and beautifully, he has com­pleted his well-rounded life, "like as a shock of corncometh in its season," and" with singing robes abouthim" he has. ascended and J we see him no more.And so, when the word came, the emotion which thenation felt was a quiet glow of sadness and gratitudein thinking of this life so well lived and so fittinglyclosed. It was like the noble ending of a good book.He was the last of the great group of Americansingers who have made American literature of morethan provincial significance. Lowell- Whittier­Holmes, following one after another in quick succes­sion,-and the volume is closed! And now the ques­tion fills every mind, "who will take their place?"And the unthinking lament is heard on every handthat the halcyon days of American literature are overforever. Edmund Clarence Stedman, in his" Natureand Elements of Poetry," speaks as follows of thisfeeling, and his words are of significance as being theripened conclusion of one who has perhaps studiedthe deepest and most judiciously of any living manthe literary tendency of America., , We hear much talk on the part of those' observ­ers whose business it is to record the movement of asingle day, about the decline of ideality. Wheneverone of the elder luminaries goes out, the cry is raised;who will there be to take his, place? What lightswill be left when the constellation of which he was astar shall have vanished? The same cry has goneup from every generation in all eras. TIiose whoutter it are like water-beetles, perceiving only theripples', comprehending little of the great waves ofthought and expression upon which we are bornealong. The truth is that, alike in savagery and civil­ization, there never is a change from stagnation to life,from bondage to freedom, from apathy to feeling andpassion, that does not beget its poets. At such a pe­riod we have the making of new names in song, assurely as deeds and fame in great wars came to menunknown before. It is true that all the greatestcompositions, in all the arts, are usually produced atculminating epochs of national development. Butthe period of that eminent group, the" elder Ameri­can poets," surely has not been that of our fullest de­velopment. Theirs has been the first inspiring rise ofthe foothill, above which-after a stretch of mesa, oreven a slight descent-range upon range are still torise before we reach that culminating sierra-top whoseheight none can measure."

Whether it is that the eastern climate ismore inspiring than the western, or whether thepoetic muse takes up its habitation in eastern localities,it is impossible to say. Western college men andwomen are certainly as bright and talented as thestudents who attend the educational institutions of theeastern states. Why then should the eastern papershave so much better verse?

Her wise and well-placedgenerosity in establishing a course of lectures on Com­parative Religion and in giving the funds for anOriental Museum, in memory of her deceased husband,has already been commented on in these columns.To these acts of munificence she has added anotherin contributing $10,000 for a memorial chapel to thelate Professor Swing. Her gifts have always beentimely and devoted to the hig�est needs of the Uni­versity, and perhaps none of the many splendid dona­tions which the University has received from its large­hearted friends has been more welcomed. When thehistory of the early days of this institution shall bewritten,' a large part of it will be devoted to this gen­erous and high-minded woman and the Universityitself will never become so large or have existed solong as not to retain a warm and vivid memory of thegreat work she has done for it.To SUPPLY the demand for verse every college, paper is obliged to clip more or less from its ex­changes.

Everyone real­izes that a most important factor in footballgames is the cheering of the spectators. Ateam may be ever so good, but it needs the vocal sup­port of its followers to bring out its best efforts. Thecheering at the games of the past few weeks has beenweak and irregular. Comparatively few have joinedin. and the little that has been done has been poor.The strong and steady cheering of a few will do moretoward winning games than all the ragged, disjointedyelling of a mob. While it would be wrong to con­demn the cheering of individual players, we feelthat this habit is becoming too strongly fixed on themen who do the bulk of the cheering for Chicago. Toencourag�' this practice would be wrong. A playerneeds no marked demonstration on the part of specta­tors to feel sure that his good work is appreciated. Hewill do his part as well without the plaudits of the en­thusiasts. Cheer the team as a whole, and cheer it ina sturdy, steady, systematic way.NOT SINCE the death of Henry Ward Beecher hasthe loss of a great preacher called forth suchwidespread expressions of sorrow as that of thelate Professor Swing. Consonant with the intensityof life in Chicago, at once many friends and admirersof the dead divine cast about for a suitable memorialto perpetuate his name. Dr. John Henry Barrowswas the first to suggest a definite plan for carryingout the unformed wishes of the many. He proposedthat $250,000 be raised for building a memorial chapelat the University of Chicago. Scarcely had the sug-UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.gestion been made before Mrs. Caroline E. Haskellcontributed $ro,ooo to the undertaking. So well wasthe late Professor Swing known in Chicago, so strongwas the impress of his life and work upon the peopleof this city that there can be no doubt that promptlyand cheerfully the remaining amount will be sub­scribed.The matter of the location of the memorial chapel,however, has created some little diversity of sentiment,and Northwestern has set forth her claims for thebuilding. There, however, can be no two opinions asto the duty before the people of Chicago now. Letthe funds be raised for a suitable memorial and thenlet the donors decide how the money shall be ex­pended. The attitude of the University is simple.Our wish that a suitable memorial of Prof. Swingshould be secured is paramount to our desire that it belocated on our campus. That a memorial chapelwould be welcomed here, that it would be made a cen­ter for moral and religious activity which would radi­ate throughout the, entirety of Chicago, cannot bedoubted. With the inspiration of the name of him inwhose memory the building was erected, it would bethe center of the best and broadest religious life otCfiicago. -The philanthropic people of Chicago havegiven nobly to the building of a great educational in­stitution in their city, and they would respond with'equal promptitude and munificence to a movementthat would add to the religious welfare of the Univer­sity.Dr. Barrows voices the general attitude of the citi­zens of Chicago to the proposed David Swing memo­rial chapel and to the University. In a letter to theEvening Post he says:" Of course there is no reason why other universities outsideof Chicago should not have some memorial of this good andgreat man; but the memorial 1110st worthy of him and appro­priate to him should be in our city, iu connection with that oneliterary institution which belongs peculiarly and preem inent lyto Chicago as a whole. A man who represented leaming audreligion and civic patriotism is 1110st worthily commemoratedby a beautiful building, which stands for learning, religion andcivic patriotism. No better location for the Chicago Univer­sity could possibly be secured than that-which it now occupies.It is becoming more and more the center of a great population,and the representative of the common intellectual life andhighest educational possibilities of the community; therefore,no better place is practicable for David Swing's lasting andchief memorial."The University of Chicago is au iustitution which belongsto all classes of our citizens. It appeals to civic pride and a 5regard for the highest intellectual and moral interests of thecity. Men of all religious denominations are cherishing itand aiding its beneficent work. While a generous citizen ofanother community is its founder, and has provided, thus farfor its endowment, he has wisely confined his gifts to the en­dowment fund. The architectural plans for the universityprovide for a collection of buildings which, when completed,will make perhaps the most magnificent university pile on thecon tinen t. They will be harmonized. under one general scheme.aud are of such quality and character as to be worthy monu­ments to the generons, beloved and famous makers of Chicago.Very largely they are to bear the names of those who havebeen associated with the wondrous growth of the city. Thenames borne by the beautiful structures already built, or build­ing-Foster, Kelly, Beecher, Walker, Cobb, Kent, Snell, Ryer­son, Haskell-indicate the memorial character which the uui -'versity's architecture has assumed. It is the wise plan of thetrustees to connect the university with the life of the city byfurnishing the opportunity of building beautiful memorialstructures, and by throwing the responsibility of providing forthe university's needs, outside of the enormous endowments,present and prospective, on the generous and wise-heartedpeople of Chicago."In his con vocation address on October I, President Harpercalled the urgent attention of the 1,500 peoplewho were com­pelled to meet out-of-doors to the pressing need of the uni­versity chapel. He expressed the hope that this need wouldbe provided for at once, or within the coming year. Thechapel must be built, and there is every reason to seize, mosteagerly and gratefully, the present opportunity to associate it, 'in all the fnture life of the university and of the city, with thehonored and beloved name "of David Swing."Our Girls and Colleges.I think that tbe average girl of sixteen is too youngto go to college. writes Mrs. Burton Kingsland, in thesecond of her valuable articles on "A Daughter atSixteen," in the May Ladies' Home Journal. Themental training must be more or less a forcing pro­cess for one so immature, and she can scarcelyappre­ciate the value of such a course of study as she wouldtwo years later, nor make the best use of 'it. Herphysique is less able to endure any strain, and theliberty allowed her when so young has a tendency, Ithink, to make her self-willed and opinionated.It is time, however, to decide whether or not sheshall go to college, and make earnest and definitepreparation for it.There can scarcely be two opinions about the ad­vantages that must accrue to a girl from a four-years'training in an intellectual atmosphere, where carefulattention is given to the moral and religious influence.If she be taught" to think clearly, to judge wiselyand to act aright," that is all the most -, devotedmother can hope to accomplish, and if there be noloosening of family ties and the daughter can bespared from home, by all means let her go to college.6 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Y.M.

She made a beautiful picture asshe stood there, on the busy deck, idly watching thecoming and going of deck-hands and early passengers.Her beautiful blonde hair and pale, ethereal facereminded me forcibly of Dante Rosetti's Beatrix. Istood in the shadow of a huge smoke-stack where Icould see and remain unseen, observe and not benoticed. Her type was unmistakably Oriental. N 0-where in the west could one find that olive-white com­plexion, the graceful nose, those eyes of palest blue.I compared her to the women of my own country, andI fear I was not patriotic. The soul of such an angelmust be as beautiful as the face and form, I thought.No unholy thought could emanate from such a mind.No mean act could ever defile those slender hands.Thus did my mind wander when the object of mythoughts was for a moment hidden from view. Thesmoke-stack, in whose friendly shelter I stood, wasnow belching forth vast volumes of black smoke.The wind, which had changed, bore a great smoke­cloud down on my angel. The vision faded from mysight; my dream was ended. I sadly left my hidingplace, and as I passed within a few feet of the fairgirl I heard her say, not in the pearly, liquid tonethat one might expect from such a creature, but in aharsh, unpleasant voice, "D-"- that smoke." M.DRAMATIC RASCALITY.A few weeks ago the city of R-- mourned thedeath .of its most wealthy citizen. He had been aman loved and honored by all,-a well known phi­lanthropist, a leader in the Christian church, promi­nent in the councils of his city, and many times amember of his state legislature. He died full of yearsand contentment. One who had known him fromboyhood, sketched for me, the true history of hiscareer. Forty years ago this man was a poor 1I .e­chanic, with no apparent prospect but a life of hardlabor and insignificance. By a single act he insuredfor himself wealth and honors. A friend, a laborerlike himself, after months of study, had evolved thestructure of an intricate and useful piece of machin­ery. In confidence he had confided the nature of hiswork to his fellow mechanic. At last one day he saidto him, "The model is done." That night the futurephilanthropist and legislator, the future model citizenof a model community, crept through a window andstole the work of his friend. Then, with the bold­ness of a genius, he claimed the invention, secured apatent, intented a capitalist and almost in a day be­came a great man. "And what of the inventor," Iasked. "The inventor," mused my informant, "Idon't remember about him, but I suppose he crawled off somewhere and died. No one ever heard of himagain."

After the business hadbeen passed over a solo was exquisitely rendered byMiss Mabel Matheson. Bright and entertaining talkswere delivered by Miss Clark, of Hyde Park, MissMcDowell, of the University Settlement at the Stock­Yards, and Miss Reynolds, of Nancy Foster hall.Each meeting witnesses a more attractive programmeand an increased attendance. May such continue,until its membership shall embrace the whole school.The J unior class of '96 has organized as follows :President, Wm. Lewis; vice-president, Eva Libby;secretary, Marion Hubbard; treasurer, Ralph Hamill;executive committee, Messrs. Wheeler, Parker, Pierceand the Misses Ryan ann Moore. With the selectionof such competent officers, '96 has started upon hermarch to fame and glory.The Banjo club has reorganized as follows: RobertUpham, leader and [first banjo; Milton Fisher andRexford Bellamy, first banjo; Wm. Noyes, secondbanjo; Stephen Buhrer, mandolin; Edwin Kilbourneand Wm. Maull, guitar. May the ensuing year be asfruitful in the acquisition of new laurelsas the preced­ing one.Following a good example, the young ladies haveorganized a mandolin club. Their. success is insuredin the admirable selection of Miss Pillsbury as leader.The Misses Ellet, Coolidge, Martin, Parker andWooley will pick the mandolin; the Misses Ryan,Hoyt, Hardy and Cooke will twang the guitar. Theirprogress is eagerly watched and their debut anxiouslyawaited.It is rumored that the boy orator of North Divisionis about to exhibit his athletic feats and trained hye­nas at Hyde Park.Miss Mabel Matheson has promised to invite the 4thhour geology class, under the chaperonage of Mr.Bennett, to her castles in Spain in the near future.The wheels deposited in the basement from 9 to 2represent a small-sized fortune.8cally new to the position, he showed no little skill indodging interferers and tackling the man with theball. No one with any conscience ever accused him oflacking grit or the muscle to make his grit effective.From present indications he and Geary will makequite satisfactory 'ends.Apparently the easiest place on the team is at quar­ter, and yet a good man for that position is seldomfound. Judged absolutely Hering is a fairly goodquarter. Of the candidates for the position in theUniversity he is clearly the best. He uses good judg­ment in signaling, passes the ball neatly and inter­feres well in offensive playing. In defensive he ishardly up to his standard when Chicago is in posses­sion of the ball. He tackles well, however, andbraces the line fairly .Nichols plays at half with a dash that was lackingin last year's game. His reputation in the diamond,will, in a measure, stand in the way of his getting duecredit for his achievements in the football field. Hewas altogether new to football last fall. Not onlyhas he 'learned the game, but he has learned it well.The indications are that he will make by longodds the best half back Chicago has had. Knappwill probably play the other half. With his splendidphysique, and quickness and agility in running hemakes a showy player. A lack of nerve which wasnoticeable in the early part of last year is still attrib­utable to him, though it is perhaps unfair to ask toomuch of him after but, a week of training. His lineof improvement lies in tackling and in defensive play­ing in general. Later observations of his work willprobably find in him all ,the many good points whichhis strength, endurance and quickness bespeak forhim." Coy has returned to a place behind the lineafter an absence caused by an inj ury. He runs lowand makes good gains, but is not equal to eitherNichols or Knapp. Flanders is another promisingcandidate for half back. If the policy already an­nounced, of having two or three games a week, iscarried out, he will make a very serviceable player inthe games of lesser importance.Gale has been a surprise at full back. At first itlooked as though a good end was being sacrificedto make a mediocre full back. He has, however, de­veloped wonderfully in bucking the line, and in thatrespect has no superior here. He usually puntsstrongly. N eel, though still showing signs of the acci­dent that befell him while practicing at tennis at Sara­toga, last summer, is out on the. field punting everyafternoon. He will probably be among the playersbefore the season is over. Gale then could be utilizedeither as full back or as end. Hirschberger puntswell, but is too light, and does not make up by quick­ness for his Jack of "Yeight. Simpson is a strongsubstitute for guard. He is, however, too slow tomake the first team.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Why is time spent in the library so valuable? Si­lence is golden.Can anyone point out" Bennett's What is it?"Annie Eton and Sadie Morse are again numberedamong the fold.Amusements.A FOOTBALL STUDY.In a short time the eleven will meet the strongteams of the University of Wisconsin, Minnesota andMichigan. A criticism of the individual players maybe of value in basing an estimate of the chances of theteam for victory.At center Rullkoetter excels in getting the ballback neatly and at the proper time. He IS a hard. man to get away with, but does not cover ground. widely, holding closely to the prescribed duties ofcenter. Black is a light man and would hardly do atcenter, if Rullkoetter should be prevented from play­ing, still he trains conscientiously and will doubtlessbe used in minor games.Nott Flint everybody knows, but McCaskill, theother guard, is altogether new to the University. Hecame with Geary this fall from Appleton, Wis. He isa large man and, in the judgment of Captain Allen,will make a good guard. Allen is the player parexcellence of the team. ,But the University has morereason to be grateful to him for his rare tact withmen, his thorough knowledge of the game and of therespective merits of players-in short, for his general­ship, than for his playing. He will probably playtackle. Roby, the other .tackle, is an active man inbreaking up a line. He is seldom caught nappingand is to be relied on to make a gain after the thirddown has been called. He is prone to stumble andrather slower to recover than would be expected fromhis usual alertness. Wyant would make CaptainAllen's and the students' hearts glad, if he wouldenter active. training again this fall. He would thenplay tackle and Allen would go back to his old placeas guard. The rush line would certainly be greatlystrengthened by his playing.When it is remembered that Stagg's position on theYale eleven was that of an end, it is surprising thatthe candidates for that position do not receive moreattention here. Geary, it was reported, was to quitplaying-on Saturdays at least-on account of con­flicting duties in the class-work department. Happilythis has been arranged so that he can remain with theteam. He weighs 160 pounds, to make a guess, and,in point of weight at least, is more acceptable thanmany of the men that have been tried for that posi­tion. He is, however, in other respects fitted for an endposition and with proper training ought 110t to be ex­celledin the West. Yundt, after being tried at almostevery position on the team, was put in as end and inthe last half of the game Saturday. Though practi-UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL'·/.,There are a dozen or more other players, some ofwhom are likely to come into prominence before theseason is closed, but of them, '( more anon."Scored Against by Rush.The University team underwent the humiliationlast Thursday of being scored against by Rush Med­ical college .. It was a repetition, oil the part of Rush,ofa tactic employed with similar effect, by Lake For­est last' fall. By incessant attacks on the center,Nichols, who was placed well back to guard the rear,was inveigled into playing up even with the line.Fu llenweider was then sent around left end and hadan open field. Nichols darted after him, but onlyovertook him a yard from the goal line, and Rusheasily forced the ball over the remaining distance.In the team from Rush [were several old-time play­ers, and the line as a whole was a strong one. Withgood coaching they would make formidable opponentsin the football field. Interference was almost unusedby them and their gains were in the main small andsecured by hard physical effort.Allen got the kick-off and Rush made twenty yard.'before Chicago regained the ball. The 'Varsityrushed it hard and after gains of fifteen and twenty­five yards by Nichols and Knapp, respectively, Galecrossed the line for a touchdown. Without losingthe ball Chicago made another touchdown. Rushassumed the aggressive when the ba11 was again putin play. Steadily, and with the aid of twenty-fiveyards given for an alleged foul tackle the doctors car­ried the ball to Chicago's ten-yard line. CaptainAllen ca11ed on his men to stand firm and his teamresponded, capturing the ball on downs. The ba11was passed to Nichols and well-guarded by Hering,Roby and Gale, he cleared nearly the whole length ofthe field, a brilliant run, and scored the third touch­down.The second half was played in the gathering dark­ness. Aside from Rush's scoring, it was uninterestingand futile. The line-up and score:U. of Chi. positions. Rush.Yunnt. . . . . . . . . Left end. . .Alleu. . . . . . Left tackle. .McCa�kill. . . . . . .

Right half back Beloit Defeated.Though the score was small, Captain Allen's teamwon a far from modest victory over Beloit, Saturday.The crowd of Beloit sympathizers had just reason toimpose confidence in their eleven. The line menplayed a snappy game, such as one seldom sees. Assoon as the ball was snapped they hit the opposingline, as though sprung from a catapult, and with terrificforce. Behind the line Hollister and Adkinson werespeedy, thoroughly familiar with the points of vantagethat the weaknesses in our team furnished, and, Ad­kinson especia11y, pounded the line - like a trip­hammer.Chicagos had the wind against them in the first half,and seemed dazed by the suddenness of Beloit's play­ing. It was not until the second half that the rush­ers did their share of the work. Captain Allen playeda hard game from the outset, and it was his enthusi­asm largely that braced the team in the second half.He gained ground in the teeth of Beloit's concentratedopposition. Roby, Rullkoetter and McCaskill are de­serving of credit. The latter gained ground well, andwas firm against the onslaughts of the opposing play­ers, but was awkward in running with the ball. Knappis far from being up to his standard of playing. Helacks spirit and daring. He is capable of three timeshis performance of Saturday. The ends are still un­satisfactory, and need individual coaching more thanany other players on the team. The work of the backswas very satisfactory. What the team needs is individ­ual coaching in the fine points of the game. Allen madea good kick-off and Hollister made a good run back ..Riggs bucked the center for a small gain. Small andsteady gains with end runs took the ball to the fifteen­yard line. Here Chicago got it on downs. Ten yardswere given on off side play. Nichols gained aroundthe end. The line was bucked for a half-dozen more,and then Coy shot between the left end and tackle forfifteen yards .. Beloitgot the ball on a fumble. HoI·lister made fifteen yards to left and ten to right, but anoff side play gave the leather to Chicago. Nicholsmade a slight gain. Twenty yards were gained on apair of off side plays. Nichols gained again, andCoy repeated his fifteen-yard run. But Beloit thengot the ball on outside play. Pitkin won groundthrough the center. Adkinson made a twenty yardgain to right and was finely brought down by Heringand Garry. The ball was again in midfield.

Finework by Beloit's runners stopped Hering in his tracks.But the 'Varsity full back made a dive in the line andten yards were gained. Then Nichols executed atwenty-yard run past middle field.

Then Allen was pushedin the mass across the goal line and Gale made a goodkick. The score was IO to o.Hering recovered the ball for fifteen yards andNichols bore it in a twenty-yard run past middlefield.' Knapp and Coy made small gains. The ballwas fumbled. Coy picked it up and gained fiveyards. Nichols, Gale and Allen had the ball at thetwenty-yard line when the captain dropped it andBeloit took a turn. There were slight gains and finestops until Adkinson ran twenty yards to the right,with fine interference, and was brought down byNichol's tackle. Wheeler had cleared five yards whenthe 'Varsities got the ball on off side play. ThenCoy, McCaskill, Knapp, Gale and Nichols took theleather far toward the south. Beloit returned theball, carried by Wood, Wheeler, Hollister and Adkin­son. Hering had made a fine tackle' of Hollisterfrom behind when the 'Varsity took the ball on offside play.

Failurehas a dignity of its own. It is born of effort. Half­success is a mushroom growth, born of impulse.

Theman of half-successes is forever precluded alike fromgaining the heights, and - from sinking down into thedepths, where the seeds of great things lie.
