UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. VOL. IV, NO.9.CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, NOVEMBER 28, 1�N5.LEFT I\GI\IN.Once saw I Love, on a fair summer dayClad in a little coat of robin-blue,Running of errands; but he stopped to say,"Some message," laughing, "may I bear from you? "NIHIL."Swea messenger," quoth I, with a caress,"Take thou this heart (pray handle it with careFor it is fragile) unto the address, Mine own dear love, 14 Olympus Square.' "Away he ran, nor was he absent long."They said;" he murmured, mocking, when he came,"The address that you gave me must be wrong,There is nobody there who owns that name.""THE 'v I\RSITY GUI\RD:'J AMB;S WEBER LINN.In August Fred Orton met Frances Townsend, andfell in love, or thought he, did, which is the samething. In September, "sighing like a furnace" be­ing passe, he compromised by sticking so closely toMiss Townsend's side that her friends called him"Fanny's footman," and his friends called him (con­fidentially) an ass. By October, Fred was swimmingin a deliciously pleasant sea of doubts, fears andhopes, out of which he was rudely dragged to face thefact of Miss Townsend's departure. But before shewent, she gave him her solemn promise to come to thegame Thanksgiving Day and see him play. So shewent away and Fred came back to Chicago and startedin on his fall work in football. Whether he lovedher or not, he was very sure; whether she loved him,he was very dubious; and between the knowledgeand the doubt he was very unhappy . Now this wasthe prologue, the preface I tell you so that you mayunderstand the story. But Walton and McMillan,the captain and trainer, knew nothing about this;and consequently they did not understand the story.N either did the fellows, of course; and none of themever will.And so neither the team, nor the captain nor JackMcMillan knew what was wrong with Fred Orton.He didn't play the game he was capable of, that wasevident. The year before, he had shown up, a fresh­man, and by good hard work had earned a place atguard. He had played the championship game inbetter form than at any other time in the season, andshown great promise for next year. But now nextyear was come and his promise did not develop. Oneday, after Chaddock, the Beloit guard, had madeholes through him "big enough for a drove of ele­phants" Herndon said, and finished up by breaking through and getting the quarter-back before he gotthe ball away, Walton and McMillan held a consulta­tion:"Jack," said Walton, "What's the matter withOrton?"_ "I don't know, Mr. Waltoa : he seems tobe off his feed, some way," answered McMillan. "Ishe breaking training, do you think? '} asked the cap­tain. "No, sir, I don't think he is; fact is, I amsure he isn't; he ain't that kind of a man. I'll tellyou, Mr. Walton, he's worrying about something.Has his father lost any money lately? " " Nonsense,Jack," Walton broke in. "I don't know his people,except his father by reputation, and financially be'sas solid as the rock of ages. None of his family aresick, either, for I asked him, so it can't be anythinglike that. I am blowed if I know what it is, though;I wish I did. He's too good a man to lose, confoundit! He surely isn't overtrained. I haven't givenhim work enough to hurt a baby, and yet he stoodthere and let that big brute Chaddock push himaround, that he ought to play horse with. I don'tknow what's the matter with him."Thus the righteously indignant Walton, rubbinghis head. Jack grunted, but said nothing. FinallyWalton said, with a sigh, "Well, old man, jolly himup the best way you can, and I'll have a talk with'him myself. He's got to brace: he's the only manwe have to hold that new man Michigan picked upout in Montana, and he's got to play ThanksgivingDay, and play his game or we're licked, that's all."As for Fred, he was very sure he was playing ashard as he knew how. He was a conscientious fel­low, who played as much because he thought it washis duty to his University as because he liked it.Certainly he was doing all he could, and when Wal-632 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.When long ago I used ter go with things thet's good ter eat,ing.

There is no doubt but thatthis opinion was at one time held, but of recent years it hasundergone a remarkable change. Now they look upon themas giants of unknown strength and fortitude, rather under civil­ized no doubt, but still worthy opponents for the more cult­ured and better coached athlete of the East.

The University is only three years old. Itopened its doors in 1892. Being so young, with somany traditions to hamper it, it has three womendeans and half a dozen women on its faculty. Itswomen professors instruct men as well as women, sothat President Harper has made as sensational a de­parture as he could make in gathering in the lecturehalls of this enormous institution, which has sproutedin the night like the mushroom, college boys and col­lege girls to be taught together by college women."In this and in one other particular, the life in theDormitories, Chicago differs from Ann Arbor and allother co-educational colleges. In the clever articlebefore quoted from is a summary from Ann Arbor life.Ann Arbor has no women professors. Except in recitationor study hours, its cam pus is swept clear of women. Bandedinto their own merry, wholesome clubs, or gathered in board­ing-houses, the girls of this bright, breezy northern town livethe brightest, breeziest life to be found on this continent; sub­ject to no rules but those of their own making, a communitywithin a community, self-respecting, but free as the prairiewind.This is the Western ideal of independence carried out to itsfullest expression. Foreigners wonder at it ; even Easternersraise their eyebrows; but the Ann Arbor girl laughs, settlesher cushions in front of her girl bachelor fireside, and plunges into her books with a serene scorn of ignorant folk who can'tunderstand her perfect ability to live her own life in her ownway."At Chicago it is different. Here the one thingwhich has made the University the most radical andyet conservative of schools, is the women's quad­rangle. Out of the 1,400 students in the Universityabout 450 are women, and a third of these live in thethree dormitories which are named after their doners,Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Kelly, and Mrs. Beecher. Eachhall has a "head," a woman selected by the trusteesfrom the faculty; one who is hostess at all socialevents connected wlth her hall, and with whom thegirls may consult or advise in their social life, as theywould with their mothers in their own homes. Eachhouse has also a house counsellor, who is a man, anda member of the faculty. The counsellors do notseem to have found their duties very arduous as yet.All rules connected with the girls have been intro­duced and voted upon by the house-members them­selves) with the one exception of "Chaperonage,"which was prescribed by the University but whichreceives the heartiest indorsement from the students.Every new comer is a guest for six weeks. Then ifeligible she is voted in a house-member. All under­graduate students are expected to consult with thehead of the house before going out for the evening;to be in before ten-fifteen except by special arrange­ment, and to be suitably provided with chaperonage­even the father or brother do not visit a girl in herrooms unless c : the head of the house and every girlrooming on that floor has been notified; so that theremay be no study gowns or negligees flitting throughthe corridors." Call nights except in rare cases, arereserved, by general wish of the students, for Fridayand Saturday evenings, when no uncanny visions ofunprepared recitations for the following day interfere.The home life of a girl could not be more careful­often it is less so-and yet, the numberless trivial andpetty rules so often imposed in women's colleges areentirely absent here. The life is a sane, wholesome,elevating one. The girls study hard,-as a rule standhigh in their classes-frequently do extra voluntarywork in music or art-and with all this are the bestexponents of the typical American girl-the brightmerry girl to whom the best and brightest possibili­ties of life seem open.As they sit, forty or fifty of them at small tables,scattered round the dining-room, and talk of organ­izing basket ball teams, of short spins down the Mid­way on wheels, of the Dramatic Club and GrandOpera; and of the" Thanksgiving football game, it iseasily apparent that Zenophon or Parabolic Curves orGerman Lyrics hold no undue place in their schemeof life. One characteristic, indeed, of the women inthe University is the amount of genuine, steady workdone in a wholesome, normal way, without that sense6:14 • UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY .of anxiety and worry so often seen in women's col­leges.Sometimes on an "off night," five or six girlsgather round a chafing-dish, while the wonderfulcollege-patented " fudges" are made. Vigorousstirring accompanies an animated conversation as towhether sleeves of gowns are to droop or flare outstraight this year and as to whether rough or smooth. dress goods are to be worn; for "girls stay girls"even in the" classic halls of learning." The roomsin the halls are bright with pictures, rugs, soft hang­ings and many down cushions. A cot, converted forthe day into a cozy divan piled with pillows, is inmost of the rooms, accompanied by a five o'clock tea­table with brass tea-pot and dainty china, in whichmany a social cup is brewed and drunk.A recent article on girl life at the University con­tains the following:Healthy, level-headed. not carried away by their emotions,they seem to be steadied by the life of the campus, the closerintimacy with college men, the spirit of the quadrangle.There is less of the hysterical in their mental activity than inthe women's college.Naturally the girls take to languages and literature, and yetmuch of the best work they have done has been in mathe­matics and the sciences, In whatever lecture-room they enterit would be hard to find the man who has not a wholesome re­spect for their abilities. More than a hundred of the womenstudents are graduates of other colleges, here for advancedwork, and this gives something of maturity to the women'squadrangle. There are Vassar girls and Wellesley girls andgirls from Oxford and Cambridge, come West to completetheir studies at this university, only three years old.The social life is quite as full as the student life.Dances, dinners, coaching-parties, concerts, operasand teas, leave few spare moments for listless revery;while the monthly receptions give that most valuableof all training, an opportunity for social culture; forat these receptions one meets many men and womenof many climes; town people, University people, art­ists and musicians, and the girls here encounter andsolve the same problems and difficulties which willconfront them in their social life after they leave col­lege. The head of the house puts these receptionsentirely into the hand of the young women. Differ­ent committees are formed for pouring tea, ushering,and for. the various other duties which a reception en­tails. To entertain well and without friction, becomesno small matter, when three to four hundred guestsare received in one afternoon.The cap and gown, which, from its very staidnessis universally becoming, is en regle for any official oc­casion.Take it as you see it, the social life of the Uni­versity is singularly wholesome. More radical in itsco-education than any other school in the country, itis yet more conservative in its observance of sociallaws. Phenomenal in its growth, incomprehensibleto slower-going communities, this giant university of the middle West knows no sex in extending its educa­tional privileges. President Harper is a man in amillion, but he has an inspiration in the bright eyeswhich make glad the women's quadrangle. E. S.A Contrast.One sits alone in his bare cold room,His trousers bagged at the knee,He is lonely there in the gathering gloom­An object of sympathy.There is never a girl that knoweth him,Not one that he knoweth of,But he sits while the twilight groweth dim,Writing a song of love.The other lolls in an easy chair,Making a party call,There are many maidens around him there,And he has a "stand in" with all.Oh many the girls that are fond of him,And many that he's fond of,But sitting there in the lamplight dim,He never thinks of love!The Quadrangle Club.In a short time the foundation for the new buildingof the Quadrangle Club will be in place and the mem­bers expect the club-house to be finished by May I.The club house will be on the southeast corner of Fifty­eighth street and Lexington avenue, opposite the eastentrance to the University grounds. The building inexterior outline will conform to the surrounding styleof architecture and will be of pressed prick threestories high.

A gymnasium, baths,'lockers and stewart's rooms will be provided for onthe third floor and in the basement a kitchen and by­cycle room will be provided for. A veranda in colon­ial design will extend the. entire south side of thebuilding.The following extracts from the by-laws of the clubwill give some ideas of the objects of the club:The Quadrangle Club is instituted for the association ofmem­bers of the Faculties of the University of Chicago and othersinterested in Literature, Science or Art.Members of the faculties or of the Boards of Trustees of TheUniversity of Chicago, and Members of the Staff or of theBoard of Trustees of The Field Columbian Museum, and otherpersons interested in Literature, Science or Art, may be admit­ted to membership in the Club upon election by the Counciland payment of the initiation fee.Application for membership must be made in writing to thesecretary and must be indorsed by at least two resident mem­bers of the Club.

Northrup, Jr.A Thanksgiving Romance,A TRUE STORY OF RURAL LIFE.It was a perfect night -clear, crisp and bracing. Apure white mantle of new-fallen snow was daintilyspread over field and farm and over hillside and val­ley. The full moon poured a flood of silvery radianceover all the landscape, limning out the distant churchspires 'gainst a star-bespangled sky. The town hallclock in the far- off village had chimed the hour ofeleven, and save for its ringing echoes, no sound brokethe solemn stillness of the night. It was a night forpoets' fancy and for lovers' dreams. With noiselessfootsteps on the deserted woodway and with armsclasped lovingly about each other's waist, two con­genial souls wended their way toward the village.They had been attending a husking-bee and hadchosen to walk home in the glorious moonlight wherethey might give full utterance to their soul's longings,rather than join the noisy sleigh load of revellers.They were supremely happy as might be told by thelook of perfect bliss that beamed from their counte­nances. They seemingly heeded not the weary miles,nor the lateness of the hour. N either had spoken formany minutes. There seemed to be no need for words.Instinctively they nudged closer to each other as theyproceeded. Each seemed anxious to speak and yetseemed too full of emotion to do justice to the su bj ectuppermost in mind. At last, just as they were pass­ing a vine-covered cottage on the hill-top, a sweettender voice broke upon the stillness of the night:"Oh, Fred! "" Yes."" Have you any more of that good tobacco? ""Cert., Jimmy, help yourself," and he passed overthe plug with his disengaged hand.And the moon shone on, and the snow staid rightthere, and everything was just the same as in theopening chapter.The Football Man.He comes into class very late with a slow, swinginggait and takes his seat in the front row. The entireclass raise their eyes from their books for a moment,and peeping over the edges of their uplifted copies ofLivy , watch him as he sinks heavily into his chair."Just look at those shoulders!" whispers one youngwoman to another, under her breath.After a time the professor says, with an apologetic smile, "Mr. --, will you please continue?" Thebroad shoulders straighten up for a moment and thenthe class await in death-like silence for Mr. -- tobegin. The reply is not unexpected and comes veryquickly, " I am not prepared this morning, professor,"he says pleasantly, and an audible whisper "toobad," goes around the class, whilst the professor, stillsmilling, occupies himself with drawing a certaingeometrical figure after Mr. --'s, name in the littlebook before him. A moment later the instructor callson the shrunken" shrimp" of a youth sitting along­side of the polite "flunker" and the "shrimp" be­comes the enemy of the class afterwards by giving aperfect recitation. The professor smiles maliciouslyat the idol of the class and five minutes later dismissesclass as the bell rings. The men hurry pell-rnellthrough the door and crowd about the young manwith the sturdy shoulders and long hair and then thestorm breaks forth. " Say, old man, is your leg a11right yet?" "How's your arm?" " That was aa bird of a tackle you" made in the North westeangame." "Going to play Saturday?" " Thinkwe'll beat Michigan?" ., Say, Jack, that run ofyours yesterday was a daisy."A few minutes later, after the crowd have all dis­persed, the "shrimp" is seen to -steal quietly up tothe football head and say, "Excuse me, Mr. --,but couldn't I translate to-morrow's Latin lesson foryou?" I think I could help you a little, I'm sorrythat-that-""Oh, that's all right, old man, I'm very muchobliged to you, come over and dine with me at thetraining table to-night, and we'll talk it over." Andthe" shrimp" walked off treading on air.A Thanksgiving Sonnet.How pompous, grand, how selfish, proud wert thou!Thy plumage! mottled with the tints of sky.Thy presidential mien!

Thanksgiving is the day when theTHANKSGIVING. student away from home confesses toa certain feeling of" thoughtfulness" that is suspic­iously akin to home-sickness. It doesn't seem a bit"like Thanksgiving." He indulges, indeed, in allthe time-honored accompaniments of the day. Hesits down to a more sumptuous repast of turkey andpumpkin pie than he had ever known at home, andhe gathers around the open fire afterwards with somefriends to crack nuts and tell stories just as he hadalways done before. But somehow the turkey doesn'ttaste as it ought to and the gayety seems half-hearted.In truth, Thanksgiving Day away from home is acontradiction of terms. �t isn't the pumpkin pie andturkey that mark out Thanksgiving Day from allothers and give it its charm over the heart. It is thestrong power of the home-feeling; that quiet satisfyingundertone of emotion, over the surface of which dashthe merriment and jest and accompanying good feeling. of the occasion. It is the" quiet joy" of gatheringround the familiar board again; with " the old brokenlinks of affection restored;' Without this, fill up as AFOOTBALL.REVIEW. Three years ago to-day the University ofChicago played with the University ofIllinois, the first of its annual Thanks-giving Day games. The team at that time was noth­ing more than an experiment. Western football wasin a state of chaotic ignorance; scientific knowledgeof the game was confined to one institution. Highschool teams were almost unknown; club teamsentirely so. A game was a series of rough and tum­bles and scrambles, witnessed by from two to fivehundred people. At that first Thanksgiving game,Illinois won 28-12, the game being played at Cham­paign. The next year the three-year agreement withMichigan was entered into, which expires to-day.Michigan, thoug� defeated earlier in the season by ascore of 10-6, won the first of the series 28-10 beforeeighteen hundred people. Last year she won again6-4, and fifty-one hundred saw the victory. This year,who knows but, victory or defeat, ten thousandpeople will be there to cheer us on? So the attend­ance grows from year to year, in keeping with the skillof the teams. Interest throughout thecountry too hasincreased at a rate proportional to this increase in theinterest and skill in the colleges. The time is not fardistant, it is hoped, when, as in most all human affairs,the West will out-place the East in this popular gameof football, and the greatest interest will be centeredin the contests between the East and West, rather thanin those between the teams of either district alone.The WEEKLY'S publication of" Songs andSONGSAND CHEERS. Cheers" of last week met with the generalfavor of the students. Time has beengiven in which to learn the songs; other songs havealso been written; leaders have been appointed to leadin the singing and cheering; and if the students keepwell together at the ga,me this morning, our visitorsUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.may well wonder at the amount of college spirit whichhas developed at our University within three shortyears.In order that everyone may be supplied with acopy of the songs and cheers, the WEEKLY repub­lishes in this issue the same verses which are to befound in the pamphlet of last week's edition. Cop":ies of this WEEKLY are to be distributed among thespectators.CASPAR WHITNEY Caspar Whitney devotes the majorON WESTERN part of his 'space this week to an at­ATHLETICS. tack on western athletics. Since theappearance of Harper's Weekly of November 23, theWest can well understand the spirit in which most ofthe eastern colleges view Mr. Whitney's utterances.Setting aside the references in the article to the ex­treme west and south, concerning which the WEEKLYis not accurately informed, charges in detail remainagainst Minnesota, Michigan, Northwestern, andChicago. . Most of the charges are entirely misstate­ments. Indeed, Mr. Whitney is sometimes ludi­crously wrong, as for instance when he quotes againstMichigan the sentence from the U. of M. Daily, "if. a good full-back does not turn up, Brown of the C. A.A. will be secured." As everyone knows, this sen­tence appeared in a letter to the Daily from a formerMichigan student, anent the Chicago team, and wassimply a ridiculous attempt to cast a slur at Chicago.It was commented on by the WEEKLY at the time.Mr. Whitney is basing his arguments on somethinghe knows absolutely nothing about. Other misstate­ments of fact concerning Chicago are: that Ewingis a paid instructor, that Stagg and Nichols competedin "amateur games" since they came to Chicago,where "prizes were given," and that Nichols is apaid instructor or trainer. These mistakes are mademore keen because Mr. Whitney is undoubtedly hon­est, though exceedingly in error, in making thecharges.The Times-Herald of Monday morning contains along article which not only gives a thoroughly com­plete answer to Mr. Whitney's recent charges, butalso shows the absolute absurdity of the "critics'"attempt to promiscuously condemn the athletics ofthe West on the information obtained from some"sore-head," of depraved imagination. The WEEKLYwould suggest that Mr. Whitney secure a more trust­worthy means of gaining information. DUKE OR Under the caption: "Duke or University," theUNIVERSITY? the Boston Herald of November II, has a fineeditorial extolling the gift of Mr. Rockefellerto found a great American university, rivalling even Berlin, asset over against that huge lump of wealth which goes out ofthe country in the marriage of Miss Vanderbilt to a foreignno bleman _ -Exchange.This comparison can be appreciated by even ourmost rabid critics. Much of the money earned in' theUnited States goes to other countries for investmentor expenditure. But foreign commercial investmentwe may not criticise so easily as the_ foolish gifts ofmillions in exchange for foreign titles, the spirit ofwhich is' opposed to democracy. Such transactionspoint, in most cases, not to the supposed refinementor culture of the parties concerned, but to theircoarseness. It is this" Mr. Newby Rich" style ofaristocracy which puts Europeans to laughing, at us,and which is a potent cause of discontent amongthose who work with their hands. Jay Gould diedas selfishly as he lived; Vanderbilt money goes toan English duke. Carnegie builds libraries; Mr.Rockefeller, feeling the responsibilities of his steward­ship, is generous in a thousand ways of which thepublic will ever be ignorant. His fatherhood of thisUniversity represents only a part of his beneficence,for he gives most of his money according to the in­j uuction : "Let not thy left' hand know what thyright hand doeth ."The idea seems to be prevalent among acertain class of people, especially thoseimbued with the enlightened moral con­dition to infallibility of the preceding generations,that the morals of the American colleges are very low,and especially so as compared with the standard of aCOLLEGEMORALITY.generation ago. Sentiments of this kind were ex­pressed at the Convention of Christian Workers, heldat New Haven during the past month, by the wife ofone of the city's pastors. She said:We have seeu more boys ruined at Yale than I can enumer­ate. The first year they have come here as good mothers'sons, the second year we have seen them with pipes in theirmouths, and the third year we have not seen them at all. Ashort time ago I read a statement by President Dwight, inwhich he said he could advise mothers to send their sons toYale College with an assurance that they would not be spoiled.It was taken up in the Outlook and spread abroad ill the coun­try. I want to say before the �eporters, and I would say itbefore President Dwight himself-I would as soon send mysons to hell as to send them to Yale College.Endowment funds .Buildings and grounds . . .Libraries, apparatus, equipment •638 UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKL''-:,'.In an instant there were a dozen men and womenon their feet one of whom being recognized replied inthe following manner:I am a graduate of Yale. When my boy was old enough togo to college, I hesitated about sending him to Yale or anyother college, but I sent him to Yale, and he has been here forthree years. During that time I have been watching Yalethrough his eyes, and I have come to the conclusion that Yaleis morally, intellectually and spiritually better to-day than itwas thirty years ago. I can commend Yale College to anyChristian mother who has a Christian boy. I think if shesends her boy to Yale she will find he will be helped from allsources.This reply in itself should be a sufficient ,guaranteeto all fair minded people that colleges are safe placesto send sons who are blessed in some degree withmoral fibre.It is surprising in this enlightened age, which istruly indicated by the constantly increasing number ofeducational institutions, and which in no small degreeis a result of their patient labors and sacrifices, thatthe fundamental moral conditions of one of the mostprominent of these institutions should be questioned.That the sum total of depravity in all the collegesmay be greater there can be little doubt, but it mustbe remembered that the number of institutions andstudents enrolled has been doubled again and again.To think for a moment that the immorality has in­creased in greater, or even in similar proportion is in­conceivable, appalling, and above all, uri-American.Power of Prayer.Rev. Mr. Lamar, a Baptist minister from Texas,gave the chapel-talk Friday, speaking on " Prayer."He said in substance: "Our life is impotent unless weexcel in at least one accomplishment. It is' right tobe ambitious." " And if I were asked what one art Idesire most to excel in, I should say the art of prayer.""What we need in our churches to-day is not somuch scholarly attainments -we have plenty' ofscholars in the pulpit- but we need most the menwho know how .to dwell in the secret place of theMost High."Financial Resources of the University.The following figures on the amount of subscrip­tions to the University, the present assets and theendowments have been compiled on the authority ofDr. T. W. Goodspeed, secretary of the Board of Trus­tees. The total amount subscribed is about $10,5°0.-000. Of the amount pledged prior to the late gift of$3,000,000, by Mr. Rockefeller, $6,100,000 had beenpaid, and was distributed as follows: · $3,500,000· 1,950,000650,000$6, roo, 000, About $600,000 of the total amount paid in has beenused to defray current expenses, leaving $3,800,000yet to be paid in.. This includes the late gift of Mr.Rockefeller, the $250,000 from the Reynolds estate,what is expected to be realized from the remainder ofthe Ogden estate, and other smaller sums. Of theprospective $5,000,000, it is probable that $3,000,000will be devoted to endowment, making the total en­dowment $6,5°0.000.

Minnesota seemed disheartened by Michigan's pow­erful defense and attacked WIth little spirit. Aside from aquestion of comparison, it is well that the score was so decisive.A victory over Michigan to-day, will of course, give us thechampionship without question, and a defeat will be far fromdishonorable.The football season in the East is over, and Yale is again atthe top.

Yale's decisive win from Princeton, in the face of thedisheartening reports that have been sent out from New Haven,show again how little confidence may be placed in the annual"Yale howl." .Priuceton lost the game by her weakness inpunting, as did Harvard, for that matter-Thorne and Brookeproving greatly superior to Baird and Brewer.Pennsylvania's game with Cornell to-day is really an anti­climax and can have no possible bearing on the championship,even if Cornell should win. The season is over-Pennsylvaniahas had her chance and lost it. The West will rank her belowPrinceton and almost below Harvard. Probably the fifth bestteam in the East this year, among college elevens, is WestPoint, with Brown, Cornell, Lafayette and Carlisle followingclose.The situation in the West has narrowed down to the gameon the 'Varsity grounds to-day; the winner is the undoubtedchampion, as was said last week. Northwestern's defeat by.Champaign was not at all unexpected. Amherst and Wiscon­sin, losing the one game in the year that they cared about,disbanded; but Northwestern went on, in a half-hearted way,down to worse and worse defeat. The size of the score, 38-4,shows what a farce the game was. Purdue and Illinois playto-day, it is doubtful whether Illinois can win from the black­smiths.Other prominent games scheduled for to-day are:C. A. A. versus B. A.

This artist is one of the mostsensational now before the public. Heis known popularly in Europe as "Themodern Paganini." His playing is saidto be brilliant and inspiring in the high­est degree. His selections are calculatedto bring out these qualities, the first be­ing the vigorous Dvorak concerto forviolin and orchestra and the otherErnst's sensational "Hungarian airs."His New York appearances were highlysuccessful.Life, verve, sweep; a daring, bold, ag­gressive performance; the first playedwith an elan and authority and a 1nag­netic fire which drew the audience COUl­pletely, the second with a shiver of feel­ing in its veins, a touch of genuineheartbreak that proved Ondricek a playerof fine strung temperament just as muchas of strong dramatic fibre. He playedwith technique, so to speak, aud dazzledthe house by the simple mastery of ddii­culties which make average playerswince. Nowaud again he was reckless,and the techuique suffered somewhat,but the lapses" ere pardonable. A finespirit not to be measured by a foot-ruleor fettered too unfalteringly by detailmade itself felt in Ondricek. Afler theHungarian dances Itis populartty withthe audience teas assured.-N. Y.
