UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Single Copies10 Cents. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, DECEMBER 5, 1�95. VOL. IV, No. 10.LOVE LEFT BEHIND.AGNES SPOFFORD COOK.The poet walks in the autumn hills,And his thoughts are sad as the autumn wind.His joy is gone with the summer flowers,With the violet-beds and the rose-bloom bowers.. He sings" The summer will not stay,The dear green leaves are fallen away,Love will be left behind! "The birch has her winding sheet of gold,The oak is a crimson king;But all the birds of the forest worldThat saw the maple leaves unfurledHave come to the autumn bourgeoning.But the kindling color soon fades cold;When the look of the forest grows less kind,Will Love be left behind? Far across the open woldThe sad wind sweeps the leaves away.He whirls them out to the open sky,And lets them go for a year and a day,And the autnmn is gone with their beauty bold.But we care not where their gold is mined,If Love be left behind.o sad heart poet, be not blind,Like the morning wind of the summer lorn ;Love for the summer wilt.never mourn.But Love will stay when the bright days go,For Love laughs loud at the stinging snow.Poet soul, .with the old, old strife,This be the joy of thy earth-bound life,. Love will be left behind.TUTOR I\Nb PUPIL.THEODORE M. HAMMOND.WANTED.-Tutor in Latin, Grammar and PrbseComposition, to prepare me for U. of C. entrance ex­amination in December. Must be well qualified. 'Onehour daily. Address LATIN, WEEKLY Office:.The above advertisement in the WEEKLY, iastAugust, elicited many replies, all couched in the bestof English, and all expressing a sincere desire forappointment to the coveted position. Winifred Eth­eridge, the Woodlawn belle who had inserted the" ad ;"received her package of letters from the WEE�LYoffice, and hurried home to spend an interesting hourin perusing the labored efforts. She had decided, first,that she wanted a man for her tutor, so she discardedall feminine applications; second, he must be rankedat least as high as a graduate student, and this dis­posed of seven undergraduates' letters; third,. hemust be an experienced teacher, exit two who. are"compelled by adverse circumstances to resort to thismethod, etc." This left but two to choose from. Adainty note, asking the recipient to call at No. -­Oglesby avenue, was dispatched to these two appli­cants, and as a result of the interviews Clarence Ral­eigh was duly engaged to spend the hour from 7 : 30to 8 : 30 each evening except Sunday at the Ether­idge mansion, inducting the fair Winifred into themystery of beginning Latin. - He walked back to Graduate Hall in a rather dazedcondition, struggling to convince himself that it waseither a too hearty dinner at the Rosalie, or a lack ofsleep for the last few nights that made him feel so fever­ish and confused. He was more than confident of him­self, as a Latin teacher, hence it could not be profes­sional nervousness or" stage fright," for had he not forthree years taught beginning Latin in a -young ladies'seminary, and come out heart whole and fancy free?He went directly to bed but not to sleep; he reso­lutely turned his thoughts to football, theme work,theses, glee clubs and, as a last resort, religion, butthe fair face of his new-found pupil rose ever beforehim and banished every other vision of the night.Toward morning he fell into a troubled sleep, filledwith visions of Psyche knots, clinging draperies, andmelting eyes. He 'awoke and went to a breakfast ofstrong coffee and hot rolls, then returned to his class­room work saying repeatedly to himself that he mustnot let his stomach get the better of his Judgment.By a rigorous application of a strong will power hesucceeded in convincing himself during the day thathis experience of the evening before was buta trou­blesome incident, and shortly after seven he wendedhis way toward Oglesby avenue, firm in the intentionto pay strict heed to business and' relegate self to thebackground.she went with him to the door and stepped out uponthe porch in the radiant moonlight. It seemed toClarence that no more radiant dream of loveliness everappeared to mortal before. "What a perfectly gor­geous evening!" she said enthusiastically. "Itseems almost a sin to stay indoors such a night asthis and struggle with declensions." Clarence wasquick to suggest a stroll and she as readily assented.While she was engaged in slipping on her wrapsClarence made up his mind that this was his goldenopportunity and that he would end the agony to-night.They strolled down the gayly lighted Midway andunder the viaduct, out into Jackson Park, and seatedthemselves on a bench on Wooded Island, overlook­ing the gaunt and ghastly skeleton of the Govern­ment building. They talked of the' glories of thedeparted Fair, of the beauty of the reconstructedpark; of bicycling, of tennis, of football, of the Uni­versity, and by a natural course of conversation, cameback to the subject of entrance examination. "Oh!dear I " she sighed, "I shall think you are too lovelyfor anything if you get me so I can pass that exami­nation, or ' exam,' as you slangy students say! "With a mighty effort, Clarence drew himself to­gether. "Miss Etheridge," he said, II I am offereda full professorship in the Ohio State University, be­ginning the first of January, at a salary of three thou­sand dollars! "" How lovely! and you will go? "" Miss Etheridge,-Winifred, it is useless to parrywords or dodge the issue. I love you, madly, devot­edly, insanely-you know it, - you love me and Iknow it. Shall I accept this position and take youwith me? Shall Christmas be our wedding day? ,'," Mr. Raleigh, you are wrong, I do not love you,and I shall not be your bride. Now, kindly take mehome. Papa will send you a check for your servicesto-morrow.' ," But--Winifred-"" Miss Etheridge.""Pardon, Miss Etheridge, surely you --""That is all, Mr. Raleigh, will you escort mehome, or shall I go alone? "Rapidly and silently they retraced their steps untilthe Etheridge mansion was reached. At the entrance,Clarence released his arm and said feebly, "Is thereno hope, Miss Etheridge? "" None, whatever, sir," she replied, and, softly clos­ing the door behind her she repaired quickly to herboudoir.Clarence walked home.644 UNIVERS1TY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.The servant ushered him to the library, and prompt­ly as the little French clock struck the half hour,Miss Winifred floated lightly into the room. She wascertainly radiant, and as she drew a chair up to thecenter table with a cherry ., Delighted to note you areso prompt, Mr. Raleigh," Clarence felt that his wholeday's exercise of will' power had gone for naught.He knew that his time had come, and that his pupilwas his captor, and he determined then and there tosubmit and to win her fairly and honorably. Hebraced himself and attacked the subject of Latin witha vigor that surprised even himself. He ramified andsystematized and expatiated with a completeness andsuccinctness that would put Messrs. Allen and Green­ough or William Gardiner Hale to shame. It wasafter ten 0' clock before he scarce took time to breathe,and Miss' Etheridge was delighted. She expressedher appreciation in no unstinted terms. She did nothesitate to tell him that she was sure there was agreat future for him, and that she was confident shewould progress rapidly in her work. She bade him akindly good-night and expressed the hope that shewould be as well, prepared the next evening as hemight hope to find her.Clarence walked home along the Midway andbreathed the pure night air in absolute rapture. Hefelt that he was a new man; that a new, sweet, glor­ious existence - had opened before him. The softnight wind fanned his cheeks and it seemed to him aheavenly -zephyr; the far off clang of the cable carbell was as the music of the spheres,-it was such anight as a man experiences but once in a life-time.Every word that she 'had uttered was burned deepinto his soul and her every look was indelibly photo­graphed in his heart of hearts.That night he formed an intelligent plan of action.He knew that she admired him; he realized that theimpression he had made could not but ripen intoiove for him if it had not already done so-but hewould not be too precipitous; he would attend strictly, to his duties as instructor until matters should have soprogressed that to conceal their mutual affection fromeach other longer would be folly, then there shouldbe a few glad words and he should hold his Winifredclose to his heaving bosom and all should be serene.To cut a long story short, he carried out his pro­gramme faithfully; evening after evening he went tothe house, gave his lesson, chatted merrily a few mo­ments and bade her good-night. A few times she hadoffered him her hand at parting. Latterly she accom­panied him to the door herself instead of calling aservant to show him out.

N. c. R.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Chicago Sketches.THE SUPER.He was standing in the midst of a crowd of supersawaiting the rise of the curtain. He was clothed in"chain armor" and in his hand he held a nine-footspear, whilst an emblazoned shield swung at hisshoulder. Around and about him gleamed the flash­ing helmets, spears, and armor. Bright-eyed .women,in costumes 'of all cuts and colors, stood near him, bow­ing, talking, and smiling at him. An indescribableodor of fresh paint, burning gas, and wet saw-dusthung heavily over the stage and made him feel ratherfaint. It was unique, a gala scene.Suddenly the orchestra struck up the first few notes. of the overture, the spears of the supers clanked nerv­ously together, the principals arranged themselves intheir places and then the curtain began to go up. Itwas a moment of awful suspense. The audience be­gan to applaud, the leader of the orchestra signaledfor a pianissimo effect, there was a sudden lull, andthen, just as the prima-donna was about to begin herfirst solo, the army of supers raised aloft their spearsand with a mighty sounding "Chicago! Chicago!Chicago-go! Go it Chica! Go it Chica! Go it Chica­go !" shook the auditorium stage.It was a wonderfully strange happening. Some­thing seemed to be wrong somewhere, even he felt it.The cold sweat started from his brow, his breathcame hard, he turned restlessly on his bed and thenawoke. "Well," he exclaimed after a reassuringpause, during which he gazed sleepily around at hismuch bedighted college walls, " the next time I 'supe'in an opera, I'll not indulge myself in free lunch and. Budweiser after the play." C. S. P.AT THE CONCERT.The leader lifts his hand, and instantly the air isfull of music. Wildly and sadly moan the violins; ahuman soul is struggling with temptation, and in themusic we read the story of its conflict. At first itstrives in agony to free itself from the snares woundabout it; again and again it shakes them off, but issurrounded by them anew. At last it weakens,ceases to struggle, and finally abandons itself to sin.And now as though to forget itself and its fall itplunges headlong into mad revelling. Wilder andwilder grows the music as the soul sinks deeper anddeeper into evil; but in the midst of the wild tumultthe knell of its eternal doom breaks upon its ear,awful and distinct. For an instant the soul pausesshuddering; but the warning has come too late, andonce more it turns back, going yet deeper into thedepths of sin. Again, and yet again sounds the fear­ful summons, each time louder and more insistent,but apparently unheeded, until it rings out the last terrible call, and then the soul awakens to find itselfon the verge of the endless hereafter, nothing beforeit but death, or something worse than death, and withone despairing cry it sinks down, crushed and broken.An instant of awful silence succeeds, then far away,and faintly the great organ begins to play. Softly,at first, comes the music, but gradually increases un­til at the climax of its power the organ is joined bythe whole orchestra. and with one glorious rush ofmelody the soul seems to stand in the very midst ofthe universe while around it, wave on wave, surges themusic of the spheres. Then comes the message clearand strong, thrilling through and through that de­spairing soul, "I am come that ye might have life .Life, not death, oh sinsick soul, is thy gift from God!"And looking up into the face of that loving, pityingGod the soul receives from him that gift of life, pur­chased for him by the life and death of God's ownSon ..The orchestra ceases, but the organ plays on for alittle while a hymn of glad thanksgiving, and thenthat too dies away into silence; and we feel as weturn away that we have had a glimpse of the infiniteand our life is the better for it.A QUERY.A and B are students of comparatively high stand­ing in their respective departments and are slightlyacquainted,-that is, they have boarded at the sameclub, have appeared in public events together, andpass the time of day on meeting. By reason of theirhumanity and residence in a civilized country, bothare supposed to be social beings .On a certain evening, by chance, they boarded thesame car, and rode side by side over a distance of sev­eral miles. Following is the conversation:B-" Do you go very far on this car?"A-" No."B-" Are you fond of football ?"A-" No-er-yes-" (drawing down, turtle-like,into his overcoat.)B-" I wonder if these jointless rails will stand thecold weather this winter."

Or is it character-Our Literary Societies.In the early history of the University all attemptsto organize and sustain students' literary societiesseemed vain. Several societies were organized, butthe many other opportunities' for intellectual culturepresented by a great University, together with thenumerous and varied attractions of a large city, ren­dered these attemps largely futile. Finally a generalstudents' organization, which has \ surmounted theseand many other obstacles, was perfected. This, theStudents' Oratorical Association, occupied the fieldalone for some two years. During this period regu­lar weekly meetings were held at which programs ofa general nature were presented. Through this, or­ganization the University secured recognition in theNorthern Oratorical League and likewise arrangedseveral inter-collegiate debates. Since the organiza­tion of other literary, societies has been accomplished,the Oratorical Association is assuming the position ofa general organization whose chief function' is to ar­range inter-collegiate oratorical and debating contests,the local work being left to other student bodies.About a year ago a number of undergraduates or­ganized the" Forum," a society that has done excel­lent work for its members. it holds regular meetingson Saturday evenings of each week, and at the presenttime numbers in its membership nineteen of the mostactive undergraduates.During the past week another students' literarysociety has been organized with a membership of four­teen. This is to be known as the Philolexian Liter­ary Society and will meet for the present fortnightly.No society in the University has been organized witha brighter outlook, and the "Philo'lexian" may beexpected speedily to take front rank in college literarycircles ..The programs of the two last named societies aregeneral in character, consisting of debates, essays,readings, orations, extemporaneous speaking andgeneral discusions. Applications for membership inthe" Forum" may be made to either S! C. Mosser, or W. H. Allen. For membership in the "Philo­-lexian," application may be made to either M. P.Frutchey or G. A. Dudley.The New Sanitary Laboratory.The laboratory, which was opened for the first timelast spring in the basement of Beecher Hall, is under­going repairs and improvements under the direction ofMiss Talbot and her assistant, Miss Cary, and will'shortly be� open for public inspection. With the ex­perience gained last spring, the outlook is promisingthat the course in' Foods offered in the winter quarterwill present unusual opportunities for the practicalstudy of a subject which is beginning to receive theattention its importance deserves.The laboratory contains several charts which picturein an effective way the composition of leading articlesof food, the amount of nutriments which can be pur­chased for twenty-five cents, the function of the chiefclasses of foods and the amount and proportion offoods which make up standard daily dietaries. Theprinciples which are thus shown are further repre­sented by a Food Museum of blocks and bottles whichform a series of object lessons in the chemistry andphysiology of food and dietaries.The laboratory also contains apparatus for thechemical examination of typical articles of food andfor the detection of adulterations, while opportunityis afforded or further work by means of the micro­scope.The class in Sanitation has used the laboratory thisquarter for experiments in determining the porosity ofdifferent kinds of soil and building materials, the dis­infecting power of earth, the quality of kerosene oiland other points of practical value in household sani­tation.It is quite fitting that such work as this should beincluded in the Department of Social Science for itdeals with matters whIch lie at the basis of all trueprogress in social reform. The knowledge gainedmay be directly applied in every household, but it is aUNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.curious fact that it is not the women of the country,but the men, who are most actively engaged in co­ordinating the results of other sciences to the problemsof household economics. The assertion is frequentlymade, and seldom challenged, that men are better. housekeepers than women. It certainly seems truethat the proper feeding of soldiers, athletics, prisoners,the sick and the insane is receiving more study frommen from a scientific standpoint than the food ofchildren and families is receiving from women, in spiteof the fact that this has for several generations beensupposed to be woman's special sphere.It is right that our University which is leading inso many new activities should stand ready to helpdirect public sentiment and interest in such pioneerwork as this.On Monday of this week Miss Talbot invited anumber of the professors and students to visit the newLaboratory.The Glee and Mandolin Clubs.For the past two months the University Glee andMandolin Clubs have been practicing hard and faith­fully, and are now nearing that state of accomplish­ment which the prospect of a prolonged Christmas tripmakes necessary. The clubs will make their ini­tial appearance at Downer's Grove to-night. Afterthat concert, others will follow in rapid succession.Very few if any appearances will be made in the cityuntil after the Central Music Hall concert in the earlypart of February. Neither of the clubs will appearseparately at a single concert this season, it being thedesire of the officers that the entire membership ofthirty-five shall represent the University on all occa­sions.The clubs have been materially strengthened thisfall, both in the number and the ability of the differ­ent members. Most of the former members have con­tinued their connection, and to these have been addedmany representatives from various outside collegemusical organizations.The program this season will be chiefly composedof original, new and popular songs, serious and comic,the most popular of last year's n um bers being used asencores. The Mandolin Club has mastered the intri­cacies of many of the new and beautiful compositions'of Signor Tomaso and is practicing with rigid regu-larity.Monday morning, Dec. 23, the clubs will leave forRacine via the Northwestern in a special car, drapedand festooned with endless maroon ribbons and ban­ners. Concerts will be given at Racine, Milwaukee,Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Appleton, Sheboygan, Elk­hart, Rockford and Freeport. Mr. Vaughn, manager,who has been guaranteed the expenses of the trip, isto be congratulated on the success of his efforts toprovide an inviting tour. The clubs are fortunate in having capable and pop­ular officers and leaders. Mr. H. R. Fling, presidentof the combined clubs, is a graduate student, havinghad long experience in other college glee clubs.' Hehas been for two years a member of the Universitychoir and glee club. It is entirely due to the geniusand tireless efforts or William S. Bond that the pres­ent excellence of the Mandolin Club, which he organ­ized and has led for three years, has been attained.Mr. Horace Lozier is leading· the Glee Club in a skill­ful and efficient manner.

It stands unbeatenin the West and was barely defeated by Harvard inthe East. The victories of Michigan points to an erain western athletics when the undisputed claims ofsuperiority in amateur athletics will forever pass fromthe hands of eastern colleges. The West, not Michi­gan alone, has earned a lasting place in college sportsamong colleges of the whole country. DEPARTMENT Mr. Wardner Williams, musical director,OF MUSIC. said to the audience at a recent Wednes­day musicale, that he believed a school of musicshould be established here similar to the schools con­ducted by other great American universities. Saidhe, " Out of the great gift which we have recently re­ceived, $500,000 could not be better invested than ina department of, music, to be second to none in thecountry. Not only would such an institution trans­form the whole atmosphere of the University, but itwould be elevating to the city as welL" Of course itis only a question of time when the University of Chi­cago can grant a musical degree equal in value tothat now awarded in philosophy. Chicago is a mag­nificent musical center. Our department of musiccannot be far in the future.FOOTBALL In one sense Michigan holds the westLEAGUE. ern championship in football; in an­other sense no team has won the distinction. Aquestion of this kind cannot be positively decidedwithout a football league. If te:;tms A, B, C and Dplay three games so that B defeats A, C defeats B,and D defeats C, manifestly D cannot claim suprem­acy over A, Band C merely on the score of onegame. No team can win a championship withoutplaying at least one game with every other teamwhich makes any reasonable claim to supremacy.Next in the history of Western football should be aleague composed of the larger schools. PresidentAdams of Wisconsin has spoken in favor of the proj­ect and the growth of athletics seems to demandsome more decisive arrangement than now exists.SIDEWALKS.

But three years havebrought a great change in this respect. Last Thurs­day saw the ath1ethic field a picturesque arena withpaths of ice. It is understood that there is a move- all the accompaniments of a great football contest-ment on foot to organize a Hyde Park associationwhich is to have charge of clearing the streets andwalks of this part of the city. Subscriptions havebeen asked to aid in the work, but for some reason nogreat success, has attended the efforts of the organiza­tion. The University is in a position to make themovement a success and it is due the students whoattend the University every day that some active stepbe taken. Several actidents have already been re­ported, and the matter needs immediate attention.One of the great mistakes made by the ath­DATE8 FOR letic management of the University duringBA8EBALL.last year's baseball season, was its failureto arrange a sufficient number of dates with thestronger college teams of the West. This failure was'due in no small measure to the lateness of the hourat which the management attempted to confer withthe other managements, and because, we were com­pelled to take what was left of their already pre-arranged schedules.this should happen. This year there is no reason whyOUf team next year will doubt-less be one of the strongest in the West and datesshould immediately be arranged with the colleges ofthe East and the West in order that the worthiest con­testants may meet the University team. Michigan,it is reported, has already arranged its dates for hereastern trip, and if the management is to secure aseries of games with Michigan, Wisconsin, and thecolleges of the East, now is the time to set about it... The football management is to beCONGRATULATION8 .. congratulated upon its excellentarrangements for the Thanksgiving Day game. Theathletic field was in remarkably fine condition in spiteof the persistent opposition of the Weather Bureau,and the accommodations for the great crowd whichwas present was almost com�lete .. The University .isalso open to congratulations for the rapidly increasinginterest which the people of Chicago are showingtowards its every activity, and especially towards itsathletic sports. Three years ago the present athleticfield was a barren wilderness given over to weeds andsand-burrs, and the football' games were played beforea few dozen spectators on one of the City League ball struggling combatants, flying color-pennants, gayribbons, infinite chrysanthemums, boisterous cheeringand singing, tally-hos and drags bright with bunting,and all the jollity and good-fellowship of a greatcrowd. All may rejoice that the future of athleticsin the University is so bright. Chicago people are, ifanything, loyal to their own city and its institutions.The confidence of the public once gained by develop­ing and maintaining winning teams, and no Univer­sity will have a more enthusiatic support in itsathletic contests than our own. It is not withoutsome reason that an undergraduate remarked "thatwithin five years the attendance at the annual foot­ball game will exceed even that at the big games inthe East." Winning teams will alone assure the ful­fillment of this prophecy.N ow that the season for outdoor collegeBA8KET-BALL. sports has passed, the athletic interestsof the University again take refuge under the roof ofthe gymnasium, and for the fourth time in the historyof the University basket- ball takes precedence for thethree short months of the winter quarter. It is un­necessary to revert to the past successes or failures ofour University indoor games. Suffice it to say some­thing should be done during the coming quarter tostrengthen the interest of the students in these indoorsports and to make basket-ball still more popular here.To effect both of the results we propose that the man­agement take steps towards the formation of an inter­collegiate basket-ball league.Wisconsin has already organized a team, and twogames have been arranged with that institution.With her help, we believe, Chicago could readilybring this league into life and start a series of gamesbefore the close of the present quarter.In addition to this means of increasing the midwin­ter athletic interests, why could not the tennis asso­ciation arrange an inter-collegiate tournament ?-orthe track team an inter collegiate meet?- or the Uni­versity College play the academic colleges for the bas­ket-ball championship?Co-ed-" No man can kiss me."The other-" You wrong yourself.

By its decisive victoryover the University eleven Michigan won the dis-REFEREE GOULD.tinction of being without peer in the football world ofthe West. The wearers of the maroon had somereason to expect a different contest, and it probablywould be fair to state that the team itself expected adifferent outcome, but circumstances combined againstthe 'Varsity. Still, no one has been found who has notgiven Michigan full credit for her splendid victory,and when Ewing, the general of the Chicago team,was carried off the field after five minutes play, theworst thing anyone could say was that fate wasagainst the defenders of the maroon.Considerable· criticism has found its way into thecolumns of the local press concerning the generalshipof our forces, most of which must have been writtenby would-be critics or else by those who only are able to see one side of a question. Anyone who knowsanything about the great college sport and who sawthe game will brand as false the statements attributedto Captain Henninger that his team outclassed us atevery stage of the game. Such was not the case fromwhatever standpoint one may view it, and making dueallowance for the apparent superiority of the Michiganteam the contest was anything else but unequal.Bloomingston outpunted Nee1 to some extent and wewere probably at fault in not taking advantage of thewind more than we did during the first half. Thepoint has been advanced that had Neel punted at everyopportunity, Michigan would have wearied itself out'in defending their goal from the repeated attackswhich would naturally have resulted from the advan­tages gained by Chicago, with the wind in her favor.In parliamentary language, the point raised can hardlybe said to be "well taken." Nee1 punted to goodeffect but even this must of necessity be of advantageto the Michigan strong offensive tactics. It gaveMichigan the ball and punts do not count for verymuch when plays 'net thirty-yards around the end.Clarke, who considering everything, did magnificentwork on the team during the remainder of the gamewas completely taken by surprise when he first wentin and Hollister immediately took advantage of thechange by going around the end for thirty-five yards.To Clarke's and Roby's credit be it sam that this wasnot afterwards repeated, and although Chicago hadlost one of its very best players the Wolverines wereunable to again score during the first half.It was however in the second half that Blooming­ston's kicking virtually clinched the game for Michi­gan. With the wind in his favor his long spiralpunts became a terror to the Chicago backs. Stillthe magnificent work of the Chicago team must 110tbe lost sight of. Twice forced inside their own five­yard line they held their opponents and took the ballout. of danger in spite of Michigan's much heavierline.Only once during the game Chicago came dan­gerously near scoring. Michigan's punting gave herthe game, but it would not be fair to say that Chi­cago's inability to meet Bloomingston on equal termswas the sole cause of our defeat. By splendid offen­sive work which was n-ot by any means confined tothe air. Michigan in a series of line rushes, aided by. a couple of blocked .kicks, soon had advanced the ballclose to Chicago's goal. As was the case last year,after ineffectually bucking the line, a trick play aroundthe end gave her the second touchdown. To clinchher hold, Bloomingston in each case kicked a goal.In comparison of players on the whole, Michiganprobably had the best of the argument. The sameholds true in matter of team work. On offensivework, especiallYJ' they presented a stronger front. -- ...f •. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY.Their backs had much the better interference andtheir work throughout was of that concerted orderwhich is bound to win even under adverse circum­stances. Ferbert and Bloomingston were the heroesof the day to the Michigan rooters, and they surelydeserved it. At center Carr and Phil Allen fairlybalanced each other and the diminutive Looney fre­quently went through the giant Hooper at guard.Flint had much the better of Farnum on end,' butRoby had hard work with Senter, the star of Michi­gan's team. Between the other players it would beimpossible to form accurate opinions, each gettingaway with the others at opportune moments.The game in its entirety was clean and free fromslugging, but the umpire was decidedly lax in thematter of holding in the line.Athletic Notes.Oberlin and Western Reserve are fighting over the footballchampionship of Ohio.McCornack, formerly half-back on Englewood High School,has been re-elected to the captaincy of the Dartmouth footballteam.'The Northwestern Athletic Association has turned itsb nse­ball and football field into an ice skating rink. The gridironis now a scene of winter jollity.It is interesting to note that since Michigan's strong show­ing against Harvard, the eastern college papers are putting inMichigan's scores among the eastern bootball games.The statement in the Tribune over Henninger's signaturewas in questionable taste. Mr. Stagg says: "It was uncalledfor and ungentlemanly in its inception and its re-publication."Cornell won the annual cross-country race from Pen nsylva,uia. Orton, of Pennsylvania, finished first, but Cornell mencame in second, fourth, fifth and sixth, and so won on totalpoints.A. A. Stagg gives the following as an approximate accountof the Thanksgiving Day games receipts and expenditures:Total receipts, about $6,973; expenditures $I,262, leaving thenet receipts $S,7II, to be divided equally with Michigan.Every college implicated in Casper Whitney's charges hascome out with an explicit denial, and the offer of affidavits,none of which will have the slightest influence upon Mr. Whit­ney. President Adams of Wisconsin has an interview in a Sun­day paper expressing entire disbelief in the charges.Cornish's aggregation of all-stars tied Boston A. A. onThanksgiving day. Heffelfinger, according to the newspapersdid the work of four men. Van Doozer was also very promi­nent. Stevenson, in a communication made the naive state­ment concerning Russell, Boston's center, "that he "mustsay he found him rather easy." Mr. Russell has not yet beenheard from.Cornell 2, Pennsylvania 46. This is one of the most sur­prising scores of the year. It is very much like the 38-4 ofChampaign and Northwestern, and was brought about by muchthe same causes, Cornell being used up and caring very little.Apropos of Champaign, her defeat by Purdue was not unex­pected. It was predicted last week that the Illinoisans wouldgo down. Purdue undoubtedly has a very strong team, farstronger now than at the beginning of the season. Busch­man's return streugthened them greatly.-- 651At last Michigan has won the western championship deci.sively, and no one else may dispute it with her. Every teamof great prominence has been met and conquered, and AnnArbor colors fly at the top. Ave! Ave! Except herself thereis 110 college Chicago would rather see the winner than Michi­gan. Captain Henninger may well be proud of his team.There is less interest in seeking for second and third places;they lie between Purdue, Chicago, Minnesota and Illinois, andeach of the four has a strong claim, which can neither beproved nor disproved. As to Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri,. there is no more reason for considering them as factors in thewestern championship than there is for so considering Brown,or Dartmouth. If they must struggle for a championship, letit be the -trans-Mississippi or the southwest, or what theyplease to call it, except the western.Rev. C. F.
