STAGG.)When the crowd has cheered the hostile teams and the band has played its best,And roaring rooters warm the lungs within the coldest breast;When hat and cane and flag and feet have marked each rolling shout,And the coin has told its little tale and the whistle sounded out:Then the untried slippery pigskin lies at rest upon the ground,And silence wraps the people with expectancy profound.o the kick-off and the tackle and the sudden-footed punt,And the stillness of the players on a down;And the plunging and the lunging in the swaying battle's brunt,And the megaphonic cries of town and gown!Now the ball comes floating downward toward the full-back's opening arms,And he hugs it for a zigzag shoot through a host of threatening harms;But the clutches of the tackle snap him hard upon the earth,And the fumbled ball goes bobbing like a thing of mock and mirth;Till the center rush bends motionless above the resting sphere,And the fronting lines stand statuesque in hidden hope and fear.Then the mighty mingled scrimmage works its arms and legs and feet,Heaping heads and twisted bodies in a chaos most complete;But five yards is a journey for a head that isn't stone,And harder than a wooden wall is a wall of human bone:So the bleachers lift their megaphones to breathe a bracing cheer,And the rooters' "Hold 'em," "Hold 'em," smites the player's anxious ear.Then out from the mass of strugglers, like a comet from its course,Shoots a runner on a tangent, with a catapultic force;And the field spreads fair before him as the path to paradise,And his soul leaps up to win it at the dearest sacrifice:For he hears the yelling people and a mighty stride behind,And he hopes to live forever in the football heart enshrined.But his striding hot pursuer on the five-yard jerks him down,And his hope burns low within him as he clutches for renown;Yet he twists and squirms and struggles 'mid the trumpets' blare and blast,And the touchdown with his nerveless hands he reaches at the last;And his head whirls like a pin wheel and his eyes, bewildered, close,As the chorus of the people lifts his name above his foes.o the touchdown and the goal-kick and the sudden-footed punt,And the stillness of the players on a down;And the plunging and the lunging in the swaying battle's brunt,And the megaphonic cries of town and gown!-Horace Spencer Fiske.242 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYTHE WESTERN ATHLETIC SITUATION.The western athletic situation, noticed lastweek, remains practically unchanged. l\lanagerBaird, proceeding on the ru le in regard to gatereceipts, recently passed at Michigan, has can­celled all baseball games arranged with Chicago.The usual dual track meet is also off, in allprobability, and it is possible that Stagg willtake his men East, either to the Mott Havengames, or for a dual meet with Yale or Cornell.Cornell will also be given a football date, in allprobability. This will necessitate a slightchange in the schedule, either Purdue or Beloitchanging its date to October 14.The stand taken by the local stucient body isunanimously with the athletic board, and can­not be otherwise than gratifying to Mr. Stagg.Outside of the colleges co ncern ed , opinion isdivided, and the balance of sentiment will pro­bably be shown for the first time in the gatereceipts of the Chicago-Brown, and Michigan­\Visconsin games, both of which will be playedin this city on Thanksgiving day. The standtaken by the local athletic board is best statedin the following extracts from a circular issuedby 1\1r. Stagg last week."When the matter of a football game for nextyear was talked over by Mr. Baird and myself,on February 23, Mr. Baird said that theywanted to make an arrangement for two years,Michigan to play in Chicago next Thanks­giving day, and Chicago to play in Detroit thefollowing fall. The terms to be an equal divi­sion of receipts after expenses had been takenout. I then informed Mr. Baird that it hadbeen the policy of Chicago when we arrangeda series of games with a Western college to beplayed at any place out of Chicago on alter­nate years, to arrange on the basis of a guaran­tee. I stated that we were willing to play atDetroit as he requested, on a guarantee arrange­ment. We have contended each time thequestion of playing elsewhere in the West hascome up, that it was not a fair arrangement ofthe receipts to allow a division. It has seemedto us that if the drawing power of Chicago isten thousand dollars net, for a Michigan game,and the drawing power of Detroit is only fouror five thousand dollars net, 01' the drawingpower of Chicago is four thousand dollars net,while that of Champaign, for example is not more than twelve hundred dollars net, that wehave a right to whatever additional incomethere is by reason of our location in Chicago,provided, of course, an arrangement is madefor a game elsewhere on alternate years, Ihave steadfastly contended for this right, fromthe beginning of the University, and I expressedto Mr. Baird what our policy had been in thismatter. At no time, however, did I say thatthe matter was finally settled, and it was myintention, and Mr. Baird so understood it, tolay the matter before our Athletic Board. Mr.Baird. apparently was not ready to let thematter rest with our Athletic Board, on thebasis of its merits, but immediately startednegotiations which would bring together Wis­consin and Illinois in combination againstChicago in order to use them as a club to bringus to terms. This scheme apparently had beenin his mind for some time, and from data whichhas come to hand recently, a partial under­standing between Wisconsin and Illinois hadbeen brought about. Baird openly stated inorder to whip us into line that \Visconsin andIllinois had agreed to stand together in demand­ing return games on alternate years and an equaidivision of receipts, and as an additional club tocoerce us into allowing his demands, he statedthat Michigan would refuse to compete againstus in any sport. And, furthermore, would notplay the games in baseball which had alreadybeen agreed upon by Mr. Baird and myself,with the exception of arranging with a changeof date with Wisconsin. Last Friday, I pre­sented a statement of the whole affair to ourAthletic Board, and they unanimously votedagainst arranging games with Michigan andWisconsin for the coming season."Card of Thanks.The ladies of the University SettlementLeague wish to express their cordial thanksfor the very efficient co-operation of the stu­dents in the production of "The DeceitfulDean,"MRS, CHARLES ZUEBLIN,President.Tom Blackburn and Donald Kennedy have gone onbusiness together in far away .'l" ew Orleans.FIELD nUSEUn LECTURES.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLY� '""- eo" .{ Mr. W.

Thisaction on the part of the Athletic Board placesall students under obligations to attend gamesmore regularly and in greater numbers thanheretofore. No longer can high prices begiven with any justification as an excuse for"cutting" ball games and track meets; two dol­lars and a half is a small price for admittanceto all the athletic contests of the spring. Theaction of the Athletic Board is understood toSeasonTickets. be an experime,lt, and season tickets for thegames may not be offered during followingseasons unless the students yield their heartysupport. To make it possible for every studentto attend all the athletic contests, and tosecure a larger body of students to cheer 0 nthe home teams, has been the purpose of theAthletic Board. Let the students, then, dotheir part; let them buy season tickets and at­tend all games in crowds to cheer for Chicago.First of all we regret that"Boycotted." such a turmoil has arisen inWestern Athletics. But whetherwe are right or wrong on the financial issuethere is another side to the question. I t is thetoo evident desire on the part of Michigan,Illinois and Wisconsin to .. crush," "oust," and"down" Chicago. The spleen which Wiscon­sin bears us is fully shown in the use of theboycott as they themselves term the trium­virate, the boycott, wh ich Prof. Waldo of Pur­due calls" the resort of low politicians andignorant laborers." Chicago stands ready now,as always, to arbitrate and compromise thedifficulties. We object most strenuously to themethod used to intimidate us. We will not becoerced into a course inconsistent with honorand �ignity.Let us be sensible, let us not be drawn intoa controversy which started purely throughpersonal spite. This is Baird's quarrel withMr. Stagg. We believe that the Michiganstudent body is friendly toward Chicago, andfor our part we can certainly state there isnothing here but kindly feeling for Michigan.Further, we believe that Baird has hoodwinkedthe Michigan Board of Control and under­graduates as well; he has cleverly drawn overthe wool. This statement is based upon theattitude of the U. of J.�I. Daily up to March 14,when it suddenly changed front and nowsmacks of Baird. N ow the Daily vies with theDaily Cardinal 111 misrepresenting the actualconditions and indulging in a lot of quixoticbraggadocio. JI·... THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYIt is our firm conviction that we have a rightto whatever financial advantage our locationmay give us and a half dozen such boycotts ortriumvirates could not make us see otherwise.Even now the triumvirate is weakening, forIllinois "who is but a tool in the hands of Mich­igan and Wisconsin," is only wait in a conven­ient loophole to "get from under." It is yetnot too late to avoid a serious complicationand we earnestly hope that Michigan willcome to her good senses and depose this manBaird who would be Caesar. Illinois will thenbe freed from her condition of "thirdwheel­ness" and will have an individuality of her own.Wisconsin will quit trying to "Yale it" in thewest, and the athletic season of '99 will not bespoiled for all hands.Slowly, but surely, THE WEEKLYis becoming a student organ, inthe full sense of the word. ThreeEvolutionof TheWeekly. points have recently developedwhich may be cited as proof ofthis fact. They are: First, the open com­petition for membership in the Editorial Board;second, the award of a scholarship to the man­aging editor; and third the assumption of thebusiness managership by the students.In the past a great outcry has been raisedthat the Editorial Board was a close corpor­ation, to be made only by political pull, re­sponsible to no one for its actions, and voicingthe opinions of a small sect. The truth of thisaccusation in the past, need not be discussedbut its entire unfairness must be perfectlypatent to anyone who considers the presentmethod of election to the Board, i, e., throughmerit of contributions. to be passed upon bymembers of the faculty and a committee fromthe Board itself.The second point! that of the award of ascholarship to the managing editor, to go intoeffect July I, is an im portant one. The pos­ition of the editor will hereafter be a Universityhonor, and will carry with it as much distinct­ion as any achievement in college. This is arecognition by the faculty of the ability and labor required to run the paper, and a placingof honor where honor is. and long has been,due.All further possible objections are answeredby the assumption of the business end of thepaper by the students. There will be two man­agers, who have not been selected yet, but areto be announced the first of next quarter. Thisplaces the paper wholly under the control ofthe undergraduate, and is a preliminary stepto student ownership. When that further stepshall be accomplished, which we hope will be'soon, THE \VEEKLY will truly be a paper ofthe students, for the students, and by the stu­dents.At the time the gift of land on"Fraternity Ellis avenue and Fifty-seventhRow." street was announced, PresidentHarper submitted a plan to thefraternity chapters to rent this land for a periodof ninety-nine years and build chapter housesthere. This plan was not favorably receivedby the fraternity men, but the idea is a goodone and will bear further consideration. Allof the fraternities here have strong Alumniwho would no doubt aid them in buildinghouses. Not one of the local chapters owns ahouse, and. as they are permanently located,the sooner they establish permanent head­quarters the brighter prospects will they haveBy having their houses near each other astrong fraternity spirit would be engenderedamong all Greek letter men, and the locationwould foster a campus spirit. At Michiganmost of the "frat" houses are situated in suchproximity that many social advantages accrueto members of these societies. An inter-fra­ternity debating club has been successful, anda freshman card club served to make the newmen acquainted.The land which Mr. Martin A. Ryerson donat­ed would be especially desirable because of itsnearness to the campus. The WEEKLY againcalls attention to the President's proposal andasks for further consideration from the frater­nity men. 245246 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYNOTE BOOK.Senior Finals.--On Tuesday evening March14, occured the Senior College Finals in Kenttheatre. Six men of the Senior college de­bated the following question: Resolved, "Thatthe Income Tax. if it were constitutional, wouldbe advisable." The affirmative was supportedby Willoughby George Walling, Harry B. New­man and Chas. L. Burroughs; Harry N. Gott­lieb, Lawrence M. Jacobs, and Thomas C. Clen­denning argued the negative. The judges de­cided in favor of the negative and the Univer­sity prize for excellency in debate was given toHarry N. Gottlieb. Following the debatePresident Harper gave a reception to the Sen­lor class and their friends at his home.Zina R. Carter, Republican candidate formayor spoke in Kent theatre last Friday after­noon before the Political Economy, PoliticalScience and Sociology clubs. Professor EdmundJ. James introduced Mr. Carter, who, in a briefspeech stated his own and his party's attitudeupon the prominent question of the campaign.After speaking in approval of Mayor Harri­son's attitude toward the granting of long fran­chises to street railway companies Mr. Car­ter denounced the disregard for the merit sys­tem, the rule of gang politicians, and the em­ployment of police officers with criminal rec­ords, all of which, as he said, has taken placeduring the Harrison administration He furtherdeclared the Republican party and himself, asits candidate, pledged to enforce the civilservice law, to keep the police force pure, tosee to it that the people's money be judiciouslyand wisely spent, and to secure proper equiva­lents for all franchises granted. Mr. Carterwas frequently applauded, but at no time didhis audience show its approval so fully aswhen he said that he considered twenty yearsa long time for which to grant a franchise to acorporation.The Graduate Divinity Debate for the JosephLeiter prize 'was held last Friday evening inKent theatre. Following was the subject:Resolved, "That it is Expedient for the UnitedStates to Acquire Colonial Possessions in thePacific Ocean." The affirmative was taken byJames D. Garner, James L. Bynum, and LucileEvans; the negative by Gustavus W. Dyer, Eben Mumford, and Louis P. Valentine. Thedecision of the judges ga\'e the debate to thenegative, and awarded the Joseph Leiter prizeto Mr. Dyer.Quite Extensive office changes are beingmade at present. During the absence of thePresident, the faculty room in Haskell is beingparti tioned off and fitted up as offices. DeanTufts and Mr. Gurney will hereafter have theiroffice in Haskell, and the present examiner's�ffice will be changed to meet the needs ofDean Castle who will have charge of the un.classified students and of part of the J un­ior college, and for Dean McClintock whoalready looks after Junior college interests.Faculty meetings will hereafter be held inHaskell Assembly room.Physics Class, 9:30 p. rn.

Withsolid through trains to New York, and throughsleeping cars to Boston, travelers via this de­servedly popular low rate line are offered allconveniences of an exacting traveling public.Then too, the quality of the service is unsur­passed. Modern day coaches and luxurioussleeping cars contribute to the comfort of pas­sengers, while unexcelled dining cars cater tothe tastes of the most exacting. No.2.The service of the Nickel Plate Road to NewYork city and Boston is a demonstrated suc­cess. The demands of the traveling publicare met by providing three peerless fast ex­press trains in each direction daily.

After calling attention to the fact thatonly one per cent. of the male population of our countryhave been college graduates and that on this basis, if acollege training were neither a help or a hindrancethere should be only one man out of every hundred inpublic life who is a college graduate. The followingstatistics are given:In the 54th Congress 36 per cent. of the Senators andthe same percentage of Representatives were collegegraduates. In higher positions, 50 per cent. of the Sec­retaries of the Treasury, 60 per cent. of the AttorneyGenerals, 62 per cent. of the Secretaries of State, 54 percent. of the Presidents, and 69 per cent. of the Justices ofthe Supreme court have been college graduates, whilesix of our seven Supreme Court Justices have graduatedfrom some institution of learning. This means that col­lege graduates has from thirty-six to seventy times thechance to reach positions of honor in his country's ser­vice that a man does who neglects a college training.Furthermore, statistics show that the percentage of col­lege graduates who are entering public life is increas­ing, and the more important the office, the greater is thedemand for a college man.250 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO WEEKLYMAJORS AND rHNORS,Snell hall has taken sides in campaign for mayor.Posters are up for Zina R.
