Thefreshmen, sitting together on the west side ofthe .. room, made a noisy demonstration, and en­livened the lulls in the program with their classsongs and yells. The sophomores, on the otherhand, were scattered and only answered thedeafening:H ullaboree Bora Borore!H ullaboree Bora Borore!- Who roar? W·e roar!N oughty-Four!by individual cries of "noisy babies!" "wait till. <ton\)ocation.this is over," and the like. To these the fresh­men retorted, by frequently counting the scoreof the recent inter-class football game and bychanting: "My! Oh, my! Oh, my! Won't weblack their eye?" while the band played the -"I ndian '\_ar dance."The exercises took the customary form of amock convocation. Mr. Leon P.

This same feature of clever local hitscharacterized the "annual statement" read bythe mock-president, Mr. Lewis, at the close ofMr. J. L. Muller's "Convocation Addres·s."When the time came for the a ward of honorsand degrees, Mr. Thomas J. Hair called L.A. Hopkins from the audience and presentedhim with a large tin medal as a reward for hiscourage in hoisting his class flag on the flag.pole, "at midnight when no one was looking."Mr. Patterson, as the "freshest freshman," waspresented with a monkey on a string, where- .upon he proved his claim to the title by reply­ing, "On behalf of myself I thank you."The freshman football heroes were nextawarded green bouquets, tied with yellow bunt­ing. Mr. Hair then gave the freshmen anillustrated lecture on the uses of the variousbuildings.By this time it was the "freshies" turn, andtheir orator, Master Walter Sills, with easymanner and ready wit, turned the sophomores'gibes back upon them,and commented on soph­omoric airs and foibles until his class mateswere nearly wild with hilarity. Although at- times his remarks were somewhat broad inhumor, and in fact much more abusive than isconsistent with the ordinary civilities of de­bate, especially before a mixed audrenee, yetconsidering this as merely the natural un­licensed ebulition of youth, we may say that inthe main the speaker upheld the high standardset by the freshmen orators of the former Con­vocations. After the convocation all retired to the cam­pus, and in the tug of war which followed thesophomores succeeded, through the stalwartefforts of Feil, Ervin, Atwood and MacNabin dragging the freshmen team for nearly halfa block. After this crowds of freshmen andsophomores surged around the campus, yellingand indulging in occasional mild encounters,until about half past ten, when they all scat­tered. -Taken as a whole the celebration wasthe most successful one yet held.Results of Public Speaking Contests.The semi-finals in the public speaking con­tests were held last Thursday and Friday after­noons. The winners of the Upper Seniors wereMisses Lincoln and Pfeiffer and D. R. Rich­berg. The alternate who received the scholar­ship was O. L. McCaskill. In the Lower Sen­iors the successful ones were S. G. Levy, P. DeJ ong and O. E. Hotle, with S. Klein as alter­nate The three speakers chosen : from theUpper Juniors were Messrs. A. L. Jones, L. P.Lewis and M. R. Jacobs. Alternates H.. Nor­ton and H. E. Smith receive scholarships.In the Lower Junior contest the three speak­ers chosen were C. A. Quackenbush, H. J.Lurie and Miss Florence Frysinger.On behalf of the department of public speak­ing, Mr. Blanchard expressed his pleasure atthe marked improvement of the tone of thecontests. He said that the results of the recentsemi-finals, and the preceding preliminaries,justifies the stand the department has taken inintroducing the recent method of weeding out.Furthermore the professor said that the con­testants who had failed to receive the covetedscholarships should not go away disheartened,and resolved not to make further efforts in thecontests, for by so doing they were defeating. the plans and desires of the department ofpublic speaking. Mr. Blanchard emp hasizedthe fact that the time has 'now come when onecannot hope to win the first time he enters apublic speaking contest. .The finals are to take place the fifth week ofthis term.The local chapter of Phi Kappa Psi gave an­informal dance at their chapter 'house last Sat­urday evening. Mrs. C. H. Sieg chaperonedFootball Notes.The sensational outcome of the Yale-Harvardga'me rather overshadows all other athleticevents of the past week. N ever, since thesetwo universities first met on the foot.ball field,has such a crushing defeat been administeredby the one to the other, nor is it likely thatthis performance will soon be repeated. Forthis one season, however, the wearers of theblue must be conceded the supremacy of theEast and for that 'matter of the entire country;and so clean and fairly earned is their leader­ship that Jew will begrudge it to them. Asfor the Yale men themselves, one can wellimagine what their feelings must be to thusregain, after five years of fruitless effort, theironce unrivaled position in the football world.Besides this one supremely important gamethere was not much of interest went on alongthe Atlantic coast last week. Pennsylvaniaand Cornell han two comparatively easy contestswith Annapolis and the University of Vermont'respectively, and Lafayette 'found notrouble at all in "doing for" theteam from Lehigh. The only unexpectedevents were the tie games betweenCarlisle and Washington and Jefferson, andBrown and Syracuse. Another gridiron battle,however, which perhaps attracted less notice inthis section of the country than elsewhere wasthe 17-0 victory of the University of Virginiaover the University of North Carolina,' and theconsequent decision of the championship ofof the South in favor of the former insti-tution.Out here in the central We sf attention wasdrawn chiefly to the Wisconsin-Illinois andMichigan-Ohio State games, The first resultedmuch as expected, although Wisconsin wouldprobably have run up a much higherscore had the field not been in such bad condi­tion. The outcome of the second would seemto indicate that the Wolverines have not im­proved very much over their work of lastweek, when they experienced great difficultyin makihg seve-n poirtts against Notre Dame.It is also noteworthy as introducing anotherfactor to be reckoned with in the ranking ofthe Western teams, for the play of the Colum­bus men has -been so consistently good allseasoQ�s .to sugy.est that their success at Ann·647Arbor was more than a happy chance.With the exception of the Thanksgiving daycontests, which were alluded to in this columnlast week, there now remains little of interestin the way of actual football. The Iowafaculty has refused the offer of Wisconsin toindulge in a post-season game for the cham­pionship of the Middle West, and has givenmost excellent reasons for its action; while themembers of the Madison team have expressedtheir unwillingness to accept the challenge ofBrown to play at Mil waukee on Thanksgivingday. This means that the only college gameof any importance still remaining to be decidedis that between West Point and Annapolis atPhiladelphia on Dec. 1.This struggle for supremacy between thearmy and the navy is annually productive ofmuch interest in the East, and promises to beequally so the present season. The two teamshave, between them, met all the leading elevensof that section of the country, and in every in­stance the results have been most creditible tothem. Thus West Point has lost to Yale by 18to 0, and to Harvard by 29 to o. Annapolish�s lost to Princeton by 5 to 0, to Pennsylva­nia by 28 to 5, and to Columbia by I I to o. ItIS evident that the two institutions are as usual,pretty fairly matched.Nov. 24· Recent Football Scores.GAMES IN THE WEST.Wisconsin, 27; Illinois, o.Michigan, 0; Ohio State. o.Notre Dame, 5; Rush Medical, o.Oberlin, 6; Western Reserve, 5·De Pauw, 5, Earlham, o.IN THE EAST.Pennsylvania, 28; Annapolis, 5·Yale, 28; Harvard, o.Cornell, 42; Vermont, o.Brown, 6; Syracuse, 6.Lafayette, 18; Leeigh, o.Carlisle, 5; Washington and J effer­son, 5.Wesleyan. 17; Amherst, o.Virginia, 17; North Carolina, o."

At the FreshmanPresentation last Fridaythe BAND found itself sched-., Oh, Listento theBand."$1.75.50 uled to play a series ofselections, of which nothing had been said tothe director, Mr. Thomson. The first notifica­tion that the BAND received at all that it wasexpected to play Friday night, was receivedThursday night at band-practice.It appears that one Blackman was to havenotified the BAND that its services would be re­quired at the Presentation, hut that said Black­man, somehow or other, disappeared, and thatthe innocent BAND received no word untilThursday evening, twenty-four hours before itwas expected to play. Be assured that if theBAND had received a week's notice, the desiredselections would have been forthcoming.The BAND takes exception to the remarksmade at the Presentation as to its modesty,etc., because the BAND needs no coaxing what­evea when it has promised to play, and is givennotice of the music it is expected to play."Having received the above clear and lucid,in fact almost technical, explanation of whythe BAND failed to doifSpaft last Fridayeven­ing, it seems only just to the BAND that Weshould print its appeal for justice, notwith-'standing the apparent hastiness of its composi­tion. We have not ventured to supply evensome much wanted marks of punctuation Torfear of marring the exquisrte logic of theireffort. O?e point certainly is perfectly estab­lished, and that is the righteous indignation ofthe BAND, which" takes exception to the re­marks inade as to its modesty." In glancing, over the above communication one can not butbe struck by the entire lack of self-assertivenessin its tone and the graceful and modest relega­tion of the organization and its name to thcbackground of this marvel of argumentativeword painting.In regard to the excuses offered, the first is, by far the most striking, although evidently649'':tEnW:ixtt�:X\)*:}Dtt.:;<!£;:�)-:?p.;/)::g:;;4t.*;M{:.'t "��71 �::�():;:;t:T:2.,P!:.\'�;:S:t:;;::¢,:J\�$.{f�:�i:'::,,;:}�rgU;i;'w6:gn). ,\,!t�:,::lf!;\?Y1unintentional. It is said that the BAND "founditself scheduled to playa series of selections."We do not wonder that the BAND was some=what disturbed at this totally unexpected con­ditio d of affairs. From the disorderly way inwhich the members of our renowned musicdispensing association strolled' into KentTheatre it would seem probable that the BAND"found itself" at the very last moment.A very suspicious circumstance is mentionednext, which ought to be investigated. It issaid the" one Blackman" has "somehow orother disappeared." Whether the "innocentBAND" had anything to do with this outrage isnot distinctly stated, but the circumstantialevidence points strongly that way. We wouldadvise any friends of " said Blackman" to takeup this clew if they would find the lost gentle­man.We are now assured/that "if the BAND hadreceived a week's notice the desired seleciionswould have been forthcoming." The confidentbravery of this assurance becomes almostawesome when one considers the fact that theBAND has already spent several months onsome of their selections, and seem likely tospend several more before the public is to becharmed with their harmonious strains.The most peculiar circumstance in the wholematter, however, evidently was forgotten, orconsidered to be beneath our correspondent'snotice, namely: the strange position of a col­lege band which cannot play the Alma Mater!Considering that the three songs on Friday'sprogram were the three distinctive songs ofom University and are supposedly not overlydifficult compositions to become acquaintedwith, it would seem at least queer that ourUniversity BAND was unable to render them.When, however, it is realized that one of thethree was the Alma Mater, the matter becomesabsurd to the last degree. In fact we must in­quire: Pray what is our BAND for? There isassuredly an extreme of popular music which it is certainly only correct for a musical organ­ization of any high standard to avoid. At thesame time an inclination toward classicismwhich will prevent a 'Varsity BAND from beingable to play on any and all oecasions, withoutprevious "week's notice," the Alma Mater is tobe deprecated by all loyal students. If theBAND does not advance another step for therest of the year but will take a slight retrogrademovement and learn the essentials of a collegemusical organization; the distinctive songs ofthe University, they will find a thorough andhearty appreciation of their efforts prevalentthroughout the student body resultfng fromthis ad, ance in common sense.Considerable interest has been aroused in re­gard to the atheletic stand-A ing of certain Yale menCommendable who are going to take partAttitude. in the game against theAll-Alumni team in Chi­cago next Saturday'. The All-Alumni team isto be made up of players who, since their de­parture from college, have become in manyinstances professionals. It is contended thataccording to' the rule of the Amateur AthleticUnion, several of the Yale men, Sheldon, Hydeand others, who are under the jurisdiction ofthis body will forfeit their amateur standing bycom peting against these professionals. Thegame, however, is to be played for charity, andin as much as the case is palpably clear thatthe spirit of the rule is not going to be brokenbut only the letter thereof, it seems unfortunatethat the matter should be so stirred up as todemand a judgment on the point. The Weeklydoes not wish to seem to favor a lax interpre­pretation of the rules of amateur standing, butthere is such a thing as searching too closelyfor infractions of rules, the inability of whichto bear exact application on all occasions iswell recognized. The rule in the present in­stance was made to prohibit competition with/ I" , , � ,",,"' . - - ..... �. .-; .. <._ .. ,. � � -' -� *. - � � - -- - - - - -professionals as" professionals. Here we have,"on.the contrary, men on the All-Alumni teamsuch. as Herschberger and Kennedy, who arenot to be classed with those ordinarily regard­ed as professionals and against whom theafor'e-menfioried. rule "was directed. Thesemen are as easily amateurs in spirit, or at leasttheir position will be such in Saturday's game,�s,th� members of the Yale 'Varsrty team whointend to play against them. It is, indeed,possible to" fie the case to the rule and judgeradically upon it. If such a method were tobe followed the result could not be other thanunfavorable to the intended participation ofthe Yale men in the game. However, thisnarrowness of view will not be considered bythose who are thoughtful to be for the best in­terest of amateur athletics.The Amateur Athletic Union has not as yettaken any action" in regard to the matter. andit is understood that it does not mean to do so.The Wukly looks upon this attitude as verycommendable, and hopes that this body willexhibit the same broad-minded position in re­lation to future questions as it has in regard tothis one.NEWS FROM IOWA.Manager McCutchen, of the Iowa team, ha-sflatly contradicted a rumor to the effect thathis men refused to play another game on Mar­shall Field before Chicago plays at Iowa City.The "Vidette-Reporter" commends his; actionin this respect, and then, in the course of aneditorial on the subject, goes on to say that:"N othing could be farther removed from thespirit of the University of Iowa than to forcethe University of Chicago against her wishes..... Iowa is not at all reluctant to play onMarshall Field any year .... Because of theimportance of the Chicago game on Iowa'sschedule, there is a great desire on the part ofUniversity to see the Maroons play at AthleticPark. Hence it is possible that if Chicagoshould desire to alternate the place of holdingthe game next year by coming to Iowa City650the offer would be" accepted - by Iowa-in thespirit in which it would be made."With regard to the championship of the,West, the "Vidette-Reporter" of the Universityof Iowa expresses itself as willing to abide bythe decision of the members of the Chicagoteam, who have voted nine in favor of Wiscon­sin, three noncommital, two for Minnesota andone for Iowa. Such a sentiment is quite inaccord with the dignified attitude assumed atother times by this university, and so com­mands our admiration and respect, but it seemsscarcely needful that the Hawkeyes shouldthus meekly submit to being .robbed of whatmany will still consider their well earnedlaurels. Iowa is justified in demanding at leastan equal rank with the two teams nam ed..On the Local.An exceedingly pretty, demure lookingyoung lady, whose brilliant headgear and ever­smiling face are a familiar sight on our campus,took the last vacant seat in the south boundsuburban a few days since. Next to her sat awoman holding a small child of about fouryears, firmly by the hand."Such a dear little boy; let me hold him fora while," suggested the new arrival.The only too willing mother at once releasedher charge and he was soon enthroned in themaiden's lap. The two chatted merrily forseveral stations despite the evident interest ofthe entire car and the particular attention ofthe -"swell" young gentleman across the aisle.At last the mother said; "We must gel off atthe next station, Bobbie.""Oh, dear, must you go now, queried the girlin mock grief; "I'll be all alone.""Will you be lonely?" demanded the child."Why of course I will; I'll have no one to'stay with me."For a moment the boy was silent; and then'a light broke over his face and, pointing to theattentive young man opposite, he shouted in ashrill, penetrating voice, audible throughoutthe car:"Why, you won't be alone. He'll stay withyou." D. R. R.George Brayton, '00, is employed by the Illinois SteelCompany, at South Chicago.The Alumni Rally.The walls of Kent rang with unconquerableChicago enthusiasm last Tuesday night. on theoccasion of the annual alumni rally in prepar­ation' for the Thanksgiving game with Michi­gan. It may also be added that the beams inthe roof creaked and groaned at the funnyjokes and stories let loose by some of the "olduns. As a matter of fact, however, the meet­ing was a great success, and compared favor­ably with the one held last year at Rosalie hall.The alumni turned out in force, the under­grades were there almost to a man, and thesophomore and freshmen classes, who sat inbodies, contributed sufficiently to the spirit ofthe evening to make up for three or four timestheir actual, number. Everybody was optimis­tic, the band covered itself with glory and thewhole affair went off with good dash.When the meet ingwas called to order some­body ran out a sign on a wire which read:Weather PredictionThanksgiving will be a cold day inMichigan,"Snow" likely to fall.This touched the keynote of prevailing sen­timent, and every man who spoke thereaftermade it his business to magnify andglorify the truth of the prophecy. The chair­man called first upon Stagg. "The Old Man"after adding a point to his famous "lima bean"story (which you should know if you don't)gave his serious opinion concerning the out­come of the game. Franz Anderson, '99 nextimpersonated Mr. Dooley and put the matterin so convincing a light to Mr. Hennesey thatthe latter became as optomistic as a Chi­cago man. Professor Angel explained "howit looked" to be theoretically on the fencePhil Allen took occasion to speak a wordfor sportsmanship and added a very pleasingbit of information which he gathered from hisexperience in umpiring this fall. It was to theeffect that Chicago stood as the center ofinterest and importance in western collegeathletics."Roaring Teddy" Lynn praised Stagg andhis achievements under adverse conditions,and spoke a noble word for Chicago spirit asit exists.Billy Bond, '97, Lamay and Chase of the 651football teams of '93 and '94, Ickes, '99, Fess­ler '97 and Davidson '97 gave each a few wordsof encouragement. Then every member of thefootball team was called upon and expressedhis opinion of the game. The meeting endedwith "A Hot Time" and a last Chicago cheer.Class Sweaters.The class spirit in general which has beenexhibited by the members of '03 and '04 is ex­ceedingly commendable. An idea that haslately been proposed and will doubtless be car­ried through to add to the distinctiveness of thethe freshmen and sophomore classes seems tobe an especially laudable one. This idea con­sists in the institution of class sweaters. Theannual freshman-sophomore tootball gamegave rise to the suggestion, and it has beenproposed to present sweaters to the men whoplayed on the two teams. There seems to beone salient feature in our campus life whichis lacking, and that is the external evidencesof all orga'nizations and societies within thestudent body. We may have the knowledge,we may have the feeling of such things, butwithout some objective incentive to keep themconstantly before our mind, it is a certaintytheir existence will not occur to us so oftennor so poignantly. This has been found trueat every other college, and it may with reasonbe said that very much of the spirit, the life, thevivacity which one finds at such places as Cor­ne-ll and Michigan is due to the merely super­ficial display of insignia. Not by any means,that simple show is able of itself to originateany strong or deep sentiments. But it is un­doubtedly of enormous assistance in develop­ing and maintaining such sentiment as mayhave been more vitally born. We have in ourhearts the spirit and we have the energy toassist it. What we need is the means. Thusit appears that the adoption of class sweatersis an excellent means. There is nothing inthe way of the freshmen and sophomores tohinder them from wearing class sweaters. Anold rule which prohibited such a thing has beenremoved and there can be no such thing asjealousy on the part of the upper classes, forthey are equally at liberty to adopt what theychoose to distinguish themselves from the rest.And in this connection why would it not be agood idea for t�e present. senior class to in­stitute the weanug of senior caps?inner life of his own 'personality;" It 'is the oldide� that ','righteousness brings prosperity,"against the new idea that "righteousness isprosperity." But this prosperity may be in theinner personal life, and a fall :in the worldwithout may mean a rise in the world within.This conception is illustrated in Henry VIII,in which Shakespere wished to -present therise of, Queen Elizabeth's mother, Anne Bolyn,and in doing this had to handle a very delicatesubject, namely, the downfall of Queen Cath­erine. Therefore after' her earthly glory haspassed from her, we see her crowned as a saintin heaven. So much -for the court masque inHenry IIl� in the drama itself the same thingis true of Wolsay. He seems -to grow spirit­ually greater as his earthly. power fades. ,We have thus far been looking atPro videncefrom below; now let us 100.1<: ,at its workingsfrom above- This we may do through theconception of enchantment as exemplified inthe "Tempest." Here Prospero, as a personalprovidence, brings it about that no evil shallfall upon the innocent, and yet allows murder.to stain the souls of Antonio and Sebastianwithout allowing them to harm their intendedvictims. He deals generously and merci­fully with all, .until obliged to restrain by forcethose who are hopelessly unregenerate. Andthat is all that he does. He neither punishesnor forces to repentance but says. by his ac­tions: "Those that are filthy let them befilthy still, and those that are holy let them beholy still."Professor Moulton's Lecture.At the vesper services last Sunday Prof. R.G. Moulton delivered an exceedingly interest- 'ing and scholarly address on the subject, "Re­ligious Conceptions in Shakespeare."Professor Moulton :said that there is a diffi­culty in gaining a good idea of Shakespeare's. religious conceptions, namely, that we cannotpick out any passage or series of passages, of. which we can say that they represent Shakes­peare's own. conceptions, For the great dra­matist was perfect. in his art, and when he set'a priest upon the stage he made him talk aspriests talked. There is, however, one -way by ,by which we may discover Shakespere's relig­ious conception, and that is by a study of theplot. In making such a study we may findthat the conception of Providence as a retri- .butive agency characterizes many of the plays.The idea of retribution-"What a man sowsthat shall he reap"-is perhaps most strikinglyillustrated in Richard III. Here Richard goeson from crime to crime, al ways successful, un­til it seems as though his very presence meanssuccess.
