Second Team to Score on Warsaw This Season
Friday, October 30, the team journeyed to Warsaw. Owing to the fact that the team left after
«ight o 'clock there was not a very large crowd at the post office to see the team off; but those who were there did credit to them- selves. Those who accompanied the team were: Coach Fisk, Man- ager Howard, Referee Howe, and Clarke.
Not even the continual drizzle
•could dampen their spirit. The trip was uneventful except for the occasional outburst of some melodious songster or a few
«heers.
After the walk from the station to the restaurant, the team was given an excellent dinner, after which they took in the sights of the town.
Both teams were on the field in time to start the game at prompt- ly 3:15.
This being the first game of the season, and also the first football game for several of the men in the line, they were naturally a little nervous.
Warsaw had the advantage of having considerable more prac- tice and showed it by their ex- cellent team work.
The first touchdown was K.ade by Warsaw after about five min- utes of play. They seemed to de- light in pounding the left side of our line. It was by means of this continual left side pounding and the forward pass, which they had down to a science, that War- saw made most of her gains.
Score at end of first half: Alfred Ags 0, Warsaw 28.
In the second half the boys seemed to overcome their nerv- ousness and plaj^ed like veterans.
They tightened up and held War- saw almost to a standstill. This is evidenced by the fact that War-
saw only made one touchdo vn in the second half and that was dur- ing the first minute of play.
After this they were able to i, ake very few gains. Score at end of third quarter—Ags 0, Warsaw 35.
The last quarter was wheiv the Ags showed their prowess, by the gains they made, especially in the open field running made possible by the "spread" play. Maure was the greatest ground gainer and it was he who intercepted a forward pass and ran 35 yards for a touchdown, the only one made by the Ags. Score at end of last quarter—Ags 6, Warsaw 35.
Warsaw has an unusually heavy team for a High School, averag- ing 170 pounds.
The Ags have the distinction of being the second team to sco:\? on Warsaw out of seven games.
Warsaw, in three games before this, has run up something over 200 points to their opponents 0.
The boys had to do some light- ning change work from their football togs to their clothes in order to catch the 5 :50 train for Hornell. However, they made the mile and a half walk up the hill to the station in record-breaking time.
The boys took the defeat in a fine sportsman-like manner. It was remarked by some, to be the cleanest game they had seen in some time. This speaks well for both teams. The treatment ac- corded the boys was fine.
They arrived in Hornell at 7 :30 and left for Alfred at 9:30 via
"State Barn Stage," arriving at the post office shortly after mid- night, a tired but happy bunch in spite of the defeat.
Maure distinguished himself by his open field running, Broad by his consistent tackling and line plunging. Griffin played most of the game with a twisted ankle.
The defeat by Warsaw prob- ably did the team more good than

PROF. DEVOE MEADE TO LEAVE N. Y. S. A.
Prof. DeVoe Meade, head of the department of animal husbandry of the Ag School has accepted a position at Cornell College of Agriculture and will leave as soon as a new instructor can be se- cured to fill his place.
Prof. Meade is to be instructor in animal husbandry at Cornell and at the same time will study for a Master's and also a Doctor's degree in agriculture. He will receive a substantial increase in salary, and is to be congratulated upon receiving such a good oppor- tunity to complete his education.
During their stay in Alfred, Prof, and Mrs. Meade have r^ade many friends and it is to be re- gretted that they are to leave.
The Ag student body and the whole University extend their best wishes for success in the new position.
WARSAW DISPATCH CLAIMS VICTORY OVER VARSITY A Warsaw dispatch to the Buf- falo Express says that it was the University team which suffered defeat at the hands of the former high school. This mistake is often made by over-zealous high school teams and for the benefit of the alumni who may see such reports, it should be borne in mind that the college does not play pre- paratory schools. Any correc- tion of such mistakes will be ap- preciated by the managements of the various teams.
MASS MEETING TONIGHT A mass meeting will be held tonight at Kenyon Memorial Hall immediately after chorus. There will be some stirring speeches by the Coach and various memb<>) s of the student body. The yells and songs will be rehearsed under the direction of the new cheer leaders.
Come and get the right spirit for tomorrow's game.
BIG BATTLE TOMORROW Tomorrow at Hornell is to be staged the first big game of the football season when the Varsity meets Hobart College. This is the first time in the history ox Al- fred football that Hobart has
come into our territory. The team has undergone a general shaking up since the Mansfield game with the idea of strengthen- ing the line and increasing the speed of the back-field. Nothing will help the team more than to have every member of the student body at Hornell tomorrow. The special train will leave Alfred Sta- tion at 1.38. Bring your horns and banners and make SOME noise. Tickets can be secured at The Drug Store.
ASSEMBLY ADDRESS Prof. Hart addressed the As- sembly last Wednesday, her sub- ject being, "Modern Problems of Ancient Rome." She gave a brief outline of the problems that con- fronted the late days of the re- public and then enlarged on each by a comparison of conditions ex- isting then with those that concern the United States today. The so- cial, political and economic ques- tions Prof. Hart explained as very similar, yet, she said, there are enough counterbalancing influ- ences at work today to prevent for a long time, at least, a repeti- tion in this country of Rome's failure.
NOTICE
Several of the more conspicuous Freshmen of the Ag School had best take swimming lessons if they are unable to swim, as they will need such knowledge unless a decided change in their conduct is noted within the next few days.
Go the Hobart game prepared to make more noise than you ever did before. Wear your colors, carry your banners and horns and demonstrate to the population of Hornell that Alfred is a live town.

We would respectfully suggest to the village police that a less aggressive and anticipative policy on their part might prove more conducive to a proper spirit of cooperation and abstinence from depredation among the students on such occasions as Hallowe'en.
Tomorrow the game we have been looking forward to all the season will be played on the Hor- nell field. It is noteworthy of the spirit that is back of football this year that practically all Al- fred will make the trip to give her men the needed support on a foreign field which has always maintained a sentiment of hostil- ity to Alfred. While several of the Varsity regulars have minor injuries, this should only tend to intensify the individual determin- ation of each player, and so it is that we expect to see the team go into the Hobart game tomorrow with greater enthusiasm and de- cision than has ever been demon- strated by an Alfred team beiore.
Let us back them to the utmost from start to finish.
GIRLS GIVE HALLOWE'EN PARTY
Last Saturday evening ninety-eight guests enjoyed a most cleverly plan- ned Hallowe'en party given by the non-brick girls of the University. The invitatons had announced that a ghost bearing a designated number would call at the residence of the re- cipient at the appointed hour to con- duct him to the scene of activity. This proved to be Firemens Hall, where the spooks with their companions were all assembled by 8:30, when the festivities were formally opened by
the grand march.. The hall was ap- propriately decorated with emblems of Hallowe'en mystery. Orange and black streamers were hung from the center of the room to the walls and corners and in their misst was suspended a huge owl. Apples were hung from, the balcony and in the center of these were suspended a skull and cross- bones. Black cats of all sizes pur- sued each other around the walls. The lights were masked with red and black crepe paper cut into jack-o-lantern faces and Chinese lanterns of a special Hallowe'en design furnished another source of illumination, the whole com- bining to produce a subdued and ghostly light which added to the weird effect of the general scheme of decoration and costuming of the ghosts. Harvest decorations in the corners and upon the stage, where a black-robed witch rode above the stone fence completed the Hallo-ve'en idea. Clever games and contests rapidly succeeded each other until the intermission for the refreshments, which consisted of assorted sand- wiches, apple pie a la mode and coffee, with cider "on tap." After the inter- mission the remainder of the evening was spent in games and dancing. The committees are deserving of especial praise for the originality and success- ful execution of their plans.] The girls certainly demonstrated their ability to "show the fellows a good time."
THE BRICK PARTY
On Saturday evening the "Brick Belles" entertained a goodly number of their male admirers at a Hallowe'en party. Masks were the order of the evening, nearly every nation of the world, and many individuals being represented. The first number on the program was a "ghost story" which can only be appreciated by those who were there. Then came the grand march, which was readily indulged in by all. After this was over, several went to find their fortunes, while others "Bobbed" for apples. This number was closely followed by "fcJkip- come-a-lu-my-darling," after which re- freshments were served in the Y. W.
C. A. room. After supper the guests assembled in the hall and played
"Jenkins up, Jenkins down." We don't know who got the quarter, but have an idea that either "Doc" Howe or "Fat"
Babcock was the lucky dog. The next and last thing on the program was a hunting contest, the game being a ring, a penny, and a thimble. "Doc"
Ayars found the ring, Rixford the penny, and Brainard the thimble. It is to be hoped that the fortune said to be attached to the different articles will not come true, just yet. The suc- cessful hunters need time to think it over.
We are not quite sure why the "Ris- ing Bell" was rung, about this time, unless it was to start the boys for home. That was the result however, and after singing a few college songs and bidding their hostesses good night, they started out to "put one over" on
Gumshoe, and his assistants. We hear that some of them had their order of procedure reversed.

COUNTRY LIFE CLUB Thursday evening, Oct. 29, the Country Life Club postponed their regular meeting in Ag Hall and held their annual Hallowe'en cele- bration at the Farmers' Club.
The guests arrived about eight o'clock and the festivities began immediately. A long line immedi- ately formed in front of the for- tune teller's tent. Miss Daly is
to be congratulated on her ability to tell fortunes, as she told many with surprising accuracy.
In the apple-ducking contest some freshmen became unduly ex- cited and overturned the whole tub, apples, water and all. Out- side of a few dampened feet, no damage was done. The steady downpour kept everyone inside;
but in spite of this, the committee managed to keep something going all the time. The cracker eating contest caused no little amuse- ment, both to contestants and on- lookers. Those who were musical- ly inclined occupied the parlor where the piano was worked to its greatest capacity.
The refreshments, which con- sisted of cider, doughnuts and cookies, were eagerly devoured.
After the singing of "Agricul- tural Hall" the joyful crowd dis- banded.
The Country Life Club wishes to thank Mr. and Mrs. Stillman for the kind invitation extended them to celebrate Hallowe'en at the Farmers' Club.

NEW SONGS
Tune—Baby Mine
When the Alfred team is playing, give a cheer, give a cheer.
For to help them win the day, we are here, we are here.
Hobart can not beat you out, you can put them all to rout.
For its up to you to win, yes you must, win or bust,
For it's up to you to win, boys, you must.
Tune—I'm on my way to Mandalay.
We're on our way to play a game, Against we will defend our
name.
O it must be, a victory
On 's field you see.
We've got the pep, and we will win you bet,
We'll make them bite the dust today.
Play hard and fast, boys, to the last, Make good our boast today.
OR
We went away to play a game, Against we did defend our
name.
It had to be, a victory,
On 's field you see.
We had the Pep, we had to win you bet,
We made them bite the dust today.
The boys who're true to old A.. XJ.
Made good our boast today.
Instead of the phrase "We're on our way" in the first verse, the following may be inserted, "We came today."
Bring your Fiat Lux to the mass meeting to practice these songs.
Young Men! Gather Around!
You're going to see the smartest lot of clothes this fall that have ever been put together for the benefit of the lively young chaps in this town. They're just the things that college men will wear; but you don't have to go to college to appreciate the merits of such clothes. They're right.
