PARADE AND FOOTBALL GAME TO MARK ARMISTICE DAY

EX-SERVICE MEN, STU- DENTS AND TOWNS-

PEOPLE TO MARCH ON HOLIDAY

Armistice Day comes next Friday, November1 11th, same day as the Thiel game. All roads lead to the athletic field Friday, and the members of the local American Legion want to make known to townspeople and students the plan for the commemoration of the day in so far as it is possible to make a statement of it at this date.

No definite line of march has yet been decided upon but organizations will probably fall in at Firemens Hall.

It has been determined that the parade is to bring up at the athletic field in season for the game which is scheduled for 2:30. It will be necessary to blow assembly at 1:30 in order to al- low sufficient time for formation.

All townspeople, fraternities, ,and other organizations are urged to join with the ex-service men in making the parade a success. It is desirable that uniforms be worn where possible.

Everybody out and show some spirit in this march to the athletic field,

•whether in uniform or not. Further plans will be posted on the bulletin boards at the post office as soon as full particulars have been learned from American Legion Headquarters.

A meeting of ex-service men is to be held on Monday night at which definite plans will be made.

Small helmet pins made by wounded men, who are at work in the "Dugout,"

New York City, are on sale at Fenner's Hardware Store and by Ray Cottrell at the Bank. These little emblems will be worn by all, it is hoped, on Armistice Day, as the money received from the sale of them goes to aid these men who were wounded in the world war.

PRINCETON CONFERENCE CRE- ATES WIDE INTEREST Forty Colleges Plead ' For Limitation

of Arms

Delegates from forty eastern colleges and universities assembled at Princeton on October 26, for a student conference on international limitation of armaments. Nearly every import- ant institution of higher learning in the east was represented. President Harding, in a telegram to John Grier Hibben, President of Princeton Uni- versity, under whose auspices the conference was held, said:

"My very cordial greetings to college conferences meeting at Princeton to discuss the problem incident to an international argreement on the limitation of armaments. Knowing as I do the sincerity of our American purpose, free from every phase of na- tional selfishness, it is most gratifying to know that the college thought of the Republic, is being exercised helpfully to commit the sentiment of

VARSITY FACES THIEL ON ALFRED FIELD

FRIDAY

Heartened by her victory over Ham- ilton, the Varsity faces one of the hardest games of the season Friday, when Thiel invades Alfred field. The Purple will be, in top form for this battle and will fight to the last whistle to turn the score against the visitors.

Last year's game, played at Green- ville on Thanksgiving, proved to be the most hotly-contested struggle of the season. Thiel succeeded in put- ting over one touchdown, which was enough to beat the Purple. By winning Friday's game, Alfred can even matters with Thiel, which has de- feated the Varsity in three of the five games played.

The records of gridiron history show:

Alfred Thiel 1914 0 19 1914 0 65 1916 21 7 1917 6 0 1920 0 , 6 Both Alfred and Thiel consider Fri- day's game as the climax of the schedule. The Pennsylvanias have lost three games this season, to heavier, faster elevens. They held Buffalo to a draw on the Rotary Field, where the Purple later met defeat.

But comparative scores prove nothing, as Friday's game will show.

The results of Thiel's 1921 games:

Thiel 0, Carnegie Tech 42 Thiel 0, Grove City 6 Thiel 0, Buffalo 0 Thiel 35, Ashland 0 Thiel 0, Marietta 22

Playing this year's game on Al- fred's field gives the Purple an ad- vantage, which every booster can in- crease.

The team should feel that every student and alumnus is helping p u t | over touchdowns. The cheers, to be rehearsed Thursday evening and pro- duced in maximum volume Friday afternoon, will help bring victory to old Alfred.

Although Coach Wesbecher knows that much strength can be added to the team by side-line cheering, he will not depend on yells to win Friday's game. After this week's heavy prac- tice sessions, the rival teams will probably line up as follows:

Thiel Alfred Mould—L. E.—McMahon Templeton—L. T.—Bliss Berkman—L. G-.—Horton Mitchell—C.—Fraser Johns—R. G.—Stannard Roth (Capt.)—R. T.—Burns Petty—R. E.—Witter Stanton—Q.—E. Campbell McClure—L. H. B.—R. Campbell Christman—R. H. B.—Gardner McCoy—F. B — Ahern

Oliver W. Ferry, one of Alfred's most popular students, died last Sat- urday evening at his Almond home, after a seven-months' fight against consumption.

Mr. Ferry had just passed his 23d birthday, on Oct. 30, when a sudden turn for the worse took his remaining strength. On his birthday many of the students had sent remembrances, hoping that "Ollie' would soon be well enough to receive visitors. Now his hundreds of Alfred friends can show their love and respect only by attending the funeral services to be held in Almond Union Church this afternoon.

Oliver Ferry was born near Al- mond on Oct. 30, 1898, and spent most of his life in that village. After graduating from Almond High School, he worked in Elmira one year and entered Alfred University Sept. 30, 1918. He had nearly finished his Junior year, when stricken by tubercu- losis last spring. Treatment at the

Steuben County Hospital, at Bath, proved ineffectual and Mr. Ferry r e - turned to his Almond home in Septem- ber. His powers of resistance gradu- ally lessened, and the end came quiet- ly last Saturday night at 8:30."

He is survived by his step-father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Deforest Sisson of Almond, and by two brothers, Milton and Clair of Angelica. While grieving over Mr. Ferry's untimely passing, his Alfred friends also wish to condole with those nearer him.

"Ollie" Ferry, as he will always be remembered in Alfred, was a big- hearted, all-round man. Coming here during the S. A. T. C. days of October, 1918, he remained to take up the Cer- amic engineering course. Up to last Spring, when sickness forced him to leave college, "Ollie" was a leading member of the class of 1922. His splendid work on Alfred's football , teams during his three college years J was followed by his election to the ; captaincy of the 1921 eleven. "Ollie" j was no doubt the most disappointed of j all, when the football squad gathered this fall without a leader. He was a charter member of Alpha Zeta Chap- ter of Delta Sigma Phi, and its 1920- 21 president.

VARSITY COMES BACK WITH HAMILTON SCALP

Purple Wins 7-0 on Mud-soaked Field

ALFRED PLAYS HARD AGGRESSIVE GAME

Playing in the best form of the season, Alfred's Varsity outclassed' Ham- iltons eleven at Clinton last Satur- day, and won 7-0.

This victory just balances the 7-0 defeat which the Purple suffered early in the 1920 season. This year's re- venge would have been more decisive, i had not the weather slowed up the game. Only straight football was possible oh the windswept, mud-covered field, and driving snow during the second half made the going even more dif- ficult. Alfred showed her superiority in all branches of the game by punt- ing, line-bucking and running the ends for bigger gains than Hamilton could make. Not once did the slimey ball slip from the grasp of the Purple back- field, and Alfred recovered both of the fumbles which the Buff and Blue made.

Alfred scored early in the second | quarter and threatened to repeat the touchdown in that period and again in the third quarter, but penalties stopped the Purple march both times'.

Forward passes were scarce, the only one completed netting Hamilton ten yards.

Soon after the teams lined up, the blue-clad eleven started their only strong attack of the game. Alfred finally awoke, and held Hamilton for downs on the 25 yard line. During the rest of the contest, the Varsity's goal was never in danger. The 40 mile wind made punts tricky, but Burns' toe proved trusty every time.

The see-saw playing of the first quarter was replaced in the second by powerful line plunges, after the Purple found a weak spot at tackle. Start- ing from midfield*, Gardner plowed through the line repeatedly, and after a dozen such plays Ahern carried the | oval the remaining distance to the goal line. Another muddy march was

halted at the 15 yard mark, where Alfred lost 15 yards on a penalty.

In the second half, Coach Berry of Hamilton sent in fifteen substitutes in a vain attempt to put the ball in Alfred's territory. Another Purple attack carried the oval within ten yards of the goal-line, but again a 15 yard penalty spoiled Alfred's chance to score. In the final period Ahern recovered a Hamilton fumble within striking distance, but another fine, and a desperate attack by Hamilton took the ball to midfield. When the final whistle blew, the Alfred eleven had returned the oval to Hamilton's 20 yard line.

All the Purple players deserve com- mendation for their aggressive, heady work. Gardner and Ahern made big gains in line plunges, and Bob Camp- bell ran well on the few end runs at- tempted.

MISS BURDICK TALKS ON CHINA

The Christian Association had charge of Thursday's assembly and the leader, Helen Chaffee, gave the Aggies a surprise by introducing Miss Susan M. Burdick, who told of conditions found in China.

In comparing America's living conditions with China's, she emphasized some startling contrasts. Miss Bur- dick told of our own good roads and then told of the roads in China and how they were made. Stock raising, transportation problems, farm layout, forests, food economy and the sani- tary conditions of the residences or houses also showed strong contrast.

Perhaps the most interesting part was the methods of burial in that part of China where the speaker was located. It would be a big problem in this country, if the same conditions regarding burial rights prevailed.

Miss Burdick proved herself very capable of interesting everyone in the conditions as she found them in China.

COUNTRY LIFE CLUB HAL- LOWE'EN SOCIAL

Tuesday night the Country Life Club held a Hallowe'en Social on the second floor of the Ag School. A committee composed of Miss Chees- man, Helen Chaffee and Duncan Mun- ro were responsible for the good time that everyone had that night. Until nine o'clock real old-fashioned Hal-1

lowe'en games were enjoyed . Light j refreshments in the form of cocoa and doughnuts were served and after that:

dancing was enjoyed until ten o'clock.

Members of the faculty attending were Prof, and Mrs. Robinson, Misses Cheesman, Bennett and Schroeder.]

Without a doubt this was one of the most successful parties yet held in;

Ag School, which was partly due to the efforts of the committee, and part-' ly due to the moderate attendance, which nicely filled the rooms without crowding.

' TAKING NO CHANCES In order to prevent the stormy weather of the coming winter from damaging the Clarke Memorial fountain in the park, a sheet-metal hood has been placed over it. This object resembles a miniature pipeless fur- nace, and certainly adds nothing to the beauty of the campus. However it is considered a necessary evil, for it will doubtless prolong the life of the fountain dedicated by '21 to the late Prof. Ford Clarke.

A pint of printers' ink was taken and one large idea introduced, whereupon a precipitate was formed, consisting of hum dreds of words which took their places in orderly array upon a fair white page known as the Alumni Depart- ment of the Fiat Lux. This precipitate had certain powers. It acted as a magnet and drew to itself some sixty similar smaller precipitates, chiefly in the form of proper names at the bottom of many-colored slips of paper popularly known as checks.

Had the precipitate been as potent as its producer hoped, there would have been at least a hundred more small precipitates. The experiment, therefore, while valuable and interesting, has not brought the desired results, and the laboratory method must be changed.

Does this allegory need explanation?

Let us put it in plain English.

The plan, as you all know, was to have an Alumni page in every number of the Fiat, which would bring the Twentieth Century Club members closer to each other and closer to the college. It was hoped that the subscription list, would be augmented on this account, to such a degree that the page would pay for itself. Neither objective has worked out exactly ac- cording to Hoyle or Boyle. Once a

week is too often for material of particular value to alumni to be col- lected, In the pressure of getting material week by week there has been no time to look ahead, to organize con- tributions, or to carry out a" policy.

Hence the page itself has not ful- filled the hope of those who con- ceived it nor satisfied the ambition of those who have been working on it.

The Fiat Board finds a six-page paper too expensive to continue. Had the alumni subscriptions increased to 150, it might have been possible but perhaps that was too much to expect from the first year.

The Q. E. D. of all this is that the Fiat is to be put back to the four- page size. Rather than to use a small space badly every week, the Alumni Department will be found in full once a month, although alumni personals will appear every week.

An effort will be made to have the monthly page a constructive, informa- tive discussion of post-college problems. Extra space will be given by the Fiat Board for this page on the second Tuesday of the month.

To those who have subscribed to the Fiat this year for the express purpose of getting the Alumni page each week, we express our heartfelt thanks and our sincere regret that it is not possible to carry out the original scheme. Anyone who feels seriously "stung" by this change is earnestly asked to write to the Sec- retary-Treasurer of the Club, with a view to receiving financial compensa- tion. We would return personally the price of many a subscription rather than to have dissatisfaction among the members.

Finally, my friends. (I know you too well to call you "ladies and gentle- men") will you please lend us your aid in this matter of news. If your class-mate moves, marries, is elected t o , t h e U. S. Senate, or appointed church warden, please write about it to Clifford Potter, at Alfred, who has charge of the personal column.

We want all sorts of items—they sell an alumni page better than anything else.

NORAH W. BINNS, Sec-Treas.

MASS MEETING

Last Thursday night's mass meet- • ing, held before the Hamilton game, was most gratifying to everyone. Agri-1 cultural Hall was packed and t h e , spirit of the student body seemed stronger than ever despite the factj that the football season is near a close.' Speeches were cut short due to the j football team's late arrival. The coach had considerable praise for the enthusiasm shown by the students and hoped it would continue to the finish of the season.

Mrs. Mix told the truth when she j said that everyone who could not go ! from Alfred to the game, would be j thinking of nothing but victory dur-' ing that afternoon.

This week will be a hard one for, the team in preparing for Thiel. Every- one must back them in these prac-1 tices, and Friday, if cheering has any-1 thing to do with winning, Thiel will | have only a recollection of having;

played a game of football at Alfred, i

SEND OFF

Friday morning at 8:15 an enthusi-j astic crowd of rooters assembled in j front of the post office to give the football squad a victorious send-off.

Due to the large number of students having classes at 8 A. M., the assem- blage was not all that was expected, but the team was given a rousing send off nevertheless.

KANAKADEA BOARD MEETS

On last Monday evening in the Seminar room of the library the 1923 Kanakadea Board held a meeting. Re- ports on the assignments as given out by Editor Bliss were made, and suggestions and criticisms were discussed

at length. E. T. Dougherty, photo- grapher, states that he must have a minimum of at least fifty stunt pictures in order to make this year's book measure up to the standard set by the board. Any student who has stunt pictures should turn them over to some member of the board at once.

It is the aim of those connected with this year's book that as large a selec- tion as possible be obtained and that only the best of those submitted, be printed in the Kanakadea. This proposition will be what the students make it and all must get busy and dig out some snaps or take a few flash lights.

All Juniors are to report to Taylor's studio in Hornell for pictures, at some time before Thanksgiving, at the latest.

Those who had anything to do with Kanakadea work last year know that the Board is working on a big thing and needs the co-operation of all. Make a resolution to help in these efforts and then really live up to it.

PRINCETON CONFERENCE CRE- ATES WIDE INTEREST

Continued from pa^e one

our country and the world to real achievement. A great service to this generation may prove vastly greater to the generations yet to come."

Charles E. Hughes, Secretary of State, also expressed his approval of the object of the conference although not in a message to Dr. Hibben. "The State Department welcomes the aid of public-spirited citizens in further- ing the objects of the Conference on Limitation of Armaments, and keenly desires to facilitate all who are en- gaged in the effort to give accurate j information and to develop sound opinion," said Mr. Hughes.

Both of these messages were read by Dr. Hibben who then said that it was within the right of college men to undertake to sway public opinion in this matter and to ask the members of the International Washington Conference to stand for a limitation of armaments.

The following resolutions, after much debate and discussion were adopted by the Conference:

WHEREAS, the recent World War has demonstrated that future war would be a calamity whose conse- quences are beyond all calculation;

and

WHEREAS, the nations of the world, already improvised by past wars and confronted by the urgent social and economic problems bred by war, have entered on an unprecedent ed scale into the race for military and naval supremacy, which makes for mutual distrust and war, rather than for mutual understanding and peace; and

WHEREAS, the costs of vast armaments prevent the diverting into constructive channels of money and energy sorely needed for the solution of the problems of peace; and

WHEREAS, the Government of the United States, appreciating these facts has invited the powers to meet in conference at Washington, to discover means through which the Reduction and Limitation of Armaments by In- ternational Agreement may be real- ized, and to promote through nmic- able discussion universal good-will;

and

WHEREAS, the college men for whom we speak have proven their devotion and loyalty in the past war, and the generation which we repre- sent would in all probability bear the brunt of a future war.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED.

THAT we, the representatives of 40 colleges and universities in conference assembled, do hereby express to the Government of the United States our unqualified approval of the course it has taken in summoning the Wash- ington Conference and our entire sym- pathy with the purpose of the conference pledging our faithful support

to the United States delegates in their efforts to alleviate the burdens of war and preparation for war, through mutual understanding and through World Reduction and Limi- tation of Armaments; and that we do hereby urge unon all delegates that their efforts shall not cease until some solution be found whereby the possibility of war may be minimized, and whereby at least a considerable portion of the vast amount of energy and money expended by the nations for armament may be released for the development rather than the destruc- tion of civilization and the human race.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLV- ED: That it is the sense of the In- tercollegiate Conference that the Washington Conference will not have attained its objectives without (1) a settlement of the Far Eastern ques- tion, based upon principles which will make practicable the reduction of naval armaments. (2) An agreement to si'spend all present programs for Naval Construction and to undertake no further expansion. (3) An agreement to reduce substantially the present naval strength of the Nations con- cerned.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLV- ED, That a copy of the above resolution be signed by each delegate here assembled, and dispatched forthwith to the President of the United States of America, and to representatives of the press for publication.
