Varsity 6 - Mansfield 5
Defeats Mansfield On Her Own Gridiron For First Time in Years
Last Thursday, Alfred defeated her old rival Mansfield upon her own gridiron by a score of 6 to 5. It was one of the hardest fought battles that ever took place between the two rivals. The 'Varsity had undergone a serious shake-up about two weeks ago. Since that time assistant coach Colegrove, aided by Prof. Greene, '02, had been driving the team at a hard pace. Never did Alfred have such fighting spirit as when the squad left for Mansfield. As the team was go- ing to the field Capt. Howe read them the following telegram: "Student body is behind you, must win for Alfred."
Signed, "Student body." Football was at a crisis in Alfred University, but by this victory the crisis has turned in her favor.
During the first half 'Varsity had a slight advantage over the opponents, but in the third quarter the terific rushes of Kelley three times carried the ball to our 10 yard line only to lose it. The last half was fought out largely in Alfred's territory, but when- ever Mansfield tried to carry the pig- skin over they met a stone wall. The features of the game were Bliss's long, low punts for thirty, forty and fifty yards, Barney's end runs on trick plays, and Joe Kruson's touchdown.
For Mansfield Captain Kelly was easily the star. The game was bitter- ly contested.
HOW THEY DID IT First Quarter
Captain Howe kicked off to Collins who advanced 10 yards. Two line bucks failed to gain for Mansfield, but on the next play Capt. Kelly circled the end for 8 yards. On a skin tackle t>1ay they made first down. Alfred 'l-held them and Collins punted to Tefft.
'•'A series of open plays failed to make
a Alfred the necessary distance and I Bliss punted 40 yards to Collins. Mans Lr field failed to gain on her first three I downs, but on the fourth Fleitz skirt- . ed left end for 40 yards. The umpire brought him back for offside and on
|the fourth down Collins and Nealon 'worked the ancient "shoe string play"
i\or 20 yards. Here the 'Varsit} held
V
on their 25 yard line and on fourth down Collins in a beautiful drop kick sent the oval squarely between the goal posts.
Mansfield then kicked to A. Kruson who advanced to the center of the field. On a line shift Bliss g:iined six around left end, but the peda- gogues held, forcing Bliss to punt.
Mansfield punted to Tefft from their 10 yard line on first down. Here the quarter ended with the ball in our possession on their 45 yard line, tcore, 0-3.
Second Quarter
'Varsity failed to advance and Mans- field took the ball on an incomplete forward pass on fourth down. Kelly went around end for five yards. The 'Varsity smeared up the next three plays and took the ball. Barney car- ried it for 10 yards on a trick play and a pass to Buck gained 20 yards.
Here Mansfield held on their 20 yard line. Barney dropped back for a drop kick which rolled through the line of scrimmage to Kelly's feet on Mans- field's 5 yard line. Joe Kruson smash- ed through guard scooped up the ball as Kelly stooped for it and with three men hanging to him staggered be- tween the posts for a touchdown. The try for goal failed.
Howe then kicked to Mansfield's 30 yard line and by a series of skin tackle plays and short end runs they carried the ball to Alfred's 30 yard line. Here the 'Varsity stiffened like a stone wall and Mansfield stopped. On the fourth down Collins dropped back for a field goal, but the ball went wide. Alfred put the ball in play on the 20 yard line. Bliss punted to their 40 yard line and the half ended with the ball in Mansfield's possession.
Score, 'Varsity 6, Mansfield 3.
SECOND HALF
Mansfield kicked off to Bliss on the 20 yard line. He advanced the ball 10 yards. Mansfield broke through the line and nailed Brainard for a loss.
Bliss tried a run around left end but failed to gain. A forward pass also

FOOTBALL BANQUET A fitting culmination to the 'Var- sity football season was the banquet held last night at Peck's Cafe. About thirty persons including the members of the team, representatives of the faculty and the squad's most ardent supporters sat down to the repast.
Capt. Howe acted as toastmaster. Ex- cellent toasts were given by Prof. Ben nehoff, Prof. Bole, Prof. Greene, Mr.
Colegrove, Prof. W. A. Titsworth, Coach Colton and Manager Austin.
The keynote of each was optimism for successful teams in the future. On be- half of the squad Manager Austin, at the conclusion of the list presented to Mr. Colegrove a beautiful signet ring as a token of their appreciation of his work, for the week previous to the Mansfield game. He responded with thanks. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Colton for his excellent preparation and Mr. Colegrove for the finishing touches which he put on the team. The season of 1913 was closed with the feeling that there is much to be looked forward to for next year. The menu:

BUCK NEXT FOOTBALL CAPTAIN At a meeting of the football squad last evening, Win. E. Buck, 'Hi, was elected football captain for the season of 1914. Mr. Buck has worked faith- fully and well upon the gridiron for the past two seasons, and is most de- serving of this honor. The season of 1912 he played tackle <ind 1313, end.
The action of the team in his election is heartily endorsed by the student body.
I. P. A.
The attendance at the business ses- sion of the I. P. A. was small last night on account of the 'Varsity banquet and other student meetings. Our president, John Sanford, gave a very good intro- ductory talk in which he informed us that the members of the faculty were interested in the welfare of the society and would be willing to forward its interests by taking part in the bi- weekly programs, held on Monday evenings in Memorial Hall. Five new members were taken into the so- ciety and a regular program com- mittee was appointed, consisting of one Agricultural School and two Col- lege students. A loyal interest was shown by members present and all predict a successful and useful year for the society.
N. Y. S. A. 8—HORNELL 6 Crippled Ags Win Another
Victory
In their game at Hornell last Thurs- day the Ags again lived up to their reputation as a plucky hard-playing team. The palpably unfair tactics of Referee Smith made it an uphill battle for them, but they won through sheer gameness. With an impartial official the score should have been 20-0. Hor- nell has a light, but fast and tricky team and at times the reorganised Ags were ineffective against them, al- though on the whole, they displayed remarkable form considering how many of the stars were absent from the lineup.
THE GAME
Hornell received, bringing the ball to their 18 yard line. Collins and O'Neil were sent around end in suc- cession for 8 yards and 5 yards. Hor- nell punted, Alfred covering the kick on their 40 yard line. Alfred was penalized 15 yards, and on the next play the ball was fumbled, Camp covering it. Collins on two attempts around end made 8 yards, and then the Ags held for downs. Conderman tore through for 6 yards, Griffin dupli- cated, Weinheimer hit for 5 yards, Sardeson for 2 yards, and a pass to Leeworthy netted 25 yards. Griffin plowed through tackle for 3 yards, and then with only a foot to go, Hor- nell held for downs. Griswold at- tempted an end run, and Leeworthy tackled him behind the line for a safety. Hornell put the ball into scrimmage on their 20 yard line.
Period ended. Score, 2-0.
Second Quarter
Collins gained 1 yard, and Hornell punted, Conderman covering on Al- fred's 12 yard line. Sardeson gained 4 yards, but two incompleted passes and an unsuccessful end run gave the ball to Hornell. Collins gained 3 yards, and the Ags covered a fumble on the next play. Griffin plugged the line for 4 yards, Sardeson tore off a sensational 25 yard run on a delayed pass, Griffin went through again for 4 yards, Weinheimer skirted right end for 5 more. Sardeson went through for a touchdown. Goal was not kick- ed.
Hornell received and were downed on their 20 yard line. Weinheimer intercepted a pass, Gahagan gained 8 yards on Sardeson's pass, but at this point the high school defense proved too strong and Alfred lost the ball.

Would not the athletic field have a little better appearance, if the hurdles were neatly piled at one end of the field or else taken under shelter, in- stead of being strewn along in front of the bleachers?
STUDENTS!
Tomorrow will be pay day for the
"Fiat Lux." The business manage- ment desires the hearty co-operation of the students to make our paper a financial as well as an editorial suc- cess. We expect every student to subscribe to the "Fiat Lux." The busi- ness manager will be in the Hall be- fore and after assembly to receive sub- scriptions.
ALFRED SPIRIT
The combined results of the two out- of-town games on Thursday last, was amazing. Never before did Ags and College howl in such perfect unison.
Such spirit! Such co-operation! Did you ever see or hear anything like it?
We hope this kind of mutual interest between the two schools will keep on growing. "United we stand, divided we fall," is a good old maxium and it's just as true in the case of our two schools as it was in the turbulent days of the Revolution. With the present spirit we see no reason why the college and Ag School may not look forward to a future of friendship and resulting success in well support- ed athletic contests.
CRIBBING
At assembly last Wednesday, our student senate president brought to our ears the fact that, in a recent chemistry examination, it was found that some of the members of our Freshman class, contrary to the rules
of our honor system, "cribbed." The disapproval of the school was im- mediately evidenced by the hush that came over the entire assembly and the disappointed, grieved faces of the fac- ulty.
It seemed impossible at first, that members of so promising a class as 1917 has appeared, could lower the moral standard of the class and the college, by allowing dishonorable and unsportsmanlike methods to creep in- to the examination system of Alfred University. The unpleasant news may, perhaps, be partially explained by the fact that some members of our Freshman class were not acquainted with the Honor System of exami- nations. On account of the unsettled condition of our school publication, the Monthly, which has heretofore been the medium for communicating' the rules of the Honor System to Fresh men, was not published and the mat- ter has been neglected by the Weekly.
The Honor System has been posted on all bulletin boards and will be, we hope, read by all members of the class of '17, urging them, as they do so, to remember that it is not only their duty to themselves but to their Alma Mater, to keep the examination record of Al- fred University unstained by that black word "crib."
FRESHMAN RECEPTION
The annual reception to the mem- bers of the Freshman class, given by President and Mrs. Davis, last Tues- day evening was very largely attended and greatly enjoyed. Novel little booklets presented by the host and hostess furnished amusement for the greater part of the evening. After- wards delicious refreshments were served.

ASSEMBLY ADDRESS,
Professor Hart spoke at the As- sembly last week on the subject of
"Names," from the text: "What's in a Name?" In this interesting address, Prof. Hart traced the history of nomenclature from primitive times when distinctive cognomens were won by valor or determined by personal peculiarities or distinguishing traits of prowess and cunning, through the gradual growth of the custom of the assumption of the father's name—the patronymic system—of which the Swedish suffix "son" or "sen" was cit- ed as an early example transmitted to modern times, through the Saxon cus- toms of designation of locality in the use of the suffixes "tun," "ham" and
'shire" and the Teutonic "Chester"—a modification of the latin castra mean- ing camp, to our modern heterogenous heritage in the prevailing custom of naming persons and localities by a combination of these systems.
Sardeson intercepted a pass. Condor- man made a pass good for 3 yards.
Half ended. Score, 8-0.
Serond Half
Hornell kicked, Weinheimer ran the ball back 4 yards to the 2? yard line, and went through for 12 more on the next play. Alfred was penalized 15 yards and failed to make their dis- tance. Hornell also was unable to gain their yards. Weinheimer made 35 yards, but the play was called tack and Alfred fined 15 yards. Captain Weinheimer protested the decision and was chased to the club house, Sardeson taking quarter, Kilts right half, and Button right tackle. Again Alfred failed to make their downs.
O'Neil made 5 yards, a pass netted 6 yards, and Hornell punted, June re- covering on Alfred's 20 yard line.
Quarter ended. Score, 8-0.
Fourth Period
O'Neil gained 6 yards, Green 2 yards, Williams broke through and tackled Green for a loss. Tracy received a pass, Alfred received the customary fine of 15 yards. Tracy went through for a touchdwodown. Goal was not kicked.
Sardeson received the kick-off on his 15 yard line, and gained 3 yards on the first play. Conderman circled end for 5 yards and Smith promptly fined the Ags 15 yards. The man accused of shoving was 5 yards away from the play. Sardeson punted to Hor- nell's 8 yard line. Hornell punted on first down. Gahagan gained 3 yards and Sardeson followed with 5 yards. Game ended. Score, 8-6.

'VARSITY 6—MANSFIELD 5
Continued from Page One failed and we were forced to punt.
Fleitz advanced the ball to our 40 yard line. J. Kruson and Riebe were disqualified. Pfaff took Joe's place at guard. It was Mansfield's ball first down and they made their distance on an end run. First down again and they carried the ball to A. U's. 15 yard line. Another plunge brought them to our 10 yard line when Hill broke through and captured the ball on an attempt at a field goal. 'Varsity came short of her distance about 2 yards and Mansfield again took the ball dangerously near Alfred's goal line. However they could not gain and tried for a field goal which went wide.
The purple and gold then took the ball on the 20 yard line and on a line shift Bliss gained 2 yards. On a sec- ond attempt of the same nature he got away for 30 but was called back for offside. On the third down Brainard gained 5 through the line. Nealon then intercepted a forward pass and again it was Mansfield's ball. Kelly tried an end run and was nailed for a 5 yard loss. Kruson then duplicated Nealon's action and pulled down a forward pass. It was Alfred's ball.
Brainard gained 3 on a line buck. Tefft made a couple on quarterback runs.
Bliss then dropped back for a punt, but the pass went over his head.
Bliss went after it and was tackled behind the line making a safety. Bliss then punted from the 20 yard line to the middle of the field. Mansfield advanced 5 yards when time was call- ed.
Fourth Quarter
The fourth quarter was a heart breaker. Tefft came out of quarter- back on account of injuries and King took his place. Kelly gained G yards for Mansfield on two skin tackle plays.
Then King caught a forward pass on the one yard line and on the next play Bliss punted to the center of the field. 'Varsity held and Mansfield punted the ball over the line, making a touch back. Alfred took the ball on the 20 yard line and started on a trip to Mansfield's goal. King gained 3 yards on an end run. Bliss went through tackle for 3 more and King bucked center for 5. Alfred's first down again. Brainard gained and Buck advanced. The shift play failed and Bliss booted the ball back to Mansfield's 30 yard line. Mansfield took the ball. Alfred lost 30 yards on a pass and penalty for interference with man catching the pass. Here Mansfield again tried for a field goal which was broken up and Alfred took the ball on the 20 yard line when time was called. Score, Alfred 6, Mans- field 5.

FIAT LUX LYCEUM COLUMN
Alfriedian
Unfortunately the graduate Al- friedians asked that their program be postponed. As it was too late to plan anything definite we devoted the time to basket ball practice in the Gym.
At a short business meeting tho new officers were installed. The last Fiat Lux stated Marian Stillman as future critic. Kindly pardon the error. Edna Rogers was elected.
We were delighted to learn that Ruth Brown, '17, is to be an Alfriedinn.
A few of the Allies surprised their brethren by bringing in the Alfriedians as an "after stunt." As usual, wo had a splendid time. The cheery yells games and songs proved the spirit of comradeship existing between the ly ceums.
Alleghanian
The Alleghanian room was full last Saturday evening to hear the excellent program which was rendered. One of the most encouraging features of this session is that nearly all of this year's new members were present.
The program was as follows:
Devotions Mr. Cornell Music Lyceum Talk—The making of a newspaper
Ford Barnard Music E. Weinheimer Piano solo by Miss Elliott Alleghanian Theodore Clawsen Music Harold Clawsen Piano duet with Mr. Coon Worthy of special mention are the interesting and instructive talk by Mr. Barnard and the Alleghanian with its article on college spirit.
At the close of the program an ori- ginal stunt was announced, which proved to be a visit from our sister Alfriedians. The singing of the Alma Mater marked the close of a very en- joyable evening.
Orophilian
Saturday evening, Nov. 13.
Saturday night's meeting of the Oro- philians was exceptionally good. After devotions led by Lowell Randolph and music by the lyceum, Mr. Kruson read a selection from Mark Twain, recount- ing the preposterous adventures of a tenderfoot on a buffalo hunt in the west. This was followed by a musi- cal number, G. Babcock accompanying Miss Chipman, who rendered an ex- cellent solo which was heartily en- cored. L. M. Babcock read an excel- lent number of the Radiator and Re- view. The next was a stunt number, each member being required to speak for one miuute on a subject written on a slip of paper and drawn at random from a hat. Some very astonishing morsels of information on "Love,"
"The Mexican Situation," "Child La- bor," etc., were thus brought to light.
At the business meeting following, nominations for officers for the next quarter was taken up. The election was held Monday night at 8 o'clock in the Y. M. C. A. room.
Athenaean
Athenaean lyceum called to order by President Edna Burdick. The pro- gram was as follows:
Devotions Katryne VanderVeer Music Rose Trenkle Duet, Martha Cobb, Rose Trenkle Reading Miss Little Music Committee Echoes Genevieve Burdick Music Ruth Hunt Furnished by the Misses Wells and Cranston
The program was very well render- ed. The "kitchen trio" are certainly
"some players," After the program the Misses Watson, Jackson, Saun- ders, Whitney and Dorothy Wells were very heartily welcomed as active mem- bers of our lyceum. The "Mar- guerites" were all full of life and fun, so games and dancing were indulged in until time for the Abbie to close.
"Why was Joe put out of the game the other day?"
"He hadn't shaved and was dis- qualified for unnecessary roughi.ess.'
