Thiel Takes Victory
Varsity Again Fails to Scor«
Alfred went down to her third successive defeat on Friday when she succumbed to Thiel College 19-0. Thiel is a new factor in the Alfred schedule and she gave an excellent account of herself in her initial appearance on the lo- cal field. Both teams were handi- capped by the water soaked field and fast, accurate play was im- possible. The Varsity was again guilty of her most disastrous fault, that of allowing her op- ponents to cinch the game in the first few minutes of play. Two of the three touchdowns came in the first four minutes of play, after which the game settled down to a see-saw contest until the last two minutes of play when Thiel by successive line bucks, tallied her third touchdown.
The work of Capt. Kishler for Thiel was the best seen on the Alfred field for some time, his ability to elude tacklers being the big factor in the outcome. Capt.
Buck put up his usual game at fullback.
First Quarter
Thiel received on her forty yard line and started on a march down the field. Kischler was gaining on every play and on a fake double pass skirted the side lines for forty yards and a touch- down. The goal was kicked.
Pfaff received and advanced 25 yards. The Varsity could not gain and lost the ball. Thiel made first down and Kischler slipped aro\md left end for a touchdown. The goal was missed.
Alfred received and Buck ad- vanced 20 yards. Bliss made 15 yards around right end. Buck made 4 yards, Griffiths 3, and Buck added one-half more. Bliss was forced to punt and Thiel re- covered. The quarter ended with the ball in mid-field.

VARSITY VS. ST. BONAVEN- TURE
Next Thursday the Varsity will line up against St. Bona at Wells- ville in what should be the best game of the season. While neither team has turned out a winning team, each has in her football ability which will probably be given its greatest test in this game. In Clare St. Bona has a fullback who is ranked as the best playing on any of the small college teams this season.
The team is working hard in preparation and is determined that Thursday's game will be the turning point of the football situ- ation.
It is hoped that a large dele- gation from Alfred will follow the team to Wellsville which will be the last opportunity the local fol- lowers will have to see the Varsity in action this year.
MASS MEETING TOMORROW NIGHT
A mass meeting, the last for this season, will 'be held at Memorial Hall tomorrow evening for the purpose of arousing the fighting spirit of old Alfred for the hard- est game of the year. A large crowd will aid materially in help- ing to stir up the proper spirit.
Here's a chance to show real loyalty, the kind that makes a student body back up a team that's had hard luck, the kind that demonstrates a determina- tion to win through sheer perse- verance. Come out, if you're made of real stuff.
FRESHMEN CELEBRATE Twenty-four members of the class of 1918 enjoyed a trip to Ilornell last Saturday evening, Sheldon's auto-bus being char- tered for the occasion. After an excellent four course banquet in the banquet hall of the Steuben, the party attended the production of "The Misleading Lady" at the
PROF. PONTIUS ASSUMES DUTIES IN AG SCHOOL Last Monday morning Prof.
Pontius entered upon his duties as Professor of Animal Husbandry in the Ag School, filling the posi- tion formerly held; by Prof. Meade.
Mr. Pontius comes to the school well recommended and well pre- pared to fill the position. He was born in Henry County, Ohio and comes to us direct from his home town of Liberty Center. After graduating from High School he taught for three years in the dis- trict schools of Western Ohio. In 1910 he entered Ohio State Uni- versity from which he graduated in 1914.
While in college he held numer- ous offices of importance. His highest honor was that of being a member of the Ohio State Judging team which represented the Uni- versity at the International Live Stock Exhibition at Chicago last winter.
He was also president of the University Agricultural Society, secretary of the live stock club, known as the "Saddle and Sirloin Club," and a member of the Stu- dent Council.
While in college he specialized in Animal Husbandry, his major work being in this subject. He also took minor work in the de- partment of Agronomy. Being greatly interested in athletics he was a member of the Inter-College Athletic Committee.
After graduating last June he returned to his father's farm and was connected with the Ohio Ex- tension Department work before coming to Alfred. He is much pleased with the work of the Ag School here and with the friendli- ness of the people in Alfred. It is to be hoped that we may be able to keep Prof. Pontius with us for a long time.
Shattuck Opera House. Prof, and Mrs. Bole chaperoned the party. No dancing was reported.
Ags Lose To Eldred
Eldred a Victor in Close, Clean Game—Score 7-6
Thursday, Nov. 12, the fast El- dred High School team defeated the Aggies in a closely played game; score 7-6. The team left Wednesday, arriving in Eldred that evening where they were en- tertained at the homes of the El- dred players. Eldred is repre- sented this year by an unusually fast and well-balanced high school team so that even in defeat the Aggies feel that they played a good team to a standstill.
Eldred has a reputation in Al- fred of being one of the cleanest teams that the Aggies play. This game added another link to this general impression. The fact that not a single penalty was imposed during the whole game speaks well for the work of both teams.
It was stated that the two teams practically ran the game and that officials were really unnecessary;
all who made the trip were loud in their praise of Eldred, both as players and hosts.
The work of Maure and Broad featured the Aggies' play, while Sailings at right end and Kauf- man at quarterback, were the most conspicuous in the Eldred attack.
In the first quarter Maure got away for a fifty yard run and the Ag touchdown. Goal was not kicked. Throughout the first half the ball was in Eldred's territory but their defense was invulnerable at critical stages. The score at the end of the first half was, Al- fred 6, Eldred 0.
In the second half Eldred came back strongly, the play see-sawing back and forth in the center of the field. In the third quarter Eldred by a combination of trick plays and line plunges, advanced the ball to the Ag's 25 yard line. On the next play Eldred's left half

skirted the Aggie's left end for a touchdown. Kaufman kicked the goal. After the kick-off Alfred ad- vanced the ball into Eldred's ter- ritory where the rest of the quarter was evenly contested, the game ending 7-6 in favor of El- dred.

COUNTRY LIFE CLUB Thursday evening, Nov. 12, the Country Life Club held its regu lar meeting in the Ag assembly room. The meeting was openec"
by the song, "Keep in the Sun light Aggies." The program foi the evening was as follows:
Vocal Solo Mrs. W. J. Wright Gleanings Miss Sherman Piano Solo Miss Johnson Recitation, accompanied by piano
Miss Tuttle
At the conclusion of the pro- gram there was a short business meeting. At this meeting Miss Blowers was unanimously elected as Country Life Club editor for the Kanakadea.
Director Wright was critic foi the evening and he commended the work of those who appeared on the program. The program was, he said, the best rendered this season. He also made a few appropriate remarks on the custo- mary conduct of local audiences as compared with those of other places.
It would not be doing justice to those who appeared on the pro- gram to close without saying a few more words in their behalf.
Mrs. Wright's selections were very well rendered and also very much appreciated, by the audi- ence. She responded to an en- core.
Miss Sherman introduced her gleanings by a short talk on the matter of "Fitting I n . " She emphasized the importance of each person choosing the work best suited to his personal ability.
The piano solo by Miss Johnson was heartily encored. The reci- tations by Miss Tuttle were amus- ing and instructive in that they showed what can be accomplished by training. She also was heartily encored.
A large number of former mem- bers of Country Life Club were present showing their interest in the present student body. We Alfred; Esther Rogers, '13, Al- j trust that the programs may con

PROF. DEVOE MEADE LEFT LAST WEDNESDAY FOR
ITHACA
Prof, and Mrs. Meade left oi Wednesday of last week for Ithaca where Prof. Meade has a positioi in the Animal Husbandry Depart ment of the Cornell College o:
Agriculture.
A dinner was given in honor of Prof, and Mrs. Meade at the Ag School Monday evening by members of the Ag School faculty
Tuesday evening a reception was given them by the students of the Ag School. The evening was spent singing the ever-favorite Ag songs and in a farewell visit with the Meades.
At the close of the reception Lawrence Cornwall, '15, in a few well chosen words, presented Prof and Mrs. Meade with a set of tea spoons as a slight appreciation of the esteem in which they are held by students.
The many friends of Prof, and Mrs. Meade in N. Y. S. A. and in Alfred regret very much that they have left. It is also with as deep regret that the Meades left their many friends among the N. Y. S.
A. students.
N. Y. S. A. CHAPEL ADDRESSES
The regular chapel period on Tuesday was in charge of Miss Tuttle who read a very instruc-
;ive and interesting paper on 'Home Rule in Ireland." Con- siderable mention was made of the time when Ireland first came to je ruled by England and of the struggle the Irish people have
oeen making since that time to as- sert their right of representation
n parliament.
Many prominent leaders of dif- 'erent times were named, among hem being Daniel O'Connell, who
>vas without doubt one of the reatest statesmen in the English r'arliament.
Miss Tuttle read a few para- raphs from Mr. O'Connell's greatest speech, denouncing the
•ule of Ireland by England. It s said that this speech was made jefore the greatest audience ever xssembled, which speaks well for lie position of O'Connell as a tatesman.

In his usual unique way Prof.
Watson won the interest of stu- dents at the very beginning of the period by relating some of his experiences as a preacher while attending college.
He spoke upon no particular topic, but told his audience amus- ing incidents of his boyhood which, however, represented some of his ideals.
R. I. U. TEAMS IN HOT (?) CONTEST
A few days ago there was an amusing but very strenuous foot- ball game held between the
"Grave Diggers" and the "Tomb- stones." If you doubt that the game was strenuous just watch
"Doc" try to run or poke Neal in the ribs and listen to what he has to say. Owing to the field's being covered with an inch or two of slippery mud, most of the team spent about half their time testing soils. We would recommend that Prof. DuBois give an examination on the "Texture of Clay Loam."
After the "Tombstones" had made some four or five touch- downs the "Grave Diggers" de- cided to begin all over. After ringing in a new member they proceeded to wallop the "Tomb- stones" 20-21.
The features of the game were the line plunges of " J u d g e " and '' Dick'' and the end runs of Stout and "Doc." "Willie" took a bath in the jumping pit much to the amusement of the other players. Blackie says that he is going to buy "Sweet Orr" pants the next time—they don't rip so easily. After Stout had matched
"skulls" with Bob Broad, he de- cided that it was time to quit.
But, above all else, be careful when you see " S t u b " Boyes com- ing. Pass by him on the other side. His neck! Well, even though "Dick" Humphrey did use it for a resting place, it would be best for you not to notice the way he holds his head or at least mention anything con- cerning the matter with him.
C. L. M. C. A.
Paul Schriver was leader at the Country Life Men's Christian As- sociation Sunday evening at the Ag School. His topic was "The New Rural Civilization." The topic was discussed in a very care- ful and interesting way. A com- parison of the past, present and future rural life was made, out- lining some of the more import- ant factors governing life in rural communities.
Several other members also gave interesting talks on the sub- ject, making the meeting a lively one.
Those who desire to join the As- sociation should see the secretary, Mark Sanford, as soon as possible.
CONVENTION OF MINISTERS All the evangelical ministers in the western half of New York state are cordially invited to at- tend a Convention of Ministers to be held at Rochester, N. Y., Dec.
7th to 9th, 1914.
There are about two thousand churches in this territory repre- senting sixteen different com- munions. It is hoped that at least one thousand ministers will be present.
The churches of Rochester have graciously undertaken to provide free entertainment for delegates
in the homes of the city. In many cases, congregations will gladlj meet the traveling expenses o1 their pastor, so that he may enjoy the unique privilege of this greal convention without any financial burden.
"The Church at Work for the Community, the Nation and the World" will be the main theme for consideration. Men with a real experience on some vita]
phase of this comprehensive sub- ject are being secured as leaders in the discussions. It is expected that these discussions will be greatly enriched by the testimony of the ministers present as dele- gates.
The following speakers have al- ready accepted the invitation to address the convention:
Dr. Robert E. Speer of New York,
Bishop William F. Oldham of New York,
Prof. Samuel Higginbottom, of India,
Mr. George Innes of Phila- delphia,
Mr. A. A. Hyde of Wichita, Kan- sas,
Dr. Worth M. Tippy of Cleve- and,
Mr. Charles G. Trumbull of Phil- adelphia,
Mr. James M. Speers of New York,
Colonel Elijah W. Halford of Slew York,
Mr. W. E. Doughty of New York,
Several other outstanding lead- ers will be secured and announced n due time.
This is the first convention of ts kind that has ever been held,
;hough the demand for this type of meeting has been increasingly
nsistent in recent years.
The convention is being organ- zed by the Laymen's Missionary Movement. All sessions will be leld in the Central Church, cor- ner Fitzhugh and Church Streets, beginning Monday, December 7th, it 2 :30 P. M., and concluding with a special session for delegates only on Wednesday evening at 7 :30 P. M.
In order to insure the provision f adequate entertainment for lelegates, it is highly important
;hat those expecting to attend hould report as soon as possible to Mr. H. F. Laflamme, Cutler Building, Rochester, N. Y.

THE STUDENT-FACULTY SITUATION
Hitherto we have refrained from speaking of the rather strained relations which have been growing up between the faculty and students, but the situation has now become such that we feel that, in justice to all concerned, and in fulfillment of our policy frankly and unreservedly to echo student sentiment, it is our duty to state our case. Our wish is not to antagonize or offend any- one and our suggestions are made with all respect where respect is due.
We have already spoken of the fact that the students considered it an unjust act on the part of the faculty when two of the Vars- ity players were forbidden to go on the Mansfield trip without pre- vious warning or opportunity to make up their back work. It has since been found that the new rule covering such cases requires that all men to be cut for any week be reported by Monday morning; this was not done in this case and the students very justly
felt that the faculty should live up to the rules if they wish them to be respected by the students.
This was, however, made up by suspending the rules for the Ho- bart game. There has also been much feeling manifested over the question of the Library rules, not so much over the rules them- selves as over the spirit in which they seem to have been made and enforced. We feel that college students should be allowed more freedom than high school pupils in exercising their judgment as to what constitutes good conduct in a place of this kind. Too much whispering, or anything else that disturbs others who are trying to study, should, of course, be pro- hibited and guarded against by the librarian, but we feel that the method of enforcing the new rul- ing has been little short of child- ish.
To add to the general feeling of resentment came the decision of the faculty in the Hallow- e'en party case, in the form of notices prohibiting from further dancing, this semester, all who danced at the party held in Fire- mens Hall last Hallowe'en. Well authenticated reports declared that the faculty was even con- sidering the suspension of these students. This case has seemed to the students at large to be one not in the province of faculty ruling. In the first place, the party was not a dancing party;
that is, it was not farmed for the purpose of dancing alone; the company had played games until a change was desired and dancing was very naturally suggested as a pleasant means of occupying the remainder of the evening. In the second place, the party was not a general student affair, but a pri- vate entertainment. Had there not been so many guests it would have been held at a private house.
In the course of planning the affair, however, it was found that there would be too many to be ac- commodated comfortably in this way, and Firemens Hall was hired as the only available place for the party. But it was rented by private individuals and for pri- vate purposes; we cannot see how it could be otherwise construed.
The fact that the Hall is used for public purposes does not change the principle. At a public affair
either admission is charged or else it is free to all who may wish to attend; no admission was charged on the occasion under discussion, and all guests received written in- vitations, no one attending with- out such invitation. In the third place, if this was construed by the faculty as being a public or semi- public student dance, why have they not taken action on other oc- casions, notably the Sophomore banquet of the class of 1915 and the Kanakadea banquet of the same class held last year at the Country Club in Wellsville? In both instances dancing constituted a prominent part of the evening's entertainment. In both instances there were guests from other classes. Both affairs were held in public places. The reason is obvious. Had these affairs been held in Alfred the result would have been otherwise. These are but two instances; there have been several others. But wherein does the principle involved in each case differ from that of the others? The mere fact that this affair was held in Firemens Hall in Alfred, does not change its character.
In the fourth place, there were present, by invitation, chaperones who happened to be faculty mem- bers. The duties of chaperones are, at least so we have always thought, to remain through the affair in which they are supposed to be exercising a certain regu- lative function and, if anything is done which does not meet with their approval, to declare 1 hem- selves to those who are engaged in such action and to insist upon a change. Neither of these con- ditions was fulfilled on this oc- casion, the ehaperones leaving early without having spoken a word in objection to the dancing, at least not to those who were engaged in it.
For these four reasons then;
that the party was not primarily a dancing party, that it was a pri- vate affair not under faculty jurisdiction, that action has not been taken in other cases of es- sentially the same character, that the chaperones neither spoke to those engaged in dancing nor stayed to enforce a rule which, in their judgment, covered the case, the students in general feel that faculty intervention in this case

was unwarranted and their de- cision unjust.
We should be glad to receive a statement of the other side of the case for publication in the col- umns of Fiat Lux. _^
We don't like the looks of some of the head lines we've had on the front pages of three of our issues, but we feel that we should give practically the same prominence to a defeat that we do to a victory.
We have observed that on one oc- casion, at least, Rochester has relegated the account of a defeat for her eleven to the back page, employing a single column head, but though this is undoubtedly the more comfortable mode of pro- cedure, our conscience won't allow us to do it.
The mass meeting Thursday night, previous to the Thiel game, was the most discouraging fea- ture we have had to face since the Mansfield and Hobart defeats.
The fact that not more than forty people were present is a strong in- dictment of the caliber of Alfred students.
How much longer is it to be be- fore we are to realize that in bring-
ing Alfred up to a recognized ath- letic standing we are confronted with a big problem? How much longer are we going to meet this question in the half-hearted, super- ficial manner we have in the past'!
Pulling a school's athletics out of a rut in which they have been for years is not the work of the first few games nor of one season. Why not face the situation in its true light and work with a more far- reaching end in view, that end to be worked for by means of a more definite and broader system?
Let us finish the season with that idea and during the coming
year formulate a plan more com- prehensive than we have in the past. The sooner we do away with high school methods and adopt college system in dealing with this college issue, the sooner we are going to make Alfred a formidable power in athletics.
We may expect adverse criti- cism to the effect that we have this week published in our edi- torial columns matter which might injure Alfred in the esti- mation of trustees, prominent alumni, parents and prospective students. To those who would raise this objection we would reply in advance that the policy of this publication, which aims to reflect student opinion in a straightfor- ward and fearless manner, a policy which should be that of every self- respecting college paper, leaves us no alternative. College men and women are not children.

BOOTHE C. DAVIS, Pres.
B. R. CRANDALL, A. U. 1899, RESIGNS
In the issue of the Idaho Falls Daily Post for August 12, 1914, there appears the annual report of B. R. Crandall, superintendent of schools of Idaho Falls, Idaho;
following which is his letter an- nouncing his resignation, to take place September 1, 1915.
For eight years Mr. Crandall has been at the head of the school system of Idaho Falls, during which time the system has grown from one building to five build- ings, which even now are over- crowded. Largely through Mr.
Crandall's efforts, the following high school courses have been in- troduced during his administra- tion, besides the ordinary course there called "college prepara- tory :'' commercial preparatory, manual training, home economics, normal, and agriculture. Between one and two thirds of the high school students are enrolled in in- dustrial or vocational courses. An- other feature is the short course given to those students who can not attend school the whole year.
One of the most important of these additional courses is that of agriculture. In the October num- ber of The American School Board Journal, there is a most interest- ing illustrated article by. Mr. Cran- dall on "Agriculture in Idaho Falls High School,'' describing the plans and work of this school in the agricultural department.
Because of what he has don for the schools, the people of Idahc
Falls greatly dislike to lose Mr Crandall as superintendent. The regret for Mr. Crandall's resigna school board has expressed its regret for Mr. Crandall's resigna tion and appreciation of his ser- vices in appropriate resolutions

FORESTRY NOTES The Arboriculturist of the State College of Forestry at Syracuse, who is a graduate landscape en- gineer, is making tree surveys of a number of communities in the State as a part of the extension work in Forestry of the College.
Prom these tree surveys will re- sult planting plans and sugges- tions for beautification not only of streets and parks, but the rounds of public buildings in the various communities. Following .his advisory work, the Arboricul- turist of the College will give il- ustrated lectures for the purpose of letting the people of the com- nunities know how much work of
;his kind means to civic develop- ment and beautification. Too ittle attention is being paid to ,rees along our country roads, in school yards and on playgrounds about the State. Systematic effort is being made by the Col- ege to interest the people of vari- ous communities in this work.
During the past month the Arboriculturist has made recon- laissance tree surveys in New Ro- jhelle, Newburg, Olean and in Binghamton and the work will be iontinued as rapidly as possible
>ver the State. The services of he Arboriculturist are loaned to he various communities who bear iis traveling expenses only. It s believed by the College that the
>eople of the State can be inter- sted in the forests of the State hrough their interest in the trees ibout their homes.

NEW YORK WOOD UTILIZA- TION NOTES
From The New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse The products of the forest are used more closely in New York than in any other State. The Ad- irondacks are very similar to the famous Black Forest of Germany, both in topography and general forest conditions, and in the not distant future will produce equal- ly as valuable forest crops.
Over 58,000,000 board feet of lumber are annually consumed in this State for musical instruments, chiefly pianos. Spruce makes the best sounding boards on account of its excellent resonant qualities.
Over 9,000,000 board feet of spruce are used in this industry.
The Adirondack spruce is famous for this purpose.
The past summer has been 'very favorable to tree growth and many of the forest species of the State have produced a heavy crop of tree seed. The State College of Forestry at Syracuse is col- lecting a large quantity of seed of various evergreens and hard- woods. Among the evergreens the hemlock and balsam fir have seeded especially profusely. Effort is being made to get large quanti- ties of the seed of white ash, bass- wood, tulip or white wood and other hardwood trees of value.
The students are collecting a con- siderable quantity of seed in the vicinity of Syracuse as a part of their laboratory work. They are taught the best methods of col- lecting, estimating the amount of seed to the pound and stratifying for the winter.
New York consumes about 8 000 tons of material for tanning purposes, a large portion of whicli is hemlock and chestnut oak bark Chestnut wood is being used also as well as foreign materials, such as quebrache wood, mangrove bark, and myrobolan nuts, to sup- ply the demand.
The State Forestry Association organized at Syracuse in January 1913 has made rapid growth dur- ing the two years of its existence and now has over 500 members from every section of the state and from many states outside of New York. It will hold its Third Annual Meeting in Convention Hall in Rochester in January, 1915, and it is expected to have leading foresters and naturalists from all parts of the country on its program. The evening meet- ing will be given up to informal addresses and moving pictures showing woods operations, activ- ities of forest schools and the life of the forester.
The boys of the State Ranger School at Wanakena, which is un- der the control of The New York State College of Forestry at Syra- cuse, are living in the woods on a 7,000 acre tract of timber belong- ing to the Newton Falls Paper Company. Besides making a for- st map and a 10 per cent estimate of the timber, they are learning to cook and live as woodsmen.
Previous to this the Ranger stu- dents mapped and. estimated 3,000 acres of timber near Adams. Men in this School are being prepared
;o fill positions as Guards, Rang- ers, Tree Planting Experts and forest Estate Managers and are 3ut up against everyday woods problems both in the school and in
he woods.
As many different kinds o trees are cut in New York foi lumber as in any other state There are about eight softwood;
or conifers and about 50 differen kinds of hardwoods or broadlea:
trees cut for commercial purposes New York is the leading easten state in the production of veneers They were formerly made princi pally of such valuable woods as mahogany, walnut, rosewood cherry, satinwood. Now our prin cipal veneers are made of rec gum, yellow pine, maple, yellow poplar and cottonwood. Veneers are thin slices of wood over cheap backing or "core." They are made in three different ways by sawing, by slicing and by a ro- tary cut process. The best are made by the sawing process. The old prejudice against veneerec furniture is passing, because it is often stronger and more durable than solid furniture.
Due to the great European War, the source of supply of Circassian walnut has been cut off and we are turning to the use of our own native walnut, which is again be- coming very popular. Before the war most of our native walnut was sent to England, Germany and France.
Two weeks ago the 250 men in the State College of Forestry at Syracuse held their Annual Fall Field Day and Camp Fire. The boys left Syracuse in the morn- ing, having a barbecue at noon at one of the Green Lakes near Syra- use. A wood chopping contest was held at which R. H. ITutchins of Constable, N. Y., chopped
;hrough a 6 " ironwood log in 19 seconds. Following the barbecue and wood chopping contest, there s a tent pitching contest which consisted of the taking down of a
lully equipped 9x9' tent, packing the tent on a horse's back, taking t a certain distance and back to he point of beginning and then
?e-pitcbing the tent. Some jmaz- ng records were made for the ritching of a tent complete.
These contests were followed by Aigs of war, games and general (Voods sports. The students of
he college get together several imes a year in this way to de- velop a wood's spirit as well as a srofessional spirit.

NEW FOOTBALL SONGS At the request of the cheer lead- ers, we are reprinting the three new songs anonymously submitted some weeks ago. Two of them appeared in our columns and the third in the Alfred Sun.
Students are requested to bring this issue of Fiat Lux to the mass meeting on Wednesday night in order to practice the songs.
Tune—Baby Mine
can not beat you out, you can put them all to rout,
For it's 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.
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. U.
Made good our boast today.
Instead of the phrase "We're on our way" in the first verse, the fol- lowing may be inserted, "We came today."
VICTORY SONG
Tune—Hesitation Waltz, "Dreaming"
Play the game Just the same,
No matter who the enemy, Alfred's fame
Be your aim,
Old Alfred wants the victory;
She can win with the nine, With the five, with the line;
Keep her name Free from blame, She must win today!
FOOTBALL SNAPSHOTS The Yale-Princeton game was the big contest of the week. Yale by winning 19-14 scored the first decision between these two teams since 1911.
Cornell scored a 28-13 victory over Michigan, thereby settling one of the most uncertain games of the season.
Dartmouth has a tendency this year to run up high scores against teams of high calibre. Her defeat of Pennsylvania 41-0, was another example.
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.

Syracuse staked "her all" on a triumph over Colgate, but the best she could do was a 0-0 tie.
Ilobart held Rochester 6-3. This speaks well for our late van- quishers of Election Day.
Harvard's second string men four times found the ball within he shadow of the goal-post, but were unable to do better than a 0-0 tie against Brown.
ASSEMBLY ADDRESS An especially scholarly and commendable address was given at the Assembly last Wednesday by Dean A. E. Main of the Theo- logical Seminary. Dean Main's subject was "The Fundamental Four," which were: religion, sci- ence, philosophy and psychology."
He stated the case of each of the last three against religion, show- ing how their questioning has led to a broader interpretation of the Bible and a consequent strength- ening of religious truth, and pointed out the fact of their in- terelation and interdependence, each being essential to the other, the greatest being religion. Sci- ence has, he said, led us to appre- ciate the symbolism of the Bible;
philosophy has given us more logical ground for belief in God and the salvation of the soul, while psychology has strength- ened and broadened our under- standing.
