Varsity Piles up 33 Points on Hobart
RADY INDIVIDUAL STAR—FIRST VICTORY OVER HOBART SINCE 1907—PUTS ALFRED IN LEAD OF MINOR
NEW YORK COLLEGES
Spectacular Vaudeville by College Juniors, Monday, Nov. 20—
Tickets 39 Cents The purple and gold of Alfred!
"loated high above the purple and orange of Hobart last Friday afternoon when the Varsity ad- ministered a 33 to 0 defeat to the
3eneva College.
After years and years of either annual drubbings oi tie games he Varsity at last rose in its trength and threw off the yoke of tradition. The deed. was easily accomplished and was better done
;han even the most optomistic had noped for.
Alfred Leads Minor New York Colleges
The score is a source of great de- light to all Alfred, for it still proves her superiorty over Roches- ter who claimed that defeat .by Al- fred (whien is the only game she has lost) was done before her team was organized and ready for a real game; but the Flower City could only register 25 points against the sturdy Genevans.
Rochester has given the smali end of large scores to each of the following: St. Lawrence College, Clarkson Tech, University of Buf- falo and Hamilton College; while Hamilton has won from Columbia.
These according to "dope" give Alfred the top place in the footbalJ of the minor New York colleges.
The first quarter was nip and tuck but during the second, Al- fred scored twice by taking ad- vantage of two Hobart fumbles, Grady carrying a mixed-up punt for 35 yards and Decker running 50 for another touchdown after catching a fumble before it touched the ground.
In the third quarter Alfred be- gan a drive from Hobart's 70 yard line. Witter, Alfred's 138 pound fullback, made 44 of the require- ment by successive line plunges, Lobaugh ran ten, and King car- ried it over by a 12 yard end run.
The last quarter gave Alfred two

ART EXHIBIT AT CERAMIC SCHOOL
Wood Block Prints and Litho- graphs
An exhibit of colored wood- block prints and lithographs is be- ing arranged in the Studio on the third floor of the Ceramic School and will be open to the public for the first time on Thursday after- noon of this week.
This exhibit is' loaned by the Library of Congress through the American Federation of Arts anc will be here during the month of November. It includes a number of wood block prints by Helen Hyde of Japanese children and is well worth seeing.

NOVEMBER TWENTIETH—ITS OUT
Next Monday night the curtalu of Alfred's amusement house rises :or the first time on the glamour and all the fascinating f oolishneu of a mildly rabid vaudeville show.
Never, since the days of David and Henry VIII will there have burst forth so much beauty, loveliness ,so versatile, entertainment so bril- iant, in so short a period of time, and for such a price.
From the time the first beaut/
jhorus lopes artistically onto the stage, until the last kick fades un- jer the final drop, there can be nothing but joy—pert, chic, effer- vescent, rapturous joy. Oh tl- >
heartstrings that will snap before that beauty chorus; it is some chorus, all girlies, ten of 'em, ten scintillating Broadway venuses.
And their wings have never been clipped.
Out before the curtain rapid skits feature such celebrities as that glorious Dutchman Al, and the infinite Blumey, the "Divine Laura," supported by Poole, the superb Crawford and Wilcox, and Randolph and Nash. But this is forgetting that funny, fussy, furious little flurry of the stile, and the dizzy dance of the '' Giddy, Giddy Girls," thoroughbreds every one, and riding the cloud;.
This is almost forgetting the see saw's delightfully little story c f life's philosophy, and the tingle of the spectacular ensemble.
Monday night the lights gleam iu only one place. All the color, all the excitement, all the life will quiver in that gleam, in the Junior vaudeville show. The tickets are thirty-nine cents. You'll have to hurry.

ST. BONAVENTURE THROWS A BLUFF
Snappy Story Style Writer Buries His Own Case
The following is a part of a long article which appeared in a recent issue of the Hornell Tri- bune-Times in reply to a statement that was circulated to the effect that Saint Bonaventure worked her oft repeated breach of college athletic custom, by playing '' ring- ers" and accepting a copy of the Alfred signals.
The writer obviously took his pen out for a little exercise and while much credit must be given him for his style, he succeeded only in tearing up the turf, enough so it is hoped to complete- ly bury any future athletic con- nection between them and Alfred:
Yes, sir, we are treacherous. You don't believe it? Take another look at the tearful wail just mentioned. We are treacherous; we knew their sig- nals; we entertained "transient citi- zens" from their "inner circle," and coaxed, wheedled and perhaps even threatened the poor unfortunate into telling us all about Alfred's signal code. Isn't that monstrous?
We plead guilty to the charge of en- tertaining "transient citizens" from Alfred's "inner circle:" they jump off the Erie freights here every day and congregate around the kitchen doors at meal time, looking for handouts;
but we never talk football to them, nor did we ever—pardon us for saying so ourselves—think so ill of Alfred, in spite of all that has gone before, as to suspect these brake-beam tourists of being intimates to Alfred's "inner circle."
And we had a team of "hired play- ers.'i. Isn't it awful? The nasty, naughty Irish from Allegany have been picking on Alfred's football team again. They have not been content with walloping Alfred regularly for lo! these many years but now they must get a "hired" team. They didn't want Alfred, to win this year, either, in spite of the fact that in all the past years, Alfred has won only one game, and doesn't want too much attention directed at that one lest the odor be- come noticeable And so the Irish brought down a team of "hired play- ers. We leave it to you, now didn't that man Carmont look like a black- smith? And you can tell from the way O'Brien makes 40 yard runs that he's a boiler-maker by trade. And Sullivan—you remember Sullivan? He was put out of the game because some kind-spirited handed him a drink of water from the side-lines—Sullivan is a policeman in disguise, but you must not tell anybody. And the rest of them just got back from Mexico and aren't fit company for the Alfred darlings.

All the Fiat wishes to do is just to ask when Conolin with his three years of grade education is going back to his expressman's job in LeRoy and under what name his fellow townsman, Tully, played while on the Bona team?
It might be interesting for them to compare their account of Sla- vin's career with that the Fiat holds. The article denies neither charge and Alfred has no back stepping in mind.

Dr. Titsworth said everyone has the power of creative energy. One of the ways to get access to this energy is by having more self-con- fidence. Self-analysis aids in ac- quiring this energy as do also the necessity of aiming high and liv- ing in the presence of our supreme ambitions.
The next lecture of the series is '•"The Rebirth of Religion—The Psychology of Prayer."

Alfred, N. Y., November 14, 1916 .• EEP BACK OP THE WIRE AT
THE GAME A Serious Proposition It is lamentable that the stu- dents cannot see their own good far enough to keep back of the wires at tha football games. The task of enforcing this, imposed up- cn the local policemen, is too ardu- ous, under the prevailing spirit, to continue to ask without giving them the power of arrest and punishment. Chief Sisson, hoping to make the students see the cir- cumstances in a way of personal responsibilty, appointed two stu- dent deputies for the Hobart game.
Due to a lack of publicity of the fact of the official appointment and because the two appointed have previously formed the repu- tation of frequent " s t u n t s " ijn which class self-appointment might easily be classed, the effort was not very successful.
During the subsequent games of the season the thoughtless or thoughtful rooter who comes through the ropes will place him- self liable to unpleasant conse- quences. The issue is serious and deserves serious co-operation.

Finances
All This Year's Expenses So Far Paid, Fair must Net Over $200
Managing Editor Perkins sub- mits the following approximate report of the progress of the fi- nancial end of the paper.
Subscribers Paid 39 Faculty 26 72 . Agricultural 57 92 Out of town 34 8 Local 4 Agricultural students who have not paid will receive no more papers until payment is made. It is hoped that a larger numbert of out-of-town friends of Alfred will respond with subscriptions.
The advertisements will prob- ably net about $275.00
All issues of the present volume have been paid for with money received from Ag, Faculty and out-of-town subscribers. No money has come from the College sub- scribers, as this was paid to the College treasurer on the tuition bills and all the red tape has not been unwound yet.
PROSPECTS
College $255 00 Other subscribers 181 50 Advertisements 275 00
$711 50 This leaves over $200 to be rais- ed by the FIAT FAIR in order to pay current expenses and clear away last year's $280 deficit. Bear this in mind and make the Fair the best yet.

The second floor of Kenyon Me- morial Hall was made into a very pleasant reception hall Wednes- day afternoon when an informal tea was held for the college stu- dents and faculty.
A large number took advantage of the invitation. More would have been present but for a Cer- amic tea held at the same time.
Evidently college men are not es- pecially fond of teas, for they were quite conspicuous for their absence. The success of this event is due to Profr. Hart, Dr. P. E.

Y. M. C. A. TEACHING CHINESE HOW TO PLAY
Rev. J. W. Crofoot Speaks in Y. M.
A very interesting meeting was held Sunday evening, Rev. J. W.
Crofoot, A. U. '95, a missionary to China, speaking of the develop- ment of China since the coming of the Christian missionary. A few indicators of this which are easily noticeable, are the very great de- crease in the amount of opium used, the giving up by the women of the old foot binding custom.
The Christian missionaries have al- so introduced oil lamps into the homes of the poor in the place of ill-smelling candles and wicks that gave a weak light.
The Y. M. C. A. in China is do- ing a great work. Its largest field is in teaching the Chinaman how to play. He never knew any way to play except gambling until the Y. M. C. A. introduced ath- letics, about which the Chinaman has become very enthusiastic.
The Y. M. certainly hope to hear more about China, and the work that is going on there, and hope Rev. Crofoot will talk again.
Watch the bulletin boards for no- tices of next week's meeting.
IMPOSSIBLE TO FORM VOL- UNTEER ARMY OVER-
NIGHT
Prof. Fiske in Assembly Address on "A Month at Plattsburg"
Draws Above Conclusion At assembly hour, Nov. 8, Prof. Fiske related to the stu- dent body his "Experiences at Plattsburg." This training camp, situated on the west shore of Lake Champlain, was a good sized town made up of a post- office, a hospital, a Y, M. C. A.
and the tents of the company.
The program of the camp, which was no doubt representative of all military training camps, gave some idea of the preparation which has been going on during the past few years. The daily schedule was 5:45, Reveille; 6:15, Mess; 7:15, Drill; 12:00, Mess;
1:00 p.m., Drill; 5:00, Retreat;
6:00, Mess; 7:00, Lecture; 10:00, Call to Quarters. Many elective courses were offered in cavalry, artillary, infantry and medical aid.
The first two weeks of camp were devoted to skirmishes and to the teaching of the first essen- tials of real military life. The third week was spent in practice on the rifle range and the fourth week's program was a long bike.
Fifteen hundred men were accompanied by army trucks, ambulances, motor cycles and cavalry. The days were varied by sham battles and the nights with explanatory talks on t he events of the day, bonfires, stories, songs, games and band music. Before the week was finished many had dropped from the ranks, discouraged and sick.
This fact illustrated the falacy of the theory so often stated, that an army of one million men could be formed over night.

STUDENTS VOTE TO KEEP CARLISLE GAME HERE Whitford Puts the Question at
Hobart Mass Meeting The spirit shown at the mass meeting last Thursday night was one of determination, the students putting forth every ounce of energy to prepare themselves for the game Friday. They seemed moved more by rational desire to give a good account of themselves from the side lines than by an effervescence of enthusiasm.
Ayars' course in cheering was strenuous but showed up well on the field.
Bliss '17, called on student man- ager Sherwood '18 for a speech and then "Nube" said "that although he hadn't picked out a girl yet"
(rude laughter from the rear seats) he would call on Mildred Taber '17, to speak for the women.
She assured all of their hearty support.
Graduate Manager Whitford then put the question to the stu- dents as to whether the Carlisle game should be played on the Al- fred field. The Hornell Chamber of Commerce would be willing to give a donation to the Associaton if the game be played in that city, in which case the students would not be asked to pay admission but would, however, incur the expense of the trip down and back. If the students were willing to pay fifty cents for the game (regular admis- sion 75c) the management would stage the game on Alfred's field.
This is not asking too much of the students for they have more than received the worth of their ath- letic tickets ($2.00) in four first- team games and four second-team rrames which would have cost
$2.85, to say nothing of the basket ball games that will come in this semester. The students voted al- most unanimously to keep the game here.

ALFRED SHOULD SEND LARGE DELEGATION TO
ITHACA
Continued from page one
large number of students will at- tend this year.
The Student Volunteer Move- ment was originated by John R.
Mott, a noted graduate of Cornell, its purpose is to evangelize the world in this generation, and many college people have been led
to choose a life on the mission field through its influence. At this time of war and violence there is a great call for help from the college students and this need will be considered. It is not necessary that you be a Student Volunteer in order to attend this Conference as a delegate, but if you are inter- ested in Christianity you will feel well repaid for the three days spent in Ithaca. The list of speakers is still incomplete, but already many noted men and wo- men have been engaged who will tell of their work in various parts of the world. Those who have attended these conferences in the past say that they have received much inspiration in meeting the students of other colleges and 'learing the speakers.
Entertainment will be furnished free of charge and if ten or more attend, the traveling erpenses will be kept under five dollars. The other necessary expenses are for two meals a day while at Ithaca and a registration fee which will be paid by the Christian Associ- ations. As the expense is low and the trip is made during the Thanksgiving vacation, the Chris- tian Associations are confident of sending an unusually large dele- gation. All students who will go should give their names to Hazel Perkins or Willard Sutton as soon as possible stating a preference for a room mate if any, and also the name of any friends with whom they may stay while in Ithaca.

LATEST SONG HIT Women Introduce New Football
Song
The college women appeared at the mass meeting last Wednesday night with the following song which met with immediate ap- proval and sounded across the field many times at the Hobart game:
Tune—"Dixie"
We are from Alfred, Yes we're from Alfred,
Where they always have a winning team.
The line's a stone wall, won't budge at all,
And the back-field's sure to deliver the goods
Bv'n though they say we are a team from the back woods.
We are going to beat that team today
Oh, we're going to beat , WE MUST BEAT
'Cause we're from old A. U.
If You Were Cast
Away on a Lonely Island—
you wouldn't give a rap how you looked or how you dressed
But you aren't.
You are in Alfred University, a school of aggressive and well dressed men. And to keep in step with progress, you can't ignore the dollars and cents and social value of goo * clothes and a good appearance.
KUPPENHEIMER SUITS AND OVERCOATS
are the choice of college men who have found in them greater values, and clothes of superior quality and workmanship. A visit to this store will demonstrate why they are so popular.

Continued from page one
more touchdowns, one when
"Mac's" punt carried the ball to Hobart's 10 yard line and Lo- baugh carried the return punt back to the 15 yard line and Al- fred pushed her way through. In the last few minutes of play Grady completed a pass for 35 yards and the last touchdown.
Hobart showed much strength at times and once carried the line to within 6 yards of the goal line and the intensity of the moment only relapsed when McConnell re- covered one of Hobart's manv fumbles; and she held Alfred once for downs when the purple and gold was only fifteen yards from another touchdown.
Grady and Witter-Stars—Only Four Penalties in Game Grady was the individual star of the game while Witter'3 lino plunges netted nearly half of Al- fred's line play advances. Holm- quist and Dinan were the orly sources of gain Hobart could find.
Only four penalties were inflict- ed, an offside on each side, Ho- bart 40 yards for having her coach on the field and Alfred 15 yards for holding.

STEINHEIM HOUSES ORIGIN- AL BUST OF SANTA AN-
NA'S DAUGHTER Mexican Beauty's Bust After
Long History, Placed in Steinheim
1094: R41. Anthropology Bust of the Daughter of Santa
Anna
I Front Rotunda, north side.
Santa Anna became the Dictator of Mexico in 1853, and to popular- ize Mmself and awaken a spirit of national pride in the race, sever- ed by internal dissentions for a period of half a century, he began a campaign for improvements, adopting as a slogan for this cam- paign "Mexico the Venice of America.''
He placed many municipal parks over the city and in every way sought to teach Mexico the needs of culture. In the Plaza be- fore the residential mansion there was proposed a famous fountain.
It was to depict a typical Mexican Belle, and upon submitting it to the popular vote of the City, Mexico chose as their best, his daughter, the idol of the aged Santa Anna's heart. She was the child of the new nation, of pure Spanish descent on her father's side, and of the best Mexican In- dian heritage through her mother.
She was sent to Italy where her statute was carved by one of the most skilled of Italian masters of the best Carrara marble. She came home by the New York route, as direct service was not at that time established with Italy and Mexico.
She was absent only a year, but things were happening with al- most present day rapidity. New York wished the girl Godspeed on her journey, but demanded a large customs duty on the marble copy of her, for the United States had imposed a high protective tariff on Carrara to encourage the Ver- mont marble industry, at that time in its infancy.
Santa Anna now found himself in an uncomfortable relation with the people. He had been dismiss- ed from the place of power, and the daughter came home to the house of a deposed and dishonored father. He was without re- sources, and practically in exile.
Years passed, the statute was still in the Customs House of New York City. The Civil War broke out, and the draft riots and the anti negro demonstrations that ac- companied that period followed.
The negroes in terror fled to the city and governmental buildings, thinking they would there be ex- empt from the anger of the crowd.
The buildings were sacked and burned. This statue was dis- mantled and broken. The head was carried to the street and drop- ped, being subsequently picked up by a man desirous of more intoxi- cants and traded at a neighboring saloon. On the day following']
William VanVechton, a marble cutter by trade, passing the saloon window noticed the grade of the work, entered and purchased it for a small sum.
He sent it to President Allen.
A moment's inspection of the bust reveals that it is no common piece of work. The technique is superior. The stitches of the gar- ment, the buttonholes perfectly shown, the very artlessness of the open throated garment, in its graceful curves is a master's work.
The loosened hair, the strength of feature of almost a boyish face has a certain element of fascina- tion.
Remember the girl was half Spanish and half Mexican, and ap- preciate the grecian lines of %the face.
The vicissitudes through which this rare work of art has passed are lamentable. The alabaster white of the Carrara marble has been irreparibly replaced by a reamy white, due to the staining of the marble by a leak in the roof of the building, before it became the property of the College. Iron rust produces a permanent stain on the stone.
It is worthy of comment that this piece of work was traced twice across the Atlantic Ocean and lost in the customs house of New York, by one of the greatest American artists.
The records as told were given by the late Charles Still- man, to whom VanVechton re- lated the story, while engaged in recording the dates on the tomb- stone of the late David R. Still- man.
