YALE ALU Seat HARVARD'S DEBATING RULE. Less Coaching by the Faculty Mem- bers.— Princeton Celebrates. In view of the renewal of athletic relations with Yale, Harvard men are immediately beginning to think of their prospects of winning the boat race next Spring, to be rowed on the time- honored course at New London. It is expected that Mr. Lehmann, the Eng- lish coach, who is now at Cambr'dge, will infuse new rowing blood into the Harvard crew, and much _ interest is centered in his methods and work. The English manner of boat-rigging has al- ready been applied to the Harvard boat and the blades have been Mnar- rowed. The candidates for the crew have begun active training, retiring at 10:30, and reporting at 7:40 every morn- ing for a short walk before breakfast. The Freshmen were especially pleased to win their annual game against Pennsylvania’s Freshmen on November 21, in view of the Univer- sity’s two defeats, and feel that their players deserve much credit. At a meeting of the Advisory Com- mittee on Debating, held last Wednes- day night the following vote was passed :— Voted: “That in the opinion of the Advisory Board the assistance of in- structors in Harvard University in competitive debates, except in the case of the instructor in elocution, should be limited to pointing out ma- terial, giving information and sug- gesting the general analysis of the subject. They should not arrange lines of arguments, criticise the speeches of the members of the teams, or debate against them.’ The Harvard Crim- son in its editorial on this subject, sec- onds the decision of the Advisory Board on the ground that with Fac- ulty coaching the debates reso_ve themselves into contests between the College Faculties, the participants act- ing simply as their mouthpieccs. Yale is cited as carrying this method to the extreme. The vote for Class Day officers re- sulted lin the election of R. H. Steven- son, First Marshal; H. N. Wrighting- ton, Second Marshal, and James Dean, Third Marshal, W. L. Garrison was chosen Class Secretary. Much disappointment was occasion- ed by the Faculty’s refusal to grant a Glee Club trip during the holidays. It was hoped that the vote of last year would be reconsidered. There is a possibility that a new petition will be put before the Faculty for a short- er trip to include the small cities of New England and New York City. The Faculty has recently discussed the penalty to be enforced upon stu- dents who are caught cribbing in ex- aminations and has made the follow- ine announcement :— “The administrative board of the College, holding that the handing in by a student of written work not his own is dishonorable, propcses to separate from the College a student guilty of such conduct and to post his name on the College bulletin boards.” NEWS FROM PRINCETON. The result of the New York game was the signal for universal rejoicing at Princeton. The large score made against Yale was a total surpris2 to even the most sanguine Princeton sup- porters, and the celebration held on the Campus was one of the largest ever witnessed. On Friday evening, December 4, the alumni of Princeton College will give a banquet to the members of the foot- ball team at the Princeton Inn. Cov- ers will be laid for one hundred and fifty guests, of whom fifty will be upper class men. No under class men will be present. J. W. Alexander, ’60, will preside, and A. Joline, ’70, will act as toastmaster. Governor Griggs will be present, and Joseph Sears of Harvard and George A. Adee, ’67, of Yale. Considerable interest is being shown in the preparation for the Harvard- Princeton debate to be held on De- cember 18th, and the candidates are working hard for victory. serves a place (Continued from fifth page.) undoubtedly to some degree by the fact that they played on a winning team and did most of the ground gain- ing for it. In this way the work of Captain Wrightington, of Harvard, is unjustly overlooked. Although his team was defeated by both Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania, he nevertheless, played a most bril- liant game in each of these contests and, when playing against odds, his individual superiority must be Tre- garded as all the more striking. Kel- ly and Bannard, on the other hand were running behind strong interfer- ance or in heavy push plays and were thus largely assisted. The former Of these two nevertheless had _ such marked success that he really de- on the All-America team. Dunlop, of Harvard, is also a man of a prominent rank as a half- back, both in offensive and defensive play, but in the opinion of the pres-— ent writer he is not the equal of Wrightington, and the fairest choice seems to be that of Wrightington and Kelly. A CLOSE DECISION. In reviewing the candidates for the position of fullback, the popular choice would immediately name Baird, of Princeton, as the best player, al- though he has two strong rivals ij in the field, namely Hinkey of Yale, and Beacham, of Cornell. Baird can kick farther, both by a punt and a place kick, than either of the others and is a more accurate drop-kicker. His exhibition, however, in the Yale- Princeton game proved that he was slow in getting off his punts. Twice his kick was blocked and yet oftener he was entirely prevented from kick- ing. But this deficiency may be due to an inadequate method of interfer- ence on the part of the Princeton for- wards or to Smith’s delay in passing. Hinkey, on the other hand was able to make his kick upon every occasion and for a considerable distance. He was assisted very largely by the fact that he received the ball directly from _ the center and had it in his hands al- most before the rest of the players were aware that it had been snapped. The charge of slowness which is so often made against Baird seems to hold less water when these considera- tions are made. In ground gaining, Hinkey probably has more ability, ?! though in the New York game, the Princeton full-back advanced the ball many times farther, aided by his in- vincible interference. | Beacham, of Cornell, is a greater ground gainer than either of the two fullbacks above mentioned, but in kicking he is not vo strong. On a team of stars, the requirements of a full- back are certainly more in the na- ture of kicking than in ground-gain- ing and though Beacham’s record and ability to play foothall would give him a position in the first rank, yet he does not belong on an All-America team as justly as Baird or Hinkey. Of these two, for the same reason Baird, by his superiority in kicking and in handling opposing punts, would be the fairest choice. Although he was se- rioucly deficient in kicking goals after touchdowns had been made in the game against Yale, yet he was able on the kick-off to send the ball over the goal posts, and his other deficien- cy may be attributed to over-confi- dence and 1 slippery ball. Again, the work of kicking goals does not belong strictly to a full-back, as any other man on the eleven, as far as his po- sition is concerned, would be equally suitable to perform this part of the play. To sum up, then, the eleven best players of the past season seem to be -the following:— Ends—Cabot (H.), and Cochran (P.) Tackles—Church (P.), and Uffen- heimer (U. of P.) Guards—Wharton (U. of P.), and Rhinehardt (L.) Center—Shaw (H.) Quarter-back—Fincke (Y.) Half-backs—Wrightington (H.), and Kelly (P.) Full-back—Baird (P.) : Substitutes—Bass (Y.), and Moul- ton (H.), ends; Hillebrand (P.), and Rodgers (Y.), tackles; Woodruff (U. of P.), and Shaw (H.), guards; Gailey (P.) or Chamberlin (Y), center; Smith (P.). quarter; Dunlop (H.), and Ban- nard (P.), half-backs; Hinkey (Y.) or Beacham (C.), full-back.

W HE KLY Notice from the Secretary of THOMPSON, ADAMS & McNEILL, Ninety-four, The Secretary of the Class of ’94 de- Sires, to call the attention of that Class to the fact that he must receive one hundred and fifty more replies to the Class postal issued November 16 in or- der that he may publish a complete list of addresses. Especially are answers necessary from the Yale graduates at the Col- lege of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, the Columbia Law School and the Harvard Law School, as well as from those who have graduated from the New York Law School. Let- ters have not yet been received from the alumni who are in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Buffalo, Hartford and San Francisco. The work on the Triennial Record of the Class is being completed and as soon as possible a copy of each in- dividual record will be sent to that member to which it belongs for crit- icism and correction, and immediate- ly on its return will be placed in the hands of the printer. The address of each member of the Class is especially desired at.once. Information regard- ing the addresses of the following is requested: R. H. Arnot, J. M. Fergu- son, K. C.

WHAT IS 2 ODE INHALER ? X-ODE isa product of electricity. It forms on asbestos while being electrically treated in a solution. This asbestos is put up in a glass vial. When the cork of the vial is removed and the air comes in contact with the asbestos, it emits from the inhaler a soothing gaseous substance, which will penetrate any part of the body. When inhaled through the nose or mouth, it penetrates every nook and crevice of the mucuous surfaces, kills the germ that causes the disease, and gives the tissues a healthy condition, thus effecting a permanent cure. Itisunlike snuff, drugs ormedicine. X-Ode penetrates parts that it would be impossible ior drugs or medicines to do. Catarrh, Asthma, Hay Fever, Coughs, Head- ache, Bronchitis, LaGrippe, etc., yield to its influ- ence with marvelous rapidity. ; This inhaler lasts from one to three years. Trial size inhaler, 15 cents; large size inhaler, $xz.00. All druggists or by mail. - The X-ODE CO., 19 Union Square, New York City. PACH BROS., College « Photographers, 1024 Chapel St., New Haven.
