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.

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.

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.
