AT THE YALE CLUB
The Harvard and Princeton Games—
Library Committee’s Address.
Last Saturday afternoon the drawing
and smoking rooms of the Yale Club
were crowded by members assembled
to watch the bulletin of the Harvard
game provided by the House Com-
mittee. By long distance telephone ser-
vice every play was reported directly
from the field at Cambridge to the club
house, where the results were an-
nounced by Noah Swayne, 2d. A
large board, marked off in five yard
lines, was set up in the’ back of the
smoking room an across this mimic
field a crimson disk was moved when
Harvard had the ball and a blue one
when Yale was rushing. As the game
grew more and more exciting the en-
thusiasm of the audience grew also, and
when Yale made her grand stand and
prevented an apparently inevitable
touchdown, there was some good old-
fashioned cheering. The same arrange-
ments have been made for reporting the
meeting between Princeton and Yale
next Saturday.
HARVARD AND PRINCETON GAMES.
Everyone in this New York “audi-
ence’ was surprised at the result of the
Cambridge game. There had been
those who prophesied a tie, but no one,
up to the time of this writing, has
been found who had the courage or
insight or luck to predict that neither
side would score: 10 to’ 4, 12 to 6, 16 to
8, etc., had been the results generally
foretold, the feeling being that neither
team was strong enough on the de-
fensive to prevent their goal line being
passed at least once—although some
wiseacres had more than once asserted
that Harvard might be able to do this
trick. Yale’s plucky defense. was a
great and gratifying surprise.
It is this improvement in the de-
fensive work which is making Yale men
here look forward with a bit more con-
fidence to the coming game with Prince-
ton. To be sure, everyone realizes what
strong opponents Captain Rodgers’
men will have in the veteran New Jer-
sey eleven, but in the bright lexicon of
Yale there is no such word as despair
while hope and its many synonyms
occur over and over again. It is ex-
pected that a large crowd of Yale men
will go up from New York, and the
arrival of football tickets is being anxi-
ously awaited.
CLUB AFFAIRS.
Football has apparently » overshad-
owed everything else for the time being,
and there is nothing much to talk or
write about at the Club outside of this
at the present. To-morrow evening
there will be a meeting of the Council,
but the officers announce that nothing
but routine business will probably
come up for discussion. The Library
Committee have had prepared and
printed a circular setting forth the needs
of this department of the Club, a copy
of which is appended. The work of
sending these out commenced on Satur-
day, and it is proposed to send out be-
tween five and six hundred copies to
stir up the alumni to action.

pointed by the Council to provide and
care for a Library for the Club, appeal
to the members for contributions in
books, memorabilia, and money.
“They ask especially for books, re-
cords, pictures or any matter whatever
relating to the life at Yale and the
history of the University and of its
graduates: for while the Library will
be a general one, it is desired to make
it specially rich in all that has to do
with the history and memories of Yale
and Yale men:
“Of such books and memorabilia as
may be offered, there will of course be
some duplicates and some superfluities,
which the Committee. reserves the right
to exchange for more available matter.
While they hope to receive some things
which it would be hard for money to
buy, they need money for other things,
as the first essential of the Library is,
of course, expensive works of reference,
which can hardly be hoped for among
the contributions of books. Back
umbers of periodicals may be of ser-
vice, and class-records are particularly
desired. 7
“Without slavishly imitatingany other
institution, the Club may of course pro-
fit by the experience of all; and there-
fore it may be justifiable to state here
that the University Club was provided
with a fine Library by the voluntary
contributions of the members, and that
until that Club had attained its mature
prosperity, was anything spent on the
Library from the Club funds.
“The Committee is glad to be able
to announce that, even before its ap-
pointment, contributions of books and
money (including one subscription of
$100) had been offered—an outpouring
of “the Yale spirit’ not unlike that
which led the good gentlemen of Say-
brook, of whom we have heard so often,
to put their contributions of books on
the table, and found our University.
If the outpouring continues in due pro-
portion, we ought to have a fair refer-
ence Library and an interesting col-
lecti6n of memorabilia before the end
of the year, and that without intrench-
ing on the Club’s funds.
“The Committee is authorized also
to receive and place pictures or any
other work of art, and some interesting
ones have already been offered.
“Contributions will be gratefully re-
ceived at the Club house. They should
be addressed to the Secretary of the
Committee

-report from Cambridge
Death of Henry A. Hurlbut.
Mr. Henry Augustus Hurlbut, a
prominent New York financier, died at
his home in New York City on Fri-
day afternoon, November 12, from an
attack of heart diseases. He was born
in Hartford, Conn., on December 8.
He was one of the founders of the
Second National Bank of New York,
and its first president, one of the in-
corporators of the Equitable Life In-
surance Society, a trustee of the Mer-
cantile Trust Company, and has held
many other positions of importance.
In 1858 he founded: the Henry A.

$1000 for one year,) which is awarded
in sticcessive years to the student in

second best examination in Latin com-
position (excellence in which is essen-
tial to success), in the Greek of the
year, and in the solution of algebraic
problems. :

Punishing Harvard Football
Players.
As the WEEKLY goes to press, the
is that the
Harvard athletic authorities, to punish
the men for not winning Saturday,
have removed the ‘H” from the uni-
forms of the players who took part in
the Yale game, telling them they can
get the mark of honor back only by
winning from Pennsylvania. There is
not time to verify the report from our
usual sources, but the statement seems
reliable. Yale men will, however, not
be able to believe it is true until they
are obliged to.
The New
Exchangeable Policy
- OF THE...
Phoenix Mutual Life ...
Insurance Co.,
of Hartford, Conn.
Provides insurance for life at a low
premium, with guaranteed Cash,
Paid-up, Loan and Extended In-
surance Values. And at the same
time the policy can be changed a
few years later to a Limited Pre-
mium Life or Endowment Policy
without losing advantage of the
premiums already paid, or having
to pay a higher premium on
account of advanced years.
