PLEASE HURRY.
The publication of the Yale War

are so distressingly deliberate about

FOOTBALL TICKETS.
As the announcement elsewhere
shows, the Yale Football Association
is again generously codperating with
the WEEKLY in taking special means to
see that those who keep up their con-
nection with Yale, through this means,
shall have favorable opportunity of wit-
nessing the great football games. As
it is also explained elsewhere, this
special arrangement is made largely on
the ground that by this means tickets
will, with particular certainty, reach
those people for whom they are speci-
ally intended, and by that means the
possibility of an abuse in their handling
will be diminished. We feel sure that
’ this privilege will be accepted and acted
upon in a manner which will show that
it was justly given. In order that its
full benefits may be obtained, subscri-
bers are asked to read with the utmost
care the notice that is printed this week,
and to comply with it to the letter.

THE FOOTBALL SITUATION.
Some people are in the way of saying
that it is an old story with Yale to be
down. When they hear that, they say
that it simply means that Yale will
make a special effort to get up, and it
is well to look out for her. It is the
kind of a yarn, they say, which Mr.
Cook had the reputation of spinning
before the great races. But all this is
merely for the edification of those to
whom the annual athletic contests are
passing shows, and who have in these
contests no interest other than that
which is stimulated by a good game.
The world may talk, but Yale men
know that Yale does not climb out of
the holes she gets into, nor push
over the stone walls which seem immov-
able, nor in general do that which seems
next to impossible, or quite so, unless
somebody, or a number of somebodies,
put their shoulders to the wheel. There
are not so very many of these people
who can be relied upon to give up their
own interests, and strain and tug, just
when it looks as though Yale were be-
ing crowded over the hill.
But there are some, and now the time
has come when a little company, who
know football and how to teach it, can
save Yale from playing her part badly.
We are wondering, here at New Haven, |
whether they ‘will again enlist. It has
been service for many long campaigns
for many of them; still the work seems
to wait for some one to do it as they
only can.
The team is not playing Yale foot-
ball at present. Yet the Captain has
gathered together a great many men
who are physically, mentally and morally
able to play an excellent game of foot-
ball. There is excellent material. and
excellent spirit there: will it be allowed
to shift for itself?
There is a suspicion among a few of
those who have followed the work this
Fall pretty closely, that many a Yale
alumnus has got an unfortunately large
head about the football Eleven. We
do not think that such an impossible
spirit has taken possession of the real
football men among the graduates. We
shall look to see them back here. |
One thing is not to be forgotten.
Last year Yale touched bottom and then .
came up. She traveled all the way from
the lowest point to the highest. Now
she has sagged from the highest. That
is a much more serious situation, in
our lay opinion, than straight climbing
up-hill.
ee
Now it is the Courant’s turn. The
first number of the year shows no radi-
cal change of policy, but an unusually
attractive appearance. The finish is
excellent, and the general effect artistic.
The typographical excellence alone
tempts one to read, and one is not sorry
for yielding to the temptation. The
opening story by Richard Hooker is
very delicate and well done.

Obituary.
SERGEANT LOTEN A. DINSMOOR, EX-'94.
Sergeant Loten A. Dinsmoor, ex-’94,
died of typhoid fever at Porto Rico, on
Thursday, September 23.
Sergeant Dinsmoor was born in
Warren, Pa., in 1870, and after gradua-
tion from the high school, he taught in
several places, meanwhile preparing
-himself for College. He entered Yale
with the Class of Ninety-Four, but left it
during the last part of his Senior year
and did not take his degree. During
the year 1895, he taught school and
then returned to Warren, where he be-
gan reading law in the office of Dins-
moor & Peterson. He enlisted in Com-
pany I, 16th Regt., Pennsylvania Volun-
teer Infantry in 1895.
At the time of his death, Sergeant
Dinsmoor was with his company in
Porto Rico, which was ordered there in
July, in the service of the United States.
The Warren (Pa.) Mirror says of
Sergeant Dinsmoor: “He took a deep
interest in military affairs and was held
in the highest regard by his fellow
soldiers. He was advanced to corporal
and then to sergeant of his Company.
He was also appointed to the office of
company clerk. As a soldier he was
always faithful to duty and deeply in-
spired with patriotism. He went will-
ingly to the front and in the many
letters sent home he never complained
of the hardships endured at camp. He
served his country and his generation
heroically.”
