DEVELOPMENT OF THE NOVEL.

Dears here as a mere addition or after-
thought. In this latter subgroup, Poe,
awthorne, Emily Bronté, the critic
might well have shown a more single
Purpose. :
In the “Realistic Reaction,” Professor
Cross has more ditticulty in showing
reaction and progress, but it seems to
us he has done well in his analysis of
the Dickens school. Nice as the analy-
SIS is, the conclusion that the humani-
tarian novel shows an idealistic or
romantic interpretation of facts and con-.
ditions commonly considered material
Proper to realism, seems to us justified.
It is difficult to establish,—at first sight
it looks like a fanciful basis for the
reaction under Thackeray and George
Eliot, but in our judgment Professor
Cross’s theory accounts for it naturally,
logically and inevitably. “Fielding set
the Spanish rogue story over against
Richardson, and Thackeray professedly
took Fielding as his model in his reac-
tion against Dickens.” (Intro, p. xii:)
Thackeray’s estimate is, perhaps, a bit
grudging. Admitting that he reverted
to the Fielding type of fiction and there-
fore makes no such addition to the art
as George Eliot’s ethical] formula, we
cannot escape the feeling that Thackeray
is slighted in favor of George Eliot,
nor the suspicion that in Professor
Cross’s eyes the novel culminates in her,
that the lines of its growth point more
.or less distinctly to -her. Certain it is
that the writer’s best abilities went to
the making of this, the most extended
study in the volume, and it would be
hard to praise the result too highly.
Those of Meredith, of Hardy, of Henry
James, of Stevenson will be challenged,
doubtless, by the worshipers of each;
they are reserved and cautious and there-
fore perhaps more nicely balanced than
the Eliot -chapter. That on Meredith
we mentioned in connection with Sterne
as showing the critic’s justice towards a
writer whom he cannot unqualifiedly
praise. Its juxtaposition with that on
Eliot is most fortunate and gives the
reader an excellent chance to contrast
the two most striking passages of the
book.
On the whole. in spite of a certain
unevenness, in spite of the sense one gets
that the one volume should be two; that,
upon occasion, the matter seems rather
too ingeniously warped to fit the
theories of the author (e. g. the com-
parison of Jane Austen’s novels with the
Shakespeare comedies, and of Scott’s
with the tragedies) ; one cannot but re-
gard the result with a deep satisfaction.
It is painstaking but most intelligent
scholarship and it is also ripe literary
judgment. It is one of the most impor-
tant contributions to literary history
which has appeared for years: and it
should be a source of pride to Yale men,
not only that a Yale scholar has pro-
duced it, but that it shows the tendency
of literary scholarship here. It would
seem to indicate that we are looking
towards Paris rather than towards the
German universities.
PROGRESS IN FOOTBALL.
The Week’s Practice Shows Improve-=
ment—Defense Still Poor.
The week of football practice which
ended with the game with Bates College
last Saturday, was one of general pro-
gress, and encouragement. The large
squad of 75 men has been gone over
with a fine-toothed comb and the result
is a cottple of good stiff first and second
elevens with a third and fourth which
are at work every day in the educating
and refining process.
It can be fairly said that Yale is keep-
ing abreast of the season in her develop-.
ment of an eleven. Her green line men
are learning how to hold, and her green
backs know more about the game and
are able to put their knowledge into
operation. This has come about through
hard, steady coaching by Mr. Rodgers,
Mr. Bull, and Captain McBride, and
helpful assistance from Messrs. Corbin,
Butterworth, G. T. Adee and Murphy.
The team is, of course, very far from
where it must be this time next month in
all departments of play.. In the Bates
game, a known weakness in defense was
strongly brought out, when the oppos-
ing backs made thirty-five through
the line without much trouble. It is
-no interference.
true, the gains were made by strong,
quick men, but they should have been
stopped in half that distance. When the
Bates advance was stopped, however, it
didn’t begin again to any considerable
extent, and when Yale took the ball her
strength in the running game was very
marked. |
Those who saw that game, concluded
that the line must do heroic work be-
tween now and Oct. 21, the date of the
Wisconsin game, or the Westerners will
find an open door through it. |
In both the Trinity and Bates games
-Yale’s kicking was consistently good and
the backs handled the ball cleanly.
Sharpe is beginning to put his punts
about where he wants them and his long
high drives straight down the side lines
and close to them, give a reasonable hope
that Yale will hold her own in a kicking
game. The physical condition of the
men is excellent and although there has
been much hard practice, there is no
hospital list.
Yale, 46; Trinity, 0.
Yale defeated the eleven of Trinity on
Yale Field, Wednesday, Oct. 4, by the
score of 46 to 0, the largest that a Yale
team has put to its credit in recent
years. Trinity’s line was very light
however, and was unable to hold the
heavy smashes of Sharpe, Adams, and
Kiefer. When her backs did have the
ball they were unable to advance it, as
they were not strong enough to win
their way alone, and they had practically
The wonder is, then,
that Yale’s score was not larger than
46 points.
About 800 spectators saw Brown of
Yale kick-off at 3.15, to Bellamy. The
latter brought the ball back 15 yards
very neatly, but in the next plav fum-
bled it to Yale. Kiefer, Sharpe, Francis
and Dupee carried it over in plunges
through Trinity’s right wing. Brown
missed the goal. After two exchanges
of punts by which Yale was the great
gainer, chiefly through the skill of
Sharpe. it was Yale’s ball at the middle
of the field, and in two minutes she had
scored again, Sharpe making a run
of 30 yards around the left end to the
touchdown. Dupee made the third
touchdown after Stillman. Sharpe and
Kiefer had brought the ball 50 yards
in five plays. Trinity, evidently in poor
physical condition, was wearing out
fast, and before the first half ended Yale
had put two more touchdowns to her
credit. The score, then, was 29 to 0,
Brown having missed an easy goal.
The second half found an almost en-
tirely new team for Yale, but they
started off with exnress train speed and
had a touchdown in three minutes, a
second in five minutes more and seven-
teen seconds before the end of the game
still another one. Adams did particu-
larly clever work. The playing in both
halfs was sharp and clean. The line-up:

this policy, for there has not
been much noise made about it.
But it is very much to be

to say so, that you ever consid-

attractive points in the way of
both investment and insurance.
