A man owes his first duty to himself, and that is to be gentle in his acts and moderate in his judgements.

Thus does he conserve his strength'over against the time when it i s most needed, and stands ready to seize 9 I9 opportunity when it comes his way.,

Off to Rutgers!

H

AVE you ever been-down to the banks of the old Raritan ?

Well, the College as a body is going down on Saturday, November 17, and you will be very much out of it if you are not along. Did you ever feel the gloom of being in Hoboken all alone ? don't try it-awful-come along with us. You, Fresh- man ! here is your chance to get acquainted with fellows, both ' in and out of your class, to learn our songs, and become filled with the real Stevens spirit. You, Sophomore ! you who did not go down last year, get the money together somehow-don't let the Freshmen or upper classmen outnumber you-.

The team is going to show Rutgers how to play football.

The College is going to show what great spirit we have up here.

Come along, and help our cheering section drown the Insty voices from "the college on the hill. " You will have a corking good ,< time-we are going down in special cars, with a band to supply the tunes and liven things up a bit. And, when our team gets thru with the Rutgers eleven, there will be "a wailing and gnaafci n g of teeth" in Brunswick town.

Do you realize that it is only one week from now that we play our last and hardest fought battle of the season ? It's only a small expense to go down to New Brunswick, so save up your money next week and be on hand when the crowd leaves Jersey City. Now is the time to show your college spirit.' Remember, , it is by taking an active part in college affairs, by doing work , yourself, or cheering others on, that the love for the Alma Mater , grows stronger. I t is these' games, these rushes, these smokers, these jolly trips, that you will look back upon with pleasure, when you are a graduate. And with how much more pride and ' satisfaction can you recall your college days if you but feel that you did your part in helping on the name of Stevens-in fighfing for your Alma Mater. ' Come ! help cheer the 'Varsity on to victory; for @tory. .,-A'- ' , ' 3 :. . 1 -%&

we'll surely have. Every man on the team is going to strive his best for it and every man on the bleachers is going to shout his hardest to- help win glory. We have the team to do the work and what we must do is to take enough spirit and enthusiasm down with us to carry it on to victory.

Dienst, the cheer leader, will make arrangements for special cars, etc. Watch the bulletin board for announcements.

A Musical Clubs Association.

In accord with the general reorganization which has of late been in progress at Stevens, the musical clubs have now taken a step in the right direction. At an organization meeting, held Monday, Oct. 29, the Stevens Institute Musical Clubs Association unanimously adopted its constitution. The strong interest which is being taken in the clubs this year was shown by the fact that, altho a number of the Seniors and Juniors were unavoidably kept away, more than thirty men were present at the meeting. Several of the more important points caused general discussion ; but, after these had been decided, the constitution was accepted unanimously as read.

The next meeting of the Association will be held on Monday, Nov. 19, in Prof. Denton's room, at which time a president and secretary will be elected to serve the remainder of the present season ; the manager of the clubs will act as treasurer.

The following paragraphs are quoted from the Constitution : ' T h e object of the Association shall be to conduct the affairs of the musical clubs for the best interests of their members and the Institute at large."

The president shall be taken from anlong the leaders or presidents of the different clubs ; any member of the Association is eligible for the office of secretary ; the manager of the clubs shall1be the treasurer.

1 0 A member of the faculty shall be chosen, who will be custodian of the funds, audit the accounts of the Association at the close of each season, and see that same are properly published.

In connection with, and at the same time of, the annual election of officers, the Association shall elect an assistant manager from the Junior Class.

The assistant manager shall each year succeed the manager of the previous year. ' ' The manager is at "liberty to appoint from the Sophomore Class a second assistant manager if he so desires, but the holder of this office is not necessarily in line to succeed as manager."

The Smoker.

The annual smoker, given under the auspices of the Musical Clubs, will be held at Odd Fellows Ha'll on Friday, December 7.

This is one of the college functions at which the student body can gather and spend an enjoyable evening.

The custom of holding this annual smoker should be kept up, as it increases interest in college affairs ; and, if possible, it should be made the occasion for yearly wrestling matches between members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes. ' The management would like to arrange for two or threebouts between members of the two classes named, and wo like to have volunteers to start the custom this year. Here your chance, Freshmen.

STEVENS 6-N. Y. U. 0.

New York University was defeated on Saturday, October 27, 6-0. I t was the first victory of the season. The weather conditions were almost perfect for a football game, altho the wind was a little too brisk for accurate punting. The men who went up to Morris Heights-to cheer on the 'Varsity were almost as numerous as the supporters of the violet, which goes a long way to prove that there is college spirit at Stevens and of. the proper quality.

The cheering was excellent and showed the good effect of cheer rehearsals. The game itself was very fast and remarkably free from penalties. Many features of the new game were employed ^y both sides.

Roberts started the game by kicking- off to New York University, the ball rolling to the one-half yard line. N. Y. U. punted out, and altho the ball was blocked, it was at once recovered. After two unsuccessful attempts to gain the required distance, another punt was tried, and Stevens obtained the ball on the eighteen yard line. Roberts went around the end for a good-sized gain, and the ball was now within a few yards of a touchdown. After two unsuccessful attempts to gain, Roberts again tried the quarterback run and succeeded in landing the pigskin behind the goal-posts. The goal was kicked.

Roberts kicked off to N. Y. U., and the ball was run back fifteen yards. Unable to gain more ground, the ball changed hands on the fifty yard line. Stevens punted and again held for downs. AS before, the ball was at once regained, but N. Y. U. was again unable to get the required distance. On the kick the ball hit one of the N. Y. U. men before touching the ground, and our opponents were penalized. The next play resulted in a considerable gain, then the 'Varsity held and Brown punted to Knoblock. An exchange of punts followed.

Stevens tried a forward pass, but the pigskin was blocked, and a New York man fell on it. The opponents.netted fifteen yards on a quarterback run, but they were soon forced to punt to Knoblock, and Stevens again had the ball. After being held for no gain, Van Syckle was put thru for twelve yards and then Roberts punted down the field. Unable to make their distance, N. Y. U. punted to Roberts. On a blocked punt, a New York man got away with the ball, but Roberts tackled him in time, saving a touchdown. N. Y. U. made ten yards on a forward pass and was drawing close to the goal lihe, when time was calle Score at end of first half-Stevens 6. N. Y. U. 0 .

On the kick off, Stevens received the ball on the twenty yard line. Thayer was thrown back for a loss, but N. Y. U. was penalized ten yards for an off-side play. Van Syckle was then put thru for eight yards, but the ball was finally lost on do?

ward pass. A quarterback run was tried and resulted in first down. After being held for no gain, Van Syckle made five yards thru the line. The ball was then punted to N. Y. U. on the forty yard line. The home team made first down in three plays and was then forced to punt. The ball was immediately booted back, and New York made another first down, but on an attempted forward"pass,considerable ground was lost, and Stevens soon after got the ball on downs. The 'Varsity was then penalized for holding and after a try at the line, punted to N. Y. U* The ball again changed hands on a fumble. Tackled for a loss, Roberts was forced to punt. The ball was blocked, but recovered, and then Hendricks was put thru for a good gain. Stevens punted, a mix-up ensued, and Thayer fell on the ball on New York's four yard line. Roberts tried a quarterback run, but was tackled for a bad loss. A fumble resulted on the next play, and the ball changed hands. N. Y. U. then punted to Roberts, who immediately returned the pigskin. N. Y , U. was held for no gain, and again was forced to punt. Stevens was held for no gain, but on the next play made five yards. Time'was called with the score-Stevens 6, N. Y. U. 0.

STBVENS 23-C. C. N. Y. 0.

Owing to the cancellation of the Pratt game, one was arranged for Saturday with the College of the City of New York.

Apparently surprised by the good stand made by the visitors, the 'Varsity, in the first part, did not play as good a game as was expected. Altho the goal was at no time in serious danger of , being crossed, one of the opponents managed to break thru for a long run, and was only stopped after he had made about forty , . yards. Five times in the first half, Stevens was within striking . distance of a touchdown, but each time, largely due to fumbles .> and penalties imposed, the opportunity of scoring was lost'. The first touchdown of the game was the result of a fumble, as Cowen-' hoven fell on the ball when it was dropped. Jt is hoped that the. L - c^ ,

A Knock &at Pratt.

As an explanation of the cancellation of the football game with Pratt Institute, the following is clipped from the New York S u n of October 27 :"Pratt Institute, beaten by both the Yale and Princeton freshmen this year, has dropped football. The game scheduled with Hotchkiss School for to-day will be played and the rest of the schedule dropped. Yes, we have dropped football. We find that the game has been brutalized to such an extent that a player has to be practically a prizefighter to endure the knocks,' said Dr. Voorhees, physical instructor. The open play with sturdy ends ready for a tackle on any portion of the body is a great menance. Pratt Institute has been playing the various freshmen teams of the colleges, and heretofore has had an even chance. But this year freshmen players are barred from the varsity teams with the result that big, husky and experienced gridiron giants form the freshmen teams.'

"It is bard to please everybody. There was clamor for more open play last fall and winter, and now that more open play has been provided, that are those who find fault with it. I t is generally conceded that the game is much less brutal than last year. Less has been heard about accidents, but of course there will continue to be accidents. Football is still a hard game. As to 'open play with sturdy ends ready for a tackle on any part of the body,' the new rules forbid tackling below the knees."

Athletic Association Meeting'.

President Norris, at a meeting of the Athletic Association on Wednesday of last week, outlined a plan for the election of officers in connection with the Association, which he thought would prove a remedy for the present unsatisfactory method.

H e suggested that at elections hereafter nominations be made some time before the actual balloting takes place. A convenient polling-place can then be provided where the voters can deposit their ballots individually, and the general confusion which prevails under present conditions be avoided. The plan was received with general favor and was adopted.

Upon the suggestion of Meeker '07, a motion was made t o amend the constitution to the effect that lacrosse and baseball managers be allowed to wear their "S" from the beginning of the playing season. Roberts '08 moved that an amendment be made to provide for the awarding of numerals to the participants in inter-class contests without the restriction that two outside'' games be played. Both of these motions were laid over to be acted on at the next meeting.

The vote for assistant cheer leader resulted as follows: Hamilton '08 (28), Halm '08 (24), Nassoit '08 (15).

Dr. Andrew Fleming West, of Princeton, has been formally invited to accept the presidency of the Institute of Technology as the successor of President Prichett.

THE STUTE

The Inter-Class Games.

1910 was a victor in the inter-class games on Wednesday, winning three of the five contests. Meigs '10 took the cane from Schoch '09 in the lightweight, Heller '10 was victorious over Stockton '09, and in the heavyweight Nyland '09 proved too much for Dryer '10. The tug-of-war was won by 1909, while tlie first year men were successful in the tie-up, the score being 27 to 23. A full account will be given in the next issue.

Tennis Tournament.

The tennis tournament is now completed, Berrian and Butler winning the final match from Hagan and Hanmer. The winujng team will receive medals and the title of "college chainpious. " The results of the last two rounds were : Third round-Hagan and Hanmer defeated Ridgeway and Watts, 6-0, 7-5. Berrian and Butler defeated Dunbar and Haskins, 6-4, 7-5.

Final round-Berrian and Butler defeated Hagan and Hanmer, 6-0, 6-1.

Senior inspection Trip.

The Senior Class made the first inspection trip on Thursday and Friday of last week. Under the direction of Prof. Ganz, tlie Fourteenth Street Power House was visited and thoroly inspected. The men were able to understand and appreciate practically all the machines in the plant, which state of affairs was largely due to the coaching received before the visit.

Tlie switch-board gallery appeared to be( i the most popular place, altho a few apparently rather liked to watch the wheels go round" in the engine room, and from there take side trips to the boilers and the mechanical stokers. An exhibition was given of the method of starting the synchronous motors used to drive the Brush arc generators and was greatly enjoyed by those present. By removing the cover to the regulating device used on this machine the working parts were exposed and explained.

This is an extremely clever arrangement used to keep the current constant and to avoid sparking.

I t is understood that plans are under way to have more of these short trips under the auspices of the Electrical Department.

One in the near future is to include the large Waterside and Fifty-ninth Street Power Stations. The men who expect to go on the long inspection trip would do well to take them in, a is commonly reported that the ,wc-l* *C " o ~ ~ : -- 9 7 -,-.+Loand preliminary training is necesi caw7

Editorial.

T h e Link of 1906 has wound up its accounts with a balance of over $250 on the credit side of the account-the best financial showing the year-book has ever made. This seems to us to prove beyond doubt the wisdom of the change in the mode of publication brought about thru the efforts of the class which stood sponsor for last year's annual. Of its literary and artistic success, there is no disputant, and the excellent financial statement completes the evidence in favor of the opinion that the Junior Class is fully capable of assuming entire responsibility for its publication.

The disposition of the surplus is a point not provided for i n . he newly adopted constitution, and, at this writing, there seems likely to be considerable difference of opinion as to what end the balance shall be put. The Junior Class stands liable for any de ficit which may be incurred in gettiug out The L i n k and is therefore entitled to dispose of the profit in whatever way it sees fit.

I t would not be wise, we think, to turn this money into the class treasury, thereby giving rise to the report that the publication of the year-book is a money making venture, nor to create a fund upon which future Link boards may draw, in this manner discouraging individual effort on the part of those in charge of succeeding annuals. Far better is the suggestion made by the retiring board that the surplus be put to some useful purpose, at the same timeserving as a memorial to the efforts of the board and of the class behind it.

The active co-operation of the students is needed for the protection and preservation of the new athletic field. The tender sod has already been considerably damaged by Hoboken youngsters. w h o . on Snnclavs esneciallv mabe the field

THESTUTE

i-i

Upon request of Pres. Humphreys, ,Chief of Police Hayes has notified his officers to keep an eye on the grounds. This will not suffice to end the trouble, however, and every one should ta%e a hand in stopping this trespassing on our property.

The attention of THESTUTEhas been called to the disgraceful appearance which the front steps of the main building often present owing to the waste-paper and other refuse thrown there.

This condition would seem to be the result of lack of thought on the part of the student body rather than deliberate action, and a comment of this character should be sufficient to cause an improvenlent in this respect.

In order to try out thoroly the candidates for next year's

STUTE board,it is necessary that those aspiring to this work let us know of the fact as soon as possible. We desire to secure as our successors the men most fitted for the positions, and the selections will be made wholly with regard to ability for this line of work.

An apology is due our alumni subscribers for the delay occasioned in the delivery of the last two issues of, the paper. An investigation is being made to determine where the fault lies, and the matter will be rectified as soon as possible.

Faculty and Institute Notes.

Copy is being prepared for the 1907-1908 catalogue, to be . issued in January.

Prof. and Mrs. Stillman last week celebrated their twentyfifth wedding anniversary.

Prof, Deiniel has assumed his duties as Instructor in Mathematics to the Freshman Class.

A comparative test of dry cells for automobile ignition is being conducted in the Electrical Laboratory.

Twenty-seven students have enrolled in the optional class in Spanish, which meets with Prof. Kroeh on Mondays and Thursdays.

The Morton Laboratory has been equipped with a compressed air blower for the blast lamps, formerly fed by foot bellows.

There has also been installed a distilled water apparatus having a capacity of ten gallons per hour.

Prof. Ganz delivered an address last evening at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, on "The Physical Meaning of Power Factor and the Significance of a Power Factor Less Than Unity Without Phase Difference."

The executive committee of the Alumni Association is at Ă&#x201A;ÂĽwordevising plans for the liquidation of the deficit of nearly 0 0 which still remains upon the Morton Laboratory. A sub-committee has been appointed to confer with Pres, Hump h r e y ~in this regard.

There are now on exhibition on the bulletin board of the West drawing room a number of isometric drawings of niachinesaw gearing, the work of Mr. Walter H. Lange, one of last year's graduates. These designs are well executed, and show the practical application of perspective work to machine drawings.

A new roster went into effect Monday. Prof. Webb will now confine his work to the Senior Class, and Prof. Gunther will teach the mathematics of the Junior and Sophon~oreClasses.

Prof. Martin's work now includes instruction in mechanics to the Junior and Sophomore Classes, while both first year mathematics and mechanics will b6 taught

by Prof. Deimel.

---Recent additions to the equipment of the Carnegie Laboratory include a Mahler combustiofa bomb, together with complete apparatus for its use, and a Saybolt viscosimeter. There is also expected shortly a Worthington surface condenser, equipped with a Blake rotative, dry vacuum pump and a Worthington duplex, vacuum pump.

Mr. John W. Lieb, Jr. '80 has been secured as one of the special lecturers to the Senior Class. Mr. Lieb will talk on ' New Developgients in Electric Illumination." Thru Mr. Lieb, Prof. Ganz has secured one of the new tungsten lamps, for use in experiments before his classes. These lamps give from two to three times the light for a given expenditure of energy as the or^w-qdeq + dinary incandescent. fsqf;,' A rule has recently gone into effect in the ~ e ~ a % ~ i eoir f t Drawing, applying to the two lower classes, to the effect that no student is permitted to work in the draughting room except at scheduled periods. It is thought that heretofore an injustice has been done those who have completed a satisfactory amount of work during the regular periods yet could not afford to put in extra time. I t is hoped by means of this new rule to make a fairer adjustment of the time allotted for the various exercises.

Prep Notes. *

[Mr. W. A. Boyd has been appointed the representative of THE STUTEin the Prep. All business, of whatever nature, should be transacted thru him.-EDITOR.] Ă&#x201A;

Because a Prep dance has been a custom and each one seems to have been more successful than the last, the Senior Class seems to have an idea that this dance develops without much individual effort. Committees have been appointed. Where are they ? The only committee that has done any work has nothing to do with the dance. I t is too much to expect that two or three can do all the work, and neither will they. Unless something is W. A. BOYD. done soon, there will be no dance.

Accompanied by the largest following that Stevens Prep has ever turned out for an out-of-town football game, the football squad went to Montclair on Friday, Oct. 26, to line up against the High School in the first game of the New Jersey Interscholastic League series. T h e field was very muddy in spots and not at all conducive to fast football. T h e game had hardly started before the Prep team realized that Montclair was a much harder proposition than had been anticipated. The Preps have one solace-the ball was in hfontclair's territory most of the time.

The team would go right thru to the opponents' five yard line only to lose the ball on downsor a fumble. Montclair would punt out, only to be pushed back again to regain the ball under the same circumstances as before. The first half closed with the score 0 to 0.

I n the second period, there was nothing sensational except a quarterback run, for what was at first 'thought to be a t down. This is one of the Preps' best plays, and in thi worked beautifully. Mann took the ball and succeeded in elnding the whole Montclair team, placing the ball right behind the posts. The score was not allowed, however, as one of our men had made an unfair tackle. Time was called with the score 0-0.

The second League game was played at Hoboken last Friday in the presence of the largest crowd that a game has attracted in some years. Owing to careful forethought and preliminary arrangements, the field was kept entirely clear. Those on the stands had at all times an unobstructed view of the whole field.

The opponent was the East Orange team, which is considered the best in the League.

The game was an exciting one from start to finish. Gooa football was the only thing to be seen. I t is rather hard to pick anything sensational out of an 0-0 game, but when, in the second half, E. 0, forced the ball down to within two feet of our goal, and the line held them for downs-well, i t was playing football some ! Coach Saunders, at least, wasn't mad.

With such a showing as that against East Orange, number should accompany the team to Stamford, on Sa - The game is with Betts Academy, and always proves to be one. I t may be said that we have a better chance than . beating them this year. I t is to be hoped that someone w the matter in' hand, arrange to get tickets,' and let ei know how to get there. r
