Editor of The Shi/et ' DEAR Six :-For several weeks past rumors have been cir-

than through the excellence of its curriculum. Thus some colleges become associated with football, some with baseball, rowing or track athletics and since, so far as the academic course is concerned, there is little difference between several institutions, the thing which decides the choice of many a young man is the

If they will consider the matter from this point of view, doubtless their college spirit will prompt them to drop the agi-rn tation and unite with the rest of us in once more seeming t8 Stevens the honor which has not been hers since 1899Ăƒâ€˜th championship over Lehigh, Swarthmore and Johns Hopkim.

going with us. To-day is the &st day for registration. Beg or borrow the money, pay up and come with us.

Ever since the Seniors can remember-back in 1901~college spirit has been on the rise. I t took a big boom last year under Patterson '04 who did excellent work in the cheering line. He left his impression which is now bearing fruit. The whole college to New Brunswick!

College spirit and college athletics are things which when they go hand in hand may, and do, climb to great heights. Go out and cheer and sing for a team and somebody will make a touchdown. It's a natural sequence. After the touchdown College spirit goes up about 40 differentials. That's another natural sequence. And so on to victory.

You, as an individual, are an important factor in the making. up of results. To-morrow we are going on a trip which marks a new era in the work of Stevens Cheering Sections and you 'want to be with us because we are going to win. I say, we are going to win.

T H E STUTE

Columbia-Stevens

Game.

On Saturday, November 5th' the Varsity team played Columbia's second or substitute team at the American league Park, New York. The weather was just right for football and the play was snappy and spirited. The team played well, especially at the end of the second half, when Columbia was entirely unable to hold them. Columbia was saved from being scored upon only by the timely sounding of the whistle. A goodly number of Stevens men were out and the cheering was excellent.

To quote from the New York Times-' 'outweighing- the visiting team players full fifteen pounds to the man, the Blue and White contingent could get but two touchdowns and those only after the hardest kind of a struggle. The Hoboken team gave an excellent exhibition of snappy football. Considering that Columbia's team was practically made up of veteran players, such as Duden, Sedegwick and Armstrong, the result speaks poorly for the representatives of the Morningside Institution."

Stevens won the toss choosing the North goal. Armstrong kicked off to Cruthers, who ran the ball back 8 yds. to Stevens 35 yd. line. Stevens was held and forced to kick to Schultz, who ran the ball back to the Stevens 45 yd. line. A series of straight rushes brought the ball down to Stevens 3 yd. line, where Stevens recovered the ball on a fumble and punted out of danger. Columbia was held, a fine tackle behind the line being made by Turner, and forced t o t r y for a goal from the field. The try was unsuccessful and Roberts' free kick out and Pratt's tackle placed the ball on Columbia's 38 yd. line. A combination trick play lost ground for Columbia, but the distance was made on line rushes. Three delayed-pass plays netted 23 yds. for Columbia and slowly Stevens was forced back until Aigeltinger was pushed over for a touch-down. Armstrong punted out to McKenzie, but failed to kick the goal. Score, 5-0. Roberts kicked off for Stevens to Schultz who ran the ball back for 35 yds. Columbia punted, but while the ball was still in the air.

Time was called for the first half.

Roberts opened the second half by kicking off for Stevens.

In the first line-up the ball was fumbled and recovered by one of the Columbia backs, who was promptly tackled by Johnson, however, for a loss. Columbia was penalized 5 yds. for off-side play and was forced to kick. Roberts returned the kick. A series of rushes gained ground for Columbia and soon M c ~ e n z i e was pushed over for the second touch-down. The try for the goal by Armstrong was unsuccessful. Score, 10-0.

Schtilz kicked off for Columbia, sending the ball only 8 yds., however. A second trv was more successful. Pinckney around t the distance on a beautiful hurdle,. left end for 22 yds. ~ i a t for a first down by Buckley, ?5 yds. brought the ball tc

: w f ' S t e v e n s won the toss and chose the south goal.

First half: Pratt Institute fumbled the ball on h& 15-yard 1 line, and after several minutes of play Roberts carried the ball over for the first touchdown but failed at goal. Score 5-0Here Pratt braced up and Brunn made a touchdown and kicked i' goa.1. Score 5-6. Pratt kicked behind goal twice, so Steveas kicked to her opponents 15-yard line. Brunn did well here for his team, but the half ended with the hall on Pratt's 5 5 - y d - line.

Second half: Pratt made a bad kick off, and Pinkney, ably assisted by Mathews and Roberts, soon scored a second touchdown for Stevens. Roberts kicked goal. Score 11-6. Stevens kick was returned for about 5 yards. Pneuman was hurt and "delayedthe game for a short while. Pinkbey made a b a r n t

Stevens kicked, the ball hitting Pratt man and -rolling behind the line where Turner falling on the ball made the fourth touchdown.

and the music of a band a front of the State" on Wednesday afternoon, November 2nd, to see what was up. They were soon rewarded by the spectacle of a parade consisting of practically the entire student body with a band in the lead.

Following the band came the Seniors dressed in all sorts of fantastic costumes-aur grave, dignified Seniors had laid aside their dignity for the time being and were evidently enjoying- themselves; next in order came the Sophomores fully dressed for the occasion in overalls; following them came the Juniors without any special attractions in the way of dress; and last but not least came the Freshmen also attired in overalls.

The route followed was as follows: Up Hudson street to Sixth street, along Sixth -to River, d m Rivet to Kith,

While waiting for the judges to make the necessary mealatiom the afiaotincement was made that owing to the i n j a y weiv&d by Cownhoven, '07, in the Trinity game, it had hem decided to postpone the heavyweight contest until thfi night of the Smoker. One very comiaendable thing was noticed io thfe preliminary cheering*and that was an exchange of yells for ~&e opponent's mev. by the contesting' classes.

The lightweight Spree was held first, Walter reptesentiog "07 and Tfaayer '08. Bverything being in readiness the word Go" was given. The men did. not stay on their feet long, and the three minutes on the ground elapsed before either man had gained, the cane. The beginning of the second round was a repetition of the first, but while on the ground Thayer succeeded in getting the cane before the time limit, Tot&l time 6.45.

Next in order came the Middleweight Contest, which proved t o be easy for Utz '00 8 he wrested'the cane from Scheat '67 ia 1 tm~-ate~ and 31 seconds.

Next on the programme came the Tug-of-warin which. a£ class was represented by a team of twenty men. The Freshmen teaya was too strong for their opponents, a? from the first pull the rope went toward their side. At the end of the minute the center ribbon was fully five feet in '08's territory.

Lastly came the Tie-up. The two classes were lined tip about eighty -yards apart, each member having- been provided with two three-foot len hs of rope. At a pistol shot the$ d to tie each other up. A atan rushed together rod pr was "tied up" when his hands and feet were securely tied together so that he would be unable to move. The Sophoaiffires being' ootnumbered two to one wisely acted on the defasiw, and the result is very creditable to them. The final score was* 18 men of 'OS tied up and 34 of '07. I n this contest the u@ :lass men were employed to drag out the men as they were tied and to count them. This was the last contest of the day.

On November 4th the regular bi-weekly meeting of the gineering Society was held in the Carnegie laboratory Hall. .

The paper, presented by Mr. Branch '05, was on The Power .'

Stations of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit."

Mr. Branch told of the several stations which, interlinking over a network of wires, g formed the company's properties. H e covered the kind of en- -{ giues, alternators and direct current generators used in the several plants, and, more in detail, mentioned the troubles overcome, methods of p r a c t i c e ~ s u c has carrying over the peak in 1 the load by storage batteries, etc. He touched upon the introduction of turbines in these stations, and altogether, excited our interest in his past work.

A general discussion followed the paper, and Mr. Waldeck, 11

Lacrosse.

On November 3rd, Capt. Davis called the men interested in Lacrosse together and had a pretty plain talk with them on the practice question. The attendance at practice had not been entirely satisfactory and it was just as Davis said;-"~f there isn't going to be any more personal interest in the team we expect to have next Spring, we won't have any." The weather is getting colder but use every warm afternoon for a little stick practice.

Bring your stick to the Institute and throw around a ball at lunch-time.

The meeting of the Intercollegiate lacrosse league will be held in Philadelphia during the latter part of this month, and until after the conference there the dates of our league games cannot be officially announced, However, the management has practically concluded the arrangements for the Lehigh game, which will come about three weeks later than ever before. As soon as the dates of games with John Hopkins and Swarthmore have been decided upon, efforts will be made to secure games with the following teams, Crescent A. C. ; C. C. N. Y. ; Columbia ; Cornell ; Harvard ; Pennsylvania ; Greater N. Y,Irish A. A , , and Stevens Alumni.

The M u s i c a l Clubs* Up to the present time men have not applied for member-. ship in the orchestra in any such numbers as they ought to.

And the men who have applied, are not attending- rehearsals. A decided change will have to be shown very shortly, or the club cannot go on. The orchestra stands responsible for its proportioa of the numbers on the program, and to discharge this responsibility creditably requires practice. If the men will show up at rehearsals, we can have one of the best clubs of all. Let every man come out and try. Rehearsals are held every Monday afternoon in the Auditorium, at 4 o'clock. First concert, Dec. 2.

HEGEMAM, leader.

The future of the Mandolin Club as indicated by the attendance at rehearsals, etc., is very bright. A number of new men have come out in the last two weeks and are showing by their co-operation that we have the support of the Prep. as well as of the Institute. The fellows are practicing hard and have committed most of the music to memory. We hope for a continued steady improvement from now to the time of the Smoker.

The Glee Club is working hard and doing well. Of course, if everybody that can sing would come out to try for the club and would appear at every rehearsal, things would be perfect and the milennium would have arrived ; but really, there aren't men enough out and the attendance at rehearsals might be better.

11 As soon as school opened the veterans of last year's Football Team got together and started to mould the new material, much of which was comparatively green, into a strong team. Mr. Hendricson, a former Princeton man, was secured to coach the fellows, and in spite of the fact that school was dismissed fortyfive minutes later each day than last year, a large number turned out for practice. These boys deserve considerable credit, for many of them did not reach home till very late after practice. / The squad worked hard for the first few weeks and the result was the winning of two games against good teams. In the next two games we were beaten by weight. Then came the .practice game with 1907 which resulted in a tie. In this game the School would undoubtedly have won were it not for the absence of several of its best men. Hoboken High School and Pratt High School were easily defeated, each by the score of 17-0. The next game was with Newark Academy. The School ' was both outweighed and outplayed, so enough said. The last game of the season was with East Orange High. The visitors came down expecting to run up a terrible score but were much surprised and disappointed, as they were held down to 16 while the School scored 11points.

Though the season opened with Stevens in need of guards, ends, half-backs and a quarter, still by the time the latter games came off Coach Hendricson had developed some very good men for these positions. With the quarter-back and ends he has been especially successful. This year P. Smith again proved to be one of the pillars of the team, and his tackling and linebucking have gone far toward winning some of the School's victories. Excellent half-backs have been developed'in Blwchard, Groel, and Kilgour. Of these Groel and Kilg-our remain for next year's team. E. Braine is a very ~romisingcenter and has helped his team a lot.
