The Football Season.

HE grandstands will be filled no more this season. The cleaners have picked up the crumpled score cards, old ribbons, battered derbies and shattered canes for the last time.

Some warriors are trying to swap their grimy moleskins for good brier pipes, while others are using their suits of armor as mural ilecorations. The speculators are back on Broadway again, teaching the Philistines some new tricks lately learned in academic quarters. In brief, the football season of 1907 is over-all except theorizing. Yale has again secured her expected primacy iii the Eaht, whereby the money stringency has ceased disturbing New Haven. Out West, Coach Yost is drawing diagrams to prove that Peimsy did not drub the Michigan team, while a thick book is being written by the Ithacans entitled, "How it Happened." The students liere, there, and everywhere, are drifting back to their studies, but football is still uppermost in campus conversations. What will be said in the impending conferences on the ganie is quite impossible to guess; the friends of the sport will be jubilant and its foes wrathy, and many old arguments and observations will be revived. The statistics about the season's games show.clearly that the football player will not have to join the Western Federation of Miners and take up professional homicide to prove that he is no n~ollycoddle. To make the autumnal days merrier, eleven players have been killed and ninety-nine seriously injured. This would indeed be a formidable argument against the game but for the fact that the large majority o f the serious accidents occurred among the ranks of the greenhorns", i n ~ n ~ a t uplayers re and those who have not adopted the new rules. I n discussing the propriety of the game this should be borne in mind. FootbaJl, like long distance swimming and running, ballooning, automobile racing and many other sports, can be safely indulged in only by men of peculiar strength, stamina, build and alertness. Football should not be discredited by the injuries incurred by youths whom perhaps any rational physical director would order off the gridiron at first sight. I n the distribution of the injuries between colleges and preparatory

schools, this year's report resembles all the previous ones. The latter, as usual, have suffered far more than the former; this naturally suggests the advisability of a more stringent set of rules for the younger players, whose frailer bones and lower power of endurance cannot rise to the achievements of the older college men. Football theorizers will undoubtedly consider this proposition unworthy of notice, but they cannot fail to observe that there has been a strange lapse in anti-football agitation ; even Pres. Butler is relenting and perhaps next year Columbia will once more enjoy the pleasures of being defeated in football by every other college. Can it be that the foes of the game are becoming impressed by the strength of public opinion as revealed by the attendance a t all the important contests this fall ?

In summarizing our season here at Stevens, it would be exaggeration or perhaps prevarication to append the word success.

We failed in our avowed purpose of defeating both Rutgers and N. Y. U., and a glance at the final summary, forces us to think of a less glorious word. The season was by no means an absolute failure; the victories over our old time opponents, Johns Hopkins and Rensselaer, preclude such a description.

It has always been the same with Stevens. In both lacrosse and football, we open with rosy prospects ; we defeat, say, C. C. N. Y. by fiom 10 to 40 points; later, however, we suffer a defeat in a critical game and soon another, until finally, at the end of the season, we fondly fall back on consolation as a balm for our depressed spirits. We complain that we have abominable luck, which is especially prevalent in onr most important games.

We attribute our defeat a t New Brunswick to pure "Hard Luck," and justly perhaps. We growl that we have had poor material.

Our team averaged under 160 Ibs., a serious handicap to a college team, and some of last year's 'Varsity men were unable to play.

All this is the natural wail of the defeated, and unsportsmanlike.

Let us rather choose the proper method, by mentally deciding now that "it won't happen again" and by answering Capt.

Hendrick's call for men next year.

Hockey.

On Tuesday, December 10, a few members of the Junior Class who were desirous of organizing a hockey team called a meeting of all those interested. The meeting was called to order

by Crosby '09, who announced the purpose and stated that the Institute authorities were going to construct a skating rink on the new field. The rink, which is now nearly complete, is 150x 115 ft. and occupies the ground set aside for the tennis courts at the south end of the field. A motion was made and passed that a Stevens Hockey Club be organized and temporary officers be , elected. Crosby '09, was elected president; Stewart '09, manager and Little '09, secretary. I t was moved that a committee i of five be appointed by the president to take charge of the construetion and Hamilton, O'Connor, Drinkwater, Utz and Meie-s were appointed.

NEW FOOTBALL CAPTAIN. On Wednesday, December 11, the 'Varsity football team elected Wallace M . Hendrick next year's captain. The new captain has appointed Winthrop Hearsey as manager.

American football has been taken up by Russian college students, evidently with the cunning design of picking off the -Ex. grand dukes in their youth. ,

W h y is a Duck?

Why is each issue of THESTUTE heralded by a duck-not an ordinary, foolish, waddling duck to be sure, for the STUTE duck is of a high order of intelligence-but why should a duck do the duty, anyhow? Would not a lion, as symbolical of strength, or an owl, as symbolical of wisdom be better suited for the task? No-the duck has come to stay.

But why the duck ?

Well, here is the story of the duck : Certain members of the Class of 1905 felt that Stevens was badly in need of a student paper, and instead of grumbling and kicking about existing conditions, they cast their eyes about for the men they thought best fitted to carry out the project, and charged them with the task of establishing a paper. Thus four seniors had to evolve something out of nothing.

The paper was scheduled to eater its life of usefulness shortly after the opening of college in September 1904. The first question was how to introduce the paper appropriately. The problem was seriously debated by the Board, but in vain, for no good plan suggested itself.

Finally, as the day of appearance drew near, the editor directed one of his co-workers, who had a talent for drawing, to sketch something, and place it on the bulletin board-something that would grow !

The artist looked rather blank at this ; then as a mere suggestion, the editor repeated Something that will grow, as we expect THESTUTE to grow-oh, say a duck ! " The suggestion was well taken and the artist-editor retired to make a careful study of duck life. I n those days the naturefakir was unknown.

Before long an egg was laid on the bulletin board to arouse curiosity, and in due course of time that egg hatched forth the finest duckling ever seen in Hoboken. That duck has since proved himself to be of no mean personality ; and as weeks and months and years haye rolled on, he has shown himself to be a many-sided duck, having his finger (or analogous men1ber ) in everything that is worth while.

Now that the duck's past history has been narrated, it is safe to say that lie will live to a ripe old age, probably much in excess of the average life of a duck.

Mr. Duck is working overtime this year to help the "old Mill" r n n properly, and he did not shirk his duty at the Rutgers game.

Fellows, don't you think he deserves your backing?

An honest miller separates the wheat from the chaff-and -Ex. converts the latter into breakfast food.

Acting President Noyes, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in his annual report to the Corporation, makes mention of the following : T h e tuition fee (now $250.00) should be less, or at least there should be a reduced rate for first year men ; there is special need for student dormitories.

Lehigh started fall lacrosse practice on Saturday, December 7, with a squad of nineteen men.

In the future Iowa will have a push ball contest in place of the annual rushes.

Student spirit in the University of Missouri is certainly booming. The following clipping from the I?zdepen.dent gives an idea of the way in which needed bleachers were built : The net cost of the bleachers which are to be dedicated today is $1,186. One thousand one hundred and sixty-four dollars worth of lumber was used, and the nails cost $22-$10 worth being given free, however. T h e capacity of the bleachers is 3,000. They were built in two and one-half days, over a hundred engineers acting as carpenters. A big crowd of Agricultural students brought up the rocks and posts. By Friday noon $831.00 had been subscribed by students, professors and townspeople, and indications are that the whole bill will be paid off by the middle of next EXCHANGE. Graduate Manager Henry S . Thompson, of the Athletic Association, has issued a statement to the effect that more than

Columbia 1910 won from the freshmen in the interclass football game. The Spectator, in an editorial says : Yesterday afternoon Columbia saw the return of the greatest of all American games. The event will leave a lasting in~pressionon everyone's mind, for it proved conclusively that when we said we want football,' in spite of all the jeering, we were in earnest." i t

From a report recently published by the committee on employment for students a t Columbia University, over $110,000 was earned by students during the college year 1906-1907. This report includes only the earnings reported to the committee, so no doubt the total earnings were in excess of this amount.

Princeton is to have a new fire-proof physical laboratory.

The building will be of ornamental brick, with granite trimmings, and will cost $350,000.

Contest Department.

college opens after the Christmas vacation, Monday, January I t might be well here to explain why we are running thes contests. THESTUTE is nominally published by the undergraduates, but actually by four men. I t should be published, in fact as well as in name, by the undergraduates ; but when the student body contribute but little or nothing, there is no choice for the editors but to do all the work themselves.

The object of these contests then is to stimulate student interest in the composition of the paper, and we think it a proper way to invest some of the anticipated profits in the betterment of the paper itself. W e want every student to contribute some of his particular talent towards making THESTUTE more interesting. We fully realize that there are times when we are all too busy to devote any time to such things; but the main reason why appeals for contributions are not more successful is because but very few realize that they have any talent along these lines.

Very often a man cannot judge his own ability as well as others can, and sometimes one is too modest to contribute anything.

All these impressions are mistakes ; every student should try his hand at doing something for his college paper, remembering that the Board tries to judge impartially.

A word as to how prizes are awarded. The identity of th author is unknown to the Board in every case, so partiality can not enter into the judging.

These contests have been poorly supported so far. We think the idea a good one, so again we say contribute something. THE STUTEBoard has thought up three ideas for contests so far and no suggestions have been received to date. There are about 450 students, 4 members on THESTUTE Board, 3 ideas of THESTUTE Board, 0 ideas of the student body. T h e resulting proportion is radically wrong : 450 : 4 :: 0 : 3

Editorial.

The next issue of THESTUTE will appear January 10.

Comparison of statistics shows that Stevens requires of its students a smaller total number of working hours than do certain other colleges which give courses parallel to ours. The difference is of course made up a t these places thru a Saturday roster covering six days instead of five in every Sessions. seven. Stevens has done good work in the past and lias built up in the outside world a reputation which must be upheld. As conditions change and competition grows more keen, the question naturally arises- can we stand still without being pushed back ? " All this does not necessarily mean that we must hereafter work on Saturdays, but it is certainly a subject worth considering. If other institutions do it, can we afford not to? Besides the problem of finding time for more roster hours, there is the really more important one of increasing the efficiency of the number already available-and the Saturday morning session 1s also one answer to this. Educators generally agree that nlor11ing recitations are more effective than afternoon. However, trust that the committee of the faculty having this matter charge may find a solution which will give equal results without the necessity of changing- our present system.

The advantages of a Saturday holiday it is needless to enum r a t e here ; the inconveniences incident to giving u p the dayor a portion of it-to college attendance are also apparent. Yet if, after careful consideration and con~parison,it is found necesiI

sary for the good of the college to make the change, every man should stand ready to sacrifice his own convenience and pleasure.

No decision has as yet been reached and the question is still open.

Let us be not too hasty in condemning a thing of which we may know peihaps but little, or at which we are tempted to look merely from a selfish or-shall we say-lazy viewpoint.

Each year is brought up the question of disbursement of The Link surplus. Useless as most constitutions seem just now -so far as governing the actions of those whom they are supposed to guide-it might be well to have definitely Link stated whether the editorial board or the class has Surplus. the power to disburse the money. A possible deficit is taken care of by making the class responsible, but nothing is said of the surplus. We would suggest this to the "Constitution Revision Committee" of the Junior Class as a topic for consideration.

It1 the next issue of THESTUTE we hope to publish a coma favor by plete list of theses. Every senior will do THESTUTE giving to it as soon as possible the complete title of his thesis and the names of the men who will work with him.

Faculty and Institute Notes.

Prof. Kroeh's continued illness will prevent him from returning until after the holidays.

Prof. Ganz has been retained as an expert in the suit of Driver-Harris Wire Co. against Wilbur B. Driver held before Vice-Chancellor Pitney of -Newark.

Many new electrical appliances, ordered by Prof. Ganz on his recent trip to Europe, have arrived. Particularly interesting among them is a small bismuth spiral used for measuring directly the strength of a magnetic field by its change of resistance, and a sensitive galvanometer reading arrangement.

Several of the new metallic filament lamps, of tungsten, 0smium and zkkon, have arrived from Germany. These lamps, especially the tungsten, are now quite generally used in Europe.

The tungsten lamp gives 50 candle power for the same current that would supply an ordinary 16 c. p. carbon lamp.

I n order to avoid errors and allow time for corrections, the Link Board requests that Seniors send to Terwilliger, '09, before January 1 a list of the offices and honors which they wish to appear in the Link under the regular class roll. Additions t~ these lists may be made until February 1, but the lists themselves should be handed in as soon as possible.

The total registration of readers and visitors during Novem. her was 2,107, the largest number in one day being 158. , I t is a pleasure to note the gift of Prof. Martin's two volumes on "Mechanics" and Prof. Gunther's Integration.'' The Library is the place where it is expected books written by members of the faculty will be found, and it is hoped that all books written by them will find a place on the shelves for reference.

Grateful acknowledgement is here made for the gift of the "The Bolt" of 1888 received from Mr. M. E. Wolfe, '08.

Deutscher Club.

On December 11 the juniors eligible to "Der Deutsche Verein von 1909" met to organize the club. After a few prods Nyland was induced to preside at the meeting. The election of officers then took place and resulted in the election of : Nyland, president ; Butler, vice-president ; W , von Voigtlander, secretary ; Freygang, treasurer.

Engineering Society.

During the month of December a change was made in the calendar of regular meetings for the Engineering Society. Instead of the bi-weekly business meetings, a number of special sessions were held, at which general reviews of two first term senior subjects were given in lecture form by members of the society. After the intermediate term a regular series of talks and debates will be held.

Chess Club.

At the regular monthly meeting of the Chess Club for December, the following officers were elected for the ensuing Year: president, Jappe '09; vice-president, Butler '09; secretarytreasurer, Landesman '09. T h e executive committee is cornposed of Harlow '08, Hoexter '09, Wood '10, Shuldiner '11.

POETRY AND POULTRY. At Rutgers, a duck, As a token of luckA mascot for Red and GrayWas placed on the field And expected to yield A vict'ry for us that day.

Instead he turned round And sat on the ground And wiggled his downy white tail.

That duck was a Jonah, Pray who is the owner ?

He ought to be sent to the jail.

The seniors looked rather disconsolate after their electricity examination. But we have inside information that this exam. isn't a circumstance to what is going to happen to the juniors.

A professor, who ought to know, told us that next year the students had to know sonlething about electricity or they would not pass. Juniors, you have our sympathy-take our advicebeware.

The faculty of Minnesota University has practically decided to revert to the five day system of registration. ' I t is imani111ously the sentiment among the instructors that the six day plan is a failure. The chief reason seems to be that the students carry too many subjects and the good students overwork.

''Carbon " a good belt, and made with the same care IT1Ã as our other brands, but the material entering into its con- i structiou is less expensive. For light mill work and agri- } cultural purposes it is without an equal.
