STUDENTS SHOULD BE ENTHUSIASTIC

Earlham Faculty Would See Therri Participate .in Athletics. FOOTBALL PLAYED EARLY. ONE OF FIRST FOOTBALL GAMES EVER PLAY ED "IN.. STAT E WAS AT EARLHAM IN ( 1888 OTHER SPORT RECORDS. V In writing to the Indianapolis News of athletics at Earlham college, Roland Mellett, staff correspondent of thatj paper, says: Enthusiasm In athletics is encouraged at Earlham college, that good old Quaker institution of learning that, for many decades, has occupied an important place in the Indiana field of higher education. It is the desire, however, that students show their spirit by participation, rather than demonstration. Efforts are made to hare every student, male and female, take part in athletics of some kind. Enough different branches are conducted to enable almost all to find something in an athletic way that Is salted to each of the 355 students, 175 of whom are boys. They are proud of their clean athletlo record at Earlham. They have always been proud of it and, judging by the past, they never will have cause to feel ashamed. Earlham has always stood for clean athletics, at the expense of winning teams, If necessary. Athletics Flourishing. Earlham athletics are now in a flourishing condition. All recognized branches of college sport, football, basketball, baseball, tennis and track and field work, are promoted. The college is well equipped athletically and altogether the conditions are all that could be expected at any secondary college. Plans have already been formed for a new gymnasium, and when that Is obtained the Earlham equipment will be second to that of few schools in the state in any class. Athletics are controlled by the Earlham Athletic association with a faculty athletic committee of four member the governing body. B. H. Graves is the graduate manager of all the teams. He has student assistants, selected from the various classes. F. C Vail is the athletic and physical director and the coach of the various teams. Physical work is required from all students. For the maintenance of ' athletics coupon books are sold to the students, to the residents of Richmond or to any who wishes to buy them. Earlham has never had an athletic student fee. Played Football Early. One of the first football games ever played in Indiana was at Earlham, in 1888, with the Miami eleven. Only . i iv v.. the strenuous sport rapidly became popular, and it has never been abandoned. In 1880 Prof. E. P. Trueblood who came to the college the preceding year, and who has always been at the hend of athletics, raided St1.7Y fnr a gym. The building is still used. Reid field was opened in 1889. Its grandstand ha a seating capacity of TOO, and it is surrounded by a cinder track, still banked high, from the old days of bicycle racing. Base ball and football are played on Reid field.' Ice skating and soccer football are popu- , ,. , modern dam built by the boys. During the winter months soccer football and Ice nolo erames are nlaved for the ben efit and pleasure of the exercise. The students are divided into two sections, known as the Yellows and Whites, and the rivalry between them is unusually keen. In addition cross-country runs are held three times a week. In this manner the Earlham runners get in shape for the spring outdoor track meets, in which they generally win high honors. The basketball team plays its games in the roller polo auditorium in Richmond and the contests draw big crowds. The college gym is adequate ball floor 40x60 feet and all necessary apparatus. Tennis Popular Sport. Tennis is one of the most popular of Earlham sports. There are six regular courts, and two for beginners, all in fine condition. Earlham now holds the state title in doubles, Beebe and Campbell being the title holders. The first tennis court was built by Professor Trueblood in 1S83. He is an all-round athlete of great versatility. He won the college championship at tennis, played half on the football eleven and was one of the best firstbasemen Earlham ever developed. He has also won prizes for excelling in golf and now keeps in good physical condition by playing that game. Professor Trueblood is a great friend of college sport. He was an enthusiastic player in his day, and he is an earnest friend of the athletes now. Fine Outdoor Tack. The out-door track, encircling Reid field, is said to be the finest for a college of the 6ize In the country. Earlham has always stood high in track events. One year seven Earlham track men competed in the state meet against bigger fields from Indiana, Purdue and other state schools, and carried , off the banner. There have been few bad years in track work and Earlham can always be counted on to be a contended in the IXA.L championship events. New track men are always belnj trained to take the place of the graduating stars. The Earlham student spirit runs high, the faculty ia enthusiastic and the Richmond support is strong. There Is no reason why Earlham athletics r"uld not succeed as they do.

SECOND HALF RALLY Makes Field Goal From Place ment and Touchdown Against Earlham. . MANY OPPORTUNITIES LOST EARLHAM MAKES MISPLAYS AT CRITICAL MOMENTSWHITE'S KICKING BEST EVER SEEN ON LOCAL FIELD. By Tort. DePauw, 10; Earlham, 0. Arousing the greatest admiration among their loyal supporters Dy tnej desperate defense and scrappy offense offered their ancient foe. Depau. the Earlham eleven yesterday afternoon fought the Greencastle team to a standstill until the middle of the last half, when Depauw made a field goal from placement and then fought the Quakers down the field, yard by yard until the ball was carried over the Earlham goal line for the only touch- j down of the game, winning the game by the score of 10 to O. The game was the most spectacular and interesting seen on Reid field this season and the desperate way the Quakers fought at first demoralized their enemy, who was looking forward to "easy picking." DePauw outclassed the Quakers ln offensive play and in field generalship. Of the latter Earlham was sadly deficient and had the team been operated properly it is quite probable that Earlham would have made at least two touchdowns. The Quakers were also robbed of a drop kick by a poor pass made by Center Stanley to Captain White. The ball went wide the goal by about a foot. The result of the instruction given the Quaker forwards by "Big" Macy, the former Earlham star, was shown by the greatly improved manner in which the linemen played. They chargd low and fiercely and throughout the game the only DePauw player who was able to make gains by line bucks was Fullback Dennison, and his gains were far and few between. Francis and Beebe, especially the latter, played nicely at ends. Toward the close of the second half Beebe weakened and was replaced by Reagan. White the Star. The bright, particular star of the game was White, of Earlham. He made two hair raising end runs, tackled fiercely on the defensive and his punting was the best exhibition ever seen in this city. In the first half, with the wind in his favor. White's punts averaged seventy yards and in the second half his kicks against the strong wind averaged between fifty and sixty yards. DePauw was clearly outclassed in this department of the game. Earlham's most glaring weakness was in her tackling. Grady, the clever DePauw quarterback, was permitted time and time again to run back White's punts to thirty yards. Earlham lost a golden opportunity to make a touchdown at the start of the first half. On the first play after DePauw's kickoff to Earlham, Beebe accepted a neat forward pass and sprinted forty yards. Here It should be noted that this was the first and only successful forward pass the Quakers made during the game, but Quarterback C. Jones constantly labored under the impression that this play was the only ground gainer he held up his sleeve. For this reason Earlham lost a touchdown. After Beebe had made hla sprint and the ball had been taken to the Methodist's twenty-yard line by straigh t football, C. Jones called for a forward pass. It went clear over Beebe's head and out of bounds. Lost Opportunity. Toward the close of the first half, Earlham fell down on another chance to score when within close range of DePauw's goal by Jones taking it into his head that the riskiest possible play, the on side kick, was the proper one to pull off. It was executed and Earlham lost the ball. The first half was fought part of the time in Earlham territory and part of the time in DePauw territory. It closed without either team counting. Seventeen minutes after the opening of the second half. Quarterback Jones fumbled a punt, a mistake he was seldom guilty of, and DePauw paraded to the Quaker thirty-yard line, where Overman, . who had replaced Grady at quarterback, kicked a pretty goal from placement. Following this score White secured the ball and made a spectacular fifty yard dash. It looked like a sure touchdown, but the last DePauw man to confront him made a desperate dive and pulled the Quaker down. DePauw then held and secured the ball. After an exchange of kicks and a costly Earlham fumble, DePauw battered Its way across the Earlham goal line, Dennison carrying the ball. Overman kicked goal. Scnrp DoPanw

FOR $9, Charles E. Shiveley Buys the Richmond Manufacturing Plant. COMPANY TO REORGANIZE. The plant of the Richmond, Indiana Manufacturing Company has been sold to Charles E. Shiveley. of this city. It is the general presumption that Mr. Shiveley represents the interests of E. F. Claypool, of Indianapolis. The sale price was $97,500, which sum i3 in excess of what was expected. The sale was made despite the protest of J. F. Wild, of Indianapolis, one of the stockholders. It is believed the reorganization of the company will follow. Mr. Claypool is related to Robert Stlmson, president of the defunct company. It Is probable the new company will install machinery for the construction of an air brake device for the use on railway cars. In the protest to the . court entered by Wilds attorney, it was charged the reason for placing the plant in bankruptcy was to reorganize the company, exclude certain stockholders and permit the manufacture of this mechanism.

COMPILATION OF LEGISLATIVE VOTE

Work Shows Democrats Will Control House and Republicans the Senate. ONE DISTRICT IS IN DOUBT. OFFICIAL RETURNS SHOW THAT THERE WERE BUT FEW CLOSE VOTES IN THE SENATORIAL BATTLE. Indianapolis. Ind.. Nov. 14.-Com pilation of the vote cast in all of the legislative districts of the state, both for senators and representatives, was completed today, with the exception of one representative district. The district about which there is some questhat a democrat has been elected there the democrats will have fifty-nine members in the next house and the republicans forty-one. If it should be shown that a republican has been elected there the democrats would have fifty-eight and the republicans forty-two. It is believed that the returns will show that a democrat was elected. Compilation of the vote for state senators shows thatt he republicans will have twenty-seven members in the senate, while the democrats will have twenty-three. Of the twenty-seven re publicans seventeen will be holdovers The republicans succeeded ln electing! only ten senators at the last election. Of the twenty-three democratic members only eight will be holdovers. The democrats at the last election got fifteen senators. Majority of Fourteen. If it be shown that a democratic representative has been Elected In the district of Cass and Fulton the democrats will have a majority of fourteen on joint ballot by the two houses. If it should be shown that the republican candidate was elected In that district the majority of the democrats on joint ballot will be only twelve. At the office of the secretary of state it is believed there is little doubt that inquiry will show thatt he democratic candidate was elected in the Cass and Fulton district. The returns as presented at the office of secretary of state showed that George Rentschier, the democratic candidate received 0,643 votes, while Alfred Sibert the republican candidate received Evidence of Error. This would show that the republi can candidate was elected, but point is that the returns which have been presented show that the total number of votes cast for candidates for representative in Cass county was about 1,000 less than the number of votes cast for the candidate for any state office. And It is sown also that Sibert received about 1,000 fewer votes than any of the democratic candidates ' for state office. It is believed that an error has been made, and Frank I. Grubbs, assistant secretary of state, who has been tabulating the vote, will make Inquiry at once. If the cleark of the Cass circuit court has made error ln certifying the returns it will becorrected. There were only a few close votes for state senator, as shown by the returns. Stephen A. Powers (dem.) was elected to represent Dekalb and Steuben counties In the upper bouse by a plurality of only 50. His republican opponent was Willis Rhoads. E. E. Moore (rep.) of Connersville, was elect ed by a plurality of only 44. He was chosen over Leonidas Mull, the democratic candidate. Moore has served one term in the senate.

QUEER DEATH OF OLD JABEZ. The Uncanny Incident That Disturbed the Quiet of an Cld Virginia Home, A Nightly Tramp That Never Ceased , Until the House Was Demolished. "1 am not exactly prepared to say that I believe In jrnts." paid the old k"",r7 that have been toid me by persons whose reputations for veracity do not ' admit of a doubt, I cannot allow myself to ridicule the ideas of others who do believe in an occasional return to earth of the dead. "There ia one case ln particular that I know of personally and that can be vouched for by a number of citizens in the upper counties of my state, and that is the case of old Uncle Jabe Martin, who anew a number of well to do farmers In Fauquier as well as ln Spottsylvania. Itappa bannock and other counties in the northern part of the state. 'Uncle Jabe.' as most every one who knew the old fellow called him, had considerable of the nomad In his disposition and led a wandering, pastoral life. He was always willing to work when any one needed his services and did a good deal of rough carpentering in return for a 'meal o wit ties and a shakedown,' as be expressed It, and as be was pretty well known in the land of his pilgrimages It was a rare occurrence when he was not given a welcome. j "If old Uncle Jabe thought more of one family In the state than he did of another it was tbe Greens. Virginia,, as all know, is full of Greens. An es-J timable crowd they are. and nearly all them consider themselves as related In some degree of consanguinity to the others of that name. 'The Greens of Virginia is the finest tribe of that name in seven states.' was tbe constant boast of Uncle Jabe, and above and beyond any other Green anywhere he placed Mane Dickie Green of Fauquier, and that Is where my ghost Btory, If you will please to consider It as such, begins.

Squire Green's. Mr. Green was called squire by virtue of being a justice of the peace. Jabe wanted his usual 'meal o' wlttles and shakedown, and It was at his service, as usual, and after a good supper he sat on the back steps of tbe house, smoked his old pipe for awhile and then went to bed. "Squire Green was engaged ln some work that kept him up until midnight, and as the clock struck 12 he heard a heavy sound on the stairway. It seemed as if some one was coming down tbe 1 steps with heavy irons on the legs. The sound was carried to the door, which was opened noisily and then closed with a terrific crash. "Thinking It strange that old Jabes Martin would be guilty oT making such unnecessary noise, the squire rushed to the door and opened it. The moon was shining In all its beauty, and everything was perfectly calm and nobody in sight. Back again went the surprised squire and up into the attic chamber, where Martin always slept when he made his calls. He found everything calm and quiet there. It was the quiet of death, for old Uncle Jabe was lying supine on his back, with his glassy eyes staring right up to the ceiling, where the squire left him until tbe morning. "When he related tbe circumstances ln the morning it seemed that every other one of the bouse had been disturbed by the uncanny noises. The strange part of It Is that next night tbe same sounds were heard again, even to the slamming of the door, and an Investigation proved that there was no person to make them. There were no cowards In Squire Green's family, bat the noises disturbed them, and when they were heard, as they were, frequently at midnight they became so used to them they would simply remark that 'Uncle Jabe was tramping again' and go to Bleep again. "Friends and neighbors who knew of the ghostly exercises were averse to staying all night in the house, and the darkles couldn't be bribed to come near the place after nightfall. Tbe sounds never ceased until after the house wa torn down, and even its demolition, which It was hoped might reveal the source of Its strange and grewsom sound, failed to present any explanation. There are folks living today 1 Fauquier county." said the relater of the ghost story, "who can. and I have no doubt readily will, testify to the truth of what I have made mentios of.

THE PLAYFUL PORPOISE A Sportive Youn9ter That Had Fan With m Motor Boat. Writing of a motor boat trip on the Black sea, Henry C Rowland In Appleton's tells of the playfulness of the porpoise: "That evening was a lovely one. the air of a delightful temperature, very clear, and the sea like a mill pond. A big school of porpoises came over to play with the boat, and the water was su sparkliugly clear and of such a

glassy surface that we were able to follow all their movements even when they plunged to their fullest depth. They bad uot the slightest fear of the noise of the motor, but swam oangerously close to tbe propeller and frequently rubbed themselves against the sides of tbe boat "On Knnrflr rmmcrvter Iront o-ttfn ,n honr I lay on my face forward, with my head over the bow. watching him. He was playful as a puppy and at last Invented a little game of his own. Lying across tbe stem, be would let the curve of tbe bow roll him over and over, presently disappearing to swim back and repeat the performance. I have watched porpoises ln many waters of the globe, but have never seen any as kittenish as these.' A LONG DRINK. The Way a Fast Running Locomotive Scoops Up Water. Some of the great transcontinental engines take on 8.000 gallons, or 243 barrels, of water to be turned Into steam for the next run of two hours, or about sixty miles. But such a vast amount of water Is a burden, and new supplies are desired oftener. It Is a loss of time to stop and let such vast quantities come aboard through a pipe; hence some way of taking water while rushing at full speed Is desirable. It has been found. How? If yon make a scoop of your hand and swing It swiftly, the hollow side forward. Into water some of It will be likely to spurt up your sleeve. That is nature's hint Follow It up. Find a level place in tbe road and put down an Iron trough four Inches deep, fourteen Inches wide and one-eighth of a mile long. The engine comes rushing along and. having passed the end. drops a scoop into this trough. There Is a general splatter of water, but a tremendous stream rushes up the sleeve of the dropped hand and pours Into tbe the slope at the far end of the trough. and the engine is watered for the next ran.
