So long as there’s a dream to dream— 8o long as there’s a song to sing; So long as coming dawns shall gleam Upon our boundless wandering; So long as there's a road that leads Out and afar—through mile on mile— Beyond life's creeds, So shall the ‘while. narrow faiths and game be worth the But when the final dream is done, Or when the last clear song is stilled; Or when the far road finds the sun | Has set where once the morning thrilled— Still we will night The ghosts of dreams through life's last gates, And find another morning’s light Gut where the Great Adventure waits. follow through the ‘There has been considerable here 'and there over the refusal of Harry Coveleskie to pitch against his young brother, Stanley. Harry had made his reputation, Stanley had his mak We trail with Harry. Base- ball a profession, a business. But it is also a game reeking with senti- ment, else there would be little husi- ness in it. The Way to Know. We believe Mr. Charles Read cal- led the turn here in the title of one of his most excellent novels—“Put Yourselt In His Place.” You, being an older brothr, have established your fame in a certain line. You are sent out against a vounger brother just starting out, not Lecause no one. else is available, but Tecause the unusual situation will help out the receipts. It would be cxtremely hard, under such a circum- stance, to have your heart in your work, So the older Coveleskie was right—he had no business sending his arm out where his heart was not working with it. Blood Competition. It has been over twenty-five vears since the two Foreman brothers worked against each other in the big leagues. But even there it was not the case of one being a tried veteran an the other a youngster just begin- There has been, of course, numerous cases where brothers or even fathers and sons rave been pitted against each other in meetings that were unavoldable. We Tecall one such case last fall in the Harvard-Yale game where Bingham of Harvard, was leading the cheers as Bingham, of Yale, was among those being played off his feet. This competition wasn’t direct, but for all that it was brother against Lrother, Not Business Like—But— It may not have been exactly busi- ress like for Harry Coveleskie to rush out and congragulate his young trother when the latter fanner Ty Cobb., But it was more than passing human and the big southpaw is to te congratulated upon his sincerity. He wanted his kid brother to make good, even against his own mates, and he took no trouble to hide his teelings. It may not have been good busi- ness, but it was fine sentiment, which is something more important. Harvard Stands Alone. With the announcement that Yale intends to number her football players mnext fall, Harvard stands alone in a position that we don’t believe the Crimson can maintain. The case is a very simple one. It is generally admitted and known to numbering the players Harvard's leading rivals, under these conditions, will be working under a handicap, where a Harvard victory will lose most of its reward. There is very little satisfaction in winning from an opponent who has voluntarily given you a decided ad- vantage. The true sportsman would much rather start upon even terms, working the old adage—"“A fair field and no favor.” Harvard’'s sportsmanship in the past has always been acknowledged. For the Crimson to accept such an fdvantage now would be a harder blow to Harvard’s prestige than a season without a victory. Where all elevens are numbered, all stand upon an equal footing, Where one is and the other isn’t, the handicap is umfair. So unfair that we don’t believe Harvard will care to hold herself in such an un- tenable spot. “Impartial” writes in to suggest that we have held Alexander’s show- ing in the last World’s Series too much against him. We haven’t held it against him in any way as it is a farly well known fact that the Philly phenom in that series was not ac His best and that the series was by no means a test of his true worth.
