November is furnishing a quality of weather which is showing an im- prevement over the Octeber offerings, and providing the cool crisp type which is mo delightful for outdoor exercise. Rain has interfered gr v with the full enjoyment of the season but those who know the delights of walking, well as the beneficial effects, ar ne opportunities to avail of such privileges. Walking as an exerclse cannot be excelled. Taken as It is in the open | afr it is 2 health as well as a muscle bufiler and at no time of the year can & good invigorating walk be more enjoyed or yield greater profit than at this very season. Kven up to and af- ter the time snow flies there is a value attached which cannot be overlooked. There is coolness eneugh to nec tate sction and the keen air brings si- color to the cheek and brightness to the eve in marked contrast to ihe re- suits in other seasons. Those who have profited by it know best the benefits. The wise man goes forth with head| in the air, chest expanded and dete mined to get every atom’ of henefit and he is the one who finds health and pleasure in every step. Those who are able to walk and fail to do so lit- tie realize the rare delights of which they are depriving themselves. Walk- ing has its value at all times, but if there is amy real walking season it is now. FOR MEXICO'S INTEREST. RHach day’'s developments in the Mex- jcan situation indicate that the pres- ident 38 determined to hold to his pol- jey of a peaceful intervention. Full well is 1t known what the results of the semding of a force into that re- pablic would be umless it is absolutely necessary. It would not only be an- tagonizing the federalists, but it would aromse the resentment of the entire Mexican people, unreasonable as such a feeling might be. With the support of the European nations the policy of this country is gradually taking shape for the cutting off of Huerta from all outside suppert, both moral and finan- el Hperta has about gone his limit and in the opinion of the, Washington Post “It is a question of providing a de- eent government after Huerta has gone. Who will provide it? If Huerta should voluntarily retire today, what authority would set up a government in the Clty of Mexico? And what au- therity would enforce obedience to the mandates of the new government, in ease Carranza, or Zapata, or some of the other numerous and active bandit leaders should object to the proceed- ings? “The mere will of President Wil- son can dislodge Huerta, and is doing so. Perhaps the mere wish of the United States will induce all revolu- tionists to accept any government that may be set up. And perhaps not. It is ome thing to lead a horse to water, and another to make him drink.” The course which is being pursued by this country is best calculated to assure the peaple of Mexico whoever they may be following, that our efforts are for their Interest and weifare and ‘when it comes to the establishment of a new government that must be real- 1zed. STUDY OF ENGLISH. That the teaching of English in the high school needs thorough reorgani- zation to bring it into touch with mod- ern social and industrial demands is frankiy stated by Prof. James F. Hosic of the Chicago Teachers' college in a report just published by the United Btates bureau of education, which con- tains preliminary suggestions for a course in English that will meet pres- ent day requirements, Aceording to Dr, Hosic in this eourse composition will be limited to sub- jects for speaking and writing which can be made to appeal to young peo- ple, when he says “in both composi- tion and literature there will be a shift of emphasis towards those sub- jects and activities that are of great- est value in actual life—for example, oral expression—and towards modern books and periedicals. It is not to be inferred, howeyer, that the supreme values inherent in the world’s literary masterpieces will be overlooked.” A fairly heavy task in character training as well as in the mechanics. of English is put upon the teacher by the makers of the new course. Broad- v speaking, says the report, it should be the purpose of gvery English teach- ‘on “OB8L 10 Quicked he spiriland kindle | ras, the mind and imagination: of the pu- pils, and to develop habits of weigh- ing and judging human comduct with the hope of leading them to‘higher liy- ing: second, to supply the ‘pupils with an effective tool for use instheir fature private and public life, i, e, the best command of language, which under the circumstances, can be givien them:” THE MIGRATORY BARD LAW. It is a peculiar situation which arises from the interpretation placed upon the Weeks-McLean law for the protec- tion of the migratory: birds by the at- torney general of New York state. In declaring that the naltiomal law is un- constitutional when asked for his opinion the head of the legal depart- ment of the Empire skafe is of course ‘but offering his personal interpreta- tion and basing it uipon the ground that congress had nos right te enact any such restrictions., What effect this maiy¢have upon the operation of the law is uncertain, but until it has gone to the supreme court of the country and thereibeen declared unconstitutional it Is safe to believe that it will continue ‘th be enforced the obtaining of thie .many bene- for esults which it Js intended to will accomplish, rding to the New f¥ork attorney- al such laws, shotld be left to the state legislatur It is the wvery fact that state laws haw: failed to pro- vide the rotection to, the migratory those which go {from one state as the seasoiis change, that demand for the federal law.

New Haven, Nov. 13.—Undergraduate Yale “found” itself last night, and backed by the greatest fighting Yale ; spirit that New Haven has seen in years, the eleven is going in Saturday with the bulldeg determination that means victory: %‘he team came back in glorious fashion in Saturday’'s game against Brown, and regardless of the opinfon of the outside world, the Yale eleven will shew ‘the Tigers something this week. That is what the march of 3,000 undergraduates through New aven streets meant last night. It showed enthusiastic confildence in a team that will not be beaten: A mass meeting was held Tuesday night and it was a big one and full of | spirit. But Wednesday it was a spen- taneous outburst, the kind that Yale has needed for years, to bring out the best that is in it. There was abun- ant evidence in the city and on the | ampus last night that the old Yale spirit still beats strong. { The sound of a band crashing through the campus was the first ig timation to the students outside of the few men on the inside that something unusual was up. But a couple of min- { utes sufficed to empty the campus de mitories and then the band and the torch bearers and the line of cheering, singing students swung out into Elm street and around through Shefftown, all along the line Then the chain twisted its way back to the college campus, stopping before Captain Ketcham's window in Welch. | He followed the long cheer, with nine | | { Ketchams on the end,with this speech: “By golly, Yale is going to fight ‘to the | end Saturday.” That is all he would v, and then there was another long | cheer for him and others for every | member of the varsity team. Finally there was a long cheer for the team of '$8, who were having an anniversary | banquet at the Taft,.as the guest of | their captain, William H. Corbin, and | to make the men of ’$8 fully aware of | their presence the whole line marched | over to the Taft, blocked College street and cheered .until the banquet- ers appeared. Captain Corbin express- ed the belief that Yale would clean up Princeton on Saturday, and Heffelfin- ger, the old guard, thought so, too. For the big games a number of the first string men will be back, ameng them Pendleton, Talbot, Brand and Carter in the line, and notably Pum- pelly in backfield. The odds of- | fered in New Haven are even, but| Captain Ketcham, who by the way is a | class deacon, has taken a decided stand against betting. t Downpours of rain before and dur- ing the game made the Yale-Brown game not so spectacular as it usually is, for though the Whiffenpoofs were there, their hilarity was dimmed by moisture without and the muddy con- dition of the field slowed up the op- posing elevens, Brown was weak in following _the ball and Yale was strong, Yale's line showed strength and lots of drive was shown in the last half of the game. It was a wonderful improvement from the previous week and the way that Wilson at quarter- back ran the team was the most heart- ening thing about the game. He showed good headwork in tight places, once carrying the ball, after the half- back had missed signals, for five Knowles in vards and a first down. the backfitld was another man critics praised. the Yale defeated Harvard in the annual cross country run between the two | universities over a six and a quarter ( mile course in New Haven Saturday. and the team showed latent powers that ought to make it a formidable | contender among the 14 teams entered for the collegiates two weeks hence. | Harvard came down with the expecta- | Boston at | tion, according to papers, | Wallace least, of trimming Yale without an|bas an abscess on his lip, Stagg had effort; her three worsi men, the papers right eye and nose badly bunged | said, conld oukdistance Yale's best. |up da vesterday, Gill is on But while Yale has no flashing stars, | crutches and has not been playing for ! a meeting there is a lot of consistent running, and where one Yale man is most of the others are close around him. Thus it is that of the bunched Yale runners almost anyone is llable to come in the first of the sgquad or drop back to the last. It is this gemeral good running of the Yale team that Harvard didn't | count on, and while Boyd and Black- man of Harvard took the first two places, the bunched Yaje runners took the next five places and had the meet 25-33. It was an unusually, hard run, the course taking the men up over West Rock and on the return through a miry swamp and through a ford in West river. The team work of the Yale runners is counted upon to show results in the intercollegiates on the morning of Nov. 22, The executive committee appoi last spring at New London by associated New England Yale clubs to ake plans for acti work met in New Haven and the suggestion was made that the entire association hold in New Haven around Washington's birthday. A definite pro- gramme of activity will be presented and decided upon at that time. The most cheering news in Yale rowing circles in some time came this week in the announcement. quite un- official, however, that Jim Ten Eyck, the veteran coach of Syracuse, will be in New Haven in his professional ca- pacity next spring. The outcome of the Yale-Princeton race this fall and the general criticism that followed it brought the rowing question to a head. It seemed to be the common opinion among undergraduates and graduates that the English stroke, at least as rowed by Americans, had been fairly tried out in the past three years, had failed, and must go. Therefore the only alternative was the professional coach, and a formal announcement by Captain Denegre of the appointment of Mr. Ten Eyck is expected in a short time. He and the advisory rowing committee have been considering the situation for the past iwo weeks. Ten Eyck has wrought marvels with the Syracuse carsmen. With scanty resources there, in the way of facili- ties and of money, he has trained crews that have shown open water to Ceornell and the other university eights that have the Poughkeepsie as their scene of contest. And what Ten Eyek could do under those hampering cir- cumstances, Yale men feel he can ac complish vhere neither men nor money nor training facilities of the very first ‘order are at hand. Ten Eyek. Courtney of Cornell, Wray of Harvard, perhaps Rice of ,Columbia, make up the Big Four among Ameri- can university rowing coaches and the old man of Syracuse is as good as any of them. He taught Head Coach Har- riman his fundamentals of rowing and now the master himself is coming, in time for the beginning of indoor prac- tice, about Feb. 1, quite probably, but almost certainly by the time the crews get out on the water in April, it is stated. The veterans of the famous football team of 1888, as the guests of Cap- tain William ' H. Corbin, '89, recalled last night the season they made a scoring record that will hold for all time, 695-0.
