This is the sort of thing that counts more for & team than for & man's indi- vidual record. Possibly Cornell would have won the team prise anyway, even if Captaln Young hadn't devoted himself to holding the team together. But the Cornellians were worried by the absence of Bean and Taylor, who were up near the top In last year's race and were respec- tively the third and second men In for Cornell in 1908 It was feared that with them out the team might not be good enough to get first, and so Young decided -take 0o chances. Whether he could have beaten T. Berna and Tappan s of course a question, but 1t is certain he gave himself no chance to do it, by hanging back and coaching the others along, running rather for his team than for himseif. It apears that Cornell grows stronger and stronger at this sport as time goes on. In eleven races just one was lost to Cornell, and that time, If report is to be belleved, there was some trouble be- tween the runners and Moakley. The runners wanted to do things their way and Moakley wanted to do them his. Even- tually he decided to give the students free rein to work out their plans as they saw NEW YORK, Dec. 4—While the eastern foot ball adherents and enemies are re- viewing the controversies of 1505 and talk- Ing of reorganizin®, changing and perhaps eliminating the great autumn sport, the players in the middie-west are planning for next season and speaking of raids into eastern camps and of games to decide the championship of the United States. And all this enthusiasm Is the result of the Michigan victories. Foot ball prestige has been an un- questioned attribute of eastern col- leges for the last few years, since the conference dispute which hampered the Wolverines One does not have to glance far into the depths of foot ball history, however, to remember days when the corn-fed and wheat-farming youths came from the prairies to the campus and rolled up phenomenal foot ball scores. When the eastern men saw some of those tallles they used to wonder if Stagg and Yost dressed thelr teams in track sults and coached squads made up entirely of 440-yard cham- plons. At that time there was some thought In the Mminds of many that If cer- tain intersectional games had been ar- ranged the eastern bleacherites would have belleved that the Yale-Harvard contest was an interesting tradition.

WANTS ADEQUATE PLAYGROUND First Trial of the O morded Ditfie or Work Me- ty is the Lack of Sapervisors, The outdoor work which the Columbia gymnasium classes did on South field for the first time this autumn brought out thit there s not more than a quarter of the |room in that enclosure which s neednd | and furthermore that there should be more men employed qualitied to help out the Inexperienced exercisers. These are the conclusions reached by Dr. George L. Mey- Ian, professor of physical education at Co lumbia, after a brief study of the Work | that the classes accomplished out of doors The plan followed this year marks an entirely new phase in physical edueation at Columbla. It has been discussed for |some time whether It would be feasiblo |to have the early part of the required gymnasium work done out on South fleld instead of Indoors. .It was at the earnest recommendation of James E. Sullivan, the Amateur Athletic union man, that this was eventually begun at Columbia. Mr. Sulll- van lives on West One Hundred and Four- teenth street, just across the roadway from the field, and In speeches made at Colum- | bla and talks with officers and students ot the place he made known how it pained him to see that big athletic field going all to waste when it might well be made use of for students not necessarily athletes. “Get your men out and let them fool @round in the open alr doing things that the athletes do,” said Mr. Sullivan, “and the first thing you know you'll have all the athletes you want.” Ambherst also had engaged In a system of outdoor work for the entering classes and careful, systemized measurements were made of all the performances done by the men upon entrance and also at the end of the term outdoors. These things would be possible at Columbla If there were a larger corps of workers. Even en- listing volunteers from the various classes, It would not have been possible to write down a book, after measuring, what the varjous gymnasium class students complished. For Instance, the work required an hour from each man twice a week. Allowing ten minutes for dressing and getting from the gymnasium over to the fleld and some time for leaving it afterward the students Bot In about forty minutes or perhaps forty-five minutes. That time was used to glve them diverse exercise. If they started in with javelin throwing there was later some exercise for the legs, jumping or running. It was an effort always to assist In an equitable development. Many Are Interested. The classes were large and divided into ETOUPs. At one and the same time the field had on it small squads putting the shot, hurdiing, broad jumping, sprinting and throwing the discus, for instance. To measure the distances covered or to time the runners would have been possible only if there were a very large squad of such measures and timers and If the groups measures and firmers and If the groups track of what each man did from day to day and to be prepared at the end of the season to give an acoount of this as well as making physical examinations at the start and at the end would, Dr. Meylan sald, have thrown upon the gymnasium de- partment a burden which it is incapable of supporting. For instance, it takes two weeks to make the physical examinations that are taken at the close of each year. Allowing two weeks at the beginning to examine the men who are assigned to the outdoor work, and two weeks again at the end of the out- door season, and then take in besides the actual number of hours that the comptla- tion and keeping of records would require, would really take up so much time that the other parts of the gymnasium work could get no attention at all. It is urged, furthermore, that after the few weeks of each autump it would be im- possible to show much actual gain, i any, In lungs, chest or muscles. The time spent outdoors probably would show its results sometime later, and certainly not so im- mediately. Dr. Meylan says that very often the whole two years of gymnasium work fail to indicate any yery great dif- terence. That is, a student measured whem he enters and also at the end of the sopho- more year—the time when the prescribed | eymnasium work ends—does not always show a great gain in any particular.

Added to this is the smallness of the fleld. South Field is great enough to contain a quarter | mile track, but when the interclass foof- ball players, the soccer teams and the regular track athletes are out, not to mention the lawn tennls players, who use the courts that fringe the field, and the lacrosse men getting thelr fall practice, the | place 1s well enough crowded. What Dr. Meylan wants is a playground; that is the latest idea among the colleges, and such of them as have the ground that may be devoted to such ends are arranging for playgrounds. Dr. Meylan's idea 18 to have & place where the non-athlete, the man who wants to exercise for fun, even the novice athlete, may g0 to do his little bit. Very often, Dr. Meylan there is some man who would like to try some of the thipgs that the regular ath- letes do, but is deterred by experience from going out &s a member of the regular athletic team. Furthermore | If he did he probably would get only slight attantion because of his apparent green- | ness, and If he did stick to it all by him- self probably would have to unlearn much | after he finally did something to attract | the attention of the regular athletie coach. | Outdoor Work Best. Tho actual outdoor work, D believes, has been a good thing for the men. Even If no statisties were prepared he belleves the men have done better be- cause of the hours they spent out om the field in the autumn. The character of the work has been different, to be sure, but {t has been of & sort that rather has en- couraged the students. For instance, some of them, who, when they first came out on the field, were unable to run comfort- ably even 100 yards at the end of the period of outdoor work were reeling off half miles without distress | The relay in whieh twenty or | more men competed on u side, gave a lot | of fun and helped to work up the speed of some of the runners races, or | says, | his very in- | Meylan | 1909 attempt at some sort of athletic exercise I8 generally not strange to any entering student, however foreign the apparatus in the gymnasium may be, so that most of them go at it without being afraid of It This eannot always be sald about the re- quired gymnastic work. The other forms of exerciss, the start- ing practice, the shot putting, discus and Javelin throwing, jumping, pole valting, hurdling end sturting about covered the program of events in which & track team would take part. It was arranged so that at the end of the outdoor work the men had a taste for all the various sports and in such a way that whatever exercise they took on any one day was balanced by some work that would keep the de- velopment of thelr bodies fairly even, While it is hard to determine by urement, even if/ they had been taken, Just how much ®ood the work did Dr Meylan s assured by his assistants that they noticed a decided Improvement in general condition in most of the men. They got rid of a certain awkwardness and worked into an adaptability of hand- ling themselves that was a desirable re- sult, even If nething else came of the work. “General development,” says Dr. Meylan, “will work the men out of those mannerisms of carrlage that are charac- | teristic of the athlete who does only cer- tain work. For instance, the gymnast, the oarsman, the track athlete may have distinctive manners of carrlage. Some of them, of course, do not betray In that way their activities. A firm and graceful carriage s worth while and it has been the result of this outdoor work to some.' The outdoor work Is prescribed for mem- bers of the first two classes, who other- wise would have had board floor exercl It will be Impossible to go on with it in the spring. The athletic fleld, barring an exceptional spring season, does not be- como usable until late in April. The uni- versity commencement is on June 1, and It will be necessary for the gymnasium department to cease work two weeks be- fore that time In order to prepare tiie physical examinations, which, as recited take two weeks to prepare. This would leave so brief a time for the outdoor work that it would not be worth while. Therefore it will not be attempted It s doubtful, at any event, whether there would be any room left for the gymnasium classes with the base ball and track squads working on the field. This department of the gymnasium work will be kept up, because it is belleved it does much for general health. The plans will be developed a little more fully next autumn and in time Dr. Meylan belleves it will be conducted on an excellent work- able system. It will be necessary, however, for the department to have greater finan- clal support if the extra men needed are to be had for the work, and this is an ob- stacle that may take time to surmount. The outdoor exercise is a part of the “athletics for every one" idea, of which Dr. Butler is a strong adherent, so it is supposed that the Columbla president will be among the first to further any plans the gymnasium department may have for Increasing and extending its influence among the men of the first two classes or even those further advanced. fOWA HITS TRAINING TABLE Board of Control Approves Action Taken by Conference—Gloomy Outlok at Iowa City. IOWA CITY, Ia, Dec. 4—(Special.)—~Un- less three of the Missouri Valley confer- ence schools fall to approve the motion passed at Des Moines a week ago against the training table, it Is doomed, according At a meeting held this week the Univer- sity of lowa board in control of athletics approved the action taken at Des Moines. Though local sentiment among the students favors the training table the stand must necessarily be against it, for such is the decree of the Big Eight. If Kansas, Ne- braska and Missouri stick to their stand of the last nine months the training table will again be In vogue among these schools in the foot ball season of 1910. In case three of the members of the conference notify the officers of their negative action to the training table, avol- ishment it s probable, that Drake unl- versity at Des Moines, and Ames, will seriously consider the establishment of & training table next season. “The training table increased the effi- clency of our foot ball team 20 per cent,” sald Captain Ristine of the Missourl Valley champions at the meeting held in Des Molnes last week. Its value, recognsed among the students and athletes, but not the faculty members, will ultimately result In its retention, s the bellef here. With eight “I" men leaving the univer- sity this spring the Hawkeye foot ball squad will have few veterans next fall when Coach John G. Gritfith starts fo d velop the 1910 eleven. Captain Hyland, Murphy, Ehret, Alexander, Hanson, Bell and O'Brien will form the nucleus for next year's team. Those on the varsity squad who will se lost by graduation or ineligibllity will be Dyer and Collins, halves; Stewart and Fce, quarterbacks; Comly, center and guard; Captain Gross, tackle; Hanlon and Kresensky, ends. To take the place of Captaln Gross Coach Griffith will probably use Alexander and Ehret, who will be worked ih at left tackle, where Alexander played this year. It is also possible that O'Brien, who be- cause of his defersive play is one of the strongest linemen in the state, may be shifted from center to tackle. At guards, Bell and Hanson will be back, with Me- | Henry, the freshman star, Hooley, Bow- man and Beyers forming the competition. Captain-elect Hyland will probably play right end, unless he is shifted to a haif- back position, and Chase, formerly a Btate Normal star, will probably be eligible for | the other extremity. Forbes, Van Muar and Collins will be other candidales. Currle, the former lda Grove boy who starred at quarter on this year's fresh- men team, will be at quarter next season, with Willlams, Jones and Wishard us sub- stitutes, all of this year's first-year men squad. Kirk, a younger brother of the famous “Chick” Kirk, 1s certaln to make a back- field position. He is sald to have been the equal of his brother this fall. Murphy will again play in the backfield, probably at fullback, with Wright as substitute. Gordon and Tricky will be other candidates for places back of the line. meas- | A Tail ored by & REAL cause. MRSHIPS THAT DIDN'T HLY Wrecks at Morris Park Tell of Dis- appointed Hopes. FLYING MACHINE PRECARIOUS Only Ome Inventor Out of Thirty Near Success—Two Return to Arkansas by Rail Instead of Alr: NEW YORK, Dec. 4—"This airship and flying machine business is & precarious proposition,” declared an Inventor at the 0ld Morrls Park race course as he viewed the remaiis of several wrecked fliers scattered about the lawn where the mem- bers of the Aeronautics soclety have work- shops. The most discouraging part of it all is that not one of these graveyard specimens have ever flown. Many a dream has gone astray in their construction, and it has been mostly sacrifice without gain. Some of the Inventors have risked the small fortunes on thelr flying machines, but failure has not brought discourage- ment. There is hardly one to be found among them who would not be willing to try it all over again. He is sure it world come out all right the next time. Fvery | Wright or Bleriot success acts like a stimulant, and when one of these aerfal ! dreamers hears of the formation of a 1$1.000,000 corporation he immediately gets busy with a new scheme. Out of the thirty or more inventors only one has met with any degree of sucoess. Dr. Willlam Greene recertly made a few short flights with a biplane. This, success is sald to have brought him ecapital and it 18 understood that he will be at the head of a factory for the production of aero- planes. Queer Lot Invelved. The Inventors are as varied in character as in ideas. In the colony of workers there are two dentists, Dr. Willam Greene and Dr. Henry Walden; a lawyer, R. F. Raiche; an actor, Chafles Lawrence; a plumber, Pin- cus Brauner; an editor, Stanley Y. Beach; a patent medicine man, John A. Riggs; o consulting engineer, Wilbur R. Kimball; an Arkansas farmer, Joel T. Rice; a mechaniclan and young college sraduate, C. J. Hendrickson. When the workshops opened & year &go Mr. Kimball was the sole inventor on the ground. He had built a helicopter which gave great promise, but never made good. After several attempts to get into the alr it went to smash. Then Mr. Kimball constructed a biplane that eventually met the same fate. He is at present engaged on a third machine. Stanley Y. Beach and Gustav Whitehead bullt an aeroplane with which they hope to win the 300 prize offered by the pro- moters of the aeronautic exhibition held at Arlington, N. J. It proved a perfectly good aeroplane with the exception t'gt 1t failed to fly. Thereupon the Inventors fell out. Acronaut Beach was convinced that the mistake was In making the machine a bi- plane. He insisted it should have been a manoplane. Aeronaut Whitchead was sat- isfied that the whole trouble was that they had not built a triplane. Aeronaut Beach took matters Into his own hands, demolished the biplane and constructed a monoplane. finished it he looked about for the engine and found that It was missing. Then more trouble started. All but the Engine. His partner, disgusted, had seized the en- gine. The indignant Mr. Beach thereupon started legal proceedings to recover the engine. Mr. Whitehead vowed that he would never, never glve it up until Beach consented to bulld & triplane. He kept his vow for a week, but then his reso- lution broke down. He sent for his former partner and told him he could have the engine and bulld a monoplane or any other kind of plane he wanted to. The engine arrived, and Mr. Beach tried | out his new scheme, and still his invention showed no birdlike tendency. It Is housed 1 | tor takes it out and runs it around the track on wheels. Fred Schneider bullt a blg white bi- | plane which In appearance was much like the Wright machine, but in making a trial it was wrecked. The undamaged parts were kept, and the inventor is busy re bullding it Morrls Bokon constructed a triplate which never got off the ground, but with which he took the $600 prize at the Arling- ton aerial carnival for the best constructed aeroplane. Louls Adams, & manufacturer, | took & hand at flying machine bullding. | He turned out & contrivance that looked much lke @ butterfly, but it never ex- | hibited flying qualit Mr. Hendricksun, tried the bat sche it the college graduate, e, but without success.
