In tin. lino, I'rlnooton'M only Iom Is Leu,

tho proHont outlook, l'rlncoton oubIU to

Yalo In tho Kroateat loaer of oltl moi.
In tho lino thoy Ioho Oro-M, center, who
has played this position roBiilarly for
two yours, nml aubbcil tho Hrt two.
hlH hrothur, L. Croa-, rlKht Bt"-l, also
la Bono, Ho played hb sub for two year
and, on the llrst team, for two years,
llohlnil tlio line la where the loss Is most
apparent. Tlioroo, loft-half Is gone. Ilu
haa been eluded us tho iireiitwt nil
around buck that ever played on the
vnln tnim. ills run In the second halt
of tho Ynlo-l'iliicoton Bamo will go down
In football history. Dowltt, rlKht-lmlf
Is ulso missed this your. Ho has played
his position for threo yean. Jorrotns',
piano at full-buck will bo hard to 1111.
llo wna Hiibstltuto for two years, and
played on the regular team for two years.
Lotton, who played substitute full-back
last yoir, Is III, and not able to play.
That tho now men are not showing up In
good shape, Is evidenced by tho small
scores Ynlo mado this your auiilnat Trin
ity und Amherst colleges.
Harvard's greatest loss Is behind tho
line. In the lino however, thoy lose A.
Hrowor, Inst year's captain, who has
played for threo yours, and Holt, loft
Kiiard who has been Induced to go to
l'rlncoton, notwithstanding tho purity of
tho latter college's athletics. Tho loft
end will be missed also. Behind tho
line, Charley Hrewer Is tho principal 103S.
IIo bus played on tho team four years,
and Is probably tho best back that over
went to Harvard. Fatrchlld's placo ut
full will bo hard to fill. Ho has boon on
tho team for threo years und has mado
record for punting and drop-kicking.
Further than this, several of tho moat
promising candidates aro provented from
playing by parental restrlntlon.
Pennsylvania will not bo so hundt
eapped by tho losa of men. Bull, contor
well bo missed. Ho was ranked as tho
best center of tho year. Wagonhurst,
tackle, Is also gone Ho wub ono of tho
star tackles of tho season. Behind tho
lino, Brook and Williams mako a heavy
loss.
Of tho smaller eastern colleges, Brown
la probably tho greatest loser. She loses
soven out of tho cloven who mado such
a good record lust year. In tho trl-eol-legluto
league, consisting of Amherst,
Williams and Dartmouth, Dartmouth Is
probably tho greatest losor, and will
havo hard work to hold tho ponnant,
which sho has won for tho last two
years.
In tho mlddlo states, Cornell is mak
ing great effort to got out a good team.
They will miss Wykoff, quarter-back on
tho ull-Amertoun team. However, thoy
huvo nearly it hundred candidates for
positions on tho team. Lohlgh and La
Fayette, will havo most of their old men
iiack and will huvo good teams. West
Point loses somo star mon, especially,
King und Staeoy, two of tho best bucks
of the year.
FOOTBALL AT WKSLYEN.
Tho outlook for a fjotball team at
Weslcyun university this year, Is much
hotter than It has been In any provlous
year. But this Is not saying much. A
scmblanco of u team Is ippoarlng ut
pructlco each night, und It will not bo
surprising If a good urllclo of football
results beforo tho season doses. Tho
team will avorago rathor light, tho heav-
lest man weighing but 1S3 pounds, and
others running us low as 135. Tho team
will go to Tabor la., tomorrow to play
tho Tabor collogo toam. Tho only other
gamos jollnltoly arranged aro with Ne
braska stato university Octobor 31, and
possibly Doano a weok from that date.
Tho dally practice la hold from 4 to 0.30
each evening, and tho boys aro coming
out In a very encouraging way.

OTIS SKINNKH AT Til 13 LANSING.
Was Hamlet really mad or was his mad
ness only feigned? This Is a question that
lias long been in dlsputo with tho students
of Shakespeare. On tho ono bund it bus
been hold that tho madness was real, that
tho news of his father's murder and tho
murrlugo of his mother to his uncle af
fected his mind to that extent that the
mind of tho prlnco really hecamo affected
by that dread disease which the learned
physician now calls "melancholia in an
acuto form, superinduced by a severe
shock to tho nervous system," a form of
mania which seem, even In theso enlight
ened days, almost Impossible of cure, nnd
that his deeds und actions were but the
ravings and doings of a diseased mind.
On tho other hand It has been held by
somo of tho closest students In both this
country and In England, that the mildness
of tho prlnco was but assumed In ordor
thut tho murder of the father and the
outrugo tlono his memory ny his wldow'H
murriage to his brother might bo tho
moro easily avenged by the son. It Is to
this view that Otis Skinner leans. Tho
Hamlet which he presents Is mad, mad
as the proverbial hatter, but all through
tho personation there runs that gleam of
good hard senso which conies not from
a disordered brain, or tho cunning of tho
maniac, but rather fiom tho thinking
brain of tho man who has suffered and Is
playing a part for his own best reasons
and Is assuming a madness to accomplish
his purpose and doing It so well that those
who aro neniest and dearest to him aro
deceived. Thoro Is no passage in tho play
which gives ono the right to declnro that
tho prince Is mad. Tho traditions of tho
stngo for many years simply declared him
to bo a mad prlnco. It Ib only a hundred
years since Shylock was played as a com
edy part and his pleadlUK for law and Jus
tlco were greeted by tho audience with
loud guffaws.
It was only after long and caroful study
that Mr. Sklnnor decided to discard tho
traditions of tho stngo, and tho result
has been most pleasing, for whorovor ho
has presented this trngeOy ho has boon
greeted with not only tho plaudits of tho
public, but with unstinted pralso from
those captious gentlomon of tho pross who
mako and u.imako tho actor tho critics.
Tho coming ongagement of this actor
and his company, which Is said to ho ono
of tho largest and strongest In tho coun
try, at tho Lansing theatre on Wednes
day evening, October, 14, will be ono of
tho most Interesting events of tho present
season, and will appeal especially to all
lovers of tho great master and tho stu
dents of tho Shakospeareana.

03 "ANY OLD THING."
A feeling of porno lias como over tho
bustling llfo of tho university. Holllcd

of u metropolitan city, tho spirit of a col

It began to worry him llnully, and ono
tiny ho took occasion to ask n friend why
ho was tho object of so much attention.
"Whyl" his friend replied In astonish

"Is yo' Profissor Swoy.ey?" uslted a veil,
erablo old coloied gentleman, walking In
to tho room as the class In astronomy
was beginning work Tuesday ifttornoon.
"Yes," said tho professor and asked
him his business.
Tho old man said ho wanted to talk
astronomy with him. Ho wus asked to
bo seated until thu clnss wus dismissed,
which lie did.
When tho professor ngnln asked him
what wus wanted, tho old mnii Introduced
himself.
"I am do man who dlscobored do now
planet!" said ho.
This immediately staggered tho pro
fessor, but ho qulokly recovered hlmsolf,
and asked how It had been done. In re
ply to this tho visitor said that ho had
been carried up to heaven and had soon
It that way. Ho wanted to borrow the
university telescope, and llnd tho planot.
Ho was somowl.nt disappointed when ho
learned that tho Instrument was so small
but nevertheless, ho Is coming up ns soon
as It Is mounted, and will search tho
heavens for his newly found planet.
A Schemo Tl.nt Failed "Good grac
ious," ho cried, "was that a roostor 1

"but don't hurry away. Tho pooplo

father had an educated roostor that
crowed every night at 10:30 o'clock, and,
of course, tho nintoh Is off. Cleveland
