The foot ball season of 1891 really closed with Thanksgiving day , though Yale and Princeton broke the time honored custom by playing their final game on the following Snturday. 'l'ho long hair chrysanthemum k being the popular tad a few weeks ago among cOllege men , has fallen by the wayside. The student has directed his energetic spirit to the cold Printed facts , to be gleaned from the text bool But the days of victory ! and ) r defeat for his team are not forgotten. In years to came though thousands of miles ' front the scenes of his college days , the true L ; American college man will \ recall these stir- . ring conflicts. In this rushing , ever-active age It Is but ' ; i natural that young America should leave n safety valve through which It may dispose of Its surplus energy. And where or how , or In what manner can our young men gain " truer lessons fr patriotism , than by learn- Ing to love the college walls of their alma mater by becoming Imbued with love for the success of the various teams as they engage s In contests with evenly matched opponents ? College athletics have an important place In' ' the curriculum of today Chief among them , and properly so , stands the genuine college genie of football The seed of professional- Ism has WI yet t1 [ brine forth Its fruit. The game belongs purely to the amateur field of sports , and never before dill the game prove so Intensely Interesting. The great unlver- ( Billes and colleges were represented on the grid Iron field by bel.ter teams than ever before during the hls'lry of the game. The game has developed with each succeelllng ) 'ear. Hules have been perfectc which have done muchstlualtli atertl done much to tllmlnate the objectionable features that seemed to threaten Its progress during past seasons-mnss plays and flying wedges-proved to bo a source of InJury. The amended rules did 'nway ' with the I . objectionable features and made the gallic . more open , thus requiring more active and ' agllo Illayers. End runs and Interference by t well trained guards and halfs , as they circled their opponent's end , added a. new charm to the already popular sport. Every game played tended to Increase the number of devotees When Thanksgiving arrived the enthusiasm had reached Its length The , , Interest was national , extending throughout t the land , seeming as It were to rival the excitement of a national eiecllcn With from (0,000 to 60,000 spectators witnessing the games In our eastern cities one might f Imllglne that time was repeating the scenes r so common when the great theater of Porn. ( , ' ' poll was crowded to Its utmost capacity by 90.000 people Though In n few games there has been Homo unnecessary rouhnes ! ; , yet oa the whole the season has been quite free from this ob- leC\lQnl\Jlt \ ( ; ) \ ! ) (4ttlure. ( ! A few lllayers have t hcelv bruises amp sprains , but no well , ( rained player has received but Blight In' . lurlu , which are now probably forgotten by he who suffered for a brier time. Without - out doubt the Introduction of a third official proved to be of great benefit to the gnme. AL all times the umpire and referee should be supported by one who has the nerve 10 r call their ( attention to any violation or the m rules , Iii' - ' . . r' . . a-a't . maftilN ' ' ' . , In the ellllt the tour leading teams have proven to bo Inure evenly snatched than In any previous year. Yule baa without doubt , however , sustalnell her superIority , Under the cOaChinG or membera of the alumnl-- ! lthoadu , the slant lleffelfinger , Walter Camp , and others , and with JIInkey , the ( silent , who Is without doubt the greatest player In the world- Ynlo had very poulbl advantaje. ( . The &amo' with Harvard clearly : thawed \ " -t _ , . " , , _ _ . _ . _ _ - 1"V \ . . ; . , . . . . . . _ . . . . _ . . -e. that Yale had met a worthy foeman. Yale won . however , by a. score of 12 to 4. Prlnc ton , composed of the victorious team of ' 93. failed to make the game Interesting , let alone doubtful , when she met Yale. The Quakers representing the University of Pennsylvania , are entitled to stand n close second to Ynle. For years past PennsylvanIa - vanIa has labored Incessantly to rank fore- most In time root ball world. Though Penn- sylvanIa defeated Princeton two \ years ago , she never won such magnificent victories as those of this year HavIng defeated both Harvard and Princeton there were many who believed that Pennsylvania was the equal , If not the superior , of Ynle. With two such magnificent teams as Yale and Iennsylvania It was quite 11 disappointment that they railed to arrange a game. however - ever ns the foot ball season must of neces- sltv be short , It was but right and proper for the season to close nt the regular time that the students or our universities mIght tale up their wlnter's work Prlnceton's team , composed almost en- tirely or the champion team or 1893 , tailed to develop any additional strength. The game between Harvard and Yale has been crltlclsed consIderably throughout the coun- try. However the accounts or mishaps were exnggerated. Foot ball like \ all games , has many fine points , of whIch the successful player Is ever willing to avail himself. For Instance after a long run , or n number of quick , aggressive plunges through the line a player finds that ho Is nearly exhausted and that ho needs wind , or It may bo that time opponents have discovered 11 weakness In their defense , or the heady player may i want to suggest soma play to the captain i If any of these supposed occurrences take place what Is to bo done ? That Is time ques- tion. The rules provIde a certain time that n player Is entitled to . so that ho may recover from any Injury or mlshap-henco the long- headed player quite naturally reigns an In- Jury. His comrades gather around him , the captaIn moves away and the actor continues hIs drama , for a. moment or two , then resumes - sumes piny. Every one admires his pluck and perseverance That moment or two which bo spent as If In mortal I agony may have been the means of winning the game. Of course , this Is not always the case when ono Is down-seemingly disabled. All wear- ors of the canvas jacket , however , know that ( hgro are times In a game of toot ball when a moment's reflection and consultation Is of the utmost importance Admirers of the game should never imagine that because a man stretches out on the ground that he Is seriously hurt. In the west the game has had a wonderful develol'l1fnt ! , and the people of our own stats need look cast no longer for an account of a foot ball game Thin league composed of the Universities of Nebraska , Kansas Missouri and Iowa , Is one or time best leagues In the United States No one need suppose for an Instant that time eastern teams arc so far superior to our own Nebraska team that It would bo impossible to compare their rllatlvo merits Pennsylvania succeeded In defeating Cor- nell by limo close score of a to O. Michigan university defeated Cornell by a score of 12 to 4. Michigan _ defeated Kansas ! ! university : > : at Kansas City by a. score of :2 : : to 12 : : , and limo University of Nebraska defeated Kansas by a score of 24 to 10. Following this serIes of games from the , Atlantic coast to our own university , It Is qultO plain that our own stale university ! would not bo outclassed by time teams of the great eastern unIversities.

It Is believed by those competent i to Judge that the game will be a more evenly matched one than the Iowa- Nebraska game was . Early In the season the Young Men's Christian association team played ) the state university and was defeated by a score of S6 to 6.

Cornell III the Uenley Regatta , OMAHA , Dec. 20.-To the Sporting Editor of The Dee : It will be a topic or keen Interest to the alumni or Cornell university and to all college circles to know that the navy management and the athletic associa- tion or Cornell have decided to send the 'varslty eight to the next Henley regatta The expense of this undertaking will be $10,000 . but time esprit de corps or the alumni and undergraduate body has provided for tilts sum The Cornell crews have the most enviable record or having won thlrly-one races since 1875 and ot having lost no race- either 'varsity or freshman during the past tell 'ears. Courtney the famous oarsman and coach of the Cornell crews , has announced that tile materIal for the eight Is excellent this year and expects to male a good showing - Ing In England. Tim Henley-on.Thames Royal regatta which Is held eaeh July Is par excellence time most ramous aquatic event among Engllsh-spealt- I Ing people It comprises the Grand Chal- lengo cup for eight oars , the Ladles' Chal- lenge plate for eight oars the Thames Cbal- lenge cup for eight oars the Stewards' Challenge cup for four oars , time VIsitors' Challenge cup for four oars , the WyCold Challenge cup for four oars , time Sliver Gob- lets for pair oars and the Diamond Challenge Sculls for single scullers which Is time prIze most coveted by oarsmen. Cornell will \ enter for the Grand Challenge cup for eight oars which 19 the principal event and will \ meet not only the regular \'arslty crews of Oxford and Cambridge , but , also the crews of many or the colleges that comprise the two great English universities In addition to these distinctively collegiate crews there w1lbe \ entries from all the leading amateur boat clubs of Great Drltala allll Ireland and the renowned I.eander Boat club which has won the Grand Challenge cup for the past few years and which Is composed or the pick or both Oxford and Cambridge oarsmen and represents the best of all England Cornell and Columbia arc the only two American universities that have ever sent crews to llenley The visit of IIle Cornell crew to England will \ be watched with more Interest than usual for mho reason that Cor- nell now holds the world's record for eIght oars for a. mile and 11 half of a mInutes and 40 seconds for time Childs cup , 1889 , and also the unequalled record for eight oars of three miles In 14 minutes and 27Ut seconds ; , made In 1891 over time course I1t New London on the Thallles. JOHN WILSON DATTIN , Cornell ' 90. flow to 1 . .llralo'our Jlo ! : . To the Sporting Editor at The Dee : A , well trained dog Is not only a far better and more useful companion , but the act of training while bringing out time Intelligence In a dog Improves his looks. I have always noticed that the best trained dogs are the most In- tell\gent ) \ , and consequently best looking , and I think that n young dog , with a heavy stupid expression , may be vastly Improved by a Judicious course of training. This may seem somewhat far fetched to many , as the expression Is often governed by time mould- Ing of the features , but a well trained dog has always bright , Intelligent eyes , and In looking at this mot Important feature one , to a certaIn degree , loses sight of the 1m. perfections or the shape and contour of II dog's bead \ldmlf\\tlon \ \ \ of { his expressive sagacloua " and speaking Q3"h. - Therefore ' J 1 I would advise all those who have to do 'J\lJ \ young dogs as companions to spend a few houmIn / educating them Such traIning would not only Improve the dog , but also bind more closely the tie of affection between him and hIs master , or course different dogs will \ want dtrrer- ent branches of education Nor must you expect n dog to learn everything straight off Nothing Is worth much that cdtr be obtained easily , and Ir you wish to trlllll your clog well you must make up your nUnd to take some time to do 1t. This Is a point over which many owners go wrong. They are In too much or a hurry to increase time repertoire of their dog's performance , allll begin a. new lesson before the preceding one Is half learn cd. Do not attempt the second trick before the first Is thoroughly mastered and practiced. Dc sure and control your temper. This Is the true secret to success. Some people beglll bV shouting out commands - mands to him and , wIthout thinking that the poor animal cannot understand what Is said to him , thrush him for not doing what he docs not know how to do. Speak kindly and gently , get the dog to love you , and to understand that you want him to learn and lee will do his best to do so If there Is n natural love for the business the lesson will be easier to both. I have seen very ugly looking brutes otherwise make themselves very elltertalnlng. The majority of performing - Ing dogs with shows are but half bred dogs or more properly called , mongrels. It must not be inferred that they are more easily taught however the contrary Is the case. I will try and answer your correspondent "Thoroughbred" ) ot last Sunday's Bee In my next. RICllAHD FHANCIS. Forest to'icht mod Stre..m.
