Thla reference to utiselflnh team work tell the whole itory of tha Cornell vlotory Thla year. Tha Ithacan went down to boaton to run over a course that wa trance to them a of course, It was to moat of the others but tha peculiarities of tha running at Ithaca make these avera" course In which there la much road running always strange to the Cor nelians. It waa to be noted that In the first part of the race the Cornelllans were not wall up. At the end of the first lap. something under two miles, Tappan, who eventually waa aecond, waa back in ninth blace and lierna. tha champion, waa eleventh. Teaas Sarrlflrea Self. Captain Young waa even further back. but It waan't because the winner of the r.8 race couldn't have been better placed. It waa because ha waa coaching along the othar Cornelllans, Brown and Fleming, who ran sixth and eighth at the end. Toung did not make an effort until well along toward tour mllea and then ha came to tha front for a time to force the pace and to kill off tha weaker man of tha other teams, who would feel the greater speed most Just -at tbat time. Young ranged back and forth along the line, keeping his men together, and when the final spurt cam naturally ba waa unable to come along aa If ha had run tha race to suit himself throughout. This Is the sort of thing that counts mora for a team than for a man's indi vidual record. Possibly Cornell would have won tha team prise anyway, even If Capta'n Young hadn't devoted himself to holding tha team together. But the Cornel liana were worried by the absence of Bean and Taylor, who were up near the top In last year race and were respec tively tha third and aecond men in fur Cornell In 19U8. It waa feared that with them out tha team might not ba good enough to get first, and so Young decided to-tak no chance. Whether he could have beaten T. Berna and Tappan la of course a question, but It U certain ha gave hlmaelf no chance to do It. by hanging back and coaching the other along, running rather for hia team than for himself. It apeara that Cornell grows stronger and stronger at thi sport aa tlm goes on. In eleven race just on waa loat to Cornell, and that time. If report la to be believed, there waa soma trouble be tween the) runner and Moakley. Tha runner wantad to do thing their way and Moakley wanted to do them hla Even tually ba decided to give tha students free rein to work out their plana aa they aaw fit. And Cornell finished third thai year. tha only time that ever the lihacans were beaten. After that, a It waa befora that.

Individual clubs have come to this coun try before thla to play, but the tour of a university team would ba something entirely new.

It is recited that the recelpta for the game bete ween Stanford and California recently on Stanford field were for the attendance of ls.OOO peraons, the largest rrowd thst ever watched a game at Stan ford.

WEST WANTS TO INVADE EAST Foot Ball Team Out Here Not Think. log of Breaking I p East Vp t by Old Troablea. NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Whlle the eastern foot ball adherents and enemies are re viewing the controversies of 1V0S and talk ing of reorganising, changing and perhaps eliminating the great autumn sport, the players In the middle-west are planning for next season and speaking of raid Into eastern camp and of game to decide the championship of the United States. And all thla 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 th 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 tallies they used to wonder If Stagg and Yost dressed their teams In track suits and coached squads made up entirely of 440-yard cham pions. At that time there was some thought In the tnlnds of many that If cer tain Intersection! games had been ar ranged the eastern bleacherltes would have believed that the Yale-IIarvard contest waa an Interesting tradition. At the close of thla season tha middle- western college are a burs with foot ball conjecture. The Michigan-Pennsylvania and the Chicago-Cornell tie have loosed rumor, and rumor runs amuck. Coach Stagg of Chicago has announced Invitations for games next season from Pennsylvania, Brown and the Navy. Th Cornell game haa not been scheduled, but It Is a probability. Many followers of th two colleges think that a Michlgan-Chlcagi game will be arranged. As for Michigan although the Notre Dame question still smoulder, the Malse and Blue believe that It team ar the best In that section and it would like to know what would hap pen tf a wr party went to the east nex fail. All th credit of Michigan' victor! ou wtnd-up this season Is given to Coach Yost, and th "Hurry-l'p" man la the hai of Ann Arbor. No one who follows th game la apt to refute the opinion that Yest deserve all the .laurels a coach can receive for taking a raw lot of material and building the team which Michigan supported In the Michigan-Minnesota game. The Wolverine player demon strated that they knew where credit be longs when thay carried Tost from Frank Hug Field on their shoulders after defeat ing th Red and Blue. He worked up a new offense for the Minnesota contest and then the successful coach gave the opinion that talk pounded foot ball Into his green recruits and hard work did th ret.

COLUMBIA'S OPEN AIR GYM Claiifi on South Field for All Stu dent! Instead of Indoor. WANTS ADEQUATE PLAYGIlOIUrD flrat Trial af the Oatdar Work It Barded ae dacrraafal, hat a Great nifflrally la the l ack of eperTlaore, The outdoor work which th Columbia gymnasium classes did on South field for the first time this autumn brought out th it hire Is not more than a quarter of th room In that enclosure which Is needed nd furthermore that there should be more men employed qualified to help out the nexperlrnced exercisers. These are the conclusions reachid by Dr. George L. Mey Ihn, professor of physical education at Co- umbla, after a brief study of the ork that the classes accomplished out of doors. The plan followed this year marks sn entirely new phase In physical education at Columbia. It has been discussed for some time whether It would be feasible. to have the early part of the required gymnasium work done out on South field nstead 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. Sulli van lives on West One Hundred and Four teenth street. Just across the roadway from ho field, and In Speeches made at Colum bia and talks with officers and students of 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 us of for students not necessarily athletes. "net your men out and let them fool around In the open air doing things that the athletes do," said Mr. Sullivan, "and the first thing you know you'll have all the athletes you want." Amherst also had engaged In a rvstem of outdoor work for the entering classes and careful, systemlzed 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 Columbia 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, wrist the various gymnasium class students ac 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 field and some time for leaving it arterward the students got In about forty minutes or perhaps forty-five minutes. That time was used to give them diverse exercise. If thov 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. Mny Are Interested. The classes were large and divided Into groups. At one and the same time the field had on It small squads Duttina- the hot, hurdling, broad Jumping, sprinting ana mrowing the discus, for Instance. To measure the distances covered or to time tha runners would have been possible only it mere were a very large squad of such measures and timers and If the groups measures and rirmers and If the groups track of what each man did from dav to day and to be prepared at qe end of the season to give an account of this as well as making physical examinations at the start and at the and would. Dr. Meylan saia, nave 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 compila 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 autumn It would be im possible to show much actual gain. If 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 fall to Indicate any very great dif ference. That Is, a student measured when he enters and also at the end of the sopho more year the time when the prescribed gymnasium work ends does not always show a great gain In any particular. It Is contended, then, that measurements at the end of a few months would be less significant as far as physical advance Is concerned. It might be possible to show that A leaped eight Inches further In the broad Jump than he did when he en tered, or that he covered the hurdles In two-iirms or a second faster time, but those things would be more strictly for athletic and not gymnastic purposes. At any event Dr. Meylan's present working- force Is inadequate for the handling or the statistics in that way. Added to this I the smallness of the field. South Field Is great enough to contain a quarter mil track, but when the interclass foot ball players, the soccer teams and the regular track athletes are out, not to mention the lawn tennis players, who use the courts that fringe the field, and the lacrosse men getting their fall practice, the place 1 well enough crowded. What Dr. Meylan wants 1 a playground; that is the latest idea among the colleges, and such of them as have th ground that may be devoted to such ends are arranging for playgrounds. Dr. Meylan's Idea la to have a place where the non-athlete, the man who wants to exercise for fun, or ven the novice athlete, may go to do his little bit. Very often. Dr. Meylan says, ther 1 some man who would Ilk to try some of the thing that the regular ath letes do, but is deterred by his very in experience, from going out as a member of the regular athletic team. Furthermore If he did lie probably would get only slight attention because of his apparent green nea. and If he did stick to it all by hlin s If probably would have to unlearn much after he finally did somthing to attract the attention of the regular athletlo coach. Oatdour Work Beat. The actual outdoor work. Dr. Meylan believes, has betn a good thing for the men. Even If no statistics Were prepared he believes the tuen have done better be cause of the hour they spint out on the field in the autumn. The character of th work has been different, to be sure, but U has been of a sort that rather haa en couraged the student. For Instance, soma of them, who. when they firat cam out on th field, war unable to run comfort ably even lt yard, at the end of th period of outdoor work were reeling off halt mile without distreaa. Tha relay race. In which twenty or moi men competed on a vide, gave a lot of fun i d helped to work up the speed of auiua of tha runner. It gave a variety to tha v oik aw that the men enjoyed it. Tb attempt at some aort of athletic exerclst Is generally not strsnge to any entering student, however foreign th apparatus In th gymnasium may b. so that most of them go at It wltnout being afraid of It. Thla cannot always b said about th re quired gymnaatic work. The other forma of exorcise, th start ing practice, the shot putting, discus and Javelin throwing. Jumping, pole valtlng, hurdling end starting about covered th program of events In which a tiack team would take part. It was arranged so that at the end of the outdoor work th men had a tunte for all the various sports and In such a way that whatever exercise they took on any one day was balanced by tome work that would keep the de velopment of their bodies fairly even. While It Is hard to determine by meas urement, even If they had been taken, Just how much good the work did Dr. Meylan Is 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 tf nothing else came of the work. "General development," says Dr. Meylan, "will work the men out of those mannerisms of carriage that are charac teristic of the athlete who does only cer tain work. For Instance, tha gymnast, the oarsman, the track athlete may have distinctive manners of carriage. Soma of them, of course, do not betray In that way their activities. A firm and graceful carriage Is 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 exerclst-. It will be Impossible to go on with It In the spring. The athletlo field, barring an exceptional spring seaaon, doea not be come 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 week's be fore that time In order to prepare the physical examinations, which, aa 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 Is doubtful, at any event, whether there would be any room left for tn 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 believed It does much for general health. The plans will be developed a little more fully next autumn and In time Dr. Meylan believes It will be conducted on an excellent work able system. It will be necessary, however, for the department to have greater finan cial 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 Columbia president will be among the first to further any plans the gymnasium department may have for Increasing and extending Its influence tmong the men of the first two classes or j even those further advanced. IOWA HITS TRAINING TABLE Board of Control Approve Action Taken by Conference Gloomy Ontlolc at lory City. IOWA CITY, Ia., Deo. 4 (Speclal.)-Un-less three of the Missouri Valley confer ence schools fall to approve th motion passed at Des Moines a week ago against the training table, It is doomed, according to the rules of the organisation. At a meeting held this week th Univer sity of Iowa 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 those 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, aool lshment It la probabte, that Drake uni versity at Des Moines, and Ames, will seriously consider the establishment of a training table next season. "The training table Increased the effi ciency of our foot ball team 20 per cent," said Captain Rlstlno of the Missouri Valley champions at the meeting held in Des Moines last week. Its value, recognsed among the students and athletes, but not the faculty members, will ultimately result in Its retention. Is the belief here. With eight "I" men leaving the univer sity this spring the Hawkeye foot ball squad will have few veterans next fall whun Coach John G. Griffith starts o de velop the 1910 eleven. Captain Hyland, Murphy, Ehret, Alexander, Hanson, Bell and O'Brien will form th nucleus for next year's team. Those on the varsity squad who will jo lost by graduation or Ineligibility will be Dyer and Collins, halves; Stewart and Fee, quarterbacks; Comly, center and guard; Captain Gross, tackle; Hanlon and Kresensky, ends. To take the place of Captain Gross Coach Griffith will probably use Alexander and Ehret, who will be worked Ih at left tackle, where Alexander played this year. It la also possible that O'Brien, who be cause of his detersive play is one of the strongest linemen In the state, may be Bhlfted from center to tackle. At guards! Bell and Hanson will be back, with Mo 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 half beck position, and Chase, formerly a State Normal star, will probably be eligible for the other extremity. Forbes, Van Muar ar.d Collins will be other candidates. Currle, the former Ida Grove boy who starred at quarter on this year's fresh men team, will be at quarter next season, with Williams, Jones and Wlshard us sub stitutes, all of this year's first-year men squad. Kirk, a younger brother of the famous "Chick" Kirk, Is certain to make a back- flold position. II 1 said to have been th equal of his brother this fall. Murphy vill aaaln play lit the backfleld, probably at fullback, with Wright as substitute. Gordon and Tricky will be other candidates for places back of the Una.

Jin London Joilm ' - - AIRSHIPS THAT DIDN'T FLY Wrecks at Morris Park Tell of Dis appointed Hopes. FLYING MACHINE PRECAEIOUS Only One Inventor Out of Thirty Near iocce Two Return to Arkansas by Itall laatead of Alrahlp. NEW YORK, Deo. 4. "This airship and flying machine business Is a precarious proposition," declared an Inventor at the old Morris Tark raoe course as he viewed the remains of several wrecked fliers scattered about the lawn where the mem bers of the Aeronautics society have work shops. Ths 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 their 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 wotr.Q come out all right the next time. Every Wright or Blerlot success acts like s ' stimulant, and when one of these aerial dreamers hears of the formation ot s ,1,000,000 corporation he Immediately gets busy with a new scheme. nut of the thirty or more Inventors only one has met with any degree of succesa Dr. William Greene recently made a re short flights with; a biplane. This, success i. ..14 an haaa hrnuaht him caoltal and It ia understood that he will be at the head of a factory for the production of aero planes. Q,neer Lot Involved. The Inventors ere as varied In character s in Ideas. In ' the colony of workers there are two dentists, Dr. William Greene and Dr. Henry woM.r, a lawvar. R. F. Raichs; an actor, Chafles Lawrence; a plumber, Pln- cus Brauner; an editor, Stanley y. neaon. a patent medicine man, John A. Rlggs; a consulting engineer, Wilbur R. Kimball; an Arkansas farmer, Joel T. Rice; a mechanician and young college graduate, C. J. Hendrlckson. wv,an tha wnrkshona ODened a year ago Mr. Kimball waa the sole Inventor on th around Ha had built a helicopter which gave great promle, but never made good. After several attempts to get into tne air 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 built an aeroplane with which they hopeu to win the M0 prixe offered by the pro molar of the aeronautlo exhibition held at Arlington. N. J. It proved a perfectly good aeroplane with the exception I t It failed to fly. Thereupon the Inventor fell out Aeronaut Beach was convinced that the mistake was In making the machine a bi plane. He Insisted 11 should have Dcen a tnqnoplane. Aeronaut Whitehead was sat isfied that the whole trouble was that they had not built a trlplane. . Aeronaut Beach took matters Into his own hands, demolished the biplane and constructed a monoplane. When he had finished it he looked about for the engine and found that It was missing. Then more trouble started. All bat the Engine. His partner, disgusted, had selred the en gine. Th Indignant Mr. Beach thereupon started legal proceedings to recover the engine. Mr. Whitehead vowed that he would never, never give It up until Mr. Beach consented to build a trlplane. He kept his vow for a week, but then his reso lution broke down. H sent for his former partner and told him ha could have the engine and build 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 at Morris Park, and occasionally lu Inven tor takes It out and runs It around the track on wheels. Fred Schneider built a big 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 th Inventor Is busy re building it. Morris Bokon constructed a trlplate which never got off th ground, but with which he took the SM0 prise at the Arling ton aerial carnival for the beat constructed aeroplane. Louis Adams, a manufacturer, took a hand at flying machine building. He turned out a contrivance that looked much like a butttrfly, but It never ex hibited flying qualities. Mr. Hendrlckson, the college graduate, tried the bat scheme, but without success.
