the play interesting for the spectators. Missouri's team work and interference has greatly improved since the Nebraska game and she is capable of taking a good rank among amateurs.
The Princeton tiger no longer reigns king of the gridiron. The champions were no match for Pennsylvania's giant Quakers and went down before them, 12 to 0. This will probably give Pennsylvania first place among eastern university foot-ball teams.
The scores made in the principal games last Saturday are: Brown 10, Orange 10: Dartmouth 30, Amherst 0; Cornell 0, Williams 0; Yale 50, Lehigh 0; Harvard 36, C. A.A.0; Washburn 42, Midland 0.
Pennsylvania's great team is not as heavy a team as that of Michigan. The average of the former team is 171 pounds, of the line, 173 pounds; while the average of the latter is 172 pounds, of the line, 180 pounds.
An error crept into our report of the game between the Germans and the Category boys last week. Neither side scored in the first half.
The game at Iowa City last Saturday between S. U. I. and Grinnell ended in a row. The second half was nearly over, and the score stood 12 to 12 At this point it was claimed that Grinnell seized the ball after a down was called and hied away with it across the field for a touchdown. The referee would not allow the touchdown, and Grinnell left the field. The game was then awarded to Iowa State University: 6 to 0.
STUDY WINDOW
"I believe this is the thing we want," said Mildred, as she and Gertrude Blackburn and the Editor sat around the study table. The table was littered with manuscripts-contributions to The Chromo. During the Editor's absence, the girls had been managing the paper, and the contributions were the result of their solicitations. Under its new management, the first issue of the paper was the same as under the old. Gertrude described various bits of English and European scenery with which she was familiar, and which she knew how to portray in highly imaginative language. Nor were people left in doubt as to the meaning of it all, for there were constant allusions to Lowville, its
natural beauty, the possibility of its using this for the reformation of mankind, its evident mission to do so.
When it was all written and in print, and the editors should have felt satisfied with themselves for having faithfully discharged their duty, they sat silent and depressed in the Editor's study
"O, I'm sick to death of the whole thing." Gertrude exclaimed, and the look of misery on her face was enough to prove her words true.
"Why?" asked Mildred quietly, although she thought she knew. Gertrude had from following the lines laid down by the Editor, had been indulging in a great overflow of emotion, and was now merely suffering the inevitable unpleasant reactions. Mildred, of a practical nature herself, was inclined to be impatient at the general way in which Gertrude and the Editor looked at things. She wanted to do something. But she had not troubled her co-editor with her ideas, because Gertrude was not a girl who could be interfered with. If you sought to restrain or influence her she immediately became dispirited and lost her power of management. But if left alone, she could always work something out of herself, and, though it might not always be of great intrinsic worth, it would always be interesting.
When Gertrude expressed herself as tired of the whole business, Mildred was all ready with a plan that she had merely been waiting her time to propose. It was the solicitation of contributions. The Chromo existed for the citizens of Lowville; and in its columns impartiality-a characteristic of all periodicals, by the way-must be observed: each voice must be given a chance to make itself heard. Accordingly the next issue of the paper contained the notice that the Chromo was ready to publish opinions of any one, interested in the advancement of civilization. The object of The Chromo was two-fold, objective beauty and subjective goodness: and anything affecting the political, social, or moral world was to the point and would be gladly received.
The people responded to the solicita ion more readily than was expected, and much really helpful matter was received. The following we copy in full from the pages of the Chromo:
