HERE is no morestriking feature ofthe past generationthan the develop-ment of the modernc o 11 e g e president.Combining 1 i b era 1and profound learn-

ing with marked administrative ability andthe faculty of penetrating human nature,these men are essentially a product of moderninstitutions, and we feel safe in saying, ofAmerican institutions. They are indeed aclass of men of whom the country may wellbe proud.

Within the past fortnight no less than threeof our sister colleges, Amherst, Yale andBrown, have installed new administrativeheads. The event was in each instancemade an occasion for general rejoicing, andattended by impressive ceremonies. Wecongratulate our sister institutions upon hav-ing secured men of such recognized ability tofill such important positions. It is within acomparatively recent time that Technologyhas taken a new president, and we certainlyhope that our prosperity may be shared col-lectively by Amherst, Yale and Brown.

HE showing made by//,::?..-.,;. the Varsity football

,Y:~ team thus far has beenvery poor, and inter-est in the school israpidly diminishing.About fifteen men re-

port daily for practice, and of this numberonly about six or seven show up on two con-secutive days. Under these conditions, a goodVarsity team is impossible. This state ofaffairs is very discouraging to the manage-ment and to Captain Jouett. They haveworked hard to give Technology the repre-sentation she should have, but they receiveno support. The reason for this is not appar-ent. There is just as good material in theschool this year as there was last year, but itis impossible to bring it out.

Of the men who do come out, TIiE TECHdislikes to speak harshly, but it is high timethat somebody should do some plain talking.In the first place, there is no enthusiasm orspirit. The men straggle into the Gym. forpractice ail the way from four o'clock to halfpast. It is frequently five o'clock before

THI r CM-H

eleven men are on clover field, and by half-past five, it is too dark to see. The team isabsurdly weak in those elementary principleswhich should have been instilled during thefirst week of practice. Outside of the quarter-back, not a man on the team seems capableof making two clean tackles in a single game.Several of the men do not appear to' knowtheir positions, and of interference, the teamis entirely innocent. Even the signal prac-tice at the Gym. is rendered ridiculous by thefumbling and misunderstanding of signals.

There is one step which the managementshould take immediately. They should re-quire the coach to put on football clothes andgive the team some practical lessons. Suc-cessful coaching has never been done by"lectures" at any other college, and there isno reason to suppose that it will be at Tech-nology.

The team has had five weeks of this kindof coaching now, and the results indicate thatsomething more is needed. It is imperativethat the team should take a decided brace ifthe little football interest still left in the schoolis to be kept alive.

We must repeat our time-worn plea that-ifTechnology athletics are to be successful there

must be more support on the part of thestudents in general. Those men who spendtheir time and energy in endeavoring to placethe Red and Gray in its rightful position cer-tainly deserve more enthusiastic support onthe part of their fellows. We should atleast lend the encouragement of our presenceat the games.

Association of Graduate Class Secretaries.THE first regular meeting for the present

year of the Association of Class Secretarieswas held at the Technology Club on Tuesdayevening, October I7. A large proportion ofclasses was represented.

A. D. Little of the editorial committee of theTechnology Rezvicw submitted a report, whichshowed that the magazine had been even moresuccessful than the committee had anticipated.Most encouraging letters had been receivedfrom subscribers and institutions and schoolsto which the Review had been sent. Owingto the many unusual expenditures incidentupon starting a new publication, there is aslight deficit, but indications for the futurewarrant the continuance of the magazine.

In order to obtain more graduate news andto bring the 'Rezview into closer touch with

i Alumni, circulars are to be sent to all gradu-! ates by the class secretaries. Efforts are toitobe made tfo secure more advertisers.

'Complete sets of directories of all classesare being completed and will be placed on file

i at the Institute, atthe Technology Club, and' with the Secretary of the Association of ClassSecretaries.

Exeter 24- Tech. o.Tech. played her third game October i8,

with Exeter, on the academy gridiron, beingdefeated 24-0. The score does not welldescribe the game, as in the first half althoughExeter scored, the ball was most of the timein Exeter territory.

Stewart kicked off and Exeter recoveredthirty yards before being downed. Tech.held well and in the third down Exeter triedfor a field goal but the ball fell far short.Stewart returned the kick with a magnificentpunt, landing the ball well up toward Exeter'sgoal. Exeter fumbled and Maxson securedthe ball carrying it some distance before beingdowned. By steady rushing Tech. reachedExeter's three yard line but failed to get anyfurther. Brill punted to Storer who madelittle gain. Shepard made a short end run.Exeter obtained the ball, Brill punted, Stew-art returned it to Scales. Exeter fumbled,but recovered, and by hard line buckingscored and kicked a goal. Stewart kickedto Scott who recovered 25 yards. Brillpunted and Stewart returned it to ten-yardline. Exeter again punted, Washburn receivedthe ball and gained some ground. AgainExeter secured the ball and gradually workedup the field for another touchdown and goal.

Several substitutes were put in by bothteams, Exeter seeming in better conditionthan Tech. Line bucking and a few puntsmarked this half.

Wesleyan 44- Tech 6.Tech. met an overwhelming defeat in Sat-

urday's game with Wesleyan by a score of44-6. The team was a defeated one inspirit before it left Boston and doubly sovwhen it returned.

The game put up was as poor a game asTech. ever played, the interference raggedand line work weak. Wesleyan, thoughstill feeling the effects of the U. P. game, putup a good game, their fine interference givinglong end runs. The line gains were not solarge.

Tech. kicked off and Ingliss retrieved 20yards; an end play netted 30 more and sevendowns carried the ball over the line. Nogoal. Pond kicked off and after one playIngliss punted to Pond, the latter droppingthe ball conveniently for Yarrow to gather itin and score from an open field run. Nogoal.

Thurlow Washburn.

IT is with profound sorrow that we publishthe news of the death of Thurlow Washburn,who was graduated from the Institute with theClass of 1897, in the Mining EngineeringCourse. Details of his death are not at hand,other than the fact that he perished in lastweek's terrible snow storm in Colorado.

Although older than the average student,Washburn evinced a lively interest in allundergraduate affairs. He threw his wholesoul into whatever he undertook. It wasimpossible to be long associated with himwithout being infused with his enthusiasm.As a result, success crowned his efforts inwhatever he was concerned.

In his Junior year, his classmates, in recog-nition of his ability, chose him businessmanager of Technique, '97, and to his laborwas mainly due the wonderful financialsuccess of the book.

The success of Technique, '97, led toWashburn's election to the difficult, andalmost thankless office of treasurer of theAthletic Association. To this new work hebrought his customary energy and businessprinciples, and did much toward placing Tech-nology athletics on a firm basis. He aidedmaterially in the establishment of the presentAdvisory Council on Athletics.

Always cheerful and genial, with a kindword for all, sparing neither time nor troublein working for the best interests of Tech-nology, Thurlow Washburn endeared himselfto all who knew him. His was a life whichmight well be copied by all Tech. men, andhis loss will be keenly felt.

After his graduation he went to New Mex-ico and spent some time in prospecting. Hethen secured a position with a large miningcompany, and at the time of his death, heldthe office of assistant superintendent of mines.

Fall Handicap Games.

THE Technology annual fall handicap classgames were held last Saturday on HolmesField, Cambridge. The meet was successfulin many respects, but owing to the strongwind which blew across the track, and thecoldness of the atmosphere, no records werebroken. The shot put, hammer and discusthrowing, were postponed until Tuesday, asmost of the men entered for these events wereengaged on the football team. While, nodoubt, the inclement weather kept away agood many spectators who would otherwisehave been present, the participators must havebeen discouraged by the fact that the majorityof the Tech. students did not take sufficientinterest in athletics to witness the results oftheir training. Every Tech. man should atleast do a little to promote the athletic stand-ing of Tech., and the least he can do is to bepresent at the games.

There were three heats in the hundred-yarddash, Lowe, '02, Rowe, 'oI, and Wentworth,'oo, each winning in his respective heat. Thefinal heat was a closely-contested race, Lowewinning from Rowe by a small margin.

Only three men started in the 220-yarddash, and Rowe had the race from start tofinish.

In the 440-yard dash, Pember, from I5-yardmark, clearly outclassed his competitors andwon easily.

In the quarter-mile run, Garrett showed ex-cellent jndgment in his gradual gain on Perry,with 45 yards handicap, and finally finishedseveral yards to the good.

The one-mile run proved the most interest-ing of all the events, and to be a sort of doublerace. Sears, scratch, was only a few yardsbehind Stowe, with a handicap of 50 yards,at the three-quarter mile post, and from thereto the finish line, he pushed Stowe hard butcould not pass him. Hunter and Arnold, inthe meantime, were about ioo yards to therearand struggling for third place. Hunter

finally finished two yards ahead of Arnold.

Field easily captured the two-mile run andmight have made better time had he beenpushed.

The two-mile bicycle, held at Charles RiverPark, was easy for Murray, and Eveland beatClark by several yards.

Wentworth beat Wilder in the running broadjump by six inches.

Wentworth also captured the running highjump by clearing five feet, three inches. Hisnearest neighbor was Winchester who jumpedfive feet.

Baxter, scratch, won from Kellogg in thepole vault by clearing nine feet, four inches,while the latter did eight feet, nine inches.

As these events have not yet been contestedit is not decided which class has won the mostpoints. As it now stands, 'oi has 34 pointsto its credit, while '02 has 33, but since thereare only two '02 men entered for the remain-ing events, it is probable that 'oi will win out.

Verily, the name of TECHNOLOGY grows ever morefamous. Only recently, when our hamlet was visitedby Admiral ewvey -- may his fortune equal his fame,

a goodly representation from the Institute, theflower of the flock, so to speak, gathered unto itselfin great numbers and paraded over the streets lyingbetween M. I. T. and the Touraine. As the fivehundred strong marched along, great was the effectupon the natives of Boston. The sidewalks, yea,even the streets, were crowded with admiring throngs;knots of people, some of whom had travelled fromafar to witness the spectacle, throbbed with excite-mnent. Even an electric car stopped, and while theconductor jollied the trolley to get the electricity tocharge the car, the passengers jollied the motormanto get the police to charge the crowd. The attempt

- need it be said ? - was footless. Men from Har-vard (a sort of casino for the young, in a suburb ofBoston) hastened ignominiously from the spot; andthen Sir Dewey himself appeared at the window ofhis hotel, wearing a look of intensest gratification.l3y that time, Boston had got an exhibition of pyro-IECH-nics well into display; and the Tech. men,magnanimously making acknowledgment of this deli-cate compliment, received the swelling applause ofthe multitude, turned, and were seen no more. Butfor long after the masses remained, a living monu-ment to the potency of Technology's fame.

Course IX seemas to be especially prominent inthe Technological field, and very deservedly does ithold its place there. Its training in general science isessentially not elsewhere to be found. It is one thingfor the gentle chemists or the guileless mechanics toreceive with docility what instruction may pertain totheir subjects, but it is another and far greater actfor the Course Niner to be posted on all kinds ofknowledge, to be versed in all things, from the blow-ing up of hydrogen generators to the peeling ofechinoderms or the juggling of mantissas in workingup the Bunsen Photometer. And yet, even greateris the scope and value of its preparation. Only theother day, 'I'Hi.: LOUN;ER heard of the case of a"(;eneral" who managed to get stranded out in the

witching region of Denver, Colorado, with nothingmore than an extra collar upon which to raise enoughwherewithal for his diurnal lubrication. Anyone elewould have been staggered. But not so with ourhero -he was a Course Niner. His resources wereas yet unexhausted, indeed, almost untapped. Stelp-ping to the nearest theatre, he presented his face andisent it up to the manager. In ten minutes he wasduly installed as a super in the production of "Cyranode Bergerac." He made his debuit that evening, asone of the hungry poets in the pastry shop, and wasan instantaneous success. He gave a touch to theeating scene that threw stage deception to the wvinds'artificiality was a thing of the past; his acting wasvoted by all to be genuine, natural, spontaneous,human - almost superhuman - and, in short, bio-graphic. For one week he continued to give masti-cation exhibitions, supported by the rest of the castand supplemented by the rest of the play. At theend of that time he courteously, though firmly, re-fused a dazzling offer of the Denver lD)ime Den ofDelight a sort of vaudeville museum- and leftfor the east. So greatly was he missed by the"Cyanide of Baccarat" Company that it immediatelydisbanded; the manager, so rumor has it, leaving hispossessions in storage at the local bakeryshop, andstarting out for another lingering look at his cherishedprotege. This, ladies and gentlemen, was a CourseNine man; and he never was in a Walker club play,either!

Painting things red is a very laudable operation,generally, and one especially suited to the peculiargenius of the Technology Senior. Yet there 'aretimes, -and places, and things, when, where and withwhich carmine ornamentations is not so devoutly tobe wished. That a former manager of the ball team,for instance, should attempt to have his visage bright-ened up with a little of the Harvarderian shade ofdecoration in one of the Technology edifices seemsto THE LOUNGER to be rather unadvisable; - andthat an official Technology Wheelman and prominentY. M. C. A. attendant should try to emulate thatIroquoian example by a bedecking of his own coun-tenance, as well as of all the surrounding articles offurniture or attire, with the same variety of brilliantembellishment seems also to be, on the whole, notwithout its decided disadvantages. And further, whentwo such enthusiasts make the artistic operation themore complete by practicing upon one another to anaccompaniment of decidedly inartistic commentsupon each other's qualities of veracity, then TH1LOUNGER feels impelled, in the name of commonhumanity - remarkably uncommon, - to protest.Gore may be all right to shade a background for theminstrel show poster, but as a varnish for the foor of-no, no! THE LOUNGER feels called upon to shud-der and turn sadly away.
