CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS Vol. VIII. No. 10 Ithaca, N. Y., December 6, 1905 Price 10 Cents Team Barely Defeated Shows Decided Improvement in Penn Game and Loses by a Single Point —Final Score 6-5 The eleventh annual Thanksgiving day game between Cornell and Pennsylvania, played at Franklin field last Thursday, resulted in a victory by Penn, by the narrow margin of a single point. The final score was 6-5, Cornell losing through a failure to hee] the catch on the punt-out after her touchdown. It is interesting to note that with one exception this is the lowest score in the entire series of CornellPenn games. The 1897 contest resulted in a victory for Penn by the smaller figure of 4-0. In 1901 Cornell gained her only victory in the entire series, by a score of 23-6, and only twice—in 1902 and 1905—has she come within one point of success. In 1902 the score was 12-11. During the first half of last Thursday's contest the Cornell team played a truly remarkable game. In the face of a wind that gave Penn an advantage of 15-20 yards in every exchange of punts, Cornell fought a superb uphill fight for 35 minutes, and not only kept her opponents from scoring, but outplayed them in every feature of the game. After losing the ball once on a fumble, Cornell regained it on her own 5 yard line, and in a splendid burst of energy carried it 70 yards down the field without once losing possession of it. Three penalties of five yards each contributed to make the actual distance gained, 85 yards. During the entire first half, Cornell gained in rushes a total of 122 yards, as against Penn's 67. Penn contented hreself for the most part with punting out of danger whenever she obtained the ball, being aided immensely in this by the strong wind. Once, however, when the Philadelphians did attempt to advance the ball, they found the Cornell line so firm that they were forced to punt on the third down. CORNELL SCORES. In the second half the condition** regarding wind were reversed, and Cornell was prompt to seize the advantage. Walder punted at every opportunity* and Pennsylvania, unable to gain the required distance, was usually forced to return the kick. Showing herself impregnable against the Quaker attacks, Cornell gradually worked the ball down the field, gaining 15 to 2 0 yards on each exchange of punts. Finally Cornell obtained the ball on u fumble on Penn's 13 yard line, and aided by a 5 yard penalty, carried it over for a touchdown after about ten minutes of play in the second half. Walder punted out from the extreme corner of the field and the wind deflected the ball. Halliday ran to catch it, and succeeded, but in trying to heel the catch he slipped and took two steps backward. After a protracted discussion the referee decided that this invalidated the catch, and the holding on this technical point proved later to be the decisive factor in the game. Pennsylvania now started out desperately to retrieve herself by crossing Cornell's goal line, but for ten minutes more the "Big Red Team" held its own. Then the loss of Thompson and Costello from the line began to tell, and Cornell was pushed further and further back until the ball crossed the line and the score was tied. Sheble kicked an easy goal and the game was won for Penn. Then it was that the Cornell team showed the magnificent fighting spirit that distinguished this Thanksgiving day game from all the previous contests of the season. With five substitutes in her team, Cornell rallied splendidly and took the ball from Penn on downs in midfield. The slippery ground defeated NewhalΓs attempt at a quarterback run and he was downed for a loss. This forced Cornell to punt, but the men still showed the fighting spirit, and a few moments later Penn was thrown for a loss of eight yards. When time was called it was Perm's ball on the third down with some 13 yards to gain. FRANKLIN FIELD CROWDED. Except for the cutting wind, it was a fine day for football and Philadelphia turned out en masse to see the culmination of what had been a brilliant season for the home team. For three quarters of an hour a gaily colored stream poured through the gates of Franklin field and gradually overspread the great expanse of the amphitheater. The Cornell contingent, more than a thousand strong, occupied the middle section on the east side of the field, and made a splendid showing. Across the arena was the big Pennsylvania section, cheering lustily, and apparently certain of an easy victory. In fact, the confidence with which the Philadelphians looked forward to a triumph is shown by the fact that they offered odds of 6-1 that Penn would win, 2-1 that Cornell would not score, and even money that Penn would win by 2 0 points. The first bet was generally declined by Cornell men, for in their wildest moments they scarcely expected a victory, but the other two propositions found many takers, and when the game was over a goodly bundle of money left the Quaker City in the pockets of the visitors. It did not take many minutes after the game had been called at 2 : 1 5 p. m. to demonstrate that Cornell had improved greatly since the Columbia game of two weeks before. It was noted in these columns last week that the coaches, aided by Clinton Wyckoff, were giving special attention to developing greater speed in the backs, better interference and stronger defensive work. Every one of these things was. accomplished, and to a surprising degree. The plays were executed smoothly„ without undue haste, and with complete effectiveness. The interference I OS CORNELL JILUMNI formed with machine-like precision, crashed through the hole opened by the forwards, and the runner shot after for a gain of from two to five yards. The men pulled together as they had not done before this season, * except spasmodically, and they helped each other by pushing, pulling and struggling, always with every ounce of strength they had. On the defence, in the first half, the CAPTAIN J. H. COSTELLO, '06 line was a stone wall. Penn's very first attempt to advance the ball, after the kickoff, resulted in a gain of only two yards in two downs, and a punt followed inevitably on the third. But it was in the ends that Cornell's improvement was most manifest. From being the weakest points in the Cornell team, they had become almost the strongest, and repeatedly they broke through and downed the opposing backs for a loss. In the second half Cornell was weaker in both defence and offence, by reason of the loss of Thompson, the big guard, who had been ruled off the field for slugging just before the close of the first period. This action by Umpire "Bill" Edwards came as the result of an altercation between Thompson and quarterback Stevenson. It is but just to the Cornell guard to slate that his previous record had shown him to be one of the cleanest players on the team, and that this infraction was due to momentary loss of selfcontrol under strong provocation. The work of the members of the team was so uniformly good that it is difficult to single out individuals for particular praise. To Captain Costello and Halliday, who were playing their last game for Cornell, is due a large share of the credit for the team's showing. It was Costello's first game since the Swarthmore contest, in which he sustained a broken bone in his right hand, and he still played under the disadvantage of a bandaged member, which made tackling very difficult. Despite this handicap, however, he fought gamely throughout, and on the defence was a tower of strength. Toward the close of the second half Lyon was sent out to replace him, but the doughty captain refused to stir from his place in the line, remaining there for fifteen minutes of play after he had been ordered to retire. Halliday also played a splendid game, carrying the ball for many gains and helping to infuse spirit into the men at crucial moments. A s a result of Trainer Moakley*ί> skilful care, every man on the team was in fine condition physically, and none came out of the game with any injury more serious than a scratch or bruise.

Smoker Held at Phila. Alumni and Students Meet on Eve of Cornell—Penn Game The Cornell club of Philadelphia held a very successful smoker at the rooms of the University club in that city on Wednesday, November 29, the eve of the Cornell-Penn game. The smoker was attended by nearly one hundred Cornell men, including alumni of Philadelphia and nearby cities and undergraduates who had come down from Ithaca to attend the game of the morrow. The evening was passed pleasantly in the squad and among the students earlier in the season and appealed to the alumni to stand behind the head coach and reserve their criticisms till the end of the season. The Philadelphia alumni present then passed a resolution expressing confidence in Glenn Warner and a determination to give him their unqualified support. President Clarence L. Beebe, '72, spoke briefly on the growth of the Philadelphia club and its plans for the ensuing year. He said that the club has increased steadily in membership during the past twelve months and has now reached the point where permanent quarters are needed. He stated that the executive committee is now in search of rooms which are convenient for the purpose and centrally located, and as soon as these are found, the club will have a permanent home of its own, where visiting Cornellians will be always welcome, and where Cornell dinners may be held once or twice each month. Mr. Beebe is also corresponding with the other local alumni associations throughout the country with the idea of adopting, if possible, some uniform name for such organizations, and also of instituting a regular system of correspondence among them on questions of current interest. He believes this will be an effective means of unifying the great body of Cornell alumni and keeping them in closer touch with one another. in the half team work by Columbia brought the ball within striking distance and Ross shot a clean goal, which tied the score. In the second half Cornell scored on a corner kick, cleverly passed, Zarol los again making the goal. With timt nearly up, Columbia tied the score a second time. Billingsίey ran the ball nearly from midfield for a goal. The play in this half was mainly in Cornell's territory, and further scoring by the Blue and White was prevented only by the goal defensive work of Lemson. The final score was 2 to 2. Lineup.

A group of undergraduate members of the Glee club entertained the alumni by singing the new football song, "The Big, Red Team," which some of those present heard for the first time. Another favorite was the pathetic song from a *'busted" student, who recently sent his regards to "Davy" through the medium of the Cornell Widow. During the evening Assistant Coach Kent was called upon to make a few remarks on the football season. He referred to the dissension which existed The association football team, which has been practicing on the new playground during the past few weeks, met Columbia at American League park in New York city last Saturday. This was the first association football game to be played between college teams, and was watched with interest by those who sympathized with the agitation against the American football game. The Cornell and Columbia teams played a tie game, each team scoring one goal in each period of 45 minute*. Cornell chose the south goal and kicked off with a strong wind favoring her. After twenty minutes of close play, Zarallos of Cornell scored the first goal. The Columbia goalkeeper tried to block the kick, but the ball rolled between his legs across the line. Later ASST.-MGR.

Honor Lyman A. Best Brooklyn Teachers Give Dinner and Reception to Their President On November 18 last, the Brooklyn Teachers association gave a reception and dinner to Lyman A. Best, B. S., '88, president of the association and principal of one of the largest schools in Brooklyn, in recognition of the im portant work he has done in organizing the teachers of Brooklyn and in securing legislation favorable to their interests. In its report of the dinner the next morning, one of the Brooklyn papers printed the following: "Lyman A* Best was lauded to the skies last night at the dinner given in his honor by the Brooklyn Teachers association at the Assembly on Pierrepont street. It was an occasion abounding in pleasant features, and a glance at the assemblage as it sat about the tables was an attestation of the deep regard and affection in which the president of the Teachers association is held. There were three hundred and fifty persons in attendance, and among them were most of the men and women prominent in the educational work of the city. It was one long ovation for the guest of the evening, and he took his honors in the modest and becoming way that has made him the conspicuous figure in the association and its work." The function was in all probability the most representative gathering of teachers and educators generally that ever came together in Brooklyn. The mayor sent his personal representative, Corporation Counsel John J. Delany, and six members of the Board of Education were in attendance. Cornell University was represented by Professor George P. Bristol, and letters of regret from Dr. Andrew D. White and from Senator Horace White, '87, were read. Among the Cornell men who were present, in addition to those men- tioned, were Charles Perrine, ' 9 3 , and G. M. Davison, '92. The tables were prettily decorated with flowers, the prevailing colors being red and white. The menu, which had a photogravure of the president, was tied with red and white ribbon, the colors of Cornell University. A number of songs were sung by the diners during the evening, including the Cornell "Alma Mater," and when the president rose to speak, a group oϊ Cornellians and their friends gave with a vim the Cornell yell. The speakers were Corporation Counsel John J. Delany for the mayor, President Henry N . Tifft of the Board of Education, J. Edward Swanstrom, LYMAN A. BEST, '88 for the city superintendent of schools, State Senator Charles Cooper, Ruth E. Granger, Charles O. Dewey, and President Best. After the other speakers had finished, Dr. Dewey spoke of the life of the guest of honor, and traced his career from boyhood through college and through his activities in connection with the teachers' association of New York city. Mr. Best declined to accept, as being especially deserving of praise, the fact that he had done his plain duty as president of the association. The opportunity had been given him by re* election to complete work undertaken at various times. If he had served but one term, he said, there would have been no more done than other presi- dents had done. His was the fate of opportunity. Modestly he called attention to the fact that many others had done for the teachers far more than he. After reviewing the work done in the interest of humane pension legislation, he concluded by expressing his belief that all matters between teachers and the Board of Education could be settled in the happiest manner by mutual confidence and co-operation. The dinner came to a close about midnight, and all present pronounced it a great success. Lost or Strayed—'94 Secretary Elmer E.

A Cornell Alumni Poem Reflections of an Early Grad. on Revisiting the Campus The NEWS takes pleasure in publishing a new Alumni Song written by Henry H. Seymour, B. S., ' 7 1 ,a practicing attorney in Buffalo. Mr. Seymour writes as follows: EDITOR CORNELL ALUMNI NEWS: Sir: I have often wished that 1 could write a good song for Cornell, but never felt any special inspiration which would justify such an attempt until one day in October last I went to Ithaca to call upon my old president, Dr. White, and sitting out on the bank in front of the north University building where I used to room these thoughts came over me which I have put into this verse. I think they contain an idea which comes and will come to most men's minds both now and hereafter, and i send them to you for publication if you consider them worthy of admission in your columns. Yours very truly, HENRY H. SEYMOUR. Buffalo, N. Y., November 28, 1905. Cornell Revisited—1905 (Air: It Was My Last Cigar.) 'Twas off the blue Cayugan shore One glorious autumn's day I sat upon the Campus' bank And there I dream'd this lay. I thought of all the dreams I dreamt In those first days of yore, When ardent, young, with strength un- spent I stepped upon this shore. CHORUS. I stepped upon this shore, I stepped upon this shore, When ardent, young, with strength un- spent I stepped upon this shore, I thought of all those dear sweet days That come when life is new, Of all the hopes, of all the dreams Of influence, great or true, To make one's deeds in future years 'Midst halls of fame to dwell; A woman's face, too, filled one's heart As well as thine, Cornell. CHORUS. As well as thine, Cornell, etc. But have the dreams, and have the hopes, And has life's work proved true, And has it been worth while to live Up to those hopes anew? If this be so, then every thought Here 'midst old dale and dell Compels the heart to own the truth, 'Twas thy dear work, Cornell. CHORUS. 'Twas thy dear work, Cornell, etc. The hills still fill their wonted part, Cayuga's waves as blue, Still both combine to calm the heart, To make one dream still true. The moon still haunts the earth's old lair And follows it to tell How it has grown so sweet and rare As thou hast, too, Cornell. CHORUS. As thou hast, too, Cornell, etc. HENRY H. SEYMOUR, 7 1 . The football question is being considered by the Cornell Debate council as a subject for the Triangular league debates with Pennsylvania and Columbia this year. In this connection it is interesting to note that Princeton has decided to support the affirmative of the question, "Resolved, That intercollegiate football in American is a detriment rather than a benefit," in its debate with Harvard at Cambridge on December 1 5. Brief University News The Thanksgiving eve social given in Barnes hall for the entertainment of those students who did not go home for the holidays was one of the most successful that have been held in several years, being attended by nearly five hundred students. At the meeting of the Athletic council held on November 20, the following five assistant managers were elected: Henry Joseph Miller of Washington, D. C , navy; Frank Cary Chapman of Ogdensburg, N. Y., track; William John Dugan of Pueblo, Colo., baseball; Henry Emerson Davis of Peabody, Mass., interscholastic track; Lawrence Jerome Conger of Groton* N. Y., lacrosse. The outlook for a strong fencing club organization this year is very bright. The taking over of the burden of the instruction in fencing by the physical department of the Universityhas made it possible to reorganize to a considerable extent, the plan on which the club is run. The club will, as formerly, furnish the support for the team which will compete in the intercollegiate meets, but with the expenses of the instruction removed this will be a much easier task than it has been. The pros pects for turning out a good team this year are excellent. Two of last year's strong team are back, as are also all the substitutes. About forty men are now practicing fencing under the instruction of Mr. Gelas. The faculty of Sibley College has decided upon an important innovation in the course of lectures for engineering students this year. In former years it has been the custom to have menoutside the University who have wondistinction in the field of engineering address the students at different times during the year. This policy will becontinued this year, and in addition it is planned to have addresses delivered to the engineering students by professors in the University, outside of Sibley College. The lectures are designed to have a broadening influence upon the technical students, and will be upon topics of general interest in the liberal arts and the social sciences, such as history, philosophy, law, literature and kindred subjects. 112 CORNELL JILUMNI Moakley, whose skill and watchful individual graduate coaches may be care gave the men the strength and en- used toadvantage.

Cornell Obituaries JUSTIN J. A. B U R N S , '92. In the death of Justin Jerome Am brose Burns, C. E., ' 9 2 , at Watertown, N . Y., on November 14, Cornell lost one of the most prominent alumni that have been given to the world by the College of Civil Engineering since its establishment. In the fifteen years since his graduation, Mr. Burns had been engaged in some of the greatest engineering works of the time, and the practice of his profession had carried him completely around the globe. Mr. Burns was born in Watertown, July 2 8 , 1870. He obtained his early education in the Watertown public schools and in the High school of that city, and entered Cornell in 1888 at the age of eighteen years. H e had won a state scholarship, and earned the remainder of his expenses at college through his talent as a musician, playing first violin in the orchestra and at the Lyceum theater. Professor George W. Cavanaugh, '96, who was his room-mate during the four years of his college life, says he has never known so tireless a worker. Day after day Mr. Burns would arise at 5 o'clock in the morning to study, after being kept out until after midnight the evening be fore by his musical work. After leaving Cornell Mr. Burns secured a position on the construction of the Third avenue cable road in New York city, where he remained for two years. At the end of that time he went to Grand Rapids, Mich., to enter the service of the Detroit, Lansing & Northern railroad, as the Pere Marquette was then called. H e had been in the West only a year, however, when he tried a civil service examination for the position of assistant chief engineer of bridges for the borough of Bronx, New York. H e won the position, attaining the remarkable record of 9 9 per cent, in his examination, and remained in this position until the outbreak of the war with Spain in 1898. He enlisted in Company M, 1st regiment of volunteer engineers, U . S. A., and after serving as a clerk in tht recruiting office at Peekskill, went to Porto Rico as 1st sergeant major ot his regiment, being later promoted, at the request of the officers of the regiment, to the rank of 2nd lieutenant. Upon his return to the United States at the close of the war, he was at once offered a position as civil engineer on the New York subway and was placed in charge of the most difficult section of the work. This included the famous loop around the City hall, regarded as one of the most wonderful engineering feats accomplished in the construction of the entire subway. When he had finished this work, he was appointed one of the three assistant chief engineers of the AmericanChinese railroad, at the request of Chief Engineer Parsons, who had noted with approval his achievements in the subway. Mr. Burns dug the first spadeful of earth in the construction of the railroad from Canton to Hankow, and remained in China, in active charge of one of the most difficult parts of the work, for a year and a half, until the Boxer uprising put a stop to the work and forced him to flee, the country. On his way home he completed the circuit of the globe, coming by way of Europe and the Atlantic. After his return he was engaged, until last summer, on the construction of extensive street railway systems in Memphis, Term., involving an expenditure of more than $8,000,000. Hav ing completed this work, he had returned to his home in Watertown for a short rest before taking up his next commission, the building of the tunnel under the East river for the Penrisyl* vania railroad. H e became ill of typhoid fever on November 1, and died November 14. He was buried at Watertown, N. Y. During the past few years Mr. Burns had been a frequent contributor to engineering periodicals, his articles on the railroad in China which appeared in the Engineering News being the best known. H e was a man of versatile accomplishments, and seemed to have the ability to excel in whatever he undertook. At the time of his death he possessed a speaking knowledge of French, German, Spanish and Italian, and had considerable acquaintance with the Chinese language. H e was unmarried, and both his parents are dead. H e is survived by five brothers and two sisters. HARRY R. B E L T Z . '09. Harry Rommell Beltz, a member of the Freshman class in the College of Civil Engineering, died at his home in Brooklyn, N . Y., on November 2 5 . H e became ill shortly after entering the University and was taken to his home, where he lay in a critical condition foi several weeks. Mr. Beltz was known to a large number of Brooklyn students in the University. H e was prominent in his high school and won a state scholarship before entering the University. H e won the respect and love of his friends through his scholarly ability and his gentlemanly qualities, and was considered a young man of great promise. •Φ Cornell Alumni Notes '72.—Clarence E.
