T H E ORACLET w o great teams meet today on

the Howard Campus. Either there will be a o-o game, a tie game or one team will win. Each team will be confident of victory, but one or both will be disappointed. T h e team that does the better playing throughout the game will surely win. If Howard scores more points than Lincoln. Lincoln will lose; but if Lincoln scores fewer

points than Howard, Lincoln wiil surely lose.

I f Howard loses, Lincoln will also lose. I f Lincoln loses, How­ard will surely win. I f Howard wins there will be a great time on the campus to-night; i f Lincoln loses, this will be a large evening, indeed. If Howard wins, Lincoln will be convinced that she can not play a classy game of foot ball; but if Lincoln loses, she will ac­knowledge that Howard has her

outclassed. I f Lincoln loses, her valiant warriors will return home upon their shields: i f Howard wins she will furnish the shields upon which to bear away the noble but vanquished foe.— Smada.

ENTH USIASMT is a niaicli which kindles

the fire o f desire to do things and so, is often

mistaken for this desire— it is the lash which drives to greater efforts; it quickens the will and brightens the intellect. Enthusiasm is a stout skiff which carries its posses­sor safely over the Sea o f A d v er­sity, through the Narrows of Des­pair, into the Harbor of Accom­plishment Without it, the other ingredients ofSuccess are as naught — they are potential without it. kinetic with i t . ' ’

“ Enthusiasm is truly a God gilt Happy be he who possesses i t .”

T h e above definition of enthu­siasm is a very good one. Enthu­siasm is a powerful factor in every Student’s life. It is much desited among some of our students and at the same time is much lacking— distressingly lacking. Some fel­lows attend school because it is generally considered honorable to do so. They have zero enthusiasm in their work. Some who attend school— yes, many— aim only to “ get b y " in their studies. T hey have but little interest beyond that point and a very lot" degree of en­thusiasm. Some come to school with a boiling point enthusiasm in all branches of their work, but after a while the temperature begins to chill and down, down, it goes until it reaches the zero mark.

Can we find the cause of this d e ­cline of enthusiasm? Perhaps we can. Can we, as students, revive this enthusiasm in work around Howard? We can be willing to re­vive it but we alone cannot do it. T o arouse enthusiasm the mind must be fed continually and regu­larly. T h e subject taught must be made interesting. I f the prepara­tion has been superficial, the pre­sentation “ slip shod,” halfhearted, uncertain, the result will be still worse. All vagueness must be vanquished else the vanguard vies in vain.

T he students must be energetic. T h e teacher must always give something, the student must al­

ways receive something. I fyou can arouse some enthusiasm in your work the student will not be satis­

fied to slide just one notch beyond sixty-nine, but will go as far as his constantly developing powers allow him to go regardless of the number of notches he has passed. The student that is enthusiastic will try not only to excel his classmates but will strive to attain unto the highest mark of efficiency regard­less of class standing.

Some schools offer gold medals or money for excellence in scholar­ship. We do not want that. En­thusiasm that must be bought with gold will not amount to mcuh. We want the true, genuine enthu­siasm, the kind that can be stirred up in the classroom, the kind that makes a man forget to take his “ three cuts'’ , the kind that makes us sorry when the end of a recita­tion comes. When we get this kind of enthusiasm for our work there will be no work: all work will be as play. No duty will be a task. No task will be a punish­ment. If it be so every punish­ment will be a pleasure.

ATHLETICSH lv Howard eleven is primed

for Thanksgiving contest. Lincoln’s defeat last Satur­

day was hailed by all but our team will take no chances. From all dope attainable the teams are evenly matched, and while Howard is pre­paring for a hard game, they are confident o f winning this year L in ­coln’s team outweighs Howard but nothing can be conceded by us in team work. Bullock, full, and Branch in tackle are slated as stars. The full back hits the line heavily and usually makes his gain. But H ow­ard men are all in good condition and were put through some stiff work early this w tek, after which they were given light work in or­der that they may be in the best physical condition for the Lincbl'n game.

Howard’s goal has not been 1 crossed this y’ear and we intend to

make, our goal a sacred spot. Every precaution is being taken by both teams for the largest and best game of the season. The officials have been chosen from the inter-collegiate athletic commission and a good clean game is expected, although “ Terrib le” Terry receiv­ed a message from Lincoln that the African tribe would get him, win or lose. We hope this was a joke, however, because we are out for good, clean sport especially during this wide spread fjot-ball contro­versy.

A rabble from both schools will be on hand and a large number of friends and patrons is expected.

Howard manager ts expending every effort to make it pleasant for the team and the student body will spare no pains in welcoming visitors to our campus. A recep­tion has been planned for the Thanksgiving night and a large attendance is solicited. Let e v ­ery one try to be present.

M Street vs. Armstrong

The M Street High School went down before the Armstrong Tech last Wednesday, 17 to o. The game is an annual and is character­ized by much spirit and en husi- asm. On the side line were the well known faces of Dr Booker T. Washington, Bishop Scott, Emmet J. Scott, Lieutenant Oliver Davis. A large Howard rabble was pres­ent and cheered the good work of both teams.

The T ech eleven greatly out­weighed the M Street and this was a great factor in the result. Both teams played the open game re­sorting to trick play’s, forward pass­es and onside kicks. Tech was very successful in this line of play­ing, making two touchdowns on onside kicks and one on forward pass. M Street made several gains 011 criss-cross and fake end runs. Punting and handling punts on both sides were about equal. T h e work o f Browu, Dandridge broth­ers, Kenny for Tech and Shipley, Mann for M Street was the feature of the game.

Lincoln is Defeated.

In a spirited and mud fought game Shaw defeated Lincoln on Lincoln field Saturday by a score o f 5 to o. T h e most 'sensational play was an 85 \ard run by Brown for a touchdown. Lincoln failed to handle S h a w ’s punt and Brown recovered the ball making a spec­tacular run while Cheek formed perfect interference After this Shaw resorted to kicking and Lin­coln was kept in her own territory during the greater part of the game.

Lincoln failed to judge S h a w ’s ability and did not send in her best material, saving it presumably for Howard. S h a w ’s team had been strengthened considerably and was active and alert. Lincoln rushed her best material in after the touch­down but it was too late.

SENIOR CLASS ORGAN­IZED

Last Thursday afternoon a com­mittee of fifteen or more persons representing the Senior Classes of the various departments met and foimed an organization to 1 e know n as the Senior Association. The chief object of this associa­tion is to acquaint the different members of the senior classes with one another. A permanent organ­ization was effected with \V. I). Giles, Dental, President; H. H. Summers, Teachers College, Vice- President; 1C. J. Graham, Law. Secretary; Miss Phoebe Perry. Col­lege, Critic; John Ellis, Medical, Treasurer and Reporter.

This oigauization is a long step forward and one that should have been taken years ago. It can be o f immense service to the faculty in regulating conduct and perfect­ing discipline of students o f lower classes. T h e upper classes both

Senior and Junior are willing to lend cheerfully whatever influence they have in co-operating with the faculty to make the University second to none in manner and con­duct o f students, and raise the standatd to an equal plane of any in the country.

1i T he Independent for November i i , 11,09, thinks the suggestion made by President Thirkield, that some of General Howard's admir­ers or friends should give his old mansion to Howard University the most notable and concrete memo­rial of him, for a Theological Semi­nary, since this, the first depart­ment established by the General, has far outgrown its present quar­ters, is a good one, and since it joins the University’s property, can be fitted out for elegant service for less than a third of its original cost.

If We extend a hearty welcome to all visitors and invite them to come again. W e admire your deep spirit

of enthusiasm. If you will not cheer for us we are glad to set- you cheer for Lincoln. When you re­turn home take with you a Howard University J o u r n a l as a souvenir. Just give us your name and addre.-s and sixty cents, and we will mail you the J o u r n a l for one yea> ab­solutely fret of charge. All alumni are duty and honor hound to sub­scribe; all others are kindly re quesled to do so. We have been doing some great tilings around here the lost few tears, but we are going to do still more and ton should know something about it. Get the "Howard spirit” which is alwavs to be found in the Howard University J o u r n a l .

•f A few weeks ago an article en­titled "C all a Halt” appeared in the J o e k n ,\ 1. to which quite a mini her of too over sensalive students took exception. The article made no charges against any particular student nor students of any depart­ment or classification, but simply stated what is a fact Without doubt somebody was bit for replies in great numbers have come to us, and those persons win. wrote them did not lose time in selecting the mildest terms with which to ex- piess their vindication, and on that account they did not find their way into the columns of the J o u k n a i ..

We do not object nor will we re­fuse to Mihlish a reply to any arti­cle that may appear in these col­

umns so long as it is within the bounds of reason, and nor an out­landish and mud slinging invec­tive, for in the first place we are going to try to see that nothing that will call for such goes in these is­sues.

We take this occasion to make this statement because, already un­warranted accusations have been made that we do not publish any­thing unless we like it, this com ­plaint has been made four times and every time from students who are not subscribers for the J o u r ­n a l .Tf The present outlook for football seems that the game is" inevitably

doomed to go. So many deaths and injuries resulting from t b s phase of college sport have led both the school authorities and the public to demand a revision of the rules to alleviate so much danger. This is not an unwise demand, for so many young men with brilliant careers before them are being dis­possessed of their lives or so maimed in body as to render them wholly unfit for the duties ot an ac- t i i e l i f e . A revision of ihe rules so that the pla\s can be made mete openly will in a measure remove some danger but the greatest dan­ger will ever be attached to the game so long as a man runs with the hall ana is tackled while run­ning.

Althoug fewer deaths and inju­ries have occurred this year than did last \ ear or even lor several years yet the demand for a less brutal scene on the gridiron seems to be stronger now than ever We would indeed be glad to see the rules revised so that the game can be retained but it is feared that it is almost impossible to revise the rules much more and retain the present game.

It has been through this medium of sport that so much interest in college athletics has been kept up and to cut it out will be an awful

H O W A R D ’S SQUADHE team representing How- aid this tear is the best we

n n have ever put outlie field. Though lighter than the teams of previous year we stand the best chance o f our life to defeat Lincoln, our long standing and most worthy tival for the champion-hip of color­ed colleges of the country. The

one advantage that \ie have over Lincoln is that she has to make her men while we don't necessarily have tiii- task to perform. T he best ath­letes leave other schools and come to Howard, besides we have a lar­ger number to draw from, but too much stress cannot be placed in these facts, lor Lincoln has an aggrega­tion that knows the game of foot ball and plays it from start to finish. Linccdn has an advantage over Howard in her location; away* from the many luring temptations which

have a tendency to render those who are so weak as to yield to them, and quite a number of our men cannot resist them, unfit to compete with those men who sleep hearty and long every night.

T he personnel of Howard's team is wonderfully gratifying to those who know the men. Ed. Grey, the star half back who played on Amherst’s victorious team last year, and who was subsequently chosen by Walter Camp for the All-American team, is a wonderful addition to the wearer’s of the blue and white. Besides there are Terry, Bruce, Allen and Franklin all of whom are in pink of condi­tion.

The final scrimmage before the big game was had last Thursday morning, and the practice since has only consisted of signal prac­tice field punting and wind d evel­oping so you can expect to see a good game when these two rivals meet on Howard’s Campus.

CORNER STO NE LAY­ING

T h e corner stone o f the new Science Hall was laid last T ues­day evening at three o'clock « itli appropriate services.

The program consisted of speach- es by President Thirkield, Hon Richard A. Ballinger, Secretary of t lie Interior, Dr. Robert S. Woodward; President o f the Car- tieige Institution of Washington and Dr. Charles Wardell Stiles, Director of the Rockfeller fund for combating the bookworm disease.

T oo much cannot be said about the wonderful and great progress the University has made and is still making under the present admin­

istration, not only in adding new buildings but even in raising the standard of the University in every way.

T h e J o u r n a l will take occassion in the next issue to point out some of these improvements.

Y. M. C. A.One of the largest meetings in

the history ot the Y . M. C. A. was held Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. Scores of young men were present, and we are glad to note that they represented every department of the University.

Tw o prominent speakers were present, Mr. W. A. Hunton, the International Secretary of the Y . M. C A ., and Mr. Knowles Coop­er, the General Secretary o f the city association. The subject dis­cussed bv Mr. Cooper was, “ Stu­dents' responsibility,” that dis­cussed by Mr. Hunton was “ Char­acter building.” Both addressee were delived in an earnest and im­pressive manner and they contain­ed many practical suggestions that will enable the characters and beautify the lives of any student body who will heed them.

Mr. B. L . Marchant was elected delegate to tire Y . M. C. A. Con­vention which meets in Louisville, Kentucky on the second of Decem­ber. W e commend the selection in the highest terms for Mr. Mar- cl:ant will not only represent the

Y . M. C. A . in the fullest sense of the word but he will do credit to the university o f which he is a member.

On Thanksgiving morning at 7 o ’clock the Y . M. C. A. and the Y . W . C. A. will hold a union prayer meeting in the assembly room of the main building. Let every student be present to enjoy this service.

T h e music of the Y . M. C. A. on Sunday afternoon was especially good. The well renderd solo of Mr. Elmer Terry was highly ap­preciated by the entire audience.

CLASSICS AT H O W AR DN the presence of the rapid development of natural sci­ences and modern languages

and paralyzed perhaps by the evolu­tion of the doctrine of industrial education, many of our educators are taking every opportunity to d e­nounce the stndv of the classics. In Howard University, this dispo­sition is becoming so common that a student of the upper classes, can't attend his usual round daily lec­tures without having his respect for the importance of Greek and Latin in a liberal education taken to task. It is strange indeed that those who d eoq the classics most emphati­cally arc those who specialized most extensively in Greek and Lat­in, and owe their great breadth of knowledge to these subjects. T hey might, at least, be courteous enough to be quiet, if they have nothing praiseworthy to say regarding clas­sical studies.

The so called “ new education.” which purports to supercede Greek and Latin is only an experiment and who knows but that the test of a few years will prove it futile and unsatisfactory. It is usually con­ceded that the classics afford men­tal discipline and culture which no other studies yield (except mathe­matics). Now this superior disci­plinary value of classical education, of necessity, means the superior ability to adapt oneself to ones en­

vironments, and this is the end to- be desired in all education. How, then are we to conclude that Greek and Latin have no place in modern education.

It is not infrequently urged that industrial education is a fit substi­tute for the classics. A lecturer, of no mean repute, on discoursing on “ education of the negro as a natural concern” recently re­marked: “ It is far more important that a boy be familiar with tools and workshop appliances than that he should be able to read Cicero’s “ De Senectute” . Now, does it not naturally and logically follow from the admitted superiority of disciplinary value of the Classics, that the boy who can read “ De Senectute” appreciatively, will surpass, even in the workshop, the boy who never knew Cicero’s thought, style and power? T he former has a mind disciplined to accuracy. He has a mental habit for seeing things correctly, as well as the physical skill at manip­ulating tools. For him, his hands design what his mind conceives, but for the latter boy, his .hand must be taught to design what some classical mind has conceived and planned out for him. In case of the first the-re is opportunity for progress, as his mind is capable o f seeing new relations, new propor­tions and designs.

Apply this argument to the prin­ciple of bread winning, so often urged by the anti-classical thinkers and speakers, and it is conclusive that the boy with a classical train­ing can win more and thus lias in him superior possibilities fora fam­i ly ’s support, and is thus a superior economic asset to the community.

Most o f the best books written are saturated allusions aiid inodes of thought drawn from classical sources, and we shall sustain a great loss if this mine of wealth ceases to be explored or we come to disregard the classics as impor­tant in modern education.

SOCIETIEST h e Alpha Phi Literary Society

enjoyed the pleasure of its first bi- montly social in Miner Hall, Friday evening Nov. 19, 09. During the early hours, was favored with the rendition of a pleasing and appro­priate program.

Mr. Wm. Love, President, set forth the aim and purpose of the So­ciety in a concise manner. Miss Fleming rendered a vocal solo, “ The Kossary,’ ’ which was follow­ed by a recitation from Dunbar by Miss Cooper. T h e program was concluded with an instrumental solo, “ T h e Mountain Stream’ ’ In- Miss V . E. Johnson.

Refreshments were served and the assembly engaged in a social chat. The Society will make such a diversion from the regular routine at one meeting in every two months. It intends to make the occasion a pleasant one and desires the membership of all who are eli­gible.

BAN D OFFICERSThe Band is on foot again and an

efficient corps of officiers will pilot it through this year. T he mem­bers realize the interest that the University is taking in the organ­ization and they intend to give their hearty support. The following of­ficers were the unanimous choice o f the body :

Pres., Numa P. G. Adams, Yice- Pres., C. Benj Curley, Secretary; L . B. Carey, Treasurer, Dr. W. L- Smith, Manager, Prof. A. H. Brown, Mr. Wm. I). Giles was appointed Director by the University and Mr. J. W. Ross, chosen as his assis­tant.
