The error in Judgment, which proved so costly, came at tho opening of the last quarter. Just as the third quarter ended Drlscoll attempted m goal from field. His aim was true and the oyal flew between the goal posts. But time had bean called before the center snapped the pigskin, so the goal was not allowed. V ' •*••-, | ' ^m^ffkH, Pass'the Play..' The teams tbert' changed goals and lined up %.,tbe same manner as they did when time was called. The fact t hat Prlsooll's aim proved* true* on the first attempt would naturally lead the Marpons to think he would try to re- peat. This should have been the Pur- pie** hunch to try a forward pass. The goal was but thirty yards distant, and with the backs in the line it placed a number of rten in excellent position to snatch a forward pass. Had it been tried, the chances are It would have succeeded, as it would have taken the Maroons by surprise.. .Had'toe Metho- dfsjtB scored a touchdown then it would- hove put the Mldwayltes lit, the air, so to speak, and the chances are ' they^ would not have steadied before the close of the game. On.the other band, a touchdown would have \eb aroused the Methodists that it is more than likely they would have rushed St'aggV pupils off their feet But the forward pass. was not attempted and the drop kick was blocked,.Captain Russsll catching the oval and running it back for forty yards, which gave the Maroons, the opportunity they were looking for, and which finally culmi- nated In the touchdown which spelled defeat for Murphy's men. But the purpose of this story is to tell what occurred, not what might have happened. Was a Splendid Game, 'he game was one of the hardest fought and one of the'finest exhibi- tions of football seen in Evanston in years. It took the Maroons fifty-two minutes to score, and-with the seven points coming at the latter stage of the game, there was little chance that the locals could tie it. Nortbwestern's line held like „ brtefc wall and end runH nml off-tackle nucks were the only plays that netted gains for Chicago. Captain Russell was the mnrtjBO§Jn;:|he Maroon line-up and he proved a dangerous man every minute Chicago was foreod to take four trials each time to gain the coveted ten yards, and many times they made the distance-^ith but an inch or twv to spare. "The only consistent gains they made came near the close of the game when they rushed the ball to .the eight-yard line, where Agar dashed around Crane for the lone scoi«. of the six!y mlnutefi of play. WMttle Did Net •*««. When Agar started his dash i.* .... tackled by three different man and thrown, but the referee's whistle did not blow, and he crawltd to his feet and scored, the Purple tacklers baring let go their grip on his husky legs It was on an exact, duplicate of this play that Stage made such a fuss a year ago when ||liuols beat the Maroons.

It would net surprise students of football If Northwestern has a higher rating at the end of the season than has Cfti- cago. Next Saturday tho Methoutstt, play Iowa at Iowa City, and the following week Illinois at tTrbana. Then they rest two weeks and meet Missouri at Evanston. On succeeding Saturdays Indiana and Ohio will be met on the local field. National President of W. C. T, U. Gives Message of Hope. " [Continued from Page 1.) A Means of Approach.

Italy and in aU the vast areas involved in the European war Is unprecedented. By one official edict Nicholas H, czar of Russia, emanci- pated that nation from the thralldom of vodka. Later even the use of wine waa proscribed.' Russia thus lost an annual vodka revenue of many mil- lion dollars, but she gained' a larger revenue through the morality and the efficiency of her people. The comp- troller of the treasury,; Kharitonoff, affirmed: 'Russia without vodka and with the war is better off than Russia with vodka without the war.;: There] ia reason to believe that the czar on the re-establishment of peace will cpU' tlnue his prohibition policy. "As Russia interdicts vodka, so France as a war measure has prohib- ited the.manufacture and sale of ab- sinthe. Gen. Joffre, convinced that drinking soldiers endangered the safety of the country, has forbidden the sale within the war zone of all alcoholic liquors. ;- "In Switzerland, Holland and Bel- gium the Bale of .absinthe has been in- terdicted.

Hemenway of .Byanston and an alumnus of Northwestern university, Writes a short article in which he re- calls previous action along this line. He also recommends naval instead of military training, thinking the uni- versity has better facilities for this, or just as good as for the army. ftewrRet: . --.... : ri i.ZJ '" "It la with the greatest pleasure that •I see b'the papers,' that the students of Northwestern haw taken steps to- ward establishing military training at the university. They are probably un- aware of action taken long ago. First Suggested in 1898. "At,the annual meeting of the Al- umni association of the College of Liberal Arts, in June. 1898, two reso- lutions were passed, one asking that the new revenue cutler for tho lakes be named 'Evanston,' and the other was that, 'The Faculty and Executive Committee of the university be re- spect(ully. requested to consider the advisability of establishing a naval department in connection with- the university/ So far as I am aware, and I had the honor of pronoslns both resolutions, in harmony with the did spirit of the institution, which seemed to objeot to any alumni in- fluence, no hearing was ever accorded on either resolution. . The number of the 'Northwestern' for September 20, 1808, had for its leading article a dis- cussion on this Bubject May I be permitted to suggest the present con- sideration of the second resolution? In suppbrt thereof, I offer-the fol- lowing suggestions, which are by no means exhaustive: Increases Respect. "One of the greatest weaknesses in American life of today is the lack of respect for authority. This is cor- rected by military training. "Military training tends to Improve the physical constitution. "Military training*Is given quite ma perfectly under the direction of the navy as that ot the army. "There Is today a greater lack of men suitable for aervlce as officers of the navy in time of danger, than there Is In the army. Many Ships are today rotting at their docks because of lack of men? and we are told that It take* three years to train a gun pointer, but at present there are no extra gun pointers in the navy. "In case of foreign war, the navy would be more necessary than the army, and here we are weaker. "Military training Is given in roaay colleges, but the training tor naval service la given nowhere in this country, aside from the Naval Train- ing station, and at Annapolis. The training at the training station is for men In the lower positions. Of course, I should add that many states main- tain a naval militia, and it is for com- mand in such organisations that col- lege men should be especially val- uable. Aid in Studies. "Naval training would -give potut to many college studies' such as the mathematics of navigation, the engi- neering branches, and astronomy. "Northwestern is peculiarly situated to be suitable for such special train- ing. At the time the resolution was passed there was no training station. "The congressman from tills dis- trict waa for many Veers, the chair- man of the naval committee, and he will undoubtedly take his seat again in this committee. He Ira friend of Northwestern, and will willingly ren- der all needed aid. . "Within a fortnight one who is not specially interested.in this university, referring to the previous action taken, remarked, that in failing to take this step the university neglected an .un- usual opportunity for rendering great service to the country, sad for legiti- mate advertising of Incalculable value. There is no advantage In the pure- ly military training which is not found In the army." . . . . * --------------** MISS RACHEL BUSEY KINSOLVING announces a series 4 at th§ WOMAN'S CLUB, Churcl Chicago Avenue THE PROGRAMS WILL BEGIN AT HALF AFTER TEN O'CLOCK Season Tickets.
