The Amherst eleven sustained a 21 to 0 defeat last Saturday against the heavy Colgate team. The players on both aggregations were well banged up. Lowell Shumway, '14, an alumnus of Manual Training, was sent to the hospital because of Injuries to his rleht foot for one of the freshman managerships.

October 10 While not astonishing that New York Is one of the three States that together contribute 75 per cent, of Dartmouth's "population," it Is worthy of mention that Brooklyn is oredlted with some 22 men this fall.

Of the seven freshmen (class 1917) we find H. O. Fowler, R. D. Halloran and Thomas O'Neill making tracks on the football field trying hard for the freshman team, which played mighty well against Exeter last Saturday.

A. Dingwall, William F. Dobbins, S. T. Whitor and Charles Wolff have yet to lndlcvate their chosen undergraduate activity.

Being from Brooklyn, we assume activity. The first number of Dartmouth's "Jack o' Lantern," the college funny paper, shows the earmarks of Charles Kings-ley's ('14) editorial capacity. Kingsley Is a Brooklynlte and an Erasmlan. Al Munkelt, '14, is KlngBleys assistant business manager. The Junior class has elected Dave Klnne, '15, to Bucceed himself as class secretary.

Incidentally Klnne Is on the HARVARD L. I. CLUB President Richter States Kind of Work Club Is to Perform. Cambridge, October 10 The first meeting of the Long Island Club for tbe year was held last week at the Harvard Union, In the room of the Federation of Territorial Clubs. A largo and representative number of Brooklyn and Long Island men were present.

Tbe aim of the club Is to unite socially all such men In the university and to make possible effective Individual and co-operative effort for Harvard In Brooklyn and elsewhere on Long Island. At the meeting the president, F. E. Hlchter, an Adelphl Academy graduate, outlined the kfnds of work that would be carried on by the organization and Its members rfurlug tbe year. These Included personal work among former schoolmates and friends In telling them of the advantages that Harvard offers to the boy of ability, distribution of Har- ERNEoTKlCHTERs.

Pretldent Hwvurd Lung Island Club. vard literature at schools, the lining up of Harvard men on school faculties to Interest their pupils in Harvard, and other means. Attention was called to the fact that through the new plan of admission the university was trying to make it easier for desirable fellows to eotne to Harvard than was possible under the old plan, and also to the fact that the Long Island alumni, by offering freshman scholarships to graduates of Long Island high and preparatory schools, were working toward the same end; and the members of the club were urged to second these endeavors. With a record number of men entering from Long Island this year, there Is promise of further achievements of this kind, especially by concentrating effort on those schools which are now sending only a few men or none at all to Harvard. The club has a correspondence committee whose business it is to get in touch with all boys in tbe high and preparatory schools who are thinking of coming to Harvard, and to render them what services It can by giving them Information about the university.

In this connection an attempt will be made to band together all the boyB In each school who are looking forward to entering Har- EUGENE GREIDERj Secretary-Treaaurur Hurvuxd Ixtnt Inland Club. vard, that they may act as a nucleus of Harvard interest and sentiment In their respective schools. With Long Island men in every, branch of undergraduate activity at the university, the committee will, If need be, refer inquiries to one or more of these prominent undergraduates. The chairman of the correspondence committee is Frank W. Wheeler.

'16, a Manual graduate. The secretary-treasurer of the club is Eugeno Gretdor, 'IB, of Erasmus. On Wednesday the freshman football team played Its first game of the season, defeating Groton School by the score of 25 to 0. At left guard on the freshman team was David Duncan, of Port Washington, who played throughout the game, and was one of an impregnable center trio. Fall practice for both varsity and freshman rowing squads has begun, and among the men on the freshman squad are J.

M. Mellen, of Garden City, and J. K. T. Phillips, of Lawrence.

ADELPHI Now that tho chaos In which affairs always find themselves at the beginning of a semester has been reduced to something like order, the girls at Adelphl College have commenced to turn their attention to their various clubs and societies. At a meeting of the Round Table, a nominating committee was appointed. Membership in this club Is ono of the college honors, ub only students who display ability In English are invited to join. Dr. Greenlaw, the former head of the English department, sent a very interesting letter to the society, which was read.

Ho recommended tho study of modern thought and criticism in the good magazines for the coming year. Several reports were rend. MIhu Ruth Cual was elected secretary. Die Bortenrunde held Its first meeting on Wednesday, and plans for tho year were laid. Fran Von Ende Is to a course of lectures, lllustrnted with Inn-tern slides.

Also, a lecture In to be given in the early part of December, by Ludwlg Fulda (tho author of "The This is to be followed by a reception. The first students' meeting for the year whs held on Thursday. Miss Janet Mccracken was elected delegate to the convention of the Intercollegiate Association, to be held at Swarthmoro College. The freshman executives elected were Miss Sharpe and Miss Gracer. At a meeting of Le Cerclo Francals, Miss Dutcher was unanimously elected president; Miss Irwin, secretary, and Miss Price, treasurer.

A ten Is to be given in tho near fuluro by this society. Homo-mado French and fudge will be moug "tuoBo prubcut." V2T His Running Mate, Irene Bos-trom, Was Also Elected. STUDENTS CAST 2,420 VOTES. An Exciting Afternoon at the Big Seventh Avenue School Result Was Expected. "Gil" Ackerman was yesterday elected president of the General Organization of Manual Training High School by a vote, of 1,478 to 933 for Smith.

The polling of so lurge a majority of the total vote wag totally unexpected, although many believed that he would win. His runuing mate, Irene Bostrom, was also elected by a handsomemajority. Tho vote stood: Bo-iroiu. Mardette Frost, 1,065. Os-sie Parteette and Richard Lahey wero elected student members of the executive hoard, the latter by a very narrow mar-gbln.

Joseph W. Oliver, Agnes W. Wilson and Hally M. Prentis were the successful candidates for the faculty positions on the executive board. Yesterday afternoon marked the height of poster work and general speaking was done and the array of posters and other apparntus designed to attract attention was bewildering.

Ackerman's enterprising friends provided a cage with a chipmunk In it which spun the wheel. On thootitside of the cage was a label "I'm working hard for Ackerman." Whatever may have happened to Smith, ho will at least have the consolation of knowing that a new ice crea.n creation has been named after Ibrn. A large poster advertised the fact: "Big Ben Creation, Be. Get it at Welch's." Ao someone had provided an imitation telescope labelled "Manual's Bright Star." When one looked into it there was Smith. The first returns received were favorable to Smith.

Next cume the vote of the Boys Annex at Duffield and Johnson streets, which turned the tide, und at no other time were Ackerman's chances seriously in danger. The same is true for Irene Bostrom. The students assembled in the yard were very demonstrative and frequently a lot of youngsters would run around in a circle while stentorian sounds of "Yea. Smith" and 'Yea, Acker-man" filled the sir. Bugles, cowbells and other noisy Instruments abounded.

times streamers were thrown into the air and on the whole all who stayed had a fine time. CLASON WINS AT BAY RIDGE Defeats Hubert Reardon, the' Present Incumbent. Bay Ridge High School elected the following general organization officers at the election hold yesterday: Samuel Clas-on, presldetil: R. Lee Grisson, vice president, each with a vote of 440 votes; Becky Gantz, secretary, with 406 votes. Mr.

O'Connell of the faculty was unanimously elected treasurer- Clason Is the present business manager of tbe school magazine, "Maroon and White." His opponent. Hubert Reardon, was Inst term elected on an Independent ticket, but this year, after re-noralnatlon in the regular way by the school caucus, was defeated. The presence of an Independent man In the field mny have gone some dlstr toward accomplishing bis defeat. REWARD FDR GRADUATES Special Prize for Members of January Classes. Editor Brooklyn Dally Eagle: We, the undersigned, were on the Honor Roll In the 8B boys class of Public School No.

129 last month. It is impossible for us to get the silver medal offered by The Eagle to the pupils who are on the Honor Roll from September to June, 1914, as we will be graduated this January, and then there will be no chance for us to be on the honor mil after January. Will you offer a special prize for Jad-untlng pupils who go out this January? If so, will you kindly advise us as soon as possible? FRED OSCHM ANN. WILLIAM K. HUTSON, Jr.

KENNETH MITCHELL. OLDAKER. Lexington nvenue, October 9, 1913. The Brooklyn Eaglo will present a reward to nil pupils in the Brooklyn and Queens schools who will graduate in Ju-uory, and whose names appear on The Engle Honor Roll each month from October to January, inclusive. The last Honor Roll of this lerm will be printed on the last school day of or early, in February.

The rule which provides that all Honor Roll pupils shall keep Ihe coupon containing their names, grades and school numbers, with the signatures of their teachers, will hold good for the graud-tites of the January class. The Eagle expects to be called upon by a large number for the reward, the character of which has not yet been determined; but whatever it Is, it will be well worth keeping. Next Monday's Eagle will contain an article by Dr. William J. Morrison Principal of Public School No.

I There will be also an Indian phantasy, i staged for the occasion by Mrs. A. Minnie Hurts Henninger, who is identified with the work of the Children's Educational Theater. A large attendance Is expected PACKER Packer Institute will be in session, as usual, on Monday of next week. The celebration of Columbus Day took place chiefly Friday and consisted of such exorcises as could be conducted In connection with the various classes.

The only exercise in which the whole school participated was at the flag saluto in tho chapel. Tho selection in honor of Columbus was adapted from an address by former Senator Chnuncey M. Depew, and waH delivered by Helen Parker, president of the Junior On Thursday afternoon the Athletic Association elected officers for the year.

In the fourth academic class, the following officers have been elected: President, Charlotte Stege; vice president, Marie Flory; secretary, Helen Otis; treasurer, Helen Sargent.

The construction of the canon form in music was the subject of Mr. Woodman's expository remarks preceding the organ recital on Tuesday morning, when one of the numbers played was "The Cantilena" (Canon), by Salome. On Wednesday evening about 100 of the teachers nnd students of Packer and their friends accepted the invitation of the Alexander Campbell Milk Company to visit their Brooklyn establishment. POLY At a meeting of the Poly Dramatic Association, tho officers for the year were elected. Jesse Fishcl, president; Harvey Sand, vice president; Fred Moe, treasurer, and Roblontz, secretary, were tho officers chosen.

The Mechanical Engineering Society hag scheduled for October 1" a trip to the Bethlehem Steel Works. About twenty will take the trip, which will be in charge of Professor F.nnls. The sophomore class has been unable to keep secret the fact that they are going to hold a smoker In the near future. It is pretty well understood who the leaders of the fresh, are, and no doubt they will all be guests of the class of 191K.

The sophs, have things much their own way this year, so very little opposition is expected In the carrying out of their plans. The Mermaid Club held Its first meeting of the season last Friday, and arranged a tentative programme for the year. A. H. Cnllnghon Is president, and Jack Burnott, secretary.

PENNSYLVANIA Philadelphia. October 10 Harold Bal-com, tho old Erasmus runner and now a freshman at the University of Pennsylvania, pulled a tendon tn his right leg while practicing on Franklin Field on Tuesday, and will he out of all track work for at least two weeks. Coach Or-ton expects him to be back in shape for the freshman track meet, which comes the first week In November. Very few of the Brooklyn freshmen have as yet been pledged to fraternities. This is no doubt due to the fact that ten of the twenty-three fraternities arc in an agreement prohibiting the pledging of men until the first week in December.

Beta Theta Pi. which is not in the agreement, has pledged Holman Evans, the captain of basketball at Erasmus for two years, and in his senior year was picked as the all-scholastic forward of New York. Wallace Glass, a sophomore In the engineering department, has left for his Brooklyn home to attend the funeral of his brother, George Kenneth Glass, who was killed In the recent automobile accident at Bayside.

Foddy, former captain of Poly Prep baseball team; Robert S.

Lewis, Boys High; Harold Schnackenburg, Commercial, nnd Ralph T. Smith, Brooklyn High School. The Normal School of Domestic Science are not as fortunate, having only one representative from Brooklyn Miss Viola T. Davis, Manual, '13, but what the Normal School lacks in quantity Is more than made up for in quality, as Miss Davis carried off the office of secretary of the Junior class by a unanimous vote. Football is In full sway, and the team Is working earnestly and vigorously every day, determined to carry off the majority of honors.

Ralph T. Smith of Brooklyn, has been elected captain and plays halfback, and Is doing bis best to get his men In condition to win tbe opening game at Massena Springs Saturday, October 11.
