NEW YORK, November 4..A newBtar has arisen In the football flrnia-

,,r mont. It coinos out of the West.NotreDame. The unexpected victory of theIndiana eleven over West P,olnt yester¬day disclosed play of such a powerfulcharacter that it gives promise of en-abllhg the South Uend team to gothrough the season without a defeat tostain Its record. In that case, theWesterners will be candidates for the

"r*, premier honors of the gridiron for tho^ current season.

* There was only the difference be¬tween a touchdown and a goal on onoside and a safety on the other, but Itwas enough. It showed that the win-

- nors had tho power to cross a fiercelydefended goal line. The touchdownwas dramatically won too. It indi¬cated that the Indiana collegians had

. the football sense to seize the crucialopportunity, the daring to put a bril¬liantly conceived play Into Instant exe¬cution, and the power to overcome des-

* perate opposition from a team that hasbeen hailed as one of the season's best.

. Likeewlse, the victory was won on aforeign field, with the encouraging

»V cries from a biased throng rattling in** the ears of the invaders, and spurring

on their opponents.V As a matter of fact, it was a case

of too much Brandy. The right halfback of the Notre Dame boys wentthrough the hole wedged by his team¬mates «*ith the slippery ease withwhich three fingers of liquor slidedown tho throat of the confirmed tip¬pler. It was a great play and meritedvictory. L/ook out for Notre Dame dur¬ing the balance of the season.West Point showed a team of con¬

siderable power, but it was power inthe rough. Of finished teamwork therewas little. On the other hand, whenNotre Dame found itself in the secondhalf there was small doubt of Its abil¬ity to pierce the Army line. Tho elevendisplayed the able coaching of JessieHarper. It was a powerful, well-bal¬anced, smooth-worlcimr machine.

Syr*ruNp'r Victory Surprise*.Outside of this game the day's con¬

tests were not particularly attractive.Syracuse's defeat of Brown was ratherunexpected, and was due possibly tothe fact ^that the Providence elevenhad been through a gruelling contest

». with Colgate the week before, and hadnot yet recovered its wind. Syracuseuncovered a great set of bucks In Mee-han. Brown, Funslerwnld and Barsha,who ripped and torp their way throughthe Brown line with astonishing case.One of the features of this game wasthe brilliant work of Williams, the J

^Brown end. A negro of great speedand strength, he bids fair to take onthe honors won last year by that othergreat negro player. Pollard.Other games in the East went as

expected. Penn smothered Lnfavette.Pittsburgh did the same to Westmin¬ster, and Cornell showed some ln:-provetwnr <n ks t

Carnegie Tech.In the West there was a surprise

r or two. Chicago was held to ji score-less tie by Illinois, which showedrather that Stnggs' team has not yetfound Itself, rather than any excep-tlonal ability In the Illinois team. WithOhio State, these two elevens are nowthe only undefeated ones in the "BigTen Conference." Michigan againshowed that it has an extraordinaryeleven by its overwhelming victoryover Kalamazoo; while Minnesota wasl>ut out of the running for honors bythe success of Wisconsin. Northwest¬ern and Ohio State ran Into the win¬ning column. The latter team is thisyear showing strength that. If main-talned, will entitle it to considerationas one of the leaders In the West, andpromises better things for next year.

In response to nn appeal from tlicWar Department's Commission onTraining Camp Activities, Julius S.My rick as noting president tins address¬ed a lettor to tho members of theUnited States National Lawn TennisAssociation, urging them to contributetennis supplies for tho use of men inmiliary camps. About 100 tennis courtshave been constructed at several train¬ing camps, but no provision is made fortheir equipment and their usefulnesscannot be realized unless tho equipmentis forthcoming at once.

Dr. Joseph E. Itaycroft, of Princeton,who is In charge of this branch ofthe commission's activites. placed thesituation before thi officers of the Nil-tional Association with such force as10 enlist their cordial co-operation,t'onsenuently an appeal is being madeto clubs, and through them to theirmembers throughout the country, forgifts of equipment. They are urged tonot together serviceable supplies atonce and forward them to Dr. ftaycroft,who will attend to their distribution.

"Nets, balls, rackets, these are thethings most wanted," says Mr. My-rick's letter. "Don't discard a lot ofworn-out stufY, but And tho things yourclub can do without and put them towork in the camps. There is a bigneed for this equipment, and it is ur-Bent. You may he certain that any¬thing devoted to this cause will bewisely used. Make your shipment toDr. Joseph 12. Itaycroft, Princeton, N.J., and he will see that it s promptlyand properly distributed. This is a

practical job which tlie government re¬quests the national assoeation to un¬dertake at once. May 1 ask that yourresponse be prompt and generous."The Commission on Training Camp

Activities lias charge of the athleticsports in camp and emphasizes theirimportance, both for the diversion theygive the men and for the increasedmilitary efficiency resulting fromsports. Its work has been handicappedbecause of lack of funds, and for thisreason an appeal is being made to the'members of the National Tennis Asso¬ciation. to meet an urgent need.

INFLUENCE OF CHRISTIANITY

Progress of Mirny Countries Dueto Work of Missionaries, HaysKpcalior, Who Reviews Tlicir Workin All Parts of World.

Tho monthly address at Union Theo¬logical Seminary was given last nightby Hev. John Nelson Mills, D. D., ofWashington. Ills subject being: "Inter¬national .Service Through Missions."

Dr. Mills bpgan his address by sayingthat this wns the (lay of international-Ism. that tho nations wero bound upwith each other to such an extent thatwhen disaster befell one' of tliom allfelt It. There was a community of In¬terest: and that as no man llveth tohlntnelf. so no nation llveth to Itself.Kipling's saying: "Eust Is east and wostIs west," might have been true 0110day. but It is not true now. The worldIs one. Christianity Is International orIt Is not Christian. All nntlonB mustbe Christien or none will be.Although the first purpose of tho

missionary is to convert the heathen,he Is founding colleges and hospitals,educating the blind and the deaf anddumb, caring for l«*pers and the Insane,and taking the lead In every mannerof reform, such as child marriage nndsuttee in India, foot-binding and theuse of opium in China, aud the exces¬sive employment of women and chil¬dren In Japan. He Is the almoner ofrelief funds when there Is famine, andtho Intermediary when there Is troublebetween the foreigners and natives.General Charles Warren. Oovernor ofNatal, says: "Kor tho preservation ofpeaco between colonists nnd natives,onn missionary Is worth a battalion ofsoldiers."japan's pnor.nicss

m;i: "O missionariesIt was foreign missionaries Vho

opened up China, Korea and Africa tothe world. And such influence did tlieyhave In Japan that 1'rlnco Ito said:"Japan's progress and development arelargely due to the Inlluence of mis¬sionaries, exerted In tho rlt'ht directionwhen Japan was first studying theouter world."Every national college and university

In China Is presided over either by aChristian missionary or by a graduateof a mission school. Many of the lead¬ing men of Japan have studied undermissionaries, nmong them CountOkuma, tho late Prime Minister. Itwas William Ooodfollow, a missionary,

who formulated the public school ira>tein of Argentina, and another mis¬sionary, Thomas B. Wood, who did .like service for Kcuador. One-half otthe leading politicians of Bulgaria andRoumanla are graduates of Robert Col*lego at Constantinople,

It was missionaries who made the.Sandwich. FIJI and other Islands of thePacific safe for the truder. It 1b tho;missionary that has introduced';watches, sowing muchinos, flour andjbath tubs In the great nations of thoOrient. "Without tho missionary,there woUld be no trade with tho In¬terior of China," said a visiting com¬mission of the Chamber of Commerceof San Francisco. "After he has beenon tho field twonty-flvo years, a mis¬sionary is worth $00,000 a year to thecommerce of Great Britain," said aloading statesman of that country notlong aeo.John "W.
