The curtain was rung down upon Trinity football for the season of 1912 with a 10 to 0 victory over the Tufts eleven, on Tufts' Oval last Saturday. The Gold and Blue team put up one of its best games of the season in this final contest, displaying a smashing attack that continually carried the fight into the enemy's territory and maintaining an ironclad defense. The principal feature of the game was the brilliant all-around work of the Blue and Gold backfield, with Sage as the brightest star of the galaxy. Trinity's clever quarter-back made the only touchdown of the game in the first period, and drop-kicked a pretty goal from the field in the last quarter, scoring, in all, nine out of Trinity's ten points. Moreover, Sage showed re- markable skill and speed in running back punts, averaging from twenty to twenty-five yards' gain on each punt he caught. He was also one of the Gold and Blue's biggest ground- gainers, going through the Tufts line time and again for big gains. Hudson, in spite of his bad knee, displayed an unmistakable return to his old-time all-American form. He ripped the Tufts line to shreds with his powerful plunges, the Medford colle- gians finding him about as easy to stop as a well-directed juggernaut. Hudson also put up a strong defensive game, stopping everything that came his way. Much credit is due the rest of the team as well. Captain Collett, playing his last game for the Blue and Gold, put up a truly remarkable game on the defensive, no Tufts gains being made through his territory. It was also the last contest of John Moore's football career, and Trinity's plucky left end played his usual aggressive and heady game, always in the thick of the fight, and allowing nothing to get around his end. Lawlor was a big ground-gainer for Trinity, both through the line and around the wings, while Cole at right end, displayed his usual speed and was an important factor in the interference. The Trinity line showed considerable strength, especially the center trio, J. A. Moore, Kinney, and Castator. All three opened good holes for . the backs to plunge through, and Moore played his usual star game at defensive full, judging every play unerringly, and conclusively proving himself one of the mainstays of the team. For Tufts , Captain Adams at fullback was the individual star, with left half-back Mitchell, and right tackle Bennett pressing him closely for the honors. Captain Adams' punts, several of which exceeded fifty yards, staved off a heavier Trinity score. Mitchell played a very fast game at left half, while Bennett's defensive work was excellent. Angell at right half got off his forward passes with great accuracy, but t_he Trinity defense broke up several of his best efforts. The game started with Tufts kicking off to Cole, who fumbled the ball and was downed as soon as he recovered it. Trinity failing to gain, Sage punted to the Tufts full-back who, on the next play returned the punt to Sage on his 35-yard line. Here Trinity began a steady advance. Collett gained 5 yards around left end and Lawlor made 7 more on a delayed pass, which gave Trinity first down. Hudson, by two successive plunges through center, gained 25 yards, Lawlor tore off 15 yards around right tackle, and then Sage, on a quarter-back run through center, dodged clear of the Tufts players and ran 25 yards for Trinity's touchdown. Kinney kicked goal. Tufts received the next kick-off, Adams running the ball back 20 yards. A forward pass to quarter failed when the quarter-back, Wilson, dropped the ball. Wilson then made a slight gain around left end, and on the next play captain Adams fumbled in receiving a delayed pass, but recovered the ball. Adams then punted to Sage, who ran back 20 yards before he was tackled by two Tufts men. Lawlor made 4 yards and a Tufts penalty for offside gave Trinity first down. Failing to make the required distance in the next three plays, Sage punted, tHe ball going off- side on Tufts 32-yard line. . Tufts made one first down and was then forced to punt, but the ball went outside, giving Trinity the ball on its own 45-yard line. Failure to gain, and a penalty for offside forced Trinity to punt, Adams receiving the ball on Tufts 45-yard line. Wilson made a slight gain and then Adams skirted left tackle for 20 yards. The next three plays netted Tufts only 5 yards and Adams tried to work a fake kick, but was thrown for a loss by Collett. The first period ended with Trinity in possession of the ball on its 45-yard line. Collett and Hudson started the next period with short gains and Sage punted to Mitchell, who made no gain for Tufts. Adams and Angell made 5 yards apiece but the next two plays were spilled for big losses, Adams finally kicking to Sage. The ball went 10 yards and then rolled behind the goal line. Trinity started a rush up the field from the 20-yard line. Lawlor, Hudson, and Sage totalled 23 yards through center. On the next play. Hudson fumbled but Lawlor recovered for Trinity. A forward pass to Cole gained 10 yards, another from Sage to Lawlor added 10 more, and three line bucks by Hudson gave Trinity its third successive first down. Here a forward pass was intercepted by Adams, giving Tufts the ball on its 30-yard line. Adams punted at once and Sage ran back 15 yards . He was tackled four times but threw off his opponents and ran clear across the field. Sage punted to Mitchell, who fumbled, and John Moore recovered the ball for Trinity on (Continued on page 9.)

"NOW THEN TRINITY"

Owing to. the holiday T):mrsday, there will be no Tripod on Friday. The next number will be issued on Tuesday, December 3.rd.

The meeting of the interfraternity committee on rushing rules, which last Thursday rejected the tentative rules previously drawn up, was very instruc­tive in many ways. A comparison of conditions at Trinity with other institutions revealed several differences in which, frankly, it seemed that Trinity was at a disadvantage. Of these perhaps the most important was that which relates to our rooming system.

One of the most rational objections to the proposed rushing rules was that under present conditions it would be practically impossible to carry them out, however good any fraternity's intentions might be. The reason is not hard to see. Fraternity life at Trinity forms so large a part of college life, and so great a proportion of the undergraduates fraternity men, that the college hands over to these organizations some of the work which in a great many places is the college's own duty. The college nominally assigns rooms, but how little it really has to do with assigning them. Nine times out of ten the room of a promising man is picked out for him by other undergraduates. Or even if the college does really assign a room to a man. In any one of most of the sections he would be brought immedi­ately into contact with the members of one crowd to the exclusion of all the others. Under conditions such as these

impartiality and neutrality is impossible no matter how passively a crowd may act toward a newcomer.

However one may be inclined to pooh­pooh interfraternity matters, whether from a position in authority or as an undergraduate, that fact remains that to a fraternity man his fraternity life is among the most important influences if not the most important brought to bear upon him. Trinity is pretty democratic and her intercourse, among her students and with outsiders, is broad. Yet he is a rarity who does not associate with his fraternity more than with all others. And there is no fault to be found with this phase of I!Onditions, for once a man classes a crowd, he is supposed to have selected a group of men as associates who are congenial, and ready complements to hts own character. But how about the man, who, in his first few days at college; is rushed hither and thither by one crowd and another, and pressed with a:fl offer to pledge here and an offer to pledge there? What time has he to think? What opportunity for calm judgment? None, very often! Who can blame the man who in the bewildering confusion of the rushing season at its warmest stage, accepts the first pledge given him? It is not his fault but the fault of the crowd which hurries him to a decision. But deciding whose fault it is doesn't remedy his condition. Those of you, who, happy in associations with the men for whom nature has fitted you can imagine yourselves in another crowd, can easily feel what might have been the result to you of a pledge other than you, in your good fortune, made when you came to college. Then figure to yourselves that there are and have been men in just that condition, compelled by the inflexibility governing fraternity membership, to spend four years with uncongenial associates. It is sufficient reason for the fair-minded to wish to equalize conditions for the entering men so that mistakes may be reduced to . a minimum. We do not wish to over-emphasize this, and all facts seem to point to the truth of the conditions here described.

Well, what are you going to do about it? Opposition to the rushing agree­ment was too general and in some directions too well founded to hope for remedies in the exact way therein outlined. Cannot the fraternities agree on some of the most necessary points? The sentiment against the habit of meeting trains seemed general and some ruling with regard to this might prove helpful. The date card, even if un­limited by the rules originally proposed, would help to obviate the confusion which is very frequent. But to give men time to think and choose rightly, that is most important. Why not have a day before which no pledges may be given or received? That would surely help.

The next move, and one which would help immensely, would be the establish­ment of freshman dormitories. The section system in its present form is pretty firmly established, but when Trinity gets a new dormitory, why not follow the excellent and democratic idea of other colleges, and give it over to the freshmen? That the sectional system itself, with its tendency toward the formation of cliques, and its over - emphasis on fraternity, has hardly enough advantage in pride of crowd to justify its existence. Mod­ification of it would be a step in the right direction.

Please do us the favor of thinking about this matter. Talk it over and get a few ideas about it, whether for or against it. Only so may we progress.

To Professional Men:

No class of men need life insurance more than do professional men. As a rule, the income of a professional man is largely, if not wholly, dependent on his brain, and when the activity of the mind ceases, his income ceases, or Ia at once greatly reduced.

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company

offers to the professional man who desires to assure his wife and children for life, or for a apecifled term of years, the continuance of a substantial part, at least, of the income to which they were accus­tomed during his lifetime, a contract perfectly suited to these needs.

For further information, address the Company or any of its agents.

Trinity 10, Tufts 0. Tufts' 20-yard line. Lawlor gained 10 yards, but Benive twice broke through the line and threw the next two plays for losses. Sage tried a drop­kick, but Bennett and Robbins blocked the ball just enough to deflect it to one side of the posts. The next play ran the end of the half.

In the second half Tufts tried desperately to score, employing forward passes repeatedly. O'Donnell received the kick-off for Tufts, and made 10 yards. A forward pass failed, due to a fumble, Tufts then made first down on short plays, but Adams was thrown for a loss on a fake kick and the ball went to Trinity on downs.

Here Trinity began another advance down the field, with Sage the chief ground-gainer. Two forward passes netted big gains but Tufts held on its 15-yard line, and Sage tried for a field goal, but failed, the ball going to Tufts on the 20-yard line. Tufts gained 15 yards on runs, and 20 on a forward pass, but the next two passes failed, and the period ended with Trinity in pos­session of the ball on its own 18-yard line, which was the nearest Tufts came to their goal.

The last quarter was full of thrills. Sage began by punting to Adams, who ran back 10 yards. A forward pass was received by Donnellan, who made 10 yards. The run came near being duplicated on the next play, but Angell's long pass went over the goal line and Donnellan fumbled. The play corrected is a touchback and Trinity had the ball on its own 20-yard line. Here Trinity was penalized 15 yards for holding and Sage punted to Mitchell, who ran back 10 yards. After a gain of 15 yards on the next three plays, a forward pass went offside and Trinity was given the ball. Hudson made 9 yards through center. Smith made 2 yards and first down, and Sage reeled off 20 through center. Lawlor and Hudson each made 2 yards and Sage by a 7-yard gain made first down. Trinity gained only 5 yards on the . next three plays, and with but 20 seconds to play, Sage kicked a field goal.

Tufts came very near scoring in the last period, when, after a gain of 10 yards by Adams, Wilson, who had been crouching on the side lines, received a long pass from Angell and ran 10 yards before Sage made a beautiful tackle which brought the runner down. This play ended the game.

Sunday Chapel.

Mr. Briggs was the speaker at the services in the chapel Sunday, taking "Human Guide-posts" as the subject of his address. He began by speaking of the "cities of refuge" maintained by the ancient Hebrews, to which the roads were kept plainly marked with many guide-posts. Nowadays, the speaker went on to say, we have, as the Refuge of the sinner, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World, and it is our duty to do that which may lead an erring soul to Him. Guide-posts such as the Apostles, the Prophets, the Martyrs, the Church, have done or are doing their work in showing the true way. Present events also point the road to Christ, such happenings as the recent journey through Tibet of a missionary and his wife, spreading the gospel. The fact that China has adopted a republican form of government indicates her desire to follow the footsteps of such a nation as the United States, which remitted her indemnity and stands as an advocate of the "open door."
