The Williams RECORD VOL. XXIV R. P. I. EASILY DEFEATED IN SECOND HOCKEY GAME Capt. Van Gorder Scores Seven Goals —11-0 Victory The Williams hockey team showed a reversal of form over last week’s play and defeated R. P. I. by the score of 1) to 0 on the Weston Field rink Saturday afternoon. The visitors were forced on the defensive during the entire game, seldom receiving opportunities to score and failing to use them because of lack of aggressiveness, and the fast work by Although the the Williams defense. Purple was not opposed to as good a seven as in the first game of the season, the improvement in team play and in- dividual work was noticeable, the for- wards especially having developed rap- contest. Van idly since the M. A. C. Gorder was easily the star of the after- noon, shooting seven goals and repeat- edly carrying the puck the length of the rink by clever stick work and dodging Gillette also showed up well and was particularly aggressive when in the op- territory. H. F. Winter and ponents’ G. T. Curtis played hard games and justified the recent changes made in the line-up. Michael displayed abil- ity both on offense and defense. The game was roughly contested throughout. During the first half Peterson injured his nose by colliding with an opponent while carrying the puck down the rink, but was able to resume play and fin- ished the game. Neither side scored for some time after the start of the contest, although the pick was continually in Rensselaer’s territory. Gillette tallied first from scrimmage and shortly afterward Van Gorder shot another goal from scrim- third mage, unaided from the face-off. He again score-.i by bringing the puck around from behind the netting on a quick shot. In the second half Gillette scored on a pass from Van Gorder, Michael fol- lowed this with a goal on a pass from Gillette, and Van Gorder shot his fourth from scrimmage. Two more goals goal by Van Gorder, one by Gillette on a from Winter and a spectacular pass tally by Van Gorder unaided ended the scoring. immediately scoring a 11, R. P.

The Pennsylvania team went down to defeat before Princeton on Saturday evening by the score of 7—0, in the first game on the Princeton schedule.

But The December “Alumni Review” the Williams The main features of Alumni Review for December, which has recently appeared, are an article by Prof.- Russell, entitled “The Football Situation- at Williams”, and “Recol- lections of Williams College Sixty Years Ago” by Rev. Dr, Norman Seaver ’54. The number also contains a picture of the new infirmary in process of con- struction as it appeared on- December 5. The editor in “A College’s Duty to the Public” comments, in a satirical vein, upon the erroneous notion which is prevalent to the effect that the chief aim of athletics is to furnish amusement and recreation for the public. The closing paragraph of Prof. Rus- sell’s article on football is printed below in full: ‘’What we want in the first place is more football material out of which to develop a successful the more important matter is the adequate training of the players we already have. training must be individual and That must begin with the rudiments of the game, and this training must cover a system of complete, varied and per- fectly working plays. Nothing less than such a system can give us a fair for the peculiarity prospect of success, of our situation is that we have not at present, nor are we likely to have play- ers of great natural ability, or players who are already well trained; our Will- iamsplayers for themost part must learn the game from the start. Most of those who bring experience here, have formed bad habits of play, to break off which is a more difficult task than to form new habits. Now, to give our players the necessary training which is demanded of modem football is plainly beyond the ability of any one coach, be he the greatest genius in the football world. What is needed is at least two perman- ent coaches, a head coach and an assist- ant coach, who thoroughly knows the system to be developed, and who knows the essential elements of football, and who will see to it that every player that he will not knows them so well forget them in a game.” Makers of...

The points introduced to prove this second contention,that a man’s income does not form a fair basis for the deter- mination of his ability to pay, seemed the most convincing of his argument. They emphasized the wide dis:repancies in conditions for each individual whose income is to be taxed, the varying high and low cost of living, and the greater demands placed upon the resources of the man with a large family to support himself over one who to consider. ’ll, who continued the debate for Williams, began at once with refutation of the negative’s contentions-. the percentage of He explained that taxation need not be immoderately large, and that rebates are expressly provided for in the English law to be granted to men with large families.

He ascribed the recent deficit in the treasury wholly to our faulty bud- getary system and to the division of financial control among several com- mittees and officials.

Our present system of tax- tax inelastic, ation is the income would be elastic. It would also be more just in proportioning the burden taxation among the rich and poor. of In answering these contentions of the affirmative, Pitcher ’13 who opened the debate for the negative, claimed that the greater economy now being practiced in the use of government funds and the income of $100,000,000 from the new plan of that will result instead of sale of public land" rental the losses from reduction in will offset the tariff. for Am- laid stress on the practicability herst, He asserted that of the tax system in the the failure of individual states is no indication of its failure. The expense probable national budgets of the government vary greatly from year toyear and Congress should be given power to impose any adequate tax that it may find necessary to meet He stated these varying demands. that the tax would not be very difficult to collect, as 80 per cent, of it may be reached by stoppage at source, and that it would cost one per cent, less to collect than the internal revenues now do. Forbes ’ll then gave English author- the income tax ity to the effect has not been a success in Great Britain. The method of stoppage at source is not nearly so effective in practice as it He objected to the appears in theory. it does not tax on the grounds that income but his gross tax a man’s real income, that it is enormously expensive to collect and that it invites dishonesty where in a large number of the tax cannot be collected by stoppage the income at source. To show that tax would not meet with the same suc- cess here that it has in England, Forbes asserted that the territory of the United States is too vast to make possible the collection of the tax and that we have the vast army of special officials not which England employs to collect its income tax. cases that The Rebuttal The rebuttals for both sides were noticeably weak.

The game from foul opened with a rush, Hale scoring the first goal after dribbling the ball the length of the floor. Victor followed with a successful free throw from a foul called on the seniors. Oakley caged the next basket by a pretty one-handed throw while under close guard. Fast team work enabled Gilmore to score and Wetherell and Hale each broke away from guard for a basket apiece be- fore the half closed. In the second period, the sophomores covered their men closely and prevented 1911 from scoring more than one basket,—a fast goal by Wetherell thrown immediately after play began. Victor, who played by far the strongest game for 1913, scored the sophomores’ only goal from the floor during this period. Gilmore rf, Ig, R. V. Lewis Hale If, rg, Mygatt Mason c, c, Victor If, L. L.
