Eckels, who was comptroller of the currency during the administration of President Cleveland. Mr. Eckels is now president of the Commercial National bank of Chicago.

Mr. McCurdy's resignation was submitted to the board in the following letter; "During a number' of years past, as most of the board are aware," I have from time to time expressed my. intention of relinquishing the, position of president of the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York upon attaining 70 years of age. "In June last when my annual term of office expired, having the previous January reached 70 years of age I wished to carry out my plan and decline a re-election to the presidency but the serious disturbance which previously had arisen in life Insurance affairs rendered it, as I believed, my duty to remain at my post. "I therefore accepted election for another year.

I now find that in attempting to serve this company for the full term of my office I overestimated my physical powers and my physicians advise that unless I Immediately retire from 'active business occupations my health will become so further impaired as to jeopardize my life. "Under these conditions I ask ihe board to accept my resignation as president of the company." UNANIMOUS FOR HEALTH. The resignation was accepted unanimously and the trustees passed a resolution in which "they express hope that much needed rest may afford the- rest requisite for such recovery as may be hoped for at this time of life and assure him of their best wishes for his future and happiness In circumstances more congenial to his present tastes and inclinations.

New York, Nov. 29. The resignation ofi Richard A. MeCurdy as president "of the Mutual Life Insurance company was the most important development of the life insurance" situation to-day. President McCurdy's management of the affairs of the.

company has been the subject of "inquiry by the legislative investigating committee which brought ut the fact that during his presidency large commissions were paid to his son, Robert II. MeCurdy, and his son-in-law Louis A. Thebaud. The outcome of the struggle to secure control of the 'Mutual Life Insurance company is awaited with interest. THANKSGIVING One interesting feature of the insurance investigation was the issue of a "Thanksgiving proclamation" to the policyholders by Senator "William M.

Armstrong, chairman of the investigation committee, in which he advised them against allowing their policies to lapse because of anything revealed in the in vestigation and told them they are in better position now than before the investigation began and that the committee would recommend legislation to safeguard their interests. M'CLELLAND LIVED ON THE MU TUAL. Charles P. McClelland, a former State senator from West Chester county, testi fied before the committee to-day that he lived in the Life Insurance com pany's house in Albany, conducted by An drew C. Fields, in 1903, while he was a sen ator and member of the insurance com mittee of that body.

He stated that It never'" occurred to him as improper as he and Fields were old friends. It was shown that in several years while Mr. McClelland was not a senator he was retained by the Mutual Life Insurance company at $3,000 a year and Mr. Hughes had much difficulty in obtaining a statement of what he did to earn that retainer." He said he appeared before legislative committees to argue against the savings bank tax and franchise tax bills; Mr. McClelland had just stated that be was never employed by the Equitable life Assurance society, when Mr.

Hughes showed him a voucher for $3,500 paid by that society the firm of which Mr. Mc Clelland is a member. It was written in Tiis handwriting, but Mr. McClelland said he could not remember it. It was credited to a "Water company account" as were also other vouchers paid by the Equitable society to William Johnson and Charles T.

Lewis amounting to $6,509. HAMILTON WILL APPEAR. 'John CM'cCall son of the president of in the New York Life Insurance company, told the committee to-day that Andrew Hamilton the legislative agent who got large sums of money without an account- ins from the New York Life Insurance company had been located in Paris and that he had received a message from President McCall asking him to come to New York, appear before the committee and render an accounting of his ex penses. To induce bim to do that Mr. McCall said he was going to start for Paris on Saturday.

The committee with all its counsel had a protracted session at the close of the day's hearing after which it was an nouneed that the committee would com plete the investigation by December 31 as it Is due to report to the new Legisla ture in the first week in January. The committee will sit five days next week. and through the Christmas holiday week in order to clean up the work that is yet to be done.

'Dud" Drake, the Varsity Coach, Writes of Past Season for i Free Press. THE DIFFICULTIES FACED Beef Lacking In the Line No Second Eleven Mem Irregular about Prac- tlce Unfortunate Injuries Too Many Big Game. Individual Work.

At the request of the Free Press. G. B. Diaku of the University of Pennsylvania, coach of 'the foctball teum, has written the following review of the season, which contains many good suggestion the university would do well to follow out; i "In reviewing the past season of ihe University of Vermont I will point out a few of the difficulties' wo had to overcome in oi-aer to make even the siiowing we did. W'e were greatly handicapped by the lack of heavy, aggresive line men.

Many of the men upon' wbcm wc were relying for the nucleus of our team were so crippled mentally that we were compelled to put inferior men in i heir places. This Ce'syed the development of the team, and even more so because the team had to fce rounded out at once, because of the number of big games scheduled for the tarly part the season. As soon as the doubtful men had attained sufficient standing in their studies to be eligible to play we had to change our iint up. OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME. "The greatest problem of all was to And and develop a pair of tackles.

For a man to learn to piay tackle well in one year is almost impossible. More is required of him than of, any other man in the line. He must have, played the game bef ore and he must be able to stand punishment and fdve in return as much as be receives. In addition he must be able to tell the moment after the opposing center lias snapped the ball where his opponents are going to attack his own line. On defense he must use his hands, feet, eyes and "After the season -was well started we found three iren who possessed some of these rec.vu'site3.

Under different circum stances these men might have. made much better tackles, but neither Skin ner. Ward nor Grow were in perfect con dition during the whole season. 7 "Perhaps one of the most serions draw backs ef all was the less of In the game, the one he played, he preved himself, nxre tlaji a match for bis 'opponent', although "he was greatly outweighed. Some of our men were constantly get- ling liurL Others were late for practice or did not report at 'all.

Still others committed a mere serious cfiense by doing themselves fend the whole team the Injustice of not training as they should. It was impos-sible to rely upon a sec- end team, without which it 5s useless to attempt the development of a f.rst class eleven. And so, with these and other obstacles, our idea of moulding eleven of the best players in the university into ft, machine that would run smoothly Mas frustrated. THE RIGHT SPIRIT LACKING. Somebody is to blame for all these things.

It is unfortunate that the medical department does not open sooner so that its material could be available for the team. But what material there was avail able should certainly have been made the most of. "Every student the ccite-ge was anx ious to see his team win but unwilling to sacrifice anything-to help make it win. This accounts largely for the failure -of teams In the smaller colleges. The player who is rot regular and punctual at prac tice cr who does not train faithfully Is of more service on the side lines than on the gridiron.

I "There 3s no reason why Vermont should not rank much higher in football circles if every student who Is physically able would try for the team, and if every man who does try would faithful to training rules and never be late or miss a practice. CONDITION OF PLAYERS POOR. "There was not a team we played the season that upon which we could not gain. This was almost entirely due to our back field and to the judgment of Captain Gerrish in giving the- signals. Although iwr back field was much stronger than our lino, it 'was rot as -strong as would Pave bee had there been better mbstitutes to push the regubir backs for tbeir positions.

"The team was rover in condition to play fast, hard football fcr rmy length of time. Football is a strenuous game and requires hard work from the man whoJ tries to condition himself to stand a hard-fought pamo. The man who does not play his best in signal practice and 'in scrimmag-j work against a second team will be apt to shirk in regular game. Ho may have the inclination to his best he cannot hav the endurance. TOO MANY BIG GAMES.

"But it would have been Impossible to keep the team in for every game of the season, since there wore too trany big games scheduled. The men wnt into many of these big games witu the Idea 1 hat they were going to lose and therefore did not. play their best. And then the men become so excited that they seemed to forget all they ever knew about the game and it was r.ot until the second half that they came out of this trance and realized that they were as good as their opponents if they play their best This was the case In the Amherst game, when Vermont outplayed Amherst In the second half. If Vermont would overcome this apparently small matter and If every man would do his best, she should have no reason to fear teams like Wealeyan and Amherst.

A few fvictories over these teams would vtring yermont Into prominence in the athletic wcrld. The manager te more careful in arranging the schedules that he does not have too many bfi for they are discouraging to thteam. The team s-houlfl grirtuallv detlopfd lo final climax and the players made to understand that they are to put forth the best efforts toward winning one or two big games. SHOULD WIN MOST; OF. BIG GAMES.

"The games at home should be such as arouse the greatest enthusiasm. The Fort Ethan Allen tni, under the very able coaching of Captain Smythers, is a. very formidable ard enthusiastic m'al and should not be left off tho schedule, "The season should not be considered a success until all or a large majority of the biy games are -won.

"I hava been asked by the Free Press to jiay a few words about each player. 1 sluiU speak of every man as he impressed me ns a football player. It is not neces sary for a man to possess all the qualities deemed the public as those he must 1 f.ssess to become a great football player. "It has been demonstrated that beef is not essential to the firt class player, al though a certain amount of it hi essential to the good line man. But in addition to this the good player must have brains.

endurance, nerve, swiftness of thought and action, and that spirit, or whatever you wish to call it, that hrea all of these endowments into action. DODGE AND FERRIN. ENDS. "At left end Dodge was a hard, earnest worker. Because of this he was and is a valuable man.

Toward the end of the season he improved rapidly and if be de veloped speed and alertness he will make a very goqd man. "Ffefrhj rjlay'i a remarkable game the whole season.
