WON BY II T
Referee Cabanne's Ruling Deprived
the n. n. A. Of an Opportun-
ity TO Score.

The M. M. A. team played Smith
Academy a game of foot ball a
~Sportsman's Park in st. Louis las
Saturday. The Post Dispatch says il
regard to the game:
The only unpleasant feature oil
the game was Referee Cabanne's de.
cision in taking the ball from the
Mexicos for off-side play when they
were within a yard of their adver.
saries' goal. 1t would have been
more commendable had he put them
back five yards, as he could have
done under the rules. 1t deprived
the visitors of their only chance OF
scoring, and the decision was the
more unealled for as both teams
were ''off side" when the visitors
were penalized.
Smiths opened the game and
worked the flying wedge for a gain
of fifteen yards. Then they backed
the center, forcing the ball yard by
yard until Boogher was pushed
across the line ten minutes after play
began. Hammet missed the try
goal. Score: Smith 4: Mexico O..
The military boys repeated the
tactics of their opponents, but lost
the ball on downs. Then Smith took
the ball and pushed it half way
across the field. Francis went
around into an open field, scoring
the second touchdown. Hammet
kicked goal. Score: Smith 10, Mex
leo O.
The half ended with the ball down
near Mexico's goal.
The second half was stubbornly
contested and the visitors would
have redeemed themselves had not
the referee taken the ball from them
for off side play. They were less
weighty than the Smiths but forced
the ball by small gains to within a
yard of their adversaries' goal.
After repeated warnings to both
sides the referee instead of sending
the visitors back five yards made
them give up the ball. Smiths took
the ball and Boogher carried it out
thirty yards. 1t never got within
either sides twenty-ive.yard line
after that.
The Missouri Military Academy
boys were playing their first game
and were, of course, a little excited
at first. After they had been at it
for a few minutes, though, they got
down to hard work and for the rest
of the game they out played the
Smith team. The M. M. AIS will
have a return game with the Smith
team in this city Thanksgiving day,
and will also play a team from the
University in Columbia next Mon
day.

with evergreens and flowers. A large
arch was erected in front of the pull
pit beneath which stood the bridal
party and on either side stood the
ushers. The church was filed to
overlooking with friends and rela-
tives of both contracting parties.
After the ceremony, which was most
impressive, the happy couple took

able in every respect, was partici-
pated in at the residence of the
BRIDES sister, Mrs. DR.. w. F. Tay-

JOE e. VIC BARTH.
The PrOtracted Meeting,

The protracted meeting at the Pres
byterian church is still in progress.
The following is a very brief synopsis
of the ermon preached last night:
Luke 1910, "For the son of man is
come to seek and to save that which
was lost" Gods word teaches that
all out of Christ are lost. Sin lies not
so much in outward acts, that is but
the full fruit of sin, the loot lies in the
heart. All criminals are sinners but
all sinners are not criminals. A crime
is a transgression of the law of man,
a sin of the law of God. The wonder
full thing about it was that Christ, the
offended one,s should come to seek the
offender. There ought to be nothing
strange that man had come to seek
Christ, but the wonder is Christ has
come to seek man. The world never
appreciated the worth of human soul
until taught by God. The ancients
counted a life az nothing. The life of
the gladiator depended upon the
whims of the spectators. The death of
the slave mattered not to the Master
more than the worth of his service.
The best man that ever walked the
earth was sold for thirty pieces of sill
yer (Sl6.96) the price paid to the mas
ter for the slave torn to pieces by an
animal. The very disciples of Christ
did not appreciate the worth of a soul
until after they were taught by the
spirit, for they marvelled that he talk
ed with the woman; that he kept COM
pany with the publicans and sinners.
But God says the soul of man is worth
a universe, worth the price of the
death of his own son. "What shall it
profit a man if he gains the whole
world and lose his own soul?" "God
SO loved the world that he gave his
only begotten son that whosoever be-
| lieveth on Him shall have everlasting
life" The text suggests the great pos
| sibilities of a soul, possibilities of shame
and glory. Mans spiritual life is not
like the horizontal line. He can not
live in a stationary state. It is like
the vertical line, he must go either up
or down, he must be getting better or
worse. The condition of life makes no
| difference. "The son of man came to
seek and to save that which is lost"
There is no exception, high, low, rich,
| poor, all are lost; all can be saved if
they will but put their trust in Christ.
Services at 10 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.
The public is cordially invited to at
| tend.
