Professor Sears addressed the club.
After the chapel exercises this morning,
President Andrews introduced Rev.
Thomas ID. Anderson to address the stu
dents upon the Baptist churches and mis-
sions. DR.. Anderson spoke of the work
and opportunities for work that were
open to the students. He enumerated
the different churches, pointing out
those which were strong and those which
was especially weak and needed the help
which the students could give. He said
that in ears past he had asked some stu
dents why they went to a particular
church, and he had received good reasons
from some, and better from others. One
very frank reason which he had learned
was because there were lot OF pretty
girls at the particular church. He said
he did not consider this a bad reason.
However, he bad found a few that were
better. He mentioned the Broadway Bap-
tist Church as being In unique position
for the study Of applied Christianity, and
he urged that some OF the students take
advantage of this fact, and set TO work
lege life he said Is acknowledgment, but
II must be borne in mind that this Is not
the main end Of life. The main end OF
life is to benefit and develop mankind,
and the college student must be wary lest
he forget this aim, and become selfish,
and seek too much for his own develop
ment and pleasure. For, IL the college

later life in order to become noble.
tomorrow afternoon occurs the first
football game of the season on Lincoln
Field, between the Newton Athletic AS
sociation and Brown. This game will be
watched with much avidity by the stu
dents and alumni OF Brown, as much en-
thusiasm and dispute has arisen as to the
comparative strength of the Brown team
this fall. Despite the disagreed BILE and
muggy weather of the past few days, Cap
tain Mott has kept his men hard at work
practicing for Saturdays struggle. All
possible means OF encouraging the men,
training them and perfecting the signals
have been taken by the captain and coach
Moyle. However, the practice OF yester-
day afternoon was quite unsatisfactory TO
Captain Mott. He thinks that the men
don't get enough life and snap into the
game. The eevens as they lined up
against each other yesterday were: Hall,
full back; Watson, right half-back; Rob
inson, left half back; Shead, quarter back;
heeler, center; Smith, right guard;
u 1hayer, left guard; Casey, right tackle;
Emory, left tackle; Murphy, right end;
Gamwell, lert end.si, The second eleven
were; Hunter and Chase, full back; Bar
ker, Casey and Jordan, half backs;
Coombs, center; Dyer, right guard; Ben
nett, left guard; Jones, right tackle; At
water, left tackle, Chase, right end Den
nison, left end.
Ii must be confessed that the practice
was poor as whole. The men seemed
"logy" Robinson did not seem TO put
his usual push into the game. Thayer
and Smith didn't show their best FORM
Emory's tackling was very poor. Shead
was tried at quarter back for the first
time. He showed up very creditably con-
sidering several difficulties under which
he was working. The management
seemed quite pleased with his work.
On the second eleven, Chase and Barker
tackled well. Jordan was tried for the
first time AT halt and be ran well with
the ball, making some good gains.
As TO what men will comprise the team
Saturday, nothing definite can be ascer-
tanned. The team will not be picked out
until the players are on the field i'm uni
forms. 1t is possible that quite a number
OF men may be tried, i'm order TO deter
mine who are the stronger men for the
future games.
There are some men, however, who are
practically sure OF position on the team.
They are Mott, Mccarthy, Smith, Thayer,
Emory, Robinson, Casey and Matteson.
However, nothing is certain about the po-
