hensive and thought it possible that
Il large detachment of the Federal
army, instead of moving northward,
weuld proceed to Washington and
Baltimore, and go to Richmond by
water. remarking that, it would COM
pei the immediate return of his army
TO Virginia. The apprehension was
due entirely to his hearing nothing
from Stuart, and determined him to
take action that would compel the enc
my leave Virginia and deter him
from any attempt on Richmond. At
night of June %, General Lee first
learned from scout of Longstreet's
that the Federal army had moved
s1uarthward and had reached Frederick
.Wfths it's advance, Meade in command,
and with the object apparentlyto OBJ
struct Confederate communication with
Virginia. Lee considered it of great
Importance to keep the encmy's army
isast of the mountains, and Col. Mar
snail gave the various orders made
with this view, adding:
You will thus see that the move
ment to Gettysburg was he result of
the want of information which he cav
airy alone could obtain for us. 1t
would have been entirely within Gen
erai Lees power to have met the enc
my while stretched out on the road be-
tween Fredericksburg and Gettysburg
1t had not been his intention to de
liver battle north of he poomac, il
it could be avoided, except upon his
own terms
The evidence offered, Col. Marshall
thought, abundantly established the
fact that the cavalry movements were
not made by Gen. Lees orders and that
he had not at q critical moment Of the
campaign sent the entire cavalry forcd
OF his army upon useless raid. The
cavalry movement he attributed to
Longstreets suggestion to Stuart and
the failure of Stuart, after the discre.
tion Longstreet had given him was at
an end, to retrace his steps and obey
Lees order to be on Ewell's right, the
speaker closing as follows:
Stuarts latter movement was not
sanctioned either by the suggestion OF
Gen. Longstreet or by the positive or.
ders of Gen. Lee, and from the tenor
of Gen. Stuart's report, it would seem
that he entirely mistook the part he
ment Of the army. He placed himself
east of the Federal army with that
army between his command and the
Confederate forces. He left Gen Lee
without any information as to the
movement of the enemy from the time
he crossed the Potomac until July o.
by his silence, he caused Gen. Lee
TO move his army to Gettysburg, not
with the expectation or purpose OF
fighting the enemy but simply to pre-
vent a movement which he supposed
the enemy was making, To obstruct
his line of communication, with Vir-
ginia and caused him to fight the bat
tie of Gettysburg without having his
whole force present except on the third
day when it was equally possible had
Gen. Lee been informed of what the
enemy was doing, for him to have
fought that battle with his entire
force, while the enemys forces were
approaching Gettysburg.

ciaD-On Sunday evening last DIR. J.
II. Powers, of Wake Forest, gave the
ularfortnightly lecture to the Bible
Bands. His subject was, 'The Healing
Art in the Time of Christ" After an
Introductory allusion to the division
of Biblical students into two clases, the
radical and the conservative, in these
modern days, he sketched the history
of medicine, and showed how the scien-
tific conception of disease, which grad
ually grew up among the Greeks was
effectually excluded from the Jewish
mind by its hostility TO all alien ideas
So that in the time of Christ the Pales-
tine theory of disease was that it was a
special visitation upon sin, or the re-
suit OF the presence of evil spirits, and
the curative methods resorted to of
course cOnformed to this theory and
consisted almost entirely of incanta-
tion processes to expel the spirits. He
gave a number of the ludicrous pre-
scriptions of the day. Next followed
some account of the diseases of the
Bible, which were considered under
the two heads, miraculous and natural,

rev. Z. &. Biting, ID. d., Bible Secre-
tary of the American Baptist Publ
cation Society of Philadelphia, gave an
address Thursday evening last on the
history and work of that Society. Fri
day morning during the first recita-
ton period in the chapel he gave, with
special reference to the Bible Bands, a
delightful lecture on Solomon's Tenn
pie. In presenting him and his sub
ject President Taylor remarked that
DR.. Biting probably knew more about
that subject than any other man in
this country.
DIR. Biting told how he came to
study the subject and the severe and
original work which he was compelled
to put upon it. In passing he said
that the popular idea that Masonry
possessed some secrets about Solo
mons Temple had no foundation in
fact. The association of that order
with the Temple was not historic but
merely legendary, and the legends
themselves arose only i'll the middle
ages and after. The only source of
information was the Bible particular
ly the books l Kings, Chronicles, and
Ezekiel, which last, in opposition to
the majority of commentators, the lee
turer held supplemented the first two
books as to the construction of the
Temple. His studies resulted IN the
discovery of the plan of the building
which was quite at variance with the
published figures. The plan had been
| submitted to DR.. Walters, the archi-
tect OF the dome and present wings Of
the capital at Washington (who was a
Bible student and Baptist), and was
pronounced by him as architecturalIy
workable and as the only one which
was consistent with the descriptions
of the Bible. The side walls were not
vertical, but in cross-section showed
like stairsteps (three in number), so
that the interior was wider at the top
than at the bottom, the steps being
supported on the outside bv three
ranges OF pillars; which according to
the record looked like forest of ce-
dars. The Holy of Holes" was
cubical box sitting at the rear end of
the building. The priests sometimes
occupied the steps or galleries of the
Holy Place gaining access to the lowest

Last Another Week.
GREAT MASS OF EVIDENCE

OF the season. The ex-co1legfates have
another man who will probably be used
in this position, and change off with
Moore, Rol Lanpher. an old High
school player. Rol is short, but stocky
and full of pluck He plays with life
and energy, and is a magnificent tackier
and interference breaker. There are
few ends of his size and build who can
excel him. He can also play at half
back, having held that position while
captain of the high school team.
At right end, the old players will
have Tom Cochran, another Yale man.
Cochran would have made an even bet
ter reputation than he now holds as an
end If he had not been unfortunate in
nearly always getting injured in some
minor practice game early in the sea-
son. He goes into the play with WON
derful dash and puts up a hard, daring
game. Like all Yale men he works
splendidly in the interference and al
ways helps out his half back in the end
play. He did a great deal of the coahc-
ing for the university two years ago
and discovered Harrison. the man
whom he is to play opposite to- Har-
rison and Cochran will do some very
pretty playing against each other. Har-
riSon captains the university eleven
and is the best end ever. seen on the
" campus. He follows the ball bet
ter than any man on his team and gets
into every play. Tall and angular he
has the build of a player. In the Ames
game last Saturday he made several
sensational plays. 1t is not often that
an end is said TO advance the ball, but
Harrison is relied upon by the 'sU" to
make their long runs and pull them out
of tight holes. It is a difficult matter
to make comparisons between Harrison
and Cochran as their style of play ma
terially differs. Cochran is the more
valuable on the defense and Harrison
in advancing the ball. AS captain of
his team Harrison has made a splendid
success and will leave the 'fU'' with an
enviable reputation.
The old players have Van Camper at
quarter. Van is an ex-university play
er, strong. steady and reliable He
played three years for the ''U'' and is
valuable man on any team He
backs up the line and 1t is a rare thing
that man who gets through center
passes him. He Is quick and gets the
ball back clean and sure, rarely making
tumble. The quarterback of the tsIJ''
team Woodwork, who was captain and
quarter of last years Minneapolis Cen
trail high school team. though fresh
man, Is tried man and good PLAYER
He passes accurately and swiftly, but is
inclined to be somewhat slow in getting
into Interference. He is good at tack
ling, but with the strong heavy center
he has in front Of him runner rarely
gets through that part of the line. AT
quarter the advantage is with the
graduates.
McClung will be left half for the ex-
collegiates. While at college he was
rated as the best half back on the foot
ball field. AZ strong, hard runner, he
rarely failed to make his distance His
forte was bucking through the line.

game has so rapidly taken a strong
hold upon the American people as
what is known as American college
football. Ten years ago it was little
known outside of the schools and col
leges, and among them it was second
airy to other sports. AS soon as the
game became well learned, and the
rough edges were taken off the early
style of play, the general public took
hold. and ever since it's popularity has
been spreading, so that now there is
scarcely a school in the country or a.
town large enough to support a team
that is without it's eleven. No less
than $4,000 people see the great cham
pionship game Of the season on the
Polo grounds in New York Thanks
giving day between the two leading
colleges. No other sport gathers such
a crowd
In st. Paul the game is not very we'll
known. The reason is found in the
fact that there is located here no large
educational institution. HamIine and
Manchester have had teams, and very
fair ones, but neither college has prom
erly supported its elevens. and this
year they are unrepresented on the
gridiron. The St. Paul high school
generally has a f1rst-rate school team
which has been able to cope success-
fully with some Of the strongest eIey-
ems in the two cities
There are several old players about
town who take the same live interest

when they were ION the team in COL
lege. There are many others. college
and school alumni, who have developed
fondness and interest in the game.
which seems to Increase rather than
abate with each successive season.
And these comprise the very best
young and middle-aged men in the
community. The size of this class
in st. Paul is growing rapidly. This

rather poor shape. He is large and
200. He has trained hard but is so large
that he will hardly be fit to stand the
pressure of an entire game, while he
lasts he plays hard and fast. but is
liable to weaken. In this position the
university will have somewhat of an
advantage. Fulton is a large, strong
man, the heavyweight of the team,
tipping the scales at 225 in his foot
ball suit. Besides being strong, he is
quick and works well with his quar-
ter. No man is in better condition on
the university team. He plays right
through the game at the same even
pace. His main weakness is that Oc-
caSionally he gets careless and let's a
man through. Evening up the centre
men on the two teams there is little
choice in general strength 1t is pretty
safe to say that the ground that is
gained won't be gained through centre.
The tackles will be watched with
much interest. The position is one of
the most important in the line. A place
where weak man can do a lot OF
harm. AT right tackle the eX-colle-
giates will have Bugge, an army officer
and West Pointer. He is one Of the
strongest aggressive players on the
football field. Being a rative Mime
sotan he Is made Of good stuff, which
with the discipline of the army, has
rounded him out into a heavy, dashing
player. He watches every opportunity
and is always to be found near the
ball. In the game last year between
the Boat club and the university, there
was not man that broke through his
portion of the line. Bugge will have for
an opponent A. N. Smith, a new man
at the gu" Smith comes from ST.
Johns school. near New York city,
where he learned to play good football.
He Is a fast runner and has the adj
vantage of being heavy, weighing over
100 pounds. His game Is steady and he
tackles like fiend going at his man,
always low. Bugge has had the adj
vantage of more experience and should
IN general work, if IN condition, show
up in better shape. In individual play
at this position, the ex-collegiates have
some advantage, which on the ''U''
the assistance their tackles will have
In the all-around team play.
Left end will be watched for the ex-
collegiates by Lieut.. Moore, who, like
Bugge, is an old West Pointer and a
member of the Third infantry at Fort
Smelling. He played in the last memoir
able game at Annapolis, between the
military and naval academies in which
West Point, after a terrific struggle
won. He is light, but quick and alert,
catches his man low and follows the
ball well. The life of an army man is
conducive to good athletic form and
they are generally found to be in first
class physical condition. The army
players whom Twin City crowds have
seen play, have all been workers to the
last blow of the referees whistle, and
Moore is no exception to the rule He
will not have very hard man to OPP
pose. Scandrett, who plays at rightend
for the university, is a new man, rather
slow, and not sure of his tackle. He
gets down the field well and, like Har-
rison, is generally ODE found some
where near the ball. He has shown
more improvement perhaps, than any
member Of his team since the opening
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-10-31

He was on the Yale team for three
years and in his senior year was cap
tain. He also played for three seasons
on the base ball nine. He will be one
or the ma1nstays Of the. ex-collegiates
in advancing the ball. The other posi-
ton at half for the ex-collegiates is
filed by Pillsbury Like Harding he
commenced his football education at
the university several years ago and
about the same time, but stopped, sat
isfied with taking only two or three de-
grees. His place while in college was
at quarter. He is, however, fully as
good at half, but for the fact that he
is little light. With fifteen or twenty
more pounds he would be one Of the
best in the country. AS it is he is pref
ty sure of his ground and seldom miss
es his tackle. Last year in the boat
club Duluth game he made the finest
run ever seen on a Western football
field. The "U' will play at half Bag
ley and Heath. Both are good men,
steady and sure. They each weigh
about 100 and work well together. This
is their first year In the varsity team
and while neither of5fthem has done
anything brilliant. each has proved
this position the eX-collegiates de-
cidedly outshine the undergraduates
The old players will put up the more
brilliant dashing game, but it will be
hardly so effective on account of the
splendid team form which the universe
ty is showing.
At full back it is a star against a
good man. Jerrems is fresh from Yale,
where he played three years. Last
year he was one of the best line hit
tiers on any of the big teams He is
also a good kicker and places the ball
with good judgment. All this fall he
has been coaching the university, and
it is due to his work in a large measure
that they are making such a. fine show
ing now. He has been on the field
playing with them more or less, and is
in splendid condition. Babe" LOOMS
is the varsity's full back. Last season
he played half with much credit. His
strength is in his ground gaining. His
kicking is only fair. and in some of
the early games he was way off in his
catching.
For substitutes both teams have good
men. If either McC1ung or Pillsbury are
laid off, Sport Leary will take his
place. Paul Weed, of Princeton, will
be ready to play at full, and for the
Langford, Newport, Griggs and Whid-
den The university substitutes are
Walker, Tiegen and Jurgens, all men
who have had more or less experience.
The two teams may be sized up
briefly thus In team work and team
play the university will excel. Their
interference will be better, and they
will play in greater unison. The grad
yates have the better individual play
ers. Man to man they will outrank
the students, and will doubtless eX-
hibit some brilliant individual work.
If the university can play a faultless
rapid game, they should come near to
winning. If the ex-collegiates are able
to show any team play, and can last
they will win. However it goes, it
will be close, and lovers of football
will see grand game.
