ing of the Monroe Doctrine. That is
a question which has never gone out of
date / still hear it discussed in the
stores as of old. There. was a great
outburst of patriotism when Lafayette
came here in 1924, and some of the peo-
pie of my neighborhood went to New
York to see him. Congress presented
him with 100000, and many thought
such an amount would ruin the United
States Treasury" The couple have
four surviving children, sixteen grand
children and sixteen great grandchil-
dren. At the time of their marriage

FIRST SCRIMMAGE
FOR MAR00NS
Stage Shows His Squad to the
Visiting Football
Coaches.
Journal Special Service.


Chicago, Oct. 6.-Trying out the rules in &C
tual scrimmage for the first time, the candidates
for the maroon varsity eleven and the freshmen
yesterday afternoon put thru two halves
Of strenuous football on Marshall field. The
varsity men succeeded in scoring two touch
downs and defeated the youngsters by a score
Of II to 0.
Conspicuous in the playing was the use made
of the forward pass. Many attempts were made
to work this innovation, but only three ames
was it successfully negotiated by the varsity
and once by the freshmen. Each time it was
worked it was good for from 10 to 20 yards,
but every failure meant the loss of the ball.
No complicated passes were tried. Following
the first touchdown the lineup Of both squads
was completely changed.
The scoring of the second touchdown brought
out an interesting question, which had probably
never before been raised. The freshmen had
secured the ball on their vineyard line and
formed for punt, which was blocked by Parry.
The ball was back Of the goal line and passed
beyond the extension Of the side lines. 1t then
rolled back into the -touch-in goal, where Hew
lit of the varsity squad fell upon it. Stage
ruled that it touchdown, altho the rules
do not specifically cover such case. Parry
punted out to Walker and then kicked goal
